You've obviously spent a lot to make this bike personal to you. However, I'm a bit of a traditionalist and I can't see enough 'exotic' engine components/tuning/performance to imply that it's an 'R'. At the moment, it's just a decorated 848. Some of it I really like . And some of it I find a little tasteless (mainly the gold). But as you say, each to their own.
I understand that some people will like it & some won't...but that's what is going to make mine different from all the other factory 848's out there!
