Ducati 848-My juices are beginning to flow!

It has the 1098 swing arm too.

Its very similar to the 1098. I wonder will it be as stiff...
Has anyone here driven a 1098? I just wonder if it is any fun to drive off the track. I mean, the bike is just unbelievably fast. Basically mere mortals are never going to go anywhere near the limits of it.

I dunno. It kind of scares me I suppose. I mean, the SP4 scared me... whenever I glanced down at the speedo. Heh heh heh.


That white colour looks sort of amazing.

Ratty that is a "9" mate. You'll have to excuse me though I have always had this thing about yellow. (Apart from custard of course!)

Phil......The latest "8" series are a tadge more focussed I believe and definitely not at their best pootling around as the steering can appear quite heavy or stiff as you mention. However the beauty is all there when you wind them on as they are extremely flickable yet rock solid in faster turns.

ah it is a 9...gorgeous init! maybe if i i might get one! see it at the ace cafe.

It's nice, but certainly styled in a way which won't surprise anybody. The white is nicer with the black belly, fender and red graphic too (imo).

Gorgeous bike, going to be a couple of years until I change my bike, might have to see what the 2nd hand values are on these whenI do

Completely white is a very odd way to go with this don't you think? But having said that...it does work for me.
