Thanks all for your valued comments. I think a test ride will be the only way to decide as some of you have pointed out so i'll bide my time and keep an open mind. My heart says the 748 (i take on board your comments and various other threads about the rockers) but my head says 998 - I guess we'll see what's availoable when i decide to buy. On the servicing front how do the home mechanics amongst you cope? Easy to service? Frame get in the way? Need particular tools? Lots of skinned knuckes? Or best left to the stealers? Thanks again, Russell. |
