Video: 1098 track launch

MCN Editor Marc Potter travelled to the track launch of the new Ducati 1098 at Kyalami, South Africa in November 2006, and we’e got the first video of the bike in action.

During the launch Potter spent time with WSB rider Troy Bayliss who led him around the track.

The experience was made even tougher as the altitude meant the bike lost around 20bhp.
