I've got an '04 800 and supposedly the 800 will still be available here in '06 (see photo) even though it's not listed anywhere. 6,100 miles on mine. Had a generator go bad and a TPS go bad. Both were easy fixes with shop time about two days for each. After the TPS went bad, that bike has never ran as good as it did when I got it back with the new one. Motor is super fun and can do all the maintenance myself. Down side...non-adjustable suspension (on the 800) makes it super stiff for the wife. When I ride the bike after getting off the 749, the SS runs out of motor very quick. Constantly hitting the rev limiter. Good low end grunt though. Over all, very happy with the bike. It looks beautiful going down the road to. We always get tons of attention over all my buddies jap bikes no matter where we go. Contacted Section 8 about some custom suspension work to match my wife and was quoted around $700 US. I didn't think that was bad for springs & custom valves in the forks and new spring for the rear...with a satisfaction guarantee. [Edited on 17-10-2005 by galaxy] |
