- This one is special - literally my dream bike. The one and only, the infamous Ducati Streetfighter 848. Always wanted one - so when my buddy Mike gave me the opportunity to give it a spin I had to jump on it. What a machine, from the very first pull and first noise heard I was even more in love than before. I got the chance to ride it for a few days so this is the first of a handfull of vlogs that I recorded on the SF. I loved it. I will 100% own one, not sure if as my next bike or just in the future, but it will be mine. 2012 in white with black frame. As always thank you all for watching and commenting, I hope the new year celebrations was fun - and if you read this far tell me what YOUR dream bike is and have you ever got a chance to ride one?
Do YOU live in NYC and have a neat bike that I can ride for one of these Riding Bikes vids? Let me know.

Had my Streetfighter since 2016… it will keep up with anything.. the handling is superb, love the overrun when it pops and bangs …love it !! Oh yeah I am 66 ..
I had a chance to buy a new one and I blew it. What a bike. I'll have one one day. Would love a white one with black frame :)
Got my 848SF 6 days ago and am totally in love. Very happy I didn’t get a 1098. My last bike was a 959 but I rather this and not even sure why.
You are a lucky lucky man. Lovely bikes these are.
SF's are one of the best Ducati Designs it's possible to buy, awesome machine.
I agree, the frame, the proportions, the whole design is just strong and mean yet beautiful.
Keep up the great videos. Very inspirational that you ride in the winter.
Thank you brother! Just gotta layer up.
the way you described the feeling of riding your dream bike is real accurate. i feel that way on my bike lol, but my bike was cheap enough where i'm not worried about parking it anywhere.
You should get one of these dude!
Yea, same with my bike now, its a work horse - i already have one of those - its my new bike I'm worried about :)
I had already been obsessed with this bike since it came out and finally got one earlier this year, but bro your videos held me over until I could buy mine. I still enjoy watching them even months after I first got it.
I too feel like a super cool guy on my SF848 😎
The bike makes you feel like THE COOLEST person on the road, easily. I still want one.
Just baught my 2014 848 yesterday i couldn’t be more exited ! Now im a super cool dude lol 😉 ty for the vlog
Oh man. I bet. CONGRATS!!!!! You ARE a super cool dude now.
Awesome vid man thanks for all the info
You are most welcome!
I have exactly the same bike. Full termi exhaust.
Damn I love this bike soooooo much.
Only low light is no ABS and quite high petrol consuming.
Out of that… it’s a freaking beast, sounds incredible and much much much better look than the new models.
Epic bike - I'll def have one one day - is it MUCH MUCH better looking than the new models - thats personal opinion - but it sure is dope.
Man, I love this bike too, it is envocade and aggressive, that certanelly stay on my list of bikes dream. :)
For sure. I want it and i need it and i will have it one day. What a machine!
One thing I can tell, You love this bike & you probably will get it !!!
Thats a fact. I LOVED IT.
Definitely this one over the 821.the frame on the 848 is beautiful. Shame that the new monster has no trellis frame😞
I don't mind the lack of frame on the new Monster but god damn, you're correct - SF has one of the most beautiful trellis frames ever
Oh, totally. The 916, 848/1098 and streetfighters are just pure Ducati orgasm material in my opinion. Definitely preferrable over the 821.
@@MrShadowCZ but 821 got that crispy hd dash 🥺
Yeah the new monster looks more like a MT-07 or something, just look at the white 821 from 2015 with red wheels and matching red trellis frame, looks much better than the new monster 950, no competition :)
I bought my SF848 new in 2012. It’s 1 of 2 bikes in my garage I will never sell. The other is a Monster S4RS. I love my SF848. Nice review... All the best to you.
Wow. Lucky man. I can only imagine what it must have been like when it was new on the scene and fresh - like a damn spaceship. Nice lineup. Man sometimes I wish I was not in NYC and space was not an issue. I would have this just sitting there in a heartbeat. Still might.
What a bike!!!
Literally breathtaking.
Lmfao man how funny is this. I already watch most of your video's. I drove a 620 for 3 years and sold it one year ago, now I am getting a 848 within these 2 months, looks like some one got the same taste. I am thinking of filming in the Netherlands when I get my 848.
Great minds think alike :) I'm kind of leaning towards a 821 now though.
That's a superhero bike. Balls to the wall but a supreme machine.
Exactly. I want it so bad but not sure how good it would be as a daily.
I have no doubt!! This will be your next bike, just have to find a deal on the right one!!
It was love at first brap. What a machine.
this is a beast of a machine man, the thing just wants to go clearly!
Madness. Could stay in 1st and 2nd gear all day in NYC and go however fast your want. Damn does it move.
@@ducatinyc 1st tops out at 65 mph and 2nd at 98 mph. Full throttle in 2nd the speedometer will jump from 72 mph to 98 mph. You never see 80's. It's freaking fast. The sound the bike makes at full throttle gathers a lot of attention and with the quick shifter sounds like it's ushering in the day of the Lord! No ABS and it does have Ducati's traction control. The SF definitely sits higher than a monster and you are correct, it pitches the rider forward which puts more weight on the wrists. I have become accustomed to this with mine. Because it is a taller bike with more surface area on the sides I find mine catches cross winds more than my Monster did. Mine has been nothing but reliable though I did remove the evaporative emissions canister, and as far as ascetics in my opinion this generation of SF is Ducati's most appealing design, ever. I know 916-996 guys would have me hung for saying that, but they would have to catch me and the SF has more ponies and torque. The Testastretta makes this bike look like an engine with wheels and it easily attracts gawkers.
@@jetninjamonkey well said - all the things you listed is why i'm kind of shying away from SF back towards the 821. I'm worried it will have too much power for any sort of calm riding and touring but damn does it look and sound good.
@@ducatinyc At least wait until you can ride the 2021 Monster. That thing is beautiful.
@@jetninjamonkey 100% - will ride one first chance i get
My favorite bike, but so more beautiful in red
No way! White w black frame is the best color way for this model :)
@@ducatinyc true that!
Yellow-black kicks ass too.
Cool to see someone on the other side of the ocean enjoying the same Italian Stallion as I have! I mean really the same bike ... SF 848, black with termignoni. I live in the Netherlands, but I'm stuck in Rome, Italy for the moment, so the last time I took it for a spin was last Summer, and I really miss it.
If you have the chance, try it next time on the highway, because honestly, you've only experienced a glimpse of its character. The nice thing about the SF 848 is that it has a lot of power in the basement (not sure if this is English but I think you understand what I mean) so it runs smoothly around town but you can easily give it 4000 RPM extra per gear.
Thanks for the upload and have fun!
Yea man you picked a good machine! I did get a bit of the highway and I wish it was not so cold right now and I could take it out of town to real twisty roads where I bet this bike really shines and sings. It def has plenty of power in the basement and I know I shifted it early every time. How is the bike for touring? Comfy? How many miles do you get per gas tank?
The streetfighter is a beauty man! Thinking about getting the exact one if I do upgrade 💥
That is one hell of a machine. What a ride, what a sound.
Yooo!!!! I GOT MY LICENCE!
*new rider has joined*
HELL TO THE YES! congrats!!!
@@ducatinyc thanks!!! Will be getting my 50cc next month...whoop whoop
Buy this one over the 821. Such a beautiful machine! The Termignoni are gold. 😍
You think so? 821 is pretty sweet thought but this has more theater.
@@ducatinyc Yep. This is more unique and different compared with your bike; I see the 821 more like a "replacement" for the 620. However I think you will be happy with any bike you choose. Ducatis are a way of life. Ciao from Italy!
Was between this and the hyper 939, went with the hyper bcuz of the turning radius for NYC works much better. Still one of the most beautiful bikes made
Ooooh that would be a tough choice indeed. Can't go wrong with either one. I think I would go with the SF tho in that situation.
Great bike glad you got to ride it. I owned one and of it wasn’t for crash still would. They have traction control but no ABS, Abs prob would’ve saved my ass.
Damn, I've never had a bike with ABS so I don't have a gauge to judge that. Shame about the crash. Glad you're ok though. I'm seriously considering one of these.
I still vote for the 821. My 821 Stealth with Termis is a thing of beauty, and I’ve owned a ton of Italian machinery in my time. The power band on the 821 is perfect.
Yea its a tough decision between the two to be honest. Why do you say 821 over this?
@@ducatinyc For the type of riding you are doing, the 821 seems like a much better fit. It's likely why you've bonded so well with your current bike. For one, you even briefly mentioned the riding position of the SF. The 821 will be much more comfortable over long periods of time. Also, the power band of the 821 is much more linear and enjoyable for the lane splitting and other types of riding you do. 3rd, every bike you review you always compare back to the 821. You already know in your heart that is the right bike. I've learned the hard lesson after many years of riding that buying the fastest, latest bike isn't where it's at. Buying what stirs your soul is what matters. Trust me, I love speed. But for street riding an 821 has enough in spades.
Love the channel, not a Ducati fan but a nice bike is a nice bike and Ducati builds some nice ones , and 130 hp on a bike is very respectable, would love to see you review a 200hp vmax , keep doing what you do , have a great ride .
I would love to review a Vmax - hopefully one day! Thank you for the love - and yea, 130hp is not a joke.
oh yes, I Have this one! but yellow ;)
Ur a lucky, lucky, lucky man
Nice bike bro!. Your right re 1098 there's no get outa jail free card. No Mr Bosch looking after you. Go easy with that right hand especially when your cranked way over. Forget the Monster get an 848. Stay safe
The 848 had quite a few beans in it, got me worried it might be too fast for my riding style as I do like to gun it. Even got speed wobbles. Tough decisions - and def NO to a 1098. That's brutal.
Termis growl like nothing else :)
Yea man and all the pops and bangs on dowshifts too. EPIC.
cool! loving life
Life is but a dream.
It is 2024 now… I hold to my sf848 and it’s going nowhere. I love this bike! I did a back to bike with the new v2 and I prefer the 848.
SF848 better be your forever bike. I still want one very much.
I say diversify, you already have a Monster. A little velocity generated air pressure should take care of the wrist issue.
Nice '67 Cougar that yielded to the cooler ride.
Hehe yea that Cougar was dope and you might be right. Might be time to change it up from a Monster, Im just concerned how much faster it is.
I recently looked at specs, the Ducati Street Fighter 1098 weighs as much as this 848 but has 155 horsepower and 120 nm torque instead of 848s 130 hps and 95 nm torque, the 1098 seems to be crazy fast, and no ABS lol , I would not want to ride that bike without ABS in today's traffic :D
So there is no ABS and even though you can get these bikes very cheap nowadays, the service costs on them, like the valve adjustment service (the big service) is a lot more money than any other bike brand so keep that it mind, Ducati's Desmoservices are no joke, you need to be prepared for those, more than double the price of a big japanese valve service at least in Sweden where I am at.
Otherwise I would love to buy a Streetfighter 1098 I see them used with low milage for around 9000$ here.
Hehe I mean, I been riding Ducatis for about 13 years now - I know all about Desmo services (worth every penny) - same here in the USA, its easily double the price. 1098 is one BRUTAL bike, 848 is more my speed. I rode with no ABS in NYC traffic for over a decade so its doable.
@@ducatinyc Yeah wow you know exactly what I am talking about then. Yeah I am 38 years old so I also grew up with no abs or slip clutch.
But I am very accustomed to ABS and safety features like that now so I would worry if I had to panic brake now after I have ridden ABS bikes for the last 12 years that I would lock it up and have a bad day :P
Ducati has really come a long way since after the 2010 with their reliability. So now the only thing that stands between me and owning a Duc is the expensive services. My next bike will be a Kawasaki Z1000 though,
I love the look of that bike and they are also cheap and decently fast =)
In my opinion the Z1000 -14 and newer and also the Streetfighter 848 are still to this day the best looking naked / streetfighter bikes =)
What a sweet banana! You´re a very lucky man!
I'm super lucky indeed. WHAT A BIKE. WHAT A SWEET BANANA.
Dude that SF was dope! Good addition to your Monster...you gonna change up your bike on some of your Vlogs soon? wink wink. 👍🏼
hehe yea its dope and it would be great next to my Monster. maybe maybe :)
Very nice, but, the 821 or 1200S will be better in the long run. Cant wait to see what the new bike turns out to be.
Maybe maybe. 1200 was a bit much but 821 was neat.... Why do you think it will be better in long run?
Yep, 821 FTW. The SF is kinda overkill for me.
Buy one !!!
True that true that. I should.
How do you compare your buddies old grey S4R that you test drove awhile back? Power wise, etc... Does the 999 motor on the S4R feel stronger than on the 848?
Unfortunately when I rode the S4R it was so early in my riding that I didn't give it beans but for sure the suspension and brakes were better on the 848 it seems. Sorry man, I really wish I could honestly compare the two. 848's power was brutal and non stop. Wow.
Nice mirrors
Yea they were pretty cool, just needed to be tightened up.
That's interesting.. I love monsters old and new.. the Streetfight never spoke to me. Too modern looking. Wouldn't you rather have a higher end/newer monster (compared to yours)?
I don't know to be honest. I always always loved and wanted a Streetfighter, the design speaks to me - and after riding it it all clicked, the bike is epic - as good as I dreamt it would be. Better. I love the Monsters, always, the SF mixed up the plans a bit. I still need to test the new new trellisless Monster as well - who knows, maybe I go new new and flip the game up.
@@ducatinyc Yeah, looks are subjective, I have no doubts the Streetfighter is amazing to ride, but I wouldn't even try it, I'd buy the Monster :-\
The Monster has a really bad seat to peg ratio, I felt alot more cramped being 6'7 on the Monster than on the Streetfighter.
Needs a red frame!
No way!!! Not in my opinion. Never a big fan of red on Monsters or Streetfighters.
You should definitely get one!! Y not?
True. Well, the range is lower and I like to tour, also it would be a more attractive bike - so possibility of theft is higher.
@@ducatinyc You'd look cool, isn't that what's most important 😉? Maybe as a second bike
how's the leg ergonomics compared to the Monster 620? Any chance there's a bit more leg room around the tank in the little cutouts, etc?
It's surprisingly very similar - I did not feel out place at all. Felt just like home. You are a bit more upright and I can see how feet are a bit more tucked up - but sadly I didnt ride for long enough to really feel any of it. I would say there is NOT more leg room, its a more agressive setup.
@@ducatinyc Thanks for the response.
yeah, that's my worry - the streetfighters seem awesome in just about every way, but if the ergo's are even "worse" for taller riders than the Monster it's a tough sell for me. after mine was totalled I've been on an MT09 which is more upright than the Monster and my knees can fit in a lot more comfortably around the tank (36 inch inseam).
I sat on a Panigale (a 959 i think...) and it was really aggressive, but the new-ish (like 2018+) SuperSport is *very* comfortable to sit on and has that extra knee-room as well.
Have to admit the SF sounds so bass and powerful. However, personally I don’t like the look of the two exhausts on one side and I still don’t like digital dashes.
I kind of dig the shotgun barrel exhaust like that on one side, its cute. And yea if I go digital Dash I'd want it to be one of the color TFT ones.
Do the 2012 Ducati SF have a wet or dry clutch?
It’s wet, just how i like it
Looks. Mean🔥🤙 much better then the ugly. New Streetfighter( z1000 copy)
I looooove the new streetfighter. Z1000 copy 😂😂😂😂😂 z1000 wishes it was 1/4 the bike. Thanks for the joke broski
@@ducatinyc The new one has no frame and wrong engine🤘😎 good review by the way👍
Look at the 2015 z1000 orange , same front , side profil Almost the same🤙and i love Ducati🤩 my favorite Monster s4rs tricolore😍
Thank you. Its just change and progress. New v4 is the future
I remember your hypermotard ride you pissed that nerd looking portly fella right off. Hyper would be more fun i think
haha yea I sure did, dude was cranky "I JUST GOT BACK FROM 21 DAY RIDE AND BLAH BLAH" - i duno, Hyper would be even worse on long rides
Is this a first beginner bike , what would you recommend for first time rider
Absolutely NOT a beginner bike, by any means, at all. If you want a beginner Ducati - get one like mine, the 620 Monster.
I love the fact that you ride all year around and I hate the fact that you ride all year around, if that makes any sense.. I'm way to ocd I'd have to clean my ducati for hours after a winter ride with all the sand and salt.
It does make sense. I should be more OCD about cleaning but i get lazy and do the bare minimum. As soon as its warm its going to be detail time.
You're a super cool guy no matter the bike bro
Oh snap. This is what i wanted to hear. Thank your broski ❤️❤️❤️
Want this hike but can’t find it anywhere near me
They sure are rare to find nowday.
Nice review 👍 How tall are you?
Thank you! I'm 5-9 exactly.
Oké thanks. I am 1.87 mtr wonder if I am to tall for the 848 but I will check it some day. 😉
I asked for a garage stretcher for Christmas but nobody found me one.
Savages out there. Can only rely on yourself.
If only those streetfighters had abs... They're so much cooler than contemporary v4.
I know they just need to hit the gym.
Old SF needs to hit the gym??? 132HP is not enough? You are a madman. And I don't mind no ABS - i never had a bike with ABS
@@ducatinyc I’m sure it is fine... haha just a bad dad joke to the comment wishing it had abs (abdominals).
@@ducatinyc "I never had a bike with ABS" - but you had only ONE bike so far! :))))
@@devinbreeding5412 hahahaha i just got it. oh brother. strong joke my brother.
What’s up with the vlogs being so jittery lately, like it’s not smooth.
the footage or me personally? Hmmm not sure.
There’s one for sale with low mileage at Hudson Valley Motorcycles
Oh I've seen it :)
Never had this beautiful model on my radar. It is now.
However, how can one ride this only 1,300 miles in 6 years? That's like five Sunday fair weather rides. If this bike is really that great, it would be ridden more often, no?
@@sv650nyc7 I don’t get it either
@@sv650nyc7 14,000 thousand miles, not 1300. :)
New York rust city with all those piles of salt on the road:D
Brutal out there. MAD SALT
Too bad Ducati doesn’t make this one anymore
Luckily there are plenty great ones for sale used
Instead of the Street Fighter as your next bike, have you looked at the Monster 1200R?
I have, i’ve ridden one. Too much power for me. I think 821 will be my next.
I’ve got one. The power is addictive. I’m thinking of getting the 797 for my son when he turns 17. Gotta start him off right. Ride safe.
@@daved6057 the power def is addictive, but im having a hard time keeping a license as is.
797 would be perfect first bike for sure!
A true License Loser:D
Man, this bike is straight up trouble. Wait until you see my Manhattan ride. Judis.
i like your videos, i ride small motorcycle, hope you enjoy my videos too.
Thank you for the love.
I had one of these Mucho fantastico ( that’s very good in Italian). Made me feel like mucho acido quando bambino. (Too much acid when I was a baby)
Oh I'm getting this one one day - MUCHO FANTASTICO! Nothing wrong with a lil acid here and there - kid or not :)
Might have been Spanish
That is entirely possible
