    New Bike

    Just put a deposit down for an 848 Evo Corse. Getting it in April. Had a go on the Frasers demo 848 today and just couldn't resist it.

    Don't really have anyone else to tell...

    Cheers guys!
    Got some Termi slip-ins too. They had some new old-style 1098 ones going for $1000 which I nearly got, but they persuaded me that after I'd got them fitted a PC or something and got them fitted I'd have been better off just buying some proper new ones. I was going to get Arrows but I've got these now. They're fitting them free FWIW...

    The Corse is 23k. As far as I can tell the upgrade from the standard is traction control, quickshifter, bigger front brake discs, Ohlins rear shock and different paint.

    To be honest getting the SE didn't really make sense, but it was just what I wanted. The Termis didn't really make sense either, but having spent 23k already I thought what the hell, I'm selling my house so will have some cash to spare and there's worse things I could spend it on.

    Be interesting to see what happens with pricing on 848's, if Ducati move forward with this whole 700 baby Panigale thing that they are talking about...!

    I thought about this but older Dukes' prices especially specials have generally held up well. If you always waited for the next thing you would never buy anything, esp Ducatis.

    It's not really a sound financial decision anyway whatever way you look at it. Also the Panigale might turn out to be rubbish...

    The 799 will have less power than the 848 too.
