Hey folks. My first post here apart from in the intro thread. Well, it's been three weeks and now two days since I picked up the 848. For those who didn't see my intro thread, I got a 2010 model with 3300 miles on the clock. I trader in my 2008 Speed Triple, and whilst I liked that bike a lot, I just didn't love it. Riding my friends 2014 ZX-10 made me realise I needed a sports bike again. In 3 years, I did around 100 miles on the Speed Triple. In 3 weeks I have done 600 miles on the 848. It's just so beautiful to ride. I think whoever owned it before me, aside from taking very good care of it, must have had the suspension tweaked from standard as I read a lot of reports on here about the rear being too hard for people but it seems so good for me. Anyway, just thought I would post to say how happy I am etc with my choice. I will try and get some photos up soon. And oh, that sound!!
Good choice. Feel the same about mine, done over 5000 miles in under a year commuting 60 miles round trip 4 days a week, best part of the day!
Do military blokes buy bikes and park them up most of the time. 3300 miles, must be mint. I love mine, can't keep my ass off it.
Most military blokes dont get a chance to ride as often as they want due to being away on operational tours etc
