2008 Ducati 848 Superbike
Ok, so this blog is about things (hints) I want my family to buy me for Christmas and this entry forms a part of the
bikes I like section of the Motorcycle Gear Store blog. And yes, please, Daddy wants the 2008 Ducati 848 SBK under the tree this year. I promise not to ride it until the Eggnog has worn off. I had the chance to sit on one during the Cycleworld International Motorcycle Show last winter and it is a fine bike. It fits good, suits me too, don't you think? And the handlebars are not too far down or forward, so I'll be comfortable while torturing that fool that lives 2 doors down with the Triumph Daytona 695, which is a beautiful motorbike, don't get me wrong, but I'd just like to see his face. And after all that lawn cutting and roof fixing, doesn't Daddy deserve something nice for the weekend. My resale instinct says Ducati Red, but the Pearl White paint job (pictured) really caught my eye. And just so we don't think Daddy's being selfish, I'll forgo the 1098 and take the smaller 848 to save a few bucks. I'll sacrifice, I don't need quite all that power, what a guy, so confident in his masculinity! Ah, but we dream!
This release of the Ducati 1098 and smaller 848 is part of Ducati's attempt to completely pulverize World Superbike Racing, like it has MotoGP .
MSRP on the 2008 Ducati 848 SBK is $13,495 US and $15,995 Canadian
