They specifically stated stock form. The 848 evo definitely needs new suspension/shock. That thing is super stuff even with it dialed all the way down. Proper suspension fitted to your specs makes HUGE difference with this bike.
One of these things I strongly agree with; it's a challenge to get it in the right gear cornering sometimes, especially compared to the S1000RR which is much more forgiving. It's a challenge to ride no doubt with tall gearing. However, it feels light, incredibly light, so I strongly disagree with them saying it feels heavy. It also is in no way top heavy. (I couldn't believe I was hearing that.) It's brakes are fantastic, it sounds great, and it's the best looking bike of the middleweights.
Ya bro can't believe they said it felt heavy, im actually having trouble with mines cause if i just peek at the corner it's already leaning towards it, that bike leans fast and come out the corner strong.
I think this test was centred around a certain bike and its direction more towards street use and then each bike rated after was less street orientated. I'd like to see a professional rider timed on these bikes.
why does she spend her whole review talking about how the bike is too big for effective riding? she's the size of a 7th grader; the size argument is irrelevant to the masses--they are not 5-3 105 lbs!
I agree. I think she thinks all bikes have to be fluffy and cuddly to ride this bike, so for a proper no holes bared sports bike. and not for fluffy bunny rides.
couldnt agree more haha a 848 was my first bike some years ago, and was really hard to ride, but when you get used to it, is amazing, confortable, hot, and problematic, but it make you feel special
The bike doesn't handle well? bullcrap, ducati's are known for their agile handling. Japanese bikes ride oke but are way more sluggish. I ride my track 848 on track in competitions and japanese bikes can't steer as precise, I notice it every race in a head to head dog fight. My guess is these guys aren't used too riding a ducati/v-twin.
yeh i agree with jaydawgy88 i own thisd bike had it nearly 3 years its a brilliant bike you need to be able to ride a bike if u cant ride get a honda and fall asleep mmm set up issue ?when u buy a bike you get it set up to your requirements wtf are they stupid u got to ride this bike like u stole it if u dont like fast riding dont buy one
Unfortunately, the Duc needs more chassis tunning but once that is achieved (with a competent pilot) she can dance! For most pilots / commenters- that may not even ride. The limitations described here would be unknown.
I don't know what this test is about.... "out of the box riding?" I call, you guys are just used to japanese bikes, and got thrown off by the different approach from Ducati .... but the racer who "could't" get the bike on the Edge of the Tyre ?! I call Bullsh*t ! ,even I on the street could get that thing on the side way easier than my Suzuki Bandit 600 ... way easier
Stink bug is good. Conducive to conering. But Ducati is just plain uncomfortable. Ridden the 1198. Own the Daytona. It's the seat shape that makes all the difference, not the actual height of the vers low handlebars.
I call bullshit on this test, a lot of the points they said directly contradicts the set up of the motorcycle, and hence how it would behave. :l I wonder if they realize the people who watch these reviews actually ride motorbikes too.
Seriously what a waste,for such a good looking bike you could easily be forgiven for believing the esthetics match the performance and handling. Prestige and name brand does not sell anymore
Being to small is not a fair criticism to make whether it's a male or female making it.
I have mine set up pretty well then. my 848 Evo is an absolute dream in the corners
Same Erik. Rock solid.

Yes, set up right. It's a track dream!

That was exactly my take. Heavy? Lol No. The only other bike I've ridden which feels lighter is the BMW.
Michael Thomas the fact that they called a middleweight bike heavy 🤦🏻♂️
It all comes down to the rider nuff said.
Coming off a 2001 Zx7r, this bike handles like a dream. Dad has an Fz10 and I had no troubles sticking on his 6 in the twisties.
Holy crap, it's Jen from RevZilla! 😂
Also why are they going to slow with the triumph everyone knows that things a god at the track

If you look at there track times they are all over the map ,pretty hard to judge the bikes .
A professional rider?? Are you serious? You just saw a multi time ama champion in pridmore and a daytona 200 and multi race winner in zempke
LMAO, this sounds like a series where the riders just hate the bikes they ride.
The first time i have been on this channel, not a good impression.
Does it have abs brakes
Hey is there going to be a street shootout of all these motorcycles?
Is there actually a bike that the girl likes? Everything she says about every bike is negative and whiney...
why does she spend her whole review talking about how the bike is too big for effective riding? she's the size of a 7th grader; the size argument is irrelevant to the masses--they are not 5-3 105 lbs!

I'm 6' 200 pounds. Perfect size for this bike. Have no trouble at all flying through canyon country
I find the 848 incredibly easy to ride, these comments are pretty lame and amateur.
Ever heard for WSBK
My R6's handling is challenging... in a fun way. My Ducati's handling is challenging... in a difficult way.

I think the disvels nice, just my opinion tho.
Jason Pridmore is a professional rider.
Unfortunately, the Duc needs more chassis tunning but once that is achieved (with a competent pilot) she can dance!

All I hear is wah wah wah for a bike that is more agile than an r1 and faster than an r6
Ouch. Last place.

What a load of rubbish! What were you testing it against? This bike set up right is a track day dream!
I have never seen a Ducati win a comparison test... Ever.

My experience was exactly the opposite comfort wise. One of the reasons I bought my 848 was because of how comfortable it was.
I call bullshit on this test, a lot of the points they said directly contradicts the set up of the motorcycle, and hence how it would behave. :l I wonder if they realize the people who watch these reviews actually ride motorbikes too.
Did you get paid to tell us bullshit? Seriously is this bike heavy and uncomfortable ? OMG
This Ducati isn't insanely expensive.
Diavel sorry
I am actually an industrial designer specialising in automotive design and eng. But i don,t suppose that will mean a lot to an angry insolent child.
The bike is good defense who ride it how u ride it too much negative wow
Used to be, not anymore. I could afford one and I'm FAR from rich.
Was this scripted? All that had voice lines seemed scripted.
Waheed = Simoncelli
Italian bikes. BMWs and KTMs are known for being comfortable and easy to ride.
Did you get paid in order to trash this bike.
One of the worst review.
it's a rich men's bike not a weekend warrior's
bull...
Drivel...
Seriously what a waste,for such a good looking bike you could easily be forgiven for believing the esthetics match the performance and handling.
Prestige and name brand does not sell anymore
Ducati's are way overpriced! They focus too much on styling and not so much on usability and ease of use. Also, too high...
