So I just signed the purchase agreement to my new 848. 2008 with 966 miles. Figured I'd better get myself on a forum!

I also have an 02 Honda CBRf4i which I've used as my learning and modding bike over the past year.

Nice one! Will be there with you in April!

Welcome snap4! I bet your Honda becomes quite neglected in the near future.

You're going to love your 848 once you get it sorted out. It kills me though that such an amazing bike can be 3 years old and have less than 1000 miles... what's wrong with people?

Bought my 09 last year and it had 600 miles on it. I think it has about 1200 miles or there abouts now. I got it late in the summer so I only put about 600mi on it.
It's low miles and these bikes arnt exactly tourers or all that comfortable so I don't see most folks putting silly miles on them.
I figure i'll put 1500+ miles on it this summer.
I will be 40 this year and I have ruptures disc in my back. I just can't go more then 20 or 30 mins at a time. Even then I'm feeling it the next day.

Congrats on the bike. You just can't help love the bike! It's just drop dead Hot!

I did over 6000 miles in 1.5 riding seasons so far. But then again some tell me I'm insane.

Nice! I'm close to 10,000 miles in about 9 months. 7 months really because I was injured and couldnt ride for 2 months in the summer (non bike related).

Haha my mechanic was almost shocked to see how many miles I put on her. "not normal for this area, typically you dont see those miles for 3-5 years" Well I bought it to ride it!
