As reported in this weeks MCN & here:

http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/ducati-848-by-ducati-glasgow-ar78591.html

"Ducati Glasgow (http://www.ducatiglasgow.co.uk/), a Ducati dealer from the United Kingdom has come up with a tricked out 848 (http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/ducati/2009-ducati-848-ar75986.html) model that shows the unbelievably exotic lines characterizing the 2009 model year. We’re not talking about a limited edition (http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/ducati-848-by-ducati-glasgow-ar78591.html#) series, but about a one-of-a-kind motorcycle ordered by a very demanding customer that was willing to pay the £28,000 price.


The list of goodies includes Ohlins forks from a 1098R (http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/ducati/2009-ducati-1098r-bayliss-limited-edition-ar76025.html), complete with a 25mm TTX fork kit and an Ohlins TTX rear shock, also from a 1098R (http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/ducati/2009-ducati-1098r-bayliss-limited-edition-ar76025.html), but what definitely sets this bike apart from the standard £10,616 Ducati 848 (http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/ducati/2009-ducati-848-ar75986.html) is the Ducati Glasgow paintjob. Is this one sweet ride or what?"

I guess the BST Carbon Fibre Wheels & Trick exhaust were not even worth mentioning ;)

Paint job looks MUCH better than the photo's in the newspaper:

yep the paintjob looks much better on here than in MCN,guess the cheap chinese paper they use cant cope with such a glossy bike,
oh and what a stunning bike it is,how lucky is the owner. every morning when he opens the garage he sees the 848r parked alongside a 1098r bayliss and a sedici

Martin really does a superb job, looks very similar to the 1098/1198 ? he brought to the track day
