USA import 848 Hi all been thinking about getting another ducati after being without one for a while since selling my 916 and this cheap 848 usa import has come up. Whats the difference to uk spec and is it worth looking into? |
The main differences are the emmission systems. The US bike will have the evaporative canistor fitted and pipework and a different ECU. It'll still work, but not quite as well as a euro bike. It can be removed and the ECU swapped/reflashed though. Headlight is the same so no need to go swapping that out. You'll need to get the paperwork sorted for UK registration and i'm sure there'll be a cheque going off to HM tax collectors as well. I'd get all that worked out before deciding it's a bargain, just to be safe |
No need to worry about paper work etc it's already in the uk and registered just not sure about it. It is cheap really but does it make it a lemon to sell on if I wanted to etc? Does it being a US import also put people off?? |

They're all made in Italy ... what difference does it make? If the bike is returned back to Euro spec as mentioned by Nelly above, then I can't see it being a problem at all. |
