848 EVO

About this motorcycle

The Ducati 848 isn't just a small 1098, it's much more than that. The 848 is a fast fine-handling, gorgeous Ducati superbike in its own right. It's no longer the poor relation to its big brother, like the 748 and 749 used to be. Although the more powerful 1098 is faster in a straight line and around a track, in the real world the Ducati 848 is every bit as fast. The liquid-cooled Desmodromi, is not just a cheaper sleeved-down version of the 1098's motor. Chassis-wise the Ducati 848 is almost identical to the 1098, save for slightly lower-spec, but still fully-adjustable, Showa forks and Brembo radial brakes. Most significantly the Ducati 848 has a half-inch narrower rear wheel which gives the 848 greater agility and lighter steering than its bigger brother. In true Ducati superbike style the 848 is rock-solid stable in the corners, at the expense of slightly slow steering through flip-flop chicanes and very tight hairpins. This example comes with low miles! Please call for a video!
