if your going to commute daily, dont bother owning a nice bike. Save the poor 848 and get a beater bike. Sv650, Older monster is quite nice. Thats what my Monster is to me now. S2R1k beater bike.
<threadjack> My S2R1K isnt a beater bike. But then again its the only bike I own.

Sorry to hear about the asshat that hit your bike. I was at a party with some friends and a girl mentioned she had hit a car and didnt leave a note.

After explaining that someone had recently hit my car and left me with a $1200 repair, I informed her that she was a waste of skin. She left the party crying. Hopefully she went to put a note on the car.

I felt bad I made her cry... ok not really.
I was pissed about my car. I dont even want to think about if someone did it to my bike.
