Ducati reckon its new 848 is much smaller than just a 'small 1098' so MCN road tester Michael Neeves puts it directly against its bigger brother to find out

  • Sorry Briggs, the 09 CBR900 does 161, so unless you have lots of mods, your top speed isn't as fast as a stock 848 out of the box. Current 09 CBR-600 is 98 HP and 49 ft lbs of TQ. Respectable numbers. However, compare that to the 09 848 at 134 hp and 70 ft lbs of TQ.

    As for Ducati being just a name, true, as is Honda. But...look thru the classifieds. CBR-600. CBR-600. CBR-600 ad infinitum. You don't see as many Ducatis out there. 15 years later, I"d rather have the Duck which is why I own one.

  • Son : Dad, is that a Ferrari?

    Dad : Yes son.

    Son : Then why does it have only two tires?

    Dad : Because it's a Ducati.

  • @Reapers261 You are correct Sir. Why have 25 people 'liked' the dood's comment?! Muppets.

  • @sounddood You posted wheel horsepower for the Honda and crank horsepower for the Ducati. The 09 Ducati 848 makes 112 horsepower @ the wheel, not 134. Not even the 848 EVO makes that much @ the wheel. Your Honda numbers are correct.

  • @euricdinkins and we get enough BMW GS models through with drive shaft seals breaking, and K1200S or R with the a very noisy engine because the cam chain tensioners gone! All manufactures and models have there ups and down. Even the mighty honda engines have there problems.

  • Ducati is Bugatti 

  • Ducati is the Ferrari of motorcycles..

    .. but MV Agusta is Bugatti of motorcycles.

  • @bojanglesme I will take a reliable Gixxer over a Duc any day. All Ducati Transmissions eventually break down or the gears stick.

  • well id sleep with both of course... at the same time...

  • @bojanglesme

    ferrari designs them
