Ducati 848 Evo Stealth

One of my favourite new bikes. Always thought the 916 couldn't be beaten in the looks department until this came along.

And it's quick too. The 2011 Ducati 848 Evo is their most impressive lightweight superbike ever, with more power from the Testastretta engine and even more braking power. It will go on sale at a price of £9,995 for this, the 848 EVO Dark Stealth version with stunning new dark matte paint, racing black frame and black wheels.

Combining a 140bhp engine and with the 848’s legendary (168kg) chassis set-up and planet-stopping Brembo Monobloc brakes, the new model also has twin under-seat silencers, single-sided swingarm, trellis frame and that beautiful racing bodywork.

Is there a better way to spend £10k?
