Prince Harry Purchases Ducati 848
Thursday, April 1st, 2010Prince Harry has followed in his elder brother’s footsteps by purchasing a Ducati 848 motorcycle.
The 25 year old Prince has spent approximately £11,500 on the 170mph Italian machine.
Both Prince William and Prince Harry have a long association with motorcycles with the pair taking part in a 1,000 mile motorcycle charity ride across South Africa in 2009. Prince William has bragging rights over his brother however as he owns the Ducati 1198 superbike.
Harry’s friend told the Daily Mail: “Harry loves his motorbikes and has absolutely no fear - which may, or may not, be a good thing! William has been winding him up for months so he was the first person he told about his new ‘baby’ and he heartily approves.
“Both William and Harry enjoy the anonymity that putting on their leathers and taking to the road. “No-one knows who they are and in the biking world people just treat them as one of the lads, which they love.”
Somehow I can’t see an 1198 and 848 turning up at any motorcycle meets anytime soon!
