A middleweight Ducati Superbike is not exactly a new concept, so why is there so much buzz about the release of the 2008 Ducati 848 Superbike? At first glance the 848 appears to be a de-tuned and rebadged 1098. In fact, the new bike shares the majority of its basic architecture with 1098 but at the heart is a purpose built L-Twin Evoluzione powerplant that purportedly puts out an impressive 134 hp and 96 lb-ft of torque. To put that into perspective, its 11 hp and 25 lb-ft of torque more than the Testastretta-powered 998. Watch the video and then read the full review at www.motorcycle-usa.com
After riding Bologna's finest in our 2007 Aprilia RSV1000R vs Ducati 1098S comparison , I was dreaming red. Night after tumultuous night, visions of blurred pavement mixed with that oh-so seductive sporting twin thump-thump-thump exhaust bark bellowing from behind was all I could imagine. Those two epic days of blasting around Buttonwillow Raceway exposed the Ducati for the Superbike thoroughbred it is and, alas, Ducati's 1098S is permanently etched into my subconscious. Like any true addict, we keep our ears to the street, so when we heard that Ducati North America had thrown a whole slew of Ducati Performance accessories onto a new 1098S, we just had to have our fix.

Turn 6 at NHIS has steep banking which entices racers to make fast passes on the inside. Unfortunately, as tires lose traction, some riders overstep the limit of adhesion, causing a lowside accident. If they are passing in “the bowl” and you happen to be on the outside of the overtaking sport bike, you will most likely be knocked off the track as well.
