But yes the handling blows stock.. Nobody who races them run stock triples or rear link, shock.. Ever... How can Ducati be so stupid I don't know.
That's the first thing to do with an 848 .. get the suspension sorted.Originally Posted by shanes
If the OP wants it for the road, it is a fine bike with more than ample power to get a plod tug ..... had over 110mph (clock indication so knock a bit off) in 3rd gear with a few more RPM to go on mine.
Road problems are cooking your nuts if riding through town, in heavy traffic, a lights and a numb arse/sore inner thighs after 200 miles.
Haven't tracked it as I am prone to binning bikes and breaking stuff including myself

Underneath my beard, there is no chin - Just another fist to pound you with.
For the road I thought it was a good enough bike. Suspension wasnt an issue for me.

Lots of envious looks from riders who wished they owned one.
I know this is an old post but how do you suppose anyone races one in the superstock classes where these parts aren't legal?
WERA NC #513
The same can be said about the 1198. I tracked it a few times, and did not like it at all.
