2008 Ducati 848
Hey all, figure id post this now before i change my mind so im selling my street/track 848.
Bought this bike with approx 6,000 miles on it, has 8700 now, will go up slightly before winter. Has some scratches from garage tip overs, and a small crack in the front fairing on the left where the mirror mount is. I will get a good picture of it. This bike wasnt a garage queen (for me). Previous owner dropped it a couple times but had it all repaired from the dealership, i have all his receipts. Brake fluid has been changed, clutch fluid changed, it got an oil change every spring since i purchased (2-3 years ago). Mods are: Lots of CF from previous owner Termi slip ons (possibly full exhaust, im not positive. He had the exhaust ceramic coated as well, there are no o2 sensors.) Gear indicator HID headlights Smoke windscreen Shorty levers Sargent seat White powder coated wheels GB Engine case cover Some samco radiator hoses Rebuilt motor at 8,500 miles - The original motor spun a bearing (as a few members here can couch for, at mid-ohio) I bought a race-ish spec motor from a member of ducati.org who was parting his race bike out. He said the motor had 4 races on it, specs below. •New Upgraded 1098R Crank Roller Bearings •Connecting Rods Checked for Round and New Rod Bearings •ARP Rod Bolts •Case shafts blueprinted to race specs •Thinner Base Gasket for 1.0mm Squish •Heads Decked .010” •Competition Valve Job •Cams Degreed to Race Specs Superstock build on motor by Matt Carr of Ducati Indianapolis (4 race weekends on motor) new belts and valves checked. Only ran motul chaged every race Slipper Clutch (Yoyodyne I believe) He also included a box of some spare parts (radiator, clutch lever, some other smalls) Since i put the motor in i also added the DP Racing full ECU, the Bazzaz TSC which has traction control, 2 fuel maps with switch, and quick shifter. Dyno'd by John at Dyno solutions in CT and he put the same map for both just so you cant switch to a bad map (had to add fuel everywhere). It dyno'd 118whp on 93, and the Previous owner said it was over 130hp with race gas. Ive only put 200 miles on it this season, i was chasing a coolant leak which has been fixed and missed the track season basically. With buying a new house etc i didnt have much time to work on it and honestly after the spun bearing at Mid-O i just want a beater japanese track bike that i can ride hard and put away wet as they say. If i keep riding the bike i will want to keep it though, this new motor is awesome and really comes alive when you stretch its legs. Its not made to put around town and go to work. I have a set of Hot bodies fairings as well for track, and a pit-bull rear stand. Bike saw about 5 track days in the past 2 years, and none since the motor swap. Selling for 6,000, not a penny lower. Price goes up in spring when everyone decides they want a bike after tax time. I have a loan on the bike but if someone buys it i can pay the loan off and get the title, its through a local credit union so thats not an issue.

FWIW i just got a 2010 848 in a straight trade for my 636. I definitely love it over the 636 which I thought was a fantastic bike. And the 636 was full exhaust, PCV, autotune, steering dampener etc.
That being said, if you want to trade the carbon bits for stock bits I'd be happy to help you out |

Ya its definitely a different animal than the 636, but this is just my track bike and im no longer confident in reliability of ducati when being abused. It just isnt making sence that the only bike i owe money on is the one im using a few times a year at track days beating it to all hell (compared to just commuting as usual). Its a great bike, i love it every time i throw my leg over and start it, crank the throttle etc, but a 636 is just a much more fitting bike for my use right now. Come spring im sure ill have no problem selling it, i just figured i would post up now since my mind has been made up.
Plus we want to have a kid and i also want to buy a sports car, so theres that.
