Exacatly, thats why I asked the question. Can get 749R cheaper now,but my research indicates a much more maintance intensive up keep along with much lower HP potental. Replacing Ti valves,conrods etc, on this revver could add up quick freshing up a 2-3 year old "rare" motor .Thanks for the indeph response. The best thing the 748/996 chassis does is the high speed sweeper thing( certaintly doesn't steer quickly). Are you saying that the 848 chassis is now almost oposite in that its quick steering,but not as stable/planted in the high speed sweeper on the knee stuff? This is for a track bike only consideration on my part.
