Test ride one. Start there. They feel completely different than an R6
I hear that! I'm back to moto-commuting (~80 miles a day) and have been browsing for something with longer and easier maintenance intervals that I don't care about packing miles onto. Unfortunately, all the Japanese options do look so cheap/boring in comparison. I've been seriously considering a second 848 Corse SE.I like many people on here have always owned Japanese bikes but now will NEVER go back. The styling of the Japanese bikes are so fugly and truly they look all the same and cheap compared. ...
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised how cheap the Duc was to insure. My agent said that they go by the numbers and people don't crash 'em as much so, they're cheaper to insure. ...he also mentioned that I wasn't getting younger which helped tooOne other thing to consider is the difference in the cost of insurance. I was thinking gsxr 750 and priced it compared to the 848 before I bought. The gsxr was double the insurance every month!
