08 848 duc

http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/my2008/ModelPage.jhtml?family=Superbike&model=SBK848-08 Pretty damm sweet if you ask me!!

Still doesn't have the hp of the 06 GSXR750, but I'd like to work out how I can keep my gixxer and also get one of those.

i saw this earlier and i must say, WOW! really clean looking bike.:funny:

thats a nice looking bike in white i like it

Oh my it's beautiful. Looks so good in white.

Beautiful!

Your right that is a sweet bike.

sexy

Damn its got a wet clutch, no more ducati air cooled dry clutch noise that i love so much...

Still doesn't have the hp of the 06 GSXR750, but I'd like to work out how I can keep my gixxer and also get one of those. yeah but its got close to the torque of a 1000,,,,,70 lb-ft.

i like it a friend of mine has a 1098 and if this thing rides as good and the 1098 does it will be on my list for sure :thumbup:

Is the 134 hp figure at the rear wheel?

loves it

i have never wanted a ducati until this moment right now.. its a special moment.

A very special moment... This will be my street bike once I completely convert my 600 for track... so sexy...

definitely considering getting one of these when i get my big ass raise. lol whenever that will be, maybe two years.

The duc looks great, but I just don't understand why anyone would pay that much for that bike when you can get a GSXR and trick it out for much less. They are a cool looking machine though. A friend of mine has a 1098 tri-color, and it's a really good looking machine. It should be though for the almost $25K he paid for it.

sweat looking bike, i like it:D

It should be though for the almost $25K he paid for it. well here... first of all, italy has a higher cost of labor compared to japan (forgot where i read exactly) on just about anything. with a higher cost of labor, comes a higher price, obviously. another thing, the 1098 tri-color, uses more expensive materials, carbon fiber panels, and the rest (cant remember on top of my head, search if you wanna know), well and rarity i guess. and i personally think the 848/1098 looks a lot better than any gsx-r. if money wasnt a problem, id definitely get this bike over any other jap bikes.

Did anyone read the specs on the 1098R that things got tractions control and a claimed 180hp http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/my2008/ModelPage.jhtml;jsessionid=0HVHO4BMEOM1WCRNCB2SFFAKFUIHUIV4?family=Superbike&model=SBK1098R-08

A very special moment... This will be my street bike once I completely convert my 600 for track... so sexy... You read my mind. The 848 is my next bike and I am going to convert my K7 600 to a track bike.

Im not going to give up my GSXR but i can add another bike to the garage... i think i saw a vacant corner somewhere in there!

it will be my next bike fo sho

i've always been a fan of the way the duc's look

damn that 848 is beautiful. anyone have a usd msrp?

damn that 848 is beautiful. anyone have a usd msrp? $12,999.00 is the rumor.

There is also a new Monster 696. http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z41/stevemcqueen007/6962.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z41/stevemcqueen007/6961.jpg

Thats pretty sicc....im lovin the white...

i'm really wanting one. i like the wet clutch, and i like that it comes in white, and i like that its 12k, and i like the front end, and i like the single sided swing arm, well......you get the point..:bounce everyone here is well aware that you can now pick up a used 750 MV Agusta for 9k to 13k right????? i may go that route, just because it will be more rare. you can also pick up the 1000k and the all black spr750 for about 15k. just info to think about. i like the duc, but the agusta spr may look a little more appealing to me......... http://www.auto-evasion.com/fiches-techniques-moto/images_membres/1F4-SPR.jpg

How about the 2008 KTM 1190 RC8? http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=5540&Page=1 Looks like 848 cut costs on brakes.

well here... first of all, italy has a higher cost of labor compared to japan (forgot where i read exactly) on just about anything. Maybe if they didn't take there 2 hour wine brakes and there 2 months off during the summer they would be able to compete price wise to the rest of the world? but it does look good though!!!! and price difference as some has said is worth a race year in tires :thumbup:

2008 MSRP $12,995 ($15,995 CDN) http://www.ducati.com/od/ducatinorthamerica/en/bikes/model.jhtml?model=2390

Wow. That bike is sexy. I was never impressed with the Ducati's until I saw that. :clap:

Ducs are so expensive, and really low on performance compared to the other liter bikes. I dont understand why they dont get on board with the rest of the bikes. but damn they look good, i park my gsxr next to a 999 at work. And i stop and stare at it everyday.

This is a sweet bike.

On the 1098 it's only a couple thousand more than the jap liter bikes for 180hp and more torque. Not to mention you'll have a bike that people won't be coming up to you every day saying "dis yo bike, yeah i gots one jus like it chromed stretched and dropped wit candy paint, come ridin wit us sometime we hang at insert parking lot here" and that right there is worth every to me. I know people are going to say "my GSXR 1k will walk a 1098 duc and it's cheaper therefore it's better" but IMO the ducati is a better bike on the track when comparing both stock.

yep that's sexy:bowdown:

I love it. I was hoping Duc would do a smaller bike similar to the 1098. I like the new KTM also. I hope they come out with a smaller version. I would love to have one for the street if I ever ride on the street again.
