Morning!

My bike insurance is gonna be like $20 a month. I love this shit

 

The ARB removes the core ,but it's contained and just screws back in easily.

 

Last night i was at Wagner Motorsports in Worcester scoping out my next big purchase. Talking with sales and seeing how much I'll be paying a month for the bike, basically out the door register and insured. Insurance for full coverage will come out around $880 for the year, and the total out the door cost I'll keep to myself but with the Ducati Maintenance Plan which covers the first 10 maintenance intervals add $1200. The bike I'm interested in is 2013 Ducati 848 EVO

Love those Italian machines

 

Me too and out the door it's really not that bad. I dont need or want a liter bike but every 600 or 750 i sit on it's just not my cup of tea. I fit like a glove on the 848 Evo and the 848 street fighter.

 

Have you rode a 848 before ?

 

Yes but do to their policy I wasn't allowed to leave their road. It felt great the only thing I would change would be 1'' lower bars for being tall my arms felt to clogged up. Also the rear sets would need to be pushed back

 

John what did you have?

 

That looks sick!

I might derp my fairing orange lol. Half the bike isn't painted

 

How did you fit? I feel that my legs are too congested and hate the slope of the bars on all jap bikes, That things looks mint

 

That looks sick!

I might derp my fairing orange lol. Half the bike isn't painted

 

my buddy dipped his bike and he regretted it after a week and peeled it off. The way his pants just gripped the fairings and jacket on the tank wasn't for him.

 

It was tough . I really don't fit on any bikes . Just to dam tall. I sold it because it wasn't comfortable . That 848 is a fun bike to ride but I think you will find that it's not comfortable on long rides . But if you get into going to the track it's a beast .

 

Passed an orange FJ with black racing stripes the other day, made me think of you.

 

Have you ridden the 848? the same goes for many sports, they just wear on you after so many miles. I would like to try track days but would be an absolute beginner.

 

Must be nice to have money huh?

 

Yup . Friend had one . They have beginner classes up in nh . You can rent a suit and do a track day . Just need to safety wire everything and tape up your lights . Take a class in the classroom and hit the track in the afternoon .

 

Just looked it up, It doesn't seem that bad to start a new hobby. Little different than riding motard now but the same riding techniques could be used.
