as an 848 owner i predict he is going to change the rear suspension... stock is just way too stiff, even after adjusting it its just barley tolerable.

Broke in the bike this morning on the Crest Rd. I was holding 20% more corner speed and was riding at a more subdued pace than I normally do. I'm loving the chassis!!! There's so much more there.... As far as the mod-wager goes, I never officially agreed to anything, so there! Pbbbbttthh!   |

It's a little stiff, but not bad... I've ridden the last 3 entry level SBK's and of them all this was the stiffest, but I haven't adjusted anything...

Talk to Rick (Mac) down in Desmotropic. He has the key to unlock that bike. |
