no not at all man. That's what I'm saying though, everything that give us hard on's when we go out and upgrade is already on this bike stock.
It's all types of

 

check out FAST BIKES magazine..... one of there writers had a long termer 848.... he did a lot of work to it too.... those guys dump serious money into their long termers....

 

Ouch...youre right,too each their own...but theres no denying 748s are classics. Personally i think theyre one of the best looking bikes ever made. Id love one but id probably want it as a second bike.

used ducs arent that much more than your average jap bike unless youre buying like an 07-08+ model than youre talking 5 figures but even then ive seen some in the 7-9 which isnt thaaaat much more than a new 1krr. Theyre just high maintenence and more expensive to own due to the more frequent servicing and parts and such being more expensive and harder to come by.
