Ducati 2022 998
Fitted with the Testastretta engine which won the WSBK championship in 996R guise, it deliverd 123 hp and 71 lb-ft, up from the 112hp and 67 foot pounds of the previous model. Motorcyclist magazine wrote, "...overall, this 998 feels more like a 748 that swallowed a really big gulp of nitrous than it does a 996." Their review concluded with a simple statement: "Although it inspired Honda RC51s, Suzuki TLs and Aprilias, there's still nothing in the world quite like the 916, sorry 998, all these years later."
