Ducati 848 Streetfighter

[Kriswithak]

Looks interesting, well except the price.
Love the fact websites are claiming its 'competitively' priced...
Against what? Certainly not the Japanese mid size fighters that Ducatinewstoday.com claims people will be switching from, unless they expect to see some huge rush of people from the R1s, and other full faired thousands (unlikely imo, regardless of performance figures).

19k + onroads, so closer to 20.

I'd seriously consider one around the 16 mark.

Apparently its 13k in the US too.... Not sure how that works, our dollar is stronger, and its being imported from Europe right?

Tell you what, Ducati makes some beautiful bikes!

If I had the money I'd have one in my garage. Since I don't I have a Yamaha FZ6 in my garage. Either way, I'm happy about what's in my garage. :thumbup:

im pretty sure hes refering to this 2012 Ducati Streetfighter 848 First Look - Motorcycle USA

and that is one sick a$$ bike and imo i wouldnt be caught dead on a clown painted bike like that one ^^^ even if it was a ducati

Probably against other Ducatis.

I love the look but here in the 3rd world it will cost an arm and a leg and another leg.

I'll keep my 2004 Fazer for now.

I've heard from a few circles that the 848 is an awesome bike as well as witnessing it in real life but it is not comfortable as a bike other that track and the twisties. Other than that they've worked magic with the motor on this bike not to mention the chassis.
There's nothing like a short stroke L twin. :BLAA:

I don't mind the original 848 in the normal red or that off-white cream kinda colour either.

The streetfighter looks amazing though. Just wish it had a reasonable price on it

I love the original Duc Streetfighter & already sold on this one.

Can't afford it though

I haven't been on a Ducati Streetfighter, but I think they re-did the ergos for the 2012 model. Will be interesting to see what they are like.

I think the design is amazing. If I was in the market for a bike I'd definitely put it on my list.

I just wish it had twin headlights, not sure why but I have a thing for them. Still looks fantastic mind you.
