Über-styled Ducati for R1.1m

If you’ve always reckoned the Ducati 1198S was just not special enough for you, then behold this race-tuned version from the lads at Red Fenix.

The 1198RF, yup the RF stands for Red Fenix, is decked out with all the most desirable oily bits. New 17-inch rear alloy from Marvic, Pirelli Diablo Superscora rubber for tyre, 47mm K-Service fork to replace the standard Ohlins version, uprated stopping power and bodywork almost exclusively from carbon fibre.

Ducati’s 1198S wasn’t exactly left wanting in the power department, but to really drive the point home Red Fenix squeezed another 8kW from the mill (now 138kW) and pushed torque up across the rev range.

A pretty impressive piece of machinery, but R1.1 million? Surely it can’t be six times better a standard 1198S?
