    very nice, locktight the heat shield if you ever change is as it will lose a bolt or two.then
    back the rear preload off a load as standard they are far too hard, mine had 8mm sag
    when I started :eek:

    I prefered mine over the blade personally, then could corner like something else.
    I had lost my job so couldnt keep a bike that I would have to pay someone to service.

    I had the 1098S... briefly lol

    They are great bikes, lots of fun, very nice to look at !

    Dont expect it to start first time, always have it hooked up to a optimate and keep on top of the servicing and I am sure you will love it to bits !

    If I had a second bike as sunday best :) I would have a 848/1098 again, just couldnt live with it as an everyday bike doing the commute I do :)

    Love the colour !
