Hello all, new to the forum, thought I'd post up in the noob section, eagerly awaiting the arrival of an 848 Evo next Friday....6 more sleeps!
Thanks for all the welcome messages, a quick update. She arrived early Saturday morning safe and sound, I had her collected from the seller by http://www.a2bmotorcyclemovers.co.uk I can't recommend these guys highly enough they were super helpful, good value for money, small family run business mindset nothing's too much trouble. I have to say I was really nervous, this is the first bike I've bought blind as it were, saw her advertised on fleabay about 6 hours drive from me. I didn't want to miss out on a low mileage, cared for '10 EVO at a good price so contacted seller and had a chat, gut feel was good. The bike came exactly as he'd described including termi's, bunch of genuine ducati carbon bits (hugger, heelguards, exhaust guard.), upgraded levers, race seat, cowl etc and original bits boxed up for which made me feel like I'd gotten an even better deal. Good people are out there! Especially Ducati owners it seems. First impressions are great, still in the honeymoon period, Saturday was good'ish weather my way so donned the leathers and out for a blast...mirrors are shocking but everything else is sublime. Sunday lashed down so gave her a good clean, lubed up and spent a few hours just staring and coo'ing at her stately curvy redness! Please sun shine at the weekend!
