Just to be curious, I asked my local Ducati dealer what they would give me trade in on my 3500 mile mint condition 848 for a 899 Panigale today - £6500... but they will fit some Termi's for free on the Pani... Think I'll keep the 848 for the time being then!
Have you seen it yet? I thought the same until I viewed one and one of the reasons for it is that its lighter than a single sider.
Yep Ducati w-ton just down the rd & saw them at Brands too ..... Just think it looks Cheap A step back from the 1098 imho. I know it maybe lighter but when you put the Rider on it does it really make a difference ??? I know I know unsprung weight etc, but in the real world .... On the road not the track does a few grams matter ? I'd rather have looks ....
Tank and subframe are made of steel not aluminium like the 1199 and I think the engine casings are aluminium instead of some magnesium alloy
I got £7,000 for my 4 year old 848 with 10,000 miles on it px for a 1199s. But that was March 2013 and the 899 was not about then, its just when a new model comes out the previous ones drop in value a lot unfortunately. Any 848 bikes bought in the last year are going to take a big hit on resale value from the price paid unfortunately.
