The new Ducati 848.

Go for the red one.

You mean the same bike everyone else's got? It's great owning a white bike because stuff all people have got them.

Agreed, white bikes are awesome.

Thats because they look.....kind...of....gay

Apart from the Speed/Street triples.

Mind you the Grisso looks OK in white

But $27k for a white motorcycle......

More white ones

250's are mere toys anyways.

Since riding big bikes (silly mates trusting me with thier toys), the 250 to be honest just bores me now. it's a sad day.

Mate, that's a rather weird post.

First you call 250s mere toys. All good and agreed upon - toys are fun!

Then you call big bikes toys as well... good thing they aren't tools...

Yes, it's sad if you're bored on the 250 - perhaps you should shift your riding focus and you'll find something you can still enjoy. I suggest starting out with "The Pace"...

mmmmm DUCATI

I would guess it's to get it out of the whole 'competing with the Japanese' syndrome entirely. I don't think it's meant to rival the GSXR750, because pricing would kill it.

It's a lovely looking bike, but it's still a pricey Italian.

From what I've read that's the case. They've set out to make the best road/trackday bike they can without giving a stuff about WSS rules.

Sounds like they've come up with a winner (supersport handling but with added torque) in much the same way as the gixxer 750 even though it's not made to compete with it.

Would be on my test list if I had a 30k budget.

id have the 848 over the 1098

white bikes do look cool, judt look at the white/blue Buell XB12R, nice.

yeah well once you ride a WSBK ZX10-R that does powerwheelies in 4th at 240.....

it's kind of like ...250 = Yawn

even a stock ZX-10R feels like a 600

WSBK ZX10-R =

SM

You rode an actual World Superbike ZX10-R? Wow, that must've been, um, amazing. What team was the bike from?
