Hi everyone. Been having a look around on here the last couple of days. I’m impressed with the forum and info. Good work. I’m 33 in Staffordshire and on the hunt for a nice white 848. Being a bit fussy of what I want. Previous bikes include Various motorcross R6 R1 R1 Aprilia SXV 650 Crbr600rr Gsxr 600 Crf250l (to calm down now I have a daughter ) But after the motorcycle live show and my dad getting a new bike I’ve got the fix. I was going to go for a naked street bike but I just love the look of sports bikes and style of riding and need to try out a Vtwin. Soooooo HI
Hi Gray84.Welcome to the forum,great for banta and info on here. Ducati 848 was my 1st Ducati and white,had her for 7 years.Great to ride,turns in well and eye catching. Hope you find a good one. If you find 1 with no Termi’s, fit some.Its the Law,as is the photos on here with bins in the shot!.
Oh I will be fitting the cans. Always the 1st thing on my bikes. What is it with dukes and termi’s.?? Why not akras? I am a pic whore And what’s with the bins? Lol How will this bike compare to a jap 600 speed and power wise? Lots of questions.
Akrapovic, Slovenian. Termignoni, Italian.......... !!! The bins are down to Ducbird, I believe. As for the difference between jap bikes and Ducati bikes,the power delivery is smoother. The engine braking,(less use of break pads ££) compared to the in line 4’s ( I know jap bikes have different configurations of engines) and just the pleasure of owning,riding and cleaning a Ducati puts a smile on my face.
Well today I’ve got me a white 2011 evo. Got pazzo levers ,termignoni system and it’s on full strip down for a clean. And I mean the fairings are half off. Chains removed and in a heated garage waiting for me to go cut my knuckles. Just ordered a 14t front sprocket ,few carbon bits. K&n filter ,new Brembo pads. Double bubble screen. Needs the side fairing painting as it’s been dropped and i need a new rear brake lever if anyone knows where I can get one? Verdict is- It’s quicker than I thought it would. Sounds better. Not in your face yet sounds awesome. It’s honestly the most fun bike I’ve owned I think. Only got about 70 miles out on it.
