Watching this while trying to sell off my Yammie R6 09 to buy 848evo.. I don’t know if it’s a good thing to do or not when it comes to the joy of riding 😅
If you don’t have the air filter (high flow) you don’t ‘need’ the race ECU. The stock on is fine since you just changed out the silencers and cat is still in the bike.
Thanks for your review 🙏 It helped me decide. I love the 899 but insurance says 848. Wasn’t a fan of the undertail exhaust heat from my 04 R1 and I wouldn’t be a fan of this via the seat heat or vibrating. Glad you made this review!
Obviously, you are not a Ducati rider, that is what make Ducati soooo unique, that hydraulic dry clutch, my first Ducati, was a 848,916; today I own a 1198S, so much to love a about this iconic motorcycles.❤❤❤❤❤
Obviouslyyyyyyyy 🙄, I just got the bike when I made this video. I currently ride a diavel 1260s. Not sure what qualifies someone as a “Ducati rider” but I’ve been riding ducs since 2017. I’m no professional, but I certainly love riding them and everything about them. Have a good one 👍
thank you! thinking of getting one... im looking at one, 2008, base 848, red very low miles.. i think i can get it for 4000, 4500 max. What do you think?
Timing belt needs to be changed every 7,500 miles??????? Holy hell. Could you imagine if cars were built this crappy? That one sentence alone is enough to keep me from ever owning a Ducati. I've owned other Japanese sport bikes for years and only had to do minor maintenance things to keep them going. Definitely no timing belts. 🤣
The location of your license plate, do the toll camera capturers it? I live in NYC, we have speed camera on every block, which sucks cause speed limit is 25mph, because the dry clutch it feels like I’m better peddling the bike than revving it.
Still have it. Runs like a dream. Have almost 14k miles. Still not the most comfortable bike in the world, but it’s fun as hell in the mountains on central VA.
My first bike was also a cbr 600f3 and I’ll be getting my 2011 848 this week same color as yours I’m excited and can’t wait to take it around some corners
Don’t buy this bike if you live in a city. Really hot in stop and go traffic, can’t do U turns (horn button hits the tank yikes!), mirrors just reflect my arms and shoulders, really bad fueling at low rpms (very choppy and rough), not good at slow sharp corners. But once you go above 130kmh its nice. Fast sweeping corners feels very planted & it looks very sexy.
@@disruptive4291 been a while. I finally moved back to Charlottesville, but I’m no longer riding the amount that I used to. I have a lot more hobbies now and riding has sort of taken a back shelf. Maybe one day I’ll start making them again, but for now I’m enjoying life and don’t feel a need to document it like I used to.
@@kingspencer7 Well if you are having fun! I own an 848 myself, I did watch your videos, and they were pretty good. Tbh you dont have to record everything, sometimes you gotta live the moment and thats it. Riding is a great hobby and recording/editing everything probably ruins it :/
It’s just a lot of power for a first bike. Someone younger or less responsible who’s never experienced something fast before could seriously hurt themselves on a bike like this. That being said, there are people that go out and buy a 1000cc bike as a first bike and are totally fine. But to me, a first bike is like a first car. There’s a good chances you’re going to drop it or crash with it. It happens. So a new rider would be better off getting something cheaper and less powerful. If you’ve never road in your entire life, I’d start with a 250-400cc. But that’s just me. I can’t tell you what to do.
16 hour round trip,,wow i wonder where in mass you live,philly is about 5 hours from mass,if i am not wrong,but you could be on the other side of mass.
Ahhhh, like the man said, it’s an open road bike that doesn’t like sitting in its heat which is typical of city riding. Don’t worry about the dramas of ‘upgrading’ the cooling. Just ride it in the way it was built for. Easy.
I have termi slipon. But do I need a race ECU as well? Did you notice any difference? What does therace ECU do that the stock ECU doesnt do? Regards! I have a 848 evo.
