May 15, 2012 - The Jap motorcycles are very popular, because they deserve. However they aren't worse than others. They are really great bikes, but not that exclusive as Ducati or MV Agusta. If you don't like - just don't cry here. 4 Japanesse kings are perfect and you won't change it.

Apr 4, 2012 - bro, i couldnt agree more... it sounds total garbage and not like a racebike should sound like... at least 3 cylinders sounds more gruntier but not as soft as this crap ducati. Italians only perfect styling... the day they perfect the whole package, is the day ill spend that extra 3-5 grand for one.

Feb 28, 2012 - great bike but the sound of two cylinders is shit ...

Feb 21, 2012 - Bit the bullit since last post. '12 848Evo pulls 123hp/73.5lbs out of the box. Slip-on nets it another 4hp/1lb. Rexxor mapping & a BMC puts it back to the advertised 136hp/75lbs. Still getting 33mpg too, so I imagine this was designed-in. Showa is surprisingly awesome, but springs are too stiff for anyone under 190lbs (+$120). Tires are great for track, but save them and use Dunlop Q2's as dailies. She does NOT like going slow and you can feel it come together when you start mixing it up.

Feb 21, 2012 - The 848evo is a huge leap forward the RC51 or 998 it contends with. I had to add a lot of work and money to an RC51 to still fall behind a showroom Evo. It's got a lot of guts, is planted, and is a perfect bike IMO. IMO, the 1198/1098 is easier to manage on the streets and some incentives place them just $1K apart. Right now you have the 848 Corse and MV F3 to split that difference too, either of which I'd buy right now. But I'm more than happy!

Aug 25, 2011 - About price (USD), what I'm offered currently at the dealer is $15K out the door for the 848, $17K OTD for 1198 + $1000 in Ducati credit (Termi's basically). 1198 adds some cubes/power and a working Traction Device for that grand but takes away the wet clutch which I prefer (miss the sound though). And then there's that darn MV F3 currently taking deposits for "maybe" an April '12 delivery (which usually means July at best).
Chumly409 Says:
Aug 25, 2011 - I'm interested in some of that as well. I rented an '09 848 (non-Evo) for a weekend, and as a past RC51 and 996 owner, the 848 is so ahead I almost chuckle when I try to compare them myself. I feel the 848's power curve is spot on, so it's there more early in the revs and felt much more friendly. From an RC51, the Ducs may have you feeling like you're setting on it rather than in it. I'm mixed between an 1198 and 848 myself. Dealer incentive has them basically $1000 different OTD.
