Ducati Superbike 848
The Ducati 848 is a 849 cc (51.8 cu in) L-twin sport bike manufactured by Ducati. The 2011 Ducati 848 Evo featured new Marelli throttle bodies, revised cylinder heads with straighter intake ports and reshaped combustion chambers. The 848 uses a wet clutch rather than the traditional dry clutch of previous superbikes from Ducati, it will reduce weight, improve both service life and "feel" of the clutch and reduces noise. The 849 cc engine has bore and stroke values of 94 mm and 61.2 mm respectively, which produce a ratio that is only slightly inferior to the 1098 (1.54 compared with 1.61), while maintaining the highly "over-square" layout typical of racing engines. Power output is an impressive 134 hp (98.5 kW) at 10,000 rpm and maximum torque is 9.8 kgm (96 Nm) at 8250 rpm. The power and torque values confirm the high performance level of this engine, especially when compared to its predecessor, the Testastretta-engined 749. The design of a dedicated elliptical throttle body for the 848 demonstrates the attention that Borgo Panigale engineers have devoted to the development of the Superbike range. The cross-section is reduced from the 60 sq. mm of the 1098 to 56 sq. mm so as to optimize fluid dynamics at every engine speed. Just like on the 1098, the new cylinder heads benefit from fewer components and include magnesium covers. It comes in red , pearl-white and black color. It is priced at
