The 749R is one of my all-time favourite bikes. In fact YOUR 749R is one of my all-time favourite bikes, so it had better stay where it is or I'll be having words with you.

Get the 848 and ride it!

It's faster, ligher and cheaper to run.

This is the issue in a nutshell.

Do you want a bike for the joy of riding or the joy of owning ???

If I was to part with my 748R, it would have to be the 848
