50% less than previous Ducatis.

I talked to a Ducati dealer this spring about an 848. He said that for 95% of the population, the 848 was better than the 1098 because of the reduced weight and better handling. His reasoning was that most people won't really use the extra power of the 1098. I mostly agree with his reasoning.
