well went out 1st time yesterday and ive got to say WOW, its totally different to anything ive ridden the power curve is superb, not like the 748 where youve got to thrash it to gt anything from it, and handling wise its awesome comfort is good to all in all im chuffed to bits!!!

oh and white is the new red!!!!!

Glad you are enjoying it.......but then what isn't there to enjoy with the 848 ...........wait for the 1098 owners to tell us :lol:

Snap. First excursion on mine today, been in the garage since Oct, awesome! Seems quicker than I remember the old version and front gets lighter too, but sure that's just because it's 18 months or so since I rode a fast sports bike

Gotta sort suspension tho, no idea how Tim rode this thing like this! Oh and add a little pressure in tyres, realised when I got home that was the one prep thing ( did chain etc) I forgot yesterday.....23 front 25 rear may not be he best for the road ;)

lol not a good tyre pressure checked mine yeterday, then i cleaned it today and it was all shiny then couldnt stand there looking at it so i dirtied it up again lol,

yes the front does get light pretty quick lol, and i opened it up in 2nd and OMG i didnt think it was going to stop, i need a track day, bradders where abouts are you mate??

when i get home to pompey i should really come out to the 272 considering your all more that way!!

I live Gosport so familiar haunt

oh rite well i hope its not rowner lol, i can see the gunsmoke from here haha!!!!

No but coming from a Pompey lad that's a definite insult ;)

did some messing with suspension and out again yesterday, plus 31/29 R/F pressures...seem to behave a little better but needs proper set up, time to book it into Snells

hard or soft, i woz down our neck of the woods the other day and erm got pulled by the obvious, not great i would like to keep my license thank you please!!!!

oh and ive clocked 700 miles now no motorways lol, my chicken strips have disappeared!!!
