jbot Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 what's this deal so good you can't refuse? i was always curious to know what a 848 went for.back on topic, tell us what kind of riding you do? back roads, hitting the twisties? main roads, hitting up starbucks? freeway, hitting the commute traffic?do you need two bikes? do you see an instance in the future where you may need 2 bikes? like, track, stunt, teaching newbies how to ride, etc etc?

And I dunno...Its fun to switch up bikes once in awhile....But I just don't know if the repsol would satisfy me like a Duc would...... But I sure do like how the respol looks!

knicks360 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well you sure would have alot more cocks around your 848 at bike night.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 i'm partial to buying used, myself.i like the look of the repsol plastics, but i guess it really depends on how much the guy is asking. I mean, what's stopping you from buying any old CBR and just getting a paint job or sticker kit? beyond the good looks, are the repsol bikes any better than a "regular" cbr? i'm guessing no. which leaves the repsol exactly 1 driveway tip over from being any old honda. which, by the way, isn't such a bad thing.the ducati has a great engine, phenomenal handling, and depreciates almost nil after a certain point. A 1 year old Ducati with a couple thousand miles will probably get you some nice discounts, but 4 years later, the depreciation will flatten out so that impacts your wallet less. oh, and they don't look half bad either. but also keep in mind maintenance will cost a bit more than the honda.the thing with bikes is that it's almost a purely rash and stupid emotional decision. buy what tugs at your heartstrings the most. they'll both get the job done.
