optimoprime Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 those Duc's are sexy looking but if it has any extras it should be specialty tools and a manual. cause you WILL be working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
restlessNR Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 are they that big of a prob??^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyen Soljax Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I'm pretty sure the newer Ducs aren't as much of a problem as the Ducs of the early 2000s and before.Plus, theres always DucRX for when it does need worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
restlessNR Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 im just not trying to find something thats gunna break on me..i have a habit of beating my bikes up a bit haha..i did good with the r1 but my 07 r6 was a differ story..so was the gixxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riiight... come back and comment on a topic when you have actual knowledge about it. ThanksI'm pretty sure the newer Ducs aren't as much of a problem as the Ducs of the early 2000s and before.Plus, theres always DucRX for when it does need worked on. Ben speaka da truth. One of the main problems with the older superbikes, like mine, is the rocker arms would loose the chrome on them and this would cause the valve clearance to go out of spec and the rockers needing to be replaced. It only happened if you really rode the piss outta the bike and didnt change fluids regularly. A lot of people are ducati douches and dont ride the bikes hard.... so they are fine. Ive personally had to replace a few rockers from riding the 748 to the max. Oh well, it was worth it The newer bikes, testastretta motor (made its debut in the 2001 996R) do not have the same problems the older bikes do. The testastretta motor is in the 996R is actually a 998 motor and later became the 999... ok now im just talking too much.Basically, the motor design has come a long way. The maintenance is not half of what it use to be, and the 848 is a great freaking bike. VERY fun to ride and super smooth for a twin. Not sure if you are aware, but the 848 has a wet clutch, so you wont have the dry clutch sound or performance. The 848 is the smoothest twin I have ever ridden. Its almost feels like an inline 4, except you have power immediately. Its freaking badass. Ok im leaving now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper_308 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Go for it bro, Ducati’s are awesome! Are you sure you’re going to be happy on a 848 coming from a R1. I would recommend the 1198, most Duc dealers will let you demo one. Crooked River in Akron, let me test ride a 1198 last year. It was a nice bike!
