Pete84 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Wow!! And, eh, you got it for the economy as well . . . right ? Looks brand new, what method are you going to use to break it in? Go easy on it or get those rings nice and hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONZTER Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well it did cost 11.00 to fill it up today I will follow the owners manual and try to keep it below 5000RPM for 500 miles, and lots of stop and go. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffer949 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I went to school for Duc's They are great machines. Just make sure you take care of your valve adjustments. Every 6k street or 3k race. And on the break in.. Ive seen 2 monsters dyno'ed back to back and they where both purchased at the same time and one was flogged and one was done by the book. both had about the same hp. with in a hp or 2. So i would just drive it normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Let us know how far that gets you. A friend has a 600rr an gets 37-42, so he says. But he does drive like he is being chased by a dragon.

Mikelly Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 About 6 weeks ago we logged 1050 miles in 3 days running from my home over to the Blue Ridge Parkway, then down the parkway all the way to Fields of Dan, across 58 west to Mt. Rodgers, then up and over to Marion Va., where we stayed for two nights while we rode the south western corner of Va, WVa, slipping across the lines of Tennessee, Kentucky and North Carolina. I averaged about 58 miles per gallon, and I'm riding a modified Kawasaki ZRX1100... Only complaint I had was not having a big enough tank... 4 gallons means lots of stops!

MoNkEyT88 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Yeah, the dry clutch is just one thing that sets a Ducati apart. Ohh well. Very nice bike, and Very nice car. I'm jealous. I was actually looking at selling my 06 R1, and purchasing a Ducati, 999R, or something. But, never really wanted to let anyone test ride my bike. A girl I know just gut one of those 848's. It's the first I heard of them at the time. I really like the looks of them. I'll have to ride hers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
