The 848 is s pretty bike, it's towards the top of my all time favorite bikes.

Fwiw I quite liked the 848 when it was introduced, but to my mind it already looks dated & bulky compared the the Pannini.

To be honest the ride is also very old skool compared to the 899. You would need a bit or work to get it to feel similar.

She is a beauty isn't she.

I think the 1198 corse with a alloy tank part painted looks even better as well 8)

Ducatis certainly have a hold over us and have the sex appeal! That one looks superb. Don't know a lot about Dukes really prob due to being it of price range so I'm a don't look cos can't afford it kind of guy but sometimes you need to peak through the door at certain ones haha!!
