Hi, Ive actually just bought a 748R, but have still to pick it up. From what you say it seems like a rubbish bike, most people ive spoken to praise it and really say it is an awesome bike. But a lot different than the 748bip. I had a 748sp a while ago (wasnt for long) and i bought it in pretty cheap, unfortunately i havent been able to test ride a 748R and went on insticts.. hope i was right, can any one tell me how similar it is to the 748sp... also is it really that bad? I think it may have been the one you test rode. Remeber if suspension is played around with it changes the whole feel of the bike, especially if its not to your weight and sizing etc... also how up-to-date was the service history? maybe it was due a service, did the bike have aftermarket cans?
