That Ducati 848 just oozes sex appeal! From a standpoint of beauty, I'd say "go for it". From a practical standpoint however, I'm a bit more reserved.
I've ridden a co-workers supersport type bike and I honestly couldn't wait to get off of it. I guess I've grown accustomed to the more upright seating position of the FZ6 and don't like being forced to hunker down over the tank.
So in summary, my heart says "Yes" to a Duc 848 while my body says "No".

I think I'm getting ready to pull the trigger and order one of these.
Good idea or just plain silly? Discuss.
Not silly at all.
Annoys me Ducati have stopped making it in white. IMO the most stunning bike around is the 848 in white :thumbup:
Yes please, buy it! As others have said! :jawdrop::drool:

I'd buy it to look at it, not to ride it. I sat on one last week and it was very uncomfortable...major balls on tank. I am 6'5" so it does happen on almost every bike I sit on. But if you want to spend a little more, look at the ducati streetfighter. That thing is dead sexy and it fit me perfectly...to bad I refuse to pay 15k for a bike.

An XJR1300 makes for a wonderful alternative to a new R1

SUCKERS!

A Duc dealership just opened up a mile from my home this summer. First time I walked in, there was the 848 Dark, which I didn't even know they made (thought just red and white.) I nearly crapped my pants. Pure unadulterated sexiness to the Nth degree. I'm no expert, and there may be better bikes out there (mechanically or practically.) But NOTHING looks as good as that bike.
GET ONE!!! Dark FTMFW!

We've had the 'Dark 'range of Ducati's for years over here.Strange that it usually meant bargain basement spec,which was reflected in the price.
The 848 Dark however differs only in the matt paint finish.The running gear etc is identical,yet its about a grand cheaper than a shiny one...
