Known as the Ferrari of the motorcycle industry and said to be the embodiment of perfection, Ducati motorcycles are still likely to be further improved. Motocorse, an Italian company specialized in producing aftermarket parts for sportbikes, recently introduced its latest creation, the Ducati Monster 1100 Titanium, motoblog.it reported.

The Ducati Monster in titanium includes both mechanical and stylistic upgrades. It is an unique model with a hugely reduced weight and greater performance. The Monster Titanium has a black tint with red finish and titanium, and parts made of carbon fibre which reduce weight to 156 kg.

Over 60 standard Ducati components have been replaced. The exhaust is a titanium Motocorse Evoluzione 54mm and the modifications to the engine now brings performance figures to 102.6 hp and 113 Nm, up from 95 hp and 103 Nm.

The brake discs are made from composite ceramic materials and measure 320 mm. They pair with Brembo Racing calipers and titanium pistons on a Motocorse radial mount.

Forged aluminum Marchesini wheels are included, and a full set of various titanium bolts and screws, with adjustable foot pegs on their own reduce weight by 12 kg. Motocorse offer two personalisation programs: Kit One Full Upgrade or Kit Two Standard Upgrade, and will also do the paint finish and assemble the parts.

2010 Ducati 1198S Corse Special Edition

The 1198 S Corse Special Edition sports a bold red, white and black colour scheme to mark the historic introduction of a new Ducati Corse logo and celebrate the winning of both the World Superbike and Superstock Manufacturers’ titles. The Special Edition ‘S’ features a factory team-style aluminium fuel tank and race kit as well as world-beating Ducati Traction Control.

At 168kg (370.3lb) (dry weight) the Special Edition model weighs in at 1kg (2.2lb) less than the 1198 S thanks to the beautifully made lightweight fuel tank, which also boosts the bike’s fuel capacity by 2.5 litres (0.66 US gal) to 18 litres (4.75 US gal). The tank is formed in 2mm thick aluminium, brush finished and clear-coated to maintain a factory race tank feel and proudly displays the new Ducati Corse logo on top.

The 1198 R Corse comes in the red, white and black Corse Special Edition livery bodywork with the new aluminium fuel tank clear-coated for all to see. The Trellis frame is also in red with the front and rear 7-spoke Marchesini wheels finished in black. The front fender and side panels are left in a contrasting natural carbon fibre finish while the belly-pan is painted, but reveals its carbon fibre material inside the aerodynamic recess for the side-stand. A subtle ‘1198 R Corse Special Edition’ graphic on the tail fairing leaves no doubt as to what this magnificent bike is.

This top-of-the-range model is supplied with a race kit that includes a full racing exhaust system with 102dB carbon fibre mufflers by Termignoni and dedicated ECU which raises power output to approximately 186hp (intended strictly for track use only). Also in the kit is a unique Ducati Corse branded bike cover designed by Aldo Drudi and rear paddock stand as well as an official cased plaque of authentication that confirms the collectable value of this exclusive motorcycle.
