Love this bike!
By (I am an Enthusiast) on Dec 21, 2008Believe it or not, I actually SOLD my 848 so I could buy this bike. Don't get me wrong, the 848 is a beauty and is a blast to ride... at the track. But this bike is a blast to ride ANYWHERE!!
I love the torque and street friendly gearing. Acceleration is great, breaking is softer than the ... 848 but perfect for this bike's set up, and handling is pure Ducati bliss!
I took this bike out for a 1000+ mile weekend, put it through it's paces on the twistys, and pulled wicked wheelies on the straight aways (yeah, yeah... I know, I need to grow up) and did it all in complete comfort. I couldn't have done that on my 848 and been able to go back to work on Monday...

Great Bike - Ducati Quality & Performance
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 09, 2008I love this bike! A blast to ride. Handles great. Plenty of torque and decent passing speed. Sound is AWESOME with full Arrow exhaust. No quality issues. Lot's of compliments. I've put 2500 miles on it so far and loved every mile! Seat comfort is good for 2 hour ride. Controls and instruments ... very good & straightforward. View in mirrors slightly obstructed by my arms. Thinking about putting on some CRG bar-end mirrors. I did put on a license plate relocator to replace the stock rear mud guard/plate holder. Very satisfied - waited a couple years to make my purchase and glad I did. Can't find enough time to ride.
