damn, this may have to be the next purchase. owned a 1098 SF and seat height combined with just being too much for the street (for my taste) made me sell it a few weeks later.

he tweeted that it's supposed to be annouced monday...

[uglyducky]

any engine specs out yet?  or is it all a total mystery?

[thought]

nothing out yet, just that hint for next monday.

pretty sure the sf848 is going to be a huge seller for them.  fits the niche of what a lot of monster riders are looking for.

Dealer meeting in Miami in two weeks I'm told.   Let's see

i wonder if this will cannibalize sales from the 848 itself?
might help with my quest for an 848... lol

my hopes as well.  A new 848"S" would help too

I had been thinking about buying a MTS next as a touring bike, but a yellow SF848...

I could turn the Monster into the tourer and keep the SF for fun.

specs wise, don't think it will be far off the SBK 848...

would be more awesome if it's an evo motor

I'd much rather have the standard 848 motor for a mostly street application. The evo powerplant was "massaged" to get most of its oomph higher in the rpm range. Fine for a bike that will see most of its life on the track, but (lower rpm) torque is the name of the game on the street.

Fair point.

MMM - Streetfighter 848 is potential candidate to be my next purchase. I wonder if they will upgrade it to ABS like the new Monsters.
