The '''Ducati 848''' is a {{convert|849|cc|cuin|abbr=on|adj=on}} [[L-twin]] [[sport bike]] manufactured by [[Ducati]]. It was announced on November 6, 2007 for the 2008 model year and replaces the [[Ducati 749|749]], although the 848 model name was already listed on the compatible parts table for the [[Ducati 1098|1098]] fuel tank, giving away the secret a few months early. The 848 makes a tested {{Convert|115.6|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} at 10,000&nbsp;[[rpm]] and {{auto ftlbf|62|1}} at 8,250&nbsp;rpm.<ref name=Duke2007>Duke (2007)</ref> With a manufacturer claimed [[dry weight (motorcycle)|dry weight]] of {{convert|168|kg|lb|abbr=on}}, the 848 undercuts its larger displacement sibling, the [[Ducati 1198|1198]], by {{convert|5|kg|lb|abbr=on}}.

The bike is available in Red or Pearl White colors for the 2009 model year,<ref>{{Citation|url=http://www.ducati.com/od/ducatinorthamerica/en/bikes/model.jhtml?model=2390 |title=Ducati |publisher=Ducati |date=2009-03-16 |accessdate=2009-10-17}}</ref> or with a special [[Nicky Hayden]] paint scheme for 2010. The 848 Dark was launched on 2010.

"The guideline that has been widely accepted for automotive subjects
 is that mention of pop-culture references should be strictly 
limited to cases where the fact of that reference influenced the 
sales, design or other tangible aspect of the vehicle. It is not 
sufficient to note that the vehicle had a major influence on its 
owner or some movie or TV show—such facts belong in the article 
about the owner, movie or TV show."

==Changes from predecessor==
The trellis frame of the 848 uses tubes of a larger diameter with thinner walls than the 749, arranged in a simplified pattern, like the 1098.<ref name=Cernicky2007>Cernicky (2007)</ref>
===Engine revision===

===Wet clutch===
Although the 1198 and 848 share many similar components, as per the 916/748 and 999/749 models, the 848 uses a [[wet clutch]] rather than the traditional dry clutch of previous superbikes from Ducati. The manufacturer claims it reduces weight, improves both service life and "feel" of the clutch and reduces noise.<ref>{{Citation|url=http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/my2008/ModelPage.jhtml?family=Superbike&model=SBK848-08|title=Ducati 848 MY08 Specifications|publisher=Ducati.com}}</ref>  Ducati has in the past held to only [[dry clutch]]es in accordance with marketing their bikes as obeying the design imperatives of racing above all, unlike, as Ducati would have it, ordinary street bikes.<ref name=DucatiFAQ>Ducati TechCafe FAQ</ref>  While a dry clutch "rattles like a bucket of rocks,"<ref name=Bond2006>Bond (2006)</ref> Ducati and its adherents felt the clutch's "typical noise is music to bikers' ears."<ref name=DucatiFAQ/>  The 848's wet clutch is a stark departure from this, because, "Ducati made it very clear that there is a new philosophy within the factory to develop each bike with specifications and capabilities that are aligned with the bike's target audience and intended environment."<ref name=Norris2008-2>Norris (2008)</ref>

{{Expand section|date=July 2009}}
The four-[[caliper]] front brakes are cast rather than machined monoblocs,{{Clarify|date=July 2009}} resulting in greater braking effort than on the 1098, in spite of the 848's lighter weight.<ref name=Cernicky2007>Cernicky (2007)</ref>

===1198 series===
The 848 shares more physical and technical design elements with the stronger [[Ducati 1198|1198]] than with its predecessor, the 749, including:{{Clarify|date=July 2009}}
