That's nothin. ;)
Nice, looks good.
That makes it an S, not an R.....but sooooo sweeet.
(I don't want an R version...stock motor is good)

i said R because it has TTX Full termi Forged Mag Wheels and a lot more carbon fiber than S [cheeky]
Sweet looking bike [thumbsup]
I'm really leaning toward swapping my M620 for an 848

I'm thinking the same thing!
you are going to love it, i rode on on the trackday yesterday better than 1098 on the track will not wear you out, it has just enough horsepower to go fast and be safe! [thumbsup]

please stop...
I really want an 848 but have convinced myself to wait until I am at least in a higher paying job. You are not making that decision easy. ;)
I went from my M620 to the 848, I love the 848 on the track and the 620 on the street.
I was at the AMS trackday this past weekend and got to see Victor's 848 in person. Wow it's a beauty and he's really fast on her.
And Giannis is completely right, you'll love it on the track. The 848 just rides on rails in the corner. I finally got my knees to drag [thumbsup]
Great job on the bike.
I'm still struggling with getting an 848 or a sport touring bike next but gotta keep the Monster no matter what I buy.
yeah very very nice job
very nice!!
Oh my christ is that nice!
Hmmm. . .
could be a nice replacement for a missing 675 . . .
Killer stripes, man! [thumbsup]

I hear the gas mileage is excellent. It would almost pay for itself, you know.
Those tires have seen some lovin' - [thumbsup] I still have a little chicken strip :P

Sorry to threadjack but that was my exact justification for getting my S2R. I hear they have 50% less maintenance now too. ;)

That is until you factor in that you need premium gas, new tires every 3k-4k miles, oil changes about the same mileage and the maintenance costs :P Of course thats how i justified commuting my bike everyday also and the huge smile i have when i get to work!

+1, though,
Living/working in the city:
I did the math and it turned out the 848 was about 1/3 the price per mile than my POS Ford, factoring in repairs, ga$, maintenance, parking $, parking tickets, DMV charges, Bridge tolls, etc.
848 - 2 year full warranty, free road side assistance/ tow; (Any bike)free on bridges at commute hours, park free, or $1.50 a day(free), get there in 1/10 the time...(Any bike); average 45 ~ 50MPG
+ I like it.
Beautiful
I'm not a fan of the red stripes. :-\ Awesome besides that though. [thumbsup]
I really want to paint mine gloss black...gotta justify the expense to my wife though. [roll]
My wife encouraged me to buy the pearl white one. I got to leave it that color to keep the endorsement from her. ;D It is the fastest color anyway.
That bike is very sexy though... wrong color... but very damn sexy.
I'm diggin the paint...
I'd like to see the Marzocchi forks on it
did they add an adjustable link for the rear susp?

ya paint, what-ev. I like the stripes +1.
I want to know more about how the new "R" bits changed the ride experience.
Can anyone compare / contrast?
Is the handling
that much better/ worth the $$$
