With every Ducati SBK848 sold between now and May 1st, EastsideMotoSports is offering an opportunity for the new owner of the 848 to learn just what the capabilities are of this race-bred, lightweight powerhouse. EastsideMotoSports is offering with each sale of the 848 a riding seminar and track time. The new 848 enjoys all the performance advancements of the entire Superbike family, while adding its own innovations to redefine the middleweight sport bike class. The words ‘agile’ and ‘refined’ aptly describe the 848. At 369 pounds (168 kilograms) the 848 is an amazing 44 pounds (20 kilograms) lighter than its predecessor, and a significant 11 pounds (5 kilograms) lighter than its larger capacity brother, the 1098. The highly advanced 848 engine uses an improved method of engine case production in which cases are vacuum die-cast formed. While providing significant weight savings of more than 6.5 pounds (3 kilograms), this method also ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength. Further refinements include a sophisticated wet clutch that offers 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) less weight, a much higher service life, improved clutch feel and quiet operation. With the first twist of the wrist, the powerful rush of the Testastretta Evoluzione engine confirms that the rules have changed. The 848’s 134 horsepower is not only 30 percent more powerful than its predecessor, but it provides a power-to-weight ratio even better than the potent 999. That being said; the 848 may be a little intimidating to the novice sport rider and have more capabilities then the seasoned rider may be used to. That is why it only makes sense to give the new owner a total experience and nurture their ability to maximize their potential in a controlled on-track environment. For information call 425-882-4300.
