New bike time

[R6jonny]

Well, its been coming. I have been thinking about selling my GSXR750K8 for a little while now. I was going to buy my mates RSVR but after a trip to the dealers today I have come away the proud, yet slightly skint-er owner of one of these...

2008 plate 848 2.5k miles, barely used, the tyres are like new whoever owned this previously has hardly used the bike (cue always in the workshop style gags!!)

Will be kinda sad to see the GSXR going but you only live once so might as well try something new

Here is the GSXR in its element...

So, what's it really like compared with the GSXR? I am thinking of getting an 848 next spring. A piece of art compared with the new Fireblade! The problem is, I own a GSXR 1000 and absolutely love it. The trouble is, if the Devil made bikes, he would make GSXR's. Fact!

Stunning machine there R6johnny.

Any mods planned ?

I think the white ones look best, (Possibly exc Tri-Colore, don't know if they do that on the 848 though ??? )

The 848 is absolutely stunning. Congratulations mate.

Plus you should be able to enjoy its supposed impeccable corner stability and torque without hitting 3 figure speeds every single time you open the throttle.

Enjoy it and look after it.

Lovely bike mate.

Supersports your a tosser and just jealous, though im sure your restricted nsr is faster right?

Hopefully one day i will have the bigger brother of that bike the lovely 1098s. Whats the fuel consumption like on it as ive heard its not all that great on the 1098?

Also we will need a sound clip when you get the termi's

Assume thats till the reserve light?

My rsv can be just as bad, big twins for you. Though I'd still get one if it only did 50 miles till reserve. Lovely bikes

Why the fudge would you care about MPG if you have a duke sports bike? If your first question about it is 'What is the consumption like?' I suggest you look at another bike.



Why did you go for the 848 over the 1098?
