Details: the 2008 Ducati 848's white paint

848white.jpgWhite bikes are just cooler. In Ducati’s case, the color transforms the derivative, uninspired form of the 848 into a strong, dynamic shape. It contrasts the black belly pan, frame and wheels exceptionally well. We’d peel the silver Ducati logo off the tank and tail; fit a black screen; and powdercoat the rest of the components black, leaving the 848 logo red. All of this just to remind the people you pass that you don’t need 1098ccs and race rep graphics to be faster than them.
