I have a 1098 that I use only for trackdays and racing. Its never missed a beat and I've had no problems with it. I've had other inline 4's, ZX10r, K5 and K7 . The Ducati always brings a smile that the other bikes never did. I also lap as quick on it as the other bikes with more bhp.

But if you have never been on one as the above post says get over to a dealer and try them out....prepars for huge grins!!

depends on what kind of rider you are. If you are a lazy roiad rider, low revs high gear type of thing, 1098 probably better as it will grunt from anywhere, where the 848 is more like a smaller IL4 and needs a gear shift or two.

But for sheer ridability and fun, even the journos say so, the 848 is THE bike to have
