I'm assuming you mean this one VVV

[Davey]

Ah man, now I want an 848. Wonder when they'll land in Oz?

[Desmo]

Seriously considering the 848.
They have to make an R don't they? For WSS?
I'm getting kinda bored of the R1 to be honest, Think I'll wait a bit before making the decision, but damn that White 848 is unreal.

[kwakas]

desmo, I'm with you on this one. that white 848 is THE BEST looking bike out. hands down.

[Desmo]

Anyone know pricing on the 848?

[Nath]

Found on some other forum..

it is only available in biposto,
there is no S or R for 2008 just the base model,
it will cost $12,900 in USA ($22,500 AUD and 13,500 Euro in Europe
It will weigh 3kg less than the 1098
It will have 137 PS and 95NM
It will have a wet clutch and dealers will get them in December 07 with delivery not before Jan 2008.
It will be available in white with a red or black frame.

[kwakas]

[Desmo]

Wet clutch Ducati?
No thanks.

[Nath]

What a complete and utter let down.
To me a Ducati is about more than just the bike, and the way it rides, it's about how it feels and sounds, and the emotion it invokes.
You CANNOT own a Ducati without Termis and an open clutch cover.

[Desmo]

I did.
I don't now.

[Scoundrel]

Its a pearl white, with grey frame and engine paintouts. They also show a red one there, with a red frame and white lettering
