848 Picking up 848 on Friday

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by Roadtrip, Mar 19, 2014.

  1. Well i have gone and got one,
    My first Ducati its the one that was on Evilbay and being sold by Snell's,went there last Friday evening, 150 miles round trip but worth it i was a bit surprised what came with it which was not in the add but then again i have never brought a bike from a dealer.

    The test ride was an eye opener and a bit loud need ear plugs and it doesn't ride like a two stroke which i am used to riding:) and there was a lot of engine braking, so i have a bit of learning to do but should be fun :cool:

  6. Nice, no pics, no happened ;)
     
  7. Did it come with a sidecar :D
     
  8. It comes with an Yam 250lc side winder, anyone remember them :)

    In the add it didn't mention that it came with a box of bits,
    Rear footrest's (not in photo add) also original end cans with ecu, airfilter, (slash cut termi's fitted)
    Also fitted was Brembo, front / rear and clutch master cylinder caps.
    Service, with oil and filter, both belts (reg is March 2010 so time up on belts) plugs and new mot / tax all were not mentioned in the add but as i say I've never got a bike from a dealer before,
    Very happy with Snell's so far i was speaking to Tom and Dave for a couple of hours and left about 6,30 heading for the lovely M25 with a :)

    Forgot to mention it comes with one years Ducati warranty.
