Ducati 848-My juices are beginning to flow!

[glade]

I've just had a little accident!

I do like the 1098, but for some reason the 848 is so much more desirable... maybe because it is more usable and more attainable for me.

FFS, my mrs spent £12k on a renault clio... i think i could justify £9k on that!

Wow... just wow.

Is the "pearl white" colour scheme just so evidence of your "physical excitement" is camouflaged against the paint?

I have to say that the more I study the specifications and the pictures it is really growing on me. I really do not need what the 1098 offers as I cant use it, hell I can only use a fraction of what the 848 has especially at my pedestrian pace of riding.

A great boon to many might be that the new Ducati's have longer service intervals which of course brings owenrship costs down.......come I know there is not only me!

That's right. I was just talking to a Ducati mechanic guy there, and he mentioned this.
It is an animal bike.
All the way.

The problem for me is, no matter how good I get, no matter how many miles l get on the bike, the likes of a 1098 would laugh at my efforts.

And get in into to trouble in the mean time.
Lots of trouble.

White is the "In" colour for cars for 2008, so i expect to see more bikes going this way too.

I like it in white. Imagine that with some well chosen carbon goodies. It'll look peachy.

It's stunning! Dream bike for me now.. Maybe one day..

Lordy,Lord. I have been trying to give myself a serious talking to as to why not to buy one of these! I am though failing miserably!

Do it, you only live once! I would but can't afford it, couldn't insure it anyway!

Go for it mr H. Why not, if funds allow, you could get run over by a bus in a months time and not ride again. U'll be forever thinking, "I wish..."

Funds allow, go for it. I'd love to have money to spend on a nice sports bike (mind you, having the weather would be nice too).
