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

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

[Brad3AB]

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??

[Brad3AB]

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

[bradders]

I live Gosport so familiar haunt

[Brad3AB]

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

[bradders]

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

[bradders]

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

[Brad3AB]
