Now that most of you have a good season on your 08's, what do you think of it...good and bad? Hows it compare to other liter bikes you've driven or owned?

 

best bike i have ever owned. i think i have owned all brands and most sizes. you couldnt steal it from me with a bazooka.

 

huh, I could not have said it better myself.

 

Just got mine and the only problem so far is all of the people that tell me they wish they had one and that they think it is bad ***. There is no need for that, I already know.

 

I have put 4000 miles on mine so far and have had no issues with oil or smoke from the exhaust or anything. Love her!!

 

My 08 is a step up from a 98' f-3- no problems transitioning at all. No loss of oil,or smoke. I use only Honda 10-40. Lower fairing took a couple min. to figure out, and I can't figure out why factory manual wants so much torque on oil filter (23ft-lb?), I had to get a filter socket to remove my first filter. Harley guys at work laugh because you can't hear the bike at idle from about 10 feet away. They shut up when I screamed over a hill with some twisties next to the sweat shop. Gas mileage...I ride freeway 30 miles to work. If you stay around 70, about 40mpg- my f-3 only got 46. Slipper clutch is great for decell on upcomming corners. Cornering is a breeze- I love corners-just past the apex-you feel like Buck Rogers as you accelerate out.

 

so far 6500 miles, simply awesome and best machine Ive ridden thus far....the true king of the literbikes...

 

Sometime doesnt shift good from first to second. Other than that only thing that bothers me is theres a repsol coming out for 09.

 

Best bike ever...just not enough time to ride.

 

no problems here either except clunky from first to second. pushing 2000 miles. will the clunk get better with wear or is it from revving so high in first. my 900 done the same thing. i have a few mods i believe im pushing 170hp. she's raw
