Ever since I saw this bike (over 2 years ago) and heard others talking about it, I couldn't wait to jump on it. The bike is so hard to pinpoint down as it falls under so many different types of categories as it's not quite sure what it wants to be but in my mind, that adds to the character of this machine and the "fun" aspect. I know the video is a tad longer than usual but I hope you enjoy it!...

    My absolute dream bike, drop dead gorgeous design. Just have to own one at some point in my life. Just out of curiosity tho, what made you go for the 848 instead of the big daddy 1198. Trying to make that decision up for myself

I think 2 reasons if I remember rightly: 1) I didn’t have much experience on big litre bikes and came from a 600cc ninja so I thought I wasn’t ready for the big boy 2) I was on a budget and the 848 was significantly cheaper The only other thing people say is that the 848 is a bit more nimble but if all of those aren’t a problem for you then definitely go for the big brother!

      Very subjective question🥸. In my opinion, a motorcycle gives you the thrill that a supercar would at a fraction of the price. Also, when it's nice and sunny out there's no better feeling than being on a bike through some country lanes or on the way to the beach. But, downsides are it's more dangerous than a car and a bike like this you couldn't use it to go to work (not very practical). Hope that helps!

    Look at aftermarket clip ons for the handlebar issue.

    It’s expensive but look for a speedymoto top yoke, it’s a gull-wing shape which allows you to raise the bars by 15mm which makes a good difference. I tried the helibars also but didn’t like them as it’s a different offset. Smaller front sprocket is a cheap mod, 14t and helps a lot, and a Oberon clutch slave. I’ve had 2 848’s and love them to bits. I currently have a 899 which I hate to say it is better in every regard as a road bike but is such a different bike I’m hoping to get a 848 evo to keep alongside as it’s a ‘original Ducati twin’

    Lovely bike, I have to agree. I got my 2008 a couple months ago and don't regret it. Question for you. Are the side fairing '848' decals and nose fairing 'Ducati' letters stuck on top of the clearcoat or under it? Mine are on top, but the lettering on the tank is underneath, which I find to be a strange inconsistency. Others have reported the same on their base 848, but evo and 1098 owners are entirely under the clearcoat.

    I have a 1098, which is basically the same bike. All of the issues you cited are real, known and expected with this type of bike. If you are in decent shape with good core strength that will take some of the pressure off the wrists. With the rather small tank, you will be taking a break every three hours or so/125mi for gas so you get a chance to stretch. Mine is also happier in the higher rev range so I do row the gears quite a bit, which is fine as long as you have a well developed grip on the clutch side. I’m 6’, 175lbs and my only complaint is the overly stiff rear shock spring that makes it almost impossible to set any sag and the lack of decent access to the shock adjuster. I ran the preload spring all the way out and that helped a lot as my back was getting hit with every pavement imperfection. I have almost 39K miles on mine and it’s still a beast!

I’ve got a Ducati 848 and lots of people talk about heat but unless it’s boiling outside it doesn’t really bother me. Have you tried each one yet? I think if you test ride them you’ll then know straight away which is for you. Very different engines and I would argue R1 and S1000RR are slightly more manageable and “friendly” versus V4 you’d struggle in 1st gear anywhere 😂

    I have the same bike but it is only used on track, Things i would recommend is straighten the bars more as they are facing inwards to muchand you will notice straight away, And change the screen to a double bubble screen, If you lower the pegs they will be scrapping on the ground as mine are 1inch higher, With the gearing go one tooth smaller at the front it will also accelerate better to. Tank grippers are good to as you grip the tank with your knees and takes the pressure off your wrists too. Hope these little tips help

      Hi Mark, so would that mean getting new bars altogether? Double bubble screen wouldn't be too difficult to find, and tank grippers I already have and do they help to an extent. I'm half tempted to also get a taller seat as it should mean less bent knees?

    Great review and bike! I have the previous generation (which I think looks more awesome), but this new one - the SP in particular, is very tempting. I can't think of any other street/naked bike I'd want over the MT. To me it seems like you are haveing the bike in the least agressive Power mode (based on the throttle input needing to get it kicking). You should have tried PWR1 also... 😃 (unless I'm mistaken - but everyone that tries this bike should at least have a little visit into that mode...)

    Oh man. You got the wrong bike for you. I have a 1098, so basically the same bike. It is powerful, smooth and comfortable. I can ride it for 3 hours and then after a break, ride for another 2-3 hours. At normal speed of around 100-120 km/h the screen works just right.

      @@britboybike_adventures3813 not mapped but has the Termi half system ecu. 1098 has a reputation for smooth power delivery from relatively low revs and mine is the same. They are often hard to start though. Additionally, they are very hard on engine main bearings so they should never be lugged at low revs. Great bike and bags of power.

      I got a "Corsa" screen for my 1098R. A little higher than even the double bubble IIRC. No issues with wind blast. With earplugs 2-3 hours isn't an issue. But three hours is likely two tanks of fuel so you have to get off frequently anyway.

    As a fellow 848 owner love your videos and got to agree it is a bit of a love hate relationship. I agree with pretty much with everything you say here, luckily for me do not suffer any wrist issues but 100% agree on the peg positioning. Pretty much cramp up every ride over an hour. Have you considered a front sprocket change for the chattering on 1/2 gear? Worked reasonably well for me since I did this and have been able to reduce the amount of time "feathering" the clutch.
