848
By john rodgers(Owner), Sep. 15, 2008
having owned an R1150rt, and a K1200r and a Daytona 676, the 848 is clearly a racing bike, but it is comfortable for street use and the handling is superior to anything I have ever ridden or tested. The handling and power make this bike a thrill to ride. The design is unique and as the LA Times re... Read Full Review

Great Motorcycle
By Ryan(Owner), Sep. 15, 2008
This is about the finest machine I have ever ridden. This bike was purchased with the intention to ride and ride hard.

A track weapon!
By W00tW00t(Owner), Sep. 16, 2008

And the torque is right there, on tap.. always! ... A truely awesome bike! I've been converted and am forever a Ducatisi! Read Full Review

A Focused Machine
By Chris(Owner), Sep. 16, 2008
The 848 is a damn fine bike that can keep pace with anything else out there. It doesn't hurt that it puts all of the new "stylings" coming out of Japan to shame.



A little work to the suspension and you have a sharp little track weapon that rewards its rider with a stable platform that ... Read Full Review
