| Now that Lily has posted, I'm bound to say 'buy hers' or I'll be in trouble.
I sold my 748 and have emotionally regretted it ever since, but then logically, there is no contest. Now I have the RR, I'm in love - she's a real beauty and the sound with my full Arrow system is superb. Power is enough for me (checkout 600 vs powerbikes times at most circuits and there is a second or two in it - not enough to make any difference to your riding or mine), so plenty of power. The handling is the best bit though, very light and turns in quickly although mine has Ohlins in the forks, damper and shock, plus set up by KTec.
Once I learn to ride it, I will be a lot quicker on it than on my 748.
Do I stop for a little look every time I open the garage door? Well sadly, or otherwise, yes I do, it's not in the 748/9** icon mould, but it's still a beautifully put together machine.
You'll get a road minger from about £4500, but a sorted track one starts about £6k+ There is a guy in Yorkshire buying them new and converting straight to race/track, he's regularly on motoforum.net
