New shape 848 / baby 1199?

Discussion in 'Panigale' started by Ducatibob848, Feb 20, 2013.

  1. I'd love an MV F3 800 but the company reminds me a lot of Ducati as they were 20 years ago.

    Great bikes with a few idiosyncrasies, iffy build quality and dubious back up.
     
  2. Got to say that the local mv dealer was very friendly but it felt like it was run on a shoestring budget which fills me with horror when you need assistance. Which I will I guess.

  6. If this is kosher, its a no no for me coz it looks so ugly with that swinger..
     
  7. Gotta agree if there gonna go double sided swinger they could do a much better job than that
     
  8. Looks like a Monster 696 swingarm lol

  13. I believe the production has come to a halt, or at least very few 848's are coming out of Italy, there are only 2x 848 Evo (non Corse) on the Ducati stock system and I have just bought one :)

    I like everyone here looked seriously at the MV F3 675 and 800, the 675 was off because I have a Daytona 675 so not different enough and the 800; well generally I agree that MV just seem to need some big investment in spares and dealer backup.

    With regards to Mini Panigale, I'm not massively upset about the Dual Swingarm tbh; the later xx9 series look great with those black swingarms; for me. I found the 848 more comfortable, my knee's don't rub on the fairings and it has that 'old shool' heritage look about it. plus, it will be £13K+ I think, which is too much until I work harder!!
