675 vs 848

banoffee · 21-Mar-2009, 16:29

So, just sold my GSXR750K7 and have test ridden both the Trumpet Daytona 675 and Ducati 848. Both are superb. Have negotiated a deal on both.

I know you are biased (me too) but help me decide...

I havent riden the Trumpet, but after the experiance last year at the DSC trackday the 848 just became my best friend.

Just wish I could afford one, maybe next year...

You've ridden them both, so which one do YOU prefer, that's what matters.

However 848 by miles for me..........but then I would say that

CALLING COUCH AND GRIB, COUCH AND GRIBBBBBBBBB!!! These 2 have ridden them both in anger (as they own both) - they'll give you the story.

For me, the 675's the one, but I've not ridden a 848.

For me,the 675 would be the one.A fantastic little bike,.....and thats the problem.I'm a big bloke,and frankly,would look ridiculous aboard the 675.
I wouls have to go for the 848,especially the tasty Xerox Bayliss one.

I'm 6ft1. The 675 felt like a (very quick) 250
