It is a sickness I tell you... how we justify going up the ladder.. here is the reasoning...
899... great street bike. Has everything that I need.
But... I want the LEDs.. want the warranty... risk of cancel warranty if I mess up with the bike internals.. and I want the magnesium covers because I want easy access to the clutch... clutch, I want slipper clutch... you know...
1199S - for not much more I can get the 1199S and it has so many things that I want... all cover under warranty... better suspension, better brakes, wheels, display, slipper clutch, etc... yeah, yeah that is the one that I should go for... but wait...
1199R - if I can do the S, I can certainly spring for the R... Titanium... ohhhh sexy... carbon fiber bodywork..ahhhhhh Titanium connecting rods. Carbon fibre components: swingarm guard, heel guards, cover for conveyors, switch gear cover, cover for rear shock absorber, rear and front mudguard, cover for clutch case. oohhh aahhhh Termignoni exhaust, the aerodynamic screen and the rear-view mirror taps in aluminium...
Sickness indeed...
