I actually might buy one but I dont want to deal with expanding tanks. Hope that is not the case.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

My only worry is that, at £9995, Ducati may have priced itself into the realms of the elite…."
some merit to that comment. |

That was quite a good initial review. Can't wait to try it out. I really liked the original 1098 Streetfighter I rode last year. The reviewer acted like the original was such overkill for the street. I did not feel thar way at all. |

Nor did I. I actually think the larger motor would be more desirable on the street. Well, at least from my perspective anyhow. |

Ditto. Having logged a few rides on the original Streetfighter and some 13,000 plus miles on an 848 I don't see the need for the smaller Streetfighter either. The 848 has plenty of power but you have to work a bit for it whereas the 1098SF feels effortless everywhere.  That said the 848SF will probably sell like hotcakes. |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

I own a 2010 Streetfighter S and have put 7500 miles on it. I have to say after reading that review I'd like to test ride the 848. It's not that much less power and if it's really a smoother ride that would be nice. It takes some work to keep the 1098 Streetfighter from being jerky. |

Justinrhenry, is your Streetfighter stock? The demo I rode had the Termi/ECU package and it was smooth as silk. There was no work involved to keep it smooth. I thought it was much easier to ride around town than my hopped-up Monster. Maybe that was the difference.
