If you were buying an 848? would it be red or white? - Page 3

Buy whatever colour you like its your money, however in the long run I red will have the better resale value as its Ducati's 'colour'.

.........and red's faster

Rang two dealers today in differing parts of the country, who both offered me £850.00 more than Ducati Wolverhampton for my part ex????????????????????

Thanks for all your advice.

Cheers Mill.

Red Dog at Potters Bar had a black one, red frame. Was done for a competition they ran.

Looked better than the red and white, if you like the shape.

WHITE!

There is a beautiful one down Upminster High street outside the tattoo parlour, it looks beautiful when the sun is shining and the birds are singing

If you check out Mrs848's details, i think you will find thats her white 848, and you will find her in the tattooist with a needle gun in her hand !

Quite right Bekki - but what about when it's wet, grey and miserable like this summer?

Hope all goes well. Didn't fancy 'having a go' with your other hand then?

its a two hand job really! although its my left hand its the one i need to pull the skin tight and hold arms and legs still. even though i'm right handed the left does all the hard work. and i need to change gear! sob sob i dont think insurance would pay if i crashed with my hand already in a cast!

Ouch!!! Still sounds really painful!! Hope Mr848 is looking after you?

Going back to colours: Would love to see an 848 in Black like a Senna, seen both red and white and they both look cool, not sure about the yellow on this thread though. Personal preference for red, but then like ladies with red hair as well!! (Like Springsteen?)

Bud

ps Should pick up my 999 next week. Yipeee!!

As the BS says "You need a red headed woman to get a dirty job done"

Re Avatar picture, my son sent me the one of me! It's a scarily accurate likeness!

Hope you're back on the bike soon! At least you can look out the window most days and know it would have been too wet to go out!
