Too bad I can't read greek.

 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective

I'm thinking the same thing!
......... I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and I am what some people call mentally retarded.

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.
