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 :)

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!!!!!!!!!

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 ;)

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 ;)
