You made the best choice...just join the AA! and dont stray too far from your house ;-) No seriously...I'm trading my Vrod for one asap after my fantastic test ride over a Ducati/MV and Tuno. This the best looking and sounding bike I've heard in a loooonngggg time mate. How's it going, do you still own it??
when i get back to the uk im seriously considering this bike (in the same colour too) but haven't tested it. i have tested the 848 but it's abit expensive. so im basicly asking can you compere this to the ducati? and how is it running, is it expensive to own, insure and service? and how often is the service required? (jap bikes are 6000km and ducatis is 12000km). would ´be nice to have some info, thanks.
Service is 5000Km/3125mi. Only do minimal miles so not that expensive. Bike performed perfectly after three days at Almeria. 848 is expensive. Tornado and esp. RS is ridiculous amount of bike for very little money.

Thx! sounds great even with the std can... induction roar and engine noise when you hit about 7000 rpm sounds like a Ferrari 360 :-D
Will have to get some on bike footage at some point.
