[Brad3AB]

Hello all,

an 848 has come up and Ive got to get rid of my monster and 748 to get it shall i go for it or just keep my 2??

and what do they ride and go like??

thanks brad

[bradders]

depends if you want a bike that does most things, or two separate ones. For me its a yes - but then I have made a similar choice already

[buggsysps]

Its a yes from me too

[Brad3AB]

its pretty much a yes for me too, i get of the 748 and on the monster and its like riding a motocross bike good for everyday but i gotta check my insurance!!

and what does a 848 ride like i love my 748 i think its awesome has an 848 got a wow factor, what does it handle, accelerate, stop like??

am i gonna kill meself or will it inspire me??

i should do it!!!!!!!!!

[bradders]

go and try one, for me it was a 996 plus a bit more every day rideability...but soooo easy to ride fast. I'm on my second, which I bought in October and haven't even ridden yet!! But I'll still expect to get 5k miles on her this year

Its the best bike ive ever owned enough said.

hello again all,

well after my 2 weeks in france (which was absolute pants btw), im back and tommorow im going to look at this 848 which only has just short of a 1000 miles on an 09 plate, but there maybe 1 problem!!!!!

Its WHITE i need some persuasion here what do you guys think????

and one more thing dont go to bastille in Paris it stinks!!!!

[bradders]

Nowt wrong with white

[Brad3AB]

yeah u dont see many of them either do ya?

[bradders]

I have a White with red wheels and frame. At least you'll know it's an 848 and not a 1098 like all other red ones
