I love the looks of the 749S... Don't know if I could pull myself to drop that kind of money. Or to buy a V-2... i could be wrong!

fnfalman- On the contrary I believe Sport Rider loved the handling of the 1098R alot when they tested it a month or two back. Now on the other hand with the 848 i believed they used the word "quirkey" to describe the suspension. I think in a cost cutting measure they went cheap on the rear end. When pushed at racetrack speeds theres a lack of feel, compression problems, and the forks bottomed out pretty bad. Plus they said that the street ride is harsh as hell.... arent all Ducs tho???
