Title: Dark 848 Post by: duccarlos on March 04, 2010, 03:58:29 PM I generally love the darks, but the 848 and 1*98 look better in red and white. At least they should have used the red frame.

My S2R Dark had inferion bars, brakes and no seat cowl compared to the standard S2R
Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: duccarlos on March 04, 2010, 04:20:29 PM It's the base 848.

My S2R Dark had inferion bars, brakes and no seat cowl compared to the standard S2R There is usually still a clear coat, its just an Eggshell clear as opposed to a full gloss clear.Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: duccarlos on March 05, 2010, 05:21:14 AM Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: Monster Dave on March 05, 2010, 05:37:32 AM Has anyone actually seen one yet?

Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: Uncle Mofo on March 05, 2010, 12:21:07 PM everyday That's hawt and yes if I had the $$ I would ;)Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: Grampa on March 05, 2010, 01:06:31 PM That's hawt and yes if I had the $$ I would ;) go shake down some drug dealer [laugh] Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: Uncle Mofo on March 05, 2010, 01:31:16 PM go shake down some drug dealer [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: ducpainter on March 06, 2010, 03:25:59 AM There is usually still a clear coat, its just an Eggshell clear as opposed to a full gloss clear. Not on the Monster Darks, and I doubt on the 848.They are a single stage system. Also they skip a step in prep because the low gloss paint doesn't show the normal irregularities of manufacture. Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: Raux on March 06, 2010, 04:01:26 AM me likey.. I generally don't like darks but this one is hawt ok waiting for the first person to get one of these and really make it dark. darken the rearsets (removing the pillion set), windscreen, forks, triples, exhausts and swingarm.(http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/wp-content/gallery/2010-ducati-848-dark/2010-ducati-848-dark-2.jpg) Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: IZ on March 06, 2010, 05:28:46 PM ok waiting for the first person to get one of these and really make it dark. darken the rearsets (removing the pillion set), windscreen, forks, triples, exhausts and swingarm. Have a couple of them at Ducati Scottsdale. One already has the black swingarm on it. That bike is beautiful but the one that REALLY caught my eye was the 1198S that a woman just traded her Bayliss in for. Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: duccarlos on March 07, 2010, 04:21:27 AM 1198S black with red frame [thumbsup]

Yep, if only I had the $. This bike is my ultimate dream bike. I would darken every possible part for sure. Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: IZ on March 07, 2010, 02:48:21 PM 1198S black with red frame [thumbsup] Oops..I meant the woman was trading her Bayliss in for this!! (http://ducatimonster.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/ducati-1198r-corse-special-edition-4.jpg) How BEAUTIFUL is this in person!! :o Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: duccarlos on March 08, 2010, 06:13:09 AM 1198R is sick, but it's no road bike.
Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: MadDuck on March 08, 2010, 06:24:04 AM 1198R is sick, but it's no road bike. I could be happy with one on the road and even though there would lots of times that both of us would be totally miserable I'd still be happy. If worse came to worse I'd just knock back some beers and look at it in the garage. Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: DucatiBastard on March 08, 2010, 05:54:26 PM I respect the 1198R but think it's too busy visually. Too badge happy, ya know? I wouldn't kick one out of bed, but a simpler color scheme would do wonders. To tell the truth, when i first saw the bike I was surprised that Ducati went with something so..."look-at-me" The Bayliss Edition, too. But I am a guy who prefers subtlety :-\
Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: IZ on March 09, 2010, 03:15:20 AM No different than any other superbike on the track. Looks a hell of a lot better than the Hayden edition
Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: CapnCrunch on March 09, 2010, 04:39:18 AM ok waiting for the first person to get one of these and really make it dark. darken the rearsets (removing the pillion set), windscreen, forks, triples, exhausts and swingarm. the fork sliders are black nitrided Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: lwszabo on March 09, 2010, 05:49:54 AM 848 dark= hottest bike in the Ducati lineup! [bow_down]
Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: DucatiTorrey on March 09, 2010, 06:58:02 AM I saw one in Daytona, at the Ducati / BMW dealer. Not sure I like it. And is there a clear coat? My dark 696 sure doesn't seem so. Nothing over the Ducati stickers.
Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: derby on March 09, 2010, 07:46:09 AM the fork sliders are black nitrided DLC, not nitride.

Nothing over the Ducati stickers. no clear coat.Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: arai_speed on March 09, 2010, 08:51:37 AM How does the 848 compare to a 998 Testatretta engine (i.e. S4RS) as far as power? I've always like the bike and would be up to change my current one for one - I guess a test ride is in store for me. :)
Title: Re: Dark 848 Post by: cyrus buelton on March 09, 2010, 08:52:05 AM Mario - I think all S2R's had the same brakes regardless of color, or am I wrong here?
I've seen plenty of S2r's around here that have the lower end front brakes. I am going all out dark on my S4r. of course with a splash of color in there. Waiting on the new motor now, then paint. |
