The Ducati 998 is a sport bike that Ducati made from 2002 to 2004, the successor to the 996 and the last variation of the 916. Its Testastretta (narrow head) engine, completely new from the crankshaft up, kept desmodromic valve actuation but cut the included valve angle from 40 to 25 degrees, used a 100.0 mm by 63.5 mm bore and stroke and raised output from 112 to 123 horsepower. The 998R and the non-US 998S had deeper oil sump crankcases and revised cam profiles, and the 998R displaced 999 cc. The 996R of 2001, built in 500 examples so the bike could race in the World Superbike Championship, won the 2001 championship with Troy Bayliss. Production ended in 2004 with the special order 998S FE Final Edition, of which 981 were made.
