| I went from an '01 RSV to an '04 749S.
The RSV is a tall bike, and a bit top heavy. As a result, I found it didn't like slow speeds and it was a bit twitchy in the wet. The motor is a peach though - very grunty.
I wouldn't make the trade as I don't think it's a fair swap, unless you're a big Haga fan. The only difference between the Haga rep and a normal RSV-R is the paintjob plus it came with Akra race pipes. You can pick up the 01-03 RSV-Rs (full Ohlins) for about the same price as your 748S is worth. You'd be paying the RS250 for the Haga connection, and I don't think they command such a premium. Nice bike, but well overpriced IMHO.
Keep the 748S and the RS250. Much more bike for the money. |
