| Re: The '08 848 2008 Ducati 848 and 1098R - First Look - MotorcycleUSA.com "Ducati claims the new mill delivers 180 ponies at 9750 rpm and 98.8 lb-ft of torque at 7750 rpm. In racing kit trim, Ducati ups the peak power claims to 186 horsepower." They should of called it the 1198R... The 07 1098S claimed 160hp but when on the dyno was more like 140rwhp.. So It will be interesting to see what dyno numbers the 1098R put out.. Im sure it will be in the 160i-170 rwhp range.. Either way its a bad bike... Both of them... Makes ya wonder why honda didn't come out with a new v-twin.. But alot of rumors say the 08 CBR was the last inline for honda, to be replaced by a twin.. My goodness I think im wanting one of these too(1098R)... The numbers sound amazing... Last edited by Maholli : 11-05-2007 at 9:28 PM. |

it amazes me that none of the big4 make a high end twin anymore  . i dont get it. so much more fun to ride IMHO than a i4. given that i4s are fun to ride, just like twins | |

| Re: The '08 848 Depending on how the final numbers come in and basing off the actual numbers that the 1098 has the 848 should weigh very close to a 600RR with nearly the power output of the RC51. My only complaint is the lack of a slipper clutch. I think they should be standard on a twin.

| Re: The '08 848 I showed my wife these pics and she said I can have a Ducati if I paint it to look like this one. It may be my favorite paint job ever on a bike. The bike is featured in this months Robb Report Motorcycle. It's more than just a pretty face though. It has a completely upgraded engine with Ti con rods and all sorts of other cools bits.

| Re: The '08 848 Hey Slickwill, Do you think that if I show my wife a picture of a '08 600RR painted up like that Ducati she'll let me buy one?  |
