It builds on the 1198 with the data logger, 8 level traction control, Ohlins suspension, lighter Marchesini forged wheels and a slipper clutch.
The 7-spoke wheels take a 120/70 tyre at the front and 190/55 at the rear.
Accessories include the Aluminium pegs, racing screen and a variety of Carbon bits.
