Hi New to Ducati Ownership. I took my CBR600 up to my local dealer for a Spring time browse, just to pass some time, no intention of buying anything. 20 minutes later i somehow ended up trading in the CBR for a beautiful Ducati 848. I'm still not entirely sure how it happened, its all just a blur! Ducati's really are a thing of beauty, how an-one can resist this forbidden fruit ill never know. To ride, the bike is very different from an inline 4, Hates being below 3k Rpm and i weigh nothing so needs a suspension setup to stop it skipping about over the bumps and a steering damper to settle the front end. Aside from these adjustments, its such a great bike.
Certainly enjoying it so far, needs softening up a bit for street use It certainly is, needs softening a bit for street use but feels great.
Welcome Michael, nice looking bike and a distinct departure from the Honda. Whereabouts, approximately, in the UK are you based?
