I think somebody in Ducati was listening.  848 SF FTW!

If by some miracle I get to buy a new bike (ever) it'll be the 848 Streetfighter 

[Raux]

wow

2012 looks like a big year for Ducati.

wonder if that means they may look at an 848 MTS or Diavel?

[iRam]

Interesting!

[toudg]

Awesome bikes but too high for me.  Waiting for (might wait forever) for this upgrade on a monster  .

[gOoIe B]

YES!  been wanting to make an SF848 my 2nd bike ever since the SF debuted!  Oh yes...

2011 848 EVO MSRP - 13k

2011 SF (1098) MSRP - 15k

Are they going to get that detuned 848SF down to 11k MSRP? Or are they going to be jacking up the prices of all the bikes across the board with the new SBKs at the top end and street fighters still coming in at the $14-15k range?

I think the spectacular 848 sales have been largely due to the fact that it was priced similarly to the 750GSXR and the 675.

I think if I had to spend even $13k to get a detuned 848 motor that the 675 would start looking a hole lot more appealing.

I was just talking with the parts guy at my dealership and we both agree that an 848 MTS should be the next move. With the drop in displacment, the price would drop and be in the right range for many. Either way, the MTS is going to be my next bike, I just wish I could spring for the Pikes edition

+1

I remember that thread too.

And I'll be looking to have this bike in the future.

Never gonna happen. As long as the Streetfighter is in the lineup, Ducati will never build a water-cooled Monster.

The 1198 is using the 11 degree motor from the MTS, so  yes.   

[take risks]

I want the 848 big time!

That is awesome.
