Ducati back to AMA!

I've read that the 848 is very impressive and will give the 600cc a run for their money. The thing that gets me is this 250cc advantage it not fare to the 600's. Wish they could have stuck to the 750cc limit, but the 748s cost way too much to make and race competitively. So with having Ducati lust running in my blood, the 848 makes sense to my light pocket book.

And it comes in white.

And when they make the 848S or R; hopefully one of them will be white with a gold frame and gold rims. I will have to sign up for financial suicide if they build one like that.

You do have good taste (Hayden, Ducati..) except the white. I saw it next to a red one on the showroom and I prefer the red. If you've seen a 1098s in black, it is PURE .... High lights the RED frame just right.

So Nicky on a red Ducati would be the greatest thing to ever happen?



With AMA allowing 1200's for the SBK's, and Ducati entering AMA FX, I think Ducati in AMA SBK could happen in a year or two. Maybe give Haslem a chance to race outside BSBK's.
