I have to admit, when i got my first (Ducati 749s) i really didnt think it coukd get better, well, improved lets say. The 749s was a truely great bike,Ive had fireblades from 2003 untik 2008 over the yrs. NONE compared to the quality of the 2005 grey framed Ducati i had. And then the duke was years ahead re handling & character. Seriuosly. So i decided to move forwad & when an 848 came up for sale i took the jump!. One owner, small lowside but im hsppy, Aint rode it much yet but will update as i go. Picked it up the wkend but in London all this week with work. Havimg had the 7499s in Germany,Itaky & Austriain one trip, i'll do tge same with the 848 next yr. Will keep this thresd up to dste re gurl rsnge etc...
I hope you won't miss the dry clutch rattle too much. :smile: Will you be changing your screen name? Say, how about 749sMix?
Did the exact same last yr. Still love the 749s but it aint even in the same ballpark as the 848, handling/power/comfort wise. The 848 is just a step up on everything
Same route I will do at some point when funds allow it. Much as I love the 749, the 848 is what I have wanted for a long time and was the bike I should have bought when I got the 1098 a few years back.....
I'll think of something, what about 784Dub..... Yeah I will defo keep a small log going. I was in London last week workim, was half p!ssed alright...:biggrin: feels tighter & lighter....but the DNA is still there. never a good time, just go for it ! Theres a market for clean 1098's. Here you go....krieaga 20 + 10 = 30 ltrs, plenty. :wink:
