Now if only you knew someone who lived near Albuquerque that could check out/test ride the bike, then deliver it to Dallas for you...

O.K. three things;
1) My only real "issue" with an 848 is the wet clutch. Clearly a personal preference though.
2) LYD, are you made of rubber? Most people with bones find the Tamburini bikes torture racks (albeit exquisitely beautiful ones). Make sure and ride one before you buy it.
3) May I also recommend a track day to go along with your superbike. Just one track day should do.
Oh, and the fourth thing; DLS, yellow kicks ass

My 748's not bad on the body at all. Haven't really had those issues, even on one of those long slab rides into the hill country...

Wet clutch on an 848? Not mine
After riding Brian's 996S I didn't think it was all that bad comfort wise

If you are not AARP eligible it's really not that bad. Especially with the taller bars and Double Bubble ZG windscreen. Like I said, Jari did AR rides on the 996S. Of course then again, he's got that whole young, uberman, super power, Euro, Finnish thing going for him and I'm just an old, balding guy from Texas. What do you expect?

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Here is a red 848. Price seems high but then I've never actually shopped for an 848 though they look great.
