Ducati 998 Motorcycle - Street (2002-2004)

The Ducati 998, produced from 2002 to 2004, stands as the final evolution of the iconic 916 series, introducing the groundbreaking Testastretta engine. This high-performance sportbike features a liquid-cooled, L-twin, fuel-injected, 4-valve per cylinder, desmodromic engine across all its variants. The standard 998 Testastretta engine had a 998 cc displacement, while the race-bred 998R featured a 999 cc engine with a larger bore. The 998 series itself marked a significant generation change from its predecessor, the 996, primarily through the introduction of the Testastretta engine in 2002. This engine was a complete redesign, boasting a more oversquare bore and stroke, a reduced valve angle, and increased horsepower. Beyond this initial introduction, there were no further mid-cycle generation changes in the traditional sense. Instead, Ducati offered various trims such as the 998S, 998R, 998 Matrix, and the 2004 998S Final Edition, each providing enhanced components and performance levels. FAQ:
