Hello Everyone,

New to the forums. Been riding Japanese sportbikes since 2001 and looking to get a 848 Evo Corse SE. I already had my deposit at the local dealer. I like to do track days. Been to places like Button Willow and Laguna Seca when I lived up in the Bay Area. Did not ride much since moving back to socal and sold my old R6 and ready to get a new Ducati.

Where in SoCal you at? That moniker covers a pretty big area.

I'm in Irvine with an 848 Evo. Let's meet in Julian when you get your 848.

It's my first Duc and I love it! You won't be disappointed. Make sure the dealer sets the suspension for your weight before you ride off the lot.

Nice for you to join the forum and I think you made the right choice in bikes

Still weighing my options.

What does everyone think of an 1198 base model vs the 848 Evo? It seems like I will be able to get a 1198 for roughly the same price. Ideally I would like to get the SP but there is just too much of a price difference right now and hardly any available. The Evo SE which I have a deposit on will have similar features of the 2011 1198 ie traction control and quick shifter.
