Motorcycle News Senior road tester Michael Neeves has just finished his first session riding Ducati’s new 848 at the Almeria circuit in Spain. As expected, the Ducati 848 has an incredible appetite for corners. Which is just as well, because Almeria is littered with hundreds of them. "The 848 is the 'Kiing of Lean'.

Michael Neeves, 28 September 2007 09:23

New Ducati Scrambler

Michael Neeves, 02 March 2007 11:00
