By John Cantlie on 29/06/2010 10:55:25
Ducati’s hand-made and deliciously savage 1098R is unashamedly brutal, it takes no prisoners and makes no excuses. We lived with the £26k masterpiece for three weeks to find out if you can really live with such excess

By Jon Urry on 28/01/2008 11:07:47
Jon Urry checks in straight after his first session on the 1098R
