2010 Ducati 848 Dark: $12,995

The 2010 Ducati 848 Dark is painted in matte black and will retail for $1,000 less than the regular 848. No word on whether or not and sacrifices have been made to the spec level to bring that price down, but a quick look over this picture doesn’t reveal any immediately apparent mechanical changes.

Update: the 848 Dark doesn’t downgrade its spec to achieve the lower price and actually benefits from the same upgrades as the rest of the 2010 848 range: aluminum cam belt tensioner pulleys, LED dash and 30mm mirror extension kit.
