848 Corse Or Not?

Hi,
This is probably a typical newbie question and many will be going 'Doh...' after reaing this but, the 848 I purchased in Dec '19 has Ducati Corse decals on the lower fairings which is no problem. However, I don't think the underlying bike is the Corse model? Were Corse varients of the 848 produced in 2008 and if so what are the differences?
Would the Corse model be evident in the V5 logbook - mine doesn't mention Corse. I'd rather know before some rivet counter starts pointing out what is correct and not (speak from bitter experience with BSA's!!).

Also, are Ducati fairing decals lacquered over?

So, sooo much to learn about Duc's and the 848.

Cheers
RR

 

Thanks for the speedy replies guys - thought as much; but hey ho it still looks good, if only a bit different! The Corse decals may be removed at some point to make it more 'stock' than something it isn't.......

 

Thanks Hannann,
Lucky you! My '08 848 was a bit a of rash purchase having just sold a 1954 BSA I'd restored and didn't want to ride; whereas I'd always wanted a Ducati.
And now I too have got the bug (not Coronavirus); just seen a 848 Corse with 3k miles up for sale.....soooo, so tempted.... but two new bikes in 2 months might upset one or two! Grand looking bikes you've had and still enjoy! Just love the Corse look. Thanks for confirming the info. Cheers RR.

 

Ummm...can't recall the price of that one; I looked at quite a few before viewing the one I now own. But can probably assume it was heading towards the 9 or 10k mark? But still hanker after one but have other projects in hand to spend money on ATM. Good luck with your search.
