I commuted 50 miles each way on a 848. Didn't find it a problem at all but it was a lot of clutch work in West End London traffic. Nice and skinny though so filtering was a doddle.
ok so im so far between a k7/8 600 and an 848 i reckon... i know some of the earlier gixxers are likely more raw but with one 'vintage' bike in the fleet i was hoping for the potential new daily to be a bit newer if that makes sense of my must haves im less bothered about the blackishness
