Hi Dementor, yes I'm going to look at the 848 too. I've read it's a good bike but needs setting up. Have you had yours long? Have you been on track?

I'm looking forward to trying all these great bikes out

Hello Outliar

welcome, nothing wrong the old 748's either
where you based, as I am sure you can hook up with like minder folks?

Hi Tipitoes,

Yes I know - but I know a guy who had even more problems than me with a 748... I also know many more people who had no probs whatsoever...

Anyhow, I figure I'm better off with a newer bike.

I'm currently in Norwich, though soon moving back to SW London area

Cheers

no worries if your anywhere near the home of rugby you will need to
get some miles in for the good roads.

Hi Mate, Funny enough I did the same, I gave up my 999 after my close friend decided to try and become one with my bike! (did a decent job too!)

I repaired the bike, but it just never felt the same, I gave it up and then tried all and I mean all the jap thou's, several thousand pounds of debt later I have bought a new Ducati, and I love it.

Take the plunge man you won't look back.

I am new to the forum myself, but welcome.

A 998s?

Not too many of them up for sale but this might be of interest.

A 998 is an excellent choice ridden the new fangled 1098 but I'm sticking with my 998, no desire to change now, we're growing old together

Ray.

Hi Ray, thanks for that. I've sent him a PM already (can't post in the for sale forum for 7 days as a new member for some reason), so waiting to hear back. Will be trying the 1098 for size as well, but in all honesty I'm not sure I need 160bhp. Watch this space...

Actually Ray, wonder if you could do me a favour and reply to that thread for me and ask him to contact me? Just in case he doesn't check his PMs - he's getting old and may not be able to read the small numbers ;-)

Done.
Directed the seller to this thread and alerted him to PM.

Ray, you're a star. Many thanks.
