The Ducati 848 was a sports bike dressed in a full fairing, powered by an 848cc L-twin liquid-cooled engine. The bike was designed by Giandrea Fabbro and manufactured from 2008, when it replaced the 749 models, until 2013, when it was replaced by the Ducato 899.
The bike was in its sixth and final year of production alongside the Ducati 848 EVO Corse SE, sold as a premium version. The 2013 machine was similar to its predecessors, packing the same visual and performance specifications.
In the visual department, the 2013 Ducati 848 EVO was equipped with standard features, such as a small windscreen, a full fairing with a dual headlight system, a two-piece dual seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and Y-shaped 10-spoke Marchesini lightweight wheels.
As for suspension, the bike's tubular steel Trellis frame was fitted with a 43 mm fully adjustable USD Showa fork on the front and a fully adjustable Ohlins shock absorber with progressive linkage on the rear, offering excellent handling.
As for the power figures, the 2013 Ducati 848 EVO had its soul brought to life by an 848cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine, managed by a fuel injection system, boasting 140 hp at 10,500 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 9,750 rpm.
In the braking department, the wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs paired with four-piston calipers on the front and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
