Hey there.
I was hoping to pick the brains of anyone out there who has had the pleasure of owning both an 848 and a SuperSport.
What is your opinion on the headlight performance of the SuperSport in comparison to the 848?
I've had my '08 848 since brand new, and the headlight performance at night has always been its biggest downfall.
They just don't provide much light down the road any real distance, and when you are riding at night through roads that actually twist and kink, it makes you wish you could see in the dark instead.
I know that the SuperSport actually uses the same H11 bulbs that the 848 does, but the 848 has what must be the worst projector design ever created, while the SuperSport uses a reflector design instead. Heck, my CX-5 also uses the same exact H11 bulbs, and has a projector lens, and those headlights are so much better than what the 848 spits out.
I was wondering if the new SuperSport headlights are any better, or if its just a pipe dream of mine to be able to ride at night once again for the first time in 12 years?
Thanks,
BC.
