I dont have any money...can someone buy me a ducati???

[160plus]

does it matter? It's not like you can push any of them to their limit. Just pick a damn color.

[lloydc199207]

yes it is a matter of classification. an 848 is middleweight riding when a 1098 and 1198 are in the heavy weight sector. a higher engine capacity = more demand form the driver including senses and physical ability. if your just a street rider out for a bit of fun and a bit of head turning then if your bank balance can stretch go for the 1098. but personally i would just go for the streetfighter ducati.

That is like asking which one is better between a yamaha R1 and the R6. They are in a dif classes. I say dep on your riding skill and your wallet.

[reggyrhesa]

Which one best 848 or 1098?

Are you asking if this bike is good for all year round or you need a suggestion for a bike? BTW a cover will keep some but not all of the weather off the bike. A few years under a cover the bike will still rust. I kept my quad outside for the winter under a cover and it rusted in some areas.

get one of them little metal shed things from the b&q they are perfect size for a bike

[abeismain]

I need a suggestion,I want to get a bike but, i don't have a garage to put it in, will be it fine throughout the season in New Jersey? Where can i keep a bike? just against the wall of my house with a cover?

My S2R1000 Monster had a dry clutch. I traded in for an 848 with a wet clutch. I prefer the wet.
