Hi all Soon to be a Ducati owner in the Wiltshire area, however still to decide on a new 848 evo corse or second hand 1098 tricolor Had a 20min guided test ride on the evo, and loved it however didn't get to exploit the ride/bike to its fullest, hence in two minds on getting 1098, after reading up on the evo it seems it does every thing just as well as the 1098 less the cc and is much more user friendly in slow/town traffic I think its the cc thing that's playing on me after my last bike being a 1000
Hmmm. ive seen a 1098 tri on a 07 plate, all recalls done, just wondering if a 5 year old bike would be any good
I thought between the two, but I was thinking if you get a 848, are you then going to wonder what a 1098 is like? I went for a 1098 in the end, but then each to there own I bought a smaller monster 796 in haste and always wondered what a bigger 1100 would be like, it was an expensive experience
Hi and welcome, I think you're going to be swayed towards the bigger bike by the folk on here! Just remember to put up pics when you decide!
I'm bone idle and like low-end stomp, so I'd be more 1098. For those happy to rev, no doubt 848 is perfect. Let's face it, they are both more than you need. I suspect I'd sooner have an 848 on track - less intimidating.
Thanks all for the welcome and info, Might be down to a second test ride me thinks. then i guess it depends on the better deal i can get on the bikes ?
test them both - only you will know went for the smaller streetfighter think it'll keep me alive a bit longer insurance may be a factor to
