It shares the same high-performance characteristics as the standard 1098 R, including the potent 1198.4cc engine that delivers 134.4 Nm of torque at 7750 rpm. This engine provides explosive acceleration and a thrilling riding experience, known for its strong mid-range and top-end power.

Like the standard 1098 R, the Bayliss LE weighs in at 165 kg and has a seat height of 820 mm, making it incredibly agile and responsive to rider inputs. The Öhlins 43mm fully adjustable upside-down fork with TiN treatment provides exceptional handling and control. The Brembo brakes ensure ample stopping power. The 6-speed gearbox ensures precise and smooth shifts. This motorcycle is targeted at collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate both performance and racing heritage. Its unique livery and commemorative badging make it a highly desirable machine.
