off topic, what was wrong with your rear shock?
Is it me, or do the exhausts really seem to protrude from under the tail.
Amazing how you get used to cleaner lines I guess.
Beautiful bike. One of the technical big dogs was at my dealer over the weekend. I asked if the 848 would follow in the 1198 foot steps with it's transformation. He said they were working on it, but they were having a hard time making it work in the smaller bike.
I'd love to see an 849 frameless design. Track bike bliss.
good observation! it's almost 2" longer for the US spec'ed 848 evo, they have to do it so the bike pass emission. i know this first hand when i was shopping for one back in 2011
