The Ducati 848 debuted in 2008, replacing the controversial 749 and bringing the stunning design of the 1098 to the middleweight class. It featured Ducati's all-new 849cc Testastretta Evoluzione engine, which produced 134 hp, making it a serious performer. Key Ducati elements like the steel trellis frame, single-sided swingarm, and under-seat exhausts defined its aggressive look.
Collectors are drawn to the 848 for its timeless design and thrilling V-twin character in a package that's less intimidating than its 1098/1198 siblings. The updated 848 EVO, introduced for 2011, is particularly desirable for its upgraded Brembo Monobloc brakes, steering damper, and a power bump to 140 hp. Special editions, such as the Dark Stealth and the Corse SE, are rare and command a premium.
Buying Tips
- Demand detailed service records, especially for the timing belt changes (every 2 years) and Desmo valve adjustments.
- Check the plastic fuel tank for signs of swelling or distortion, a common issue caused by ethanol in modern fuel.
- Inspect the electrical system carefully; regulator/rectifier failures are a known weakness and can damage other components.
- Look for signs of track use, such as drilled fairings for safety wire, aftermarket rearsets, and excessive wear on peg sliders.
- Verify the horizontal cylinder base gasket for oil leaks, which can be a costly repair.
