light tunning ... assume upwards of 350hp

Unfortunately it's not the european E36M3 rated at over 300hp, but the U.S. version rated at 240hp stock...right now it's probably putting out 260-265hp at the crank...

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Sweet! Like the red lettering on the bottom too. [thumbsup]

u know, i just figured out how to get my cricut to make all kinds of vinyl stickers. i'm thinking to experiment with some of the ducati logos.

lmk if there's a certain one you like and how big to make it, i can probably make it for you. right now i only have white, blue, and purple colors though. lol.

Scoured the internet for Dan Kyle posts and articles on 1198 suspension.  This article on Dan Kyle is worth reading if you've done business with him or thinking about it-  http://www.superbikeplanet.com/dankylestory.htm

Otherwise, I spent my final day off work furniture shopping and took my dog for a run...otherwise a eh day.

i was thinking about one of these to replace the one on my tank just to be a lil different from all the other pearl 848s on this island



it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

Dropped off bike at SSD to install EVR slipper clutch.  Discovered the tank is expanding, pushing against the steering dampner mount and the plastic under the tail section is melting from the heat!  Luckily it will be taken care of under waranty.  Not that it will do anything, but I documented my faulty tank at NHTSA.gov.

Rode the 848 into work today as it's a state holiday, the dog is off with Gloria and it was/is a beautiful morning. Got to do some prep work on it before taking it in for some warranty work. Don'tcha know that the left side drive axle nut is 42mm. I have the 46mm for the right side wheel lock.  [bang]  Bastards!  I say Bastards!   [bang]   [laugh] [laugh]
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.
