I'll consider all used bikes, just want to avoid the initial hit of buying new. Ideally mid £8ks for a dealer bike, low £7ks for private. Haven't looked at what Corse's go for so haven't got an idea of what I'd pay for one yet.
Righto.......just that i know there are a couple of 848 Evo Corse SE's around 2011/2012 reg's but they're around the £11.5k mark. If I see anything I'll let yo know.
Its possible ET. It'd have to be the red/white/black one. I really dislike the grey/black Corse (sorry to anyone who has one). Would be nice to have factory warranty left and a no servicing for a while. One thing that sold the bike I bought was that it was low milage (1500), had the belt service and brand new tires, so was basically service free for 2 years (unless I really piled on the miles, which actually was pretty likely I since found out )
Ignore the little willy 1098 brigade,just be happy in the knowledge that an 848 will satisfy every need :wink:
Well I know that Ducati Manchester have one and SMC in Sheffield had one about three weeks ago. (Both red,white and black ones). Might be worth having a word with your local dealer and see if they can get one for you if they haven't got one themselves.
Mate seriously if you are along questions a week into ownership, whether a bad bike or not, get a 1*98 or at least a long test ride on one. Seems like karma it's going back to me
I was a power hungry madman, that's why! First sports bike I'd ridden let alone a Ducati, lets say I've matured a bit in the three weeks since owning one :tongue: But I'd love to ride a 1x98, and the teenager in me still wants a litre bike in the garage, but I think the 848 is enough.
Still can't find the bugger! What am I doing wrong... but there's another one, 2012, 400 miles for 10,994. So basically new. edit: ok found the manchester one now. Looks nice!
Send it back then go ride a 1098, its a proper, top of the line road bike, the 848 is a race engine in a cheap suit. And if we're talking 10k you can have an S with shiny gold bits :biggrin:
eBay- spanking 848 road legal track bike- £8.5. Quite a few trick bits on it. With regards to yours. Sell it. I wouldn't buy it with that damage, no matter how small.
