presentation of the 848 Dark 2010
the little sister of the 1098 / 1198, the 848 is a real beauty, with a sporting potential to match. But perhaps its beautiful colors don't appeal to you, and your thing is a dark side and the elegance of shadows. Ducat is offering a Dark version of the little Superbike, an 848 similar in every way to the standard version, but with a matte black finish and a price 750 euros lower. Enough to buy a few sets of tires or a good Öhlins shock absorber. The main thing is that the two-cylinder's fiery spirit and the chassis' efficiency are there for all to see, providing intense, well-deserved riding pleasure.
