How I get My Kicks

Two days ago when the weather was a little warmer I decide to take da Ducati 848 out for the afternoon,
The bikes is so near perfect it makes everything else in its range but a 1098R seam a bit pointless.

Fookin gorgeous mate:)

Has it got a springy stand?

Wow, very nice pictures mate! Great style, really creates an urban feel.

I’d love to ride the 848 after riding the 1098.

That looks better in your pictures than it does in real life (and it looks good in real life!)

Nice job. Apparently, white is the new red. It looks stunning.

was the dealer anywhere local mate? tempted to take one out for a spin, still a bit of a ducatisti!

that is one sexy bike

On reflection…You and that Ducati are looking like you were made for each other…Bye Bye Gixxer?

That is currently the ONLY bike that I would trade mine for. Great pics too!

Nice shots! Love the reflections in the mirrors, wicked idea! :cool:

Brilliant pictures mate

Cracking set of pics there mate, you’ve certainly got a good eye for it, especially like the one with the graffiti reflecting in the mirrors.

Good show, looking forward to your future contributions ! :slight_smile:

Bella, bella!

Gorgeous bike and great pics. Talent all round.

It’s nicely different. At this level there’s not much between them, certainly not enough for a rider of my ability to determine. The Ducati was taller, stiffer, the brakes too grabby, but the engine was a peach. Horses for courses, but it’d take me a long time to get as comfortable on a 1098 as I am on my gixxer.I’d like to give it a go though :slight_smile:

Still, you can’t give up the insane head-rush of a 13.5k rpm 1000cc inline-four. That’s bonkers.

Great pics, and I love the 848. :smiley:

Only bike i might consider trading mine for !

I hated the 916 style stand. It made a nervous wreck of me on the few occassions I got to ride one. It made fuel stops almost heart stops:w00t:

Maybe I should try a 1098:cool:

Cracking pics, awesome looking machine too! Have to admit I couldn’t understand all the fuss about the 1098 last year. But the 848 I do like, certainly stood out from the crowd in that colour scheme the first time I saw one sitting outside a Ducati dealership!! :cool:

What is the difference between the two except for the colour, engine size and stickers?
