The bike looks great. People stare at it constantly. The performance is excellent, handles like a Ferrari. don't expect a power rush like an I-4, there is none. Just smooth delivery. Add a few nice bits, and you've got the best balance of power, weight and looks on the market!... read more

In an area the recieves harsh spring and fall weather and humid summer days northeast wisconsin could be claimed the 'proving grounds' for sport bikes. With twisty-turny town roads around the kettles and open country highways the 748 is happily at home. I ride with a group of 12 bikes. consisting of r6's, rc51, gsx1000's, 600rr, 998sps's, and one hell of a hayabusa......the 748 still takes the checkered flag. The 748 has the agility and a vast amount of power that the 998's have and still has the high reving ability that the japs have. However, the key is that the 748 is very very user friendly (considering that you have a good back and don't care about draging your knees around hair pin curves). The only problem with owning one of the greatest superbikes in Wisconsin is that it has to stored for six months. However, I keep mine in the living room next to the television....so, when the ladyfriend watches chick flicks I can stair and daze off at my bike!!! good luck guys with trying to find one!

This bike is awesome. I had a harley for 6 years and needed something faster and that could handle the twisties. I bought this bike with 3000 miles on it. I have put 1500 miles on it and love it to death. This bike has excellent suspension, power, looks, and feels like you are riding on rails. I have had no problem with it - very reliable. The riding position takes a while to get adjusted to, but once you relax, tuck in and lay on the tank, and hit the throttle - the bike hankles and seems to like to go fast. Excellent bike

I just picked it up as a left over 2001 and got it cheap. Can't believe the way this thing corners. I also own a 2000 monster 900. This bike makes similar power to the monster.

It's not broken in yet with only 225 miles on the odo. Still, until you ride one of these, words fail to express the feel in corners. Not made for long rides.150 miles and you're whipped. that's what the "other" bike is for.

I also found one well below MSRP but of course we are well into 2002. After being used to a CBR, this bike is just simply in another class. It's not the high revving, high pitched japanese bike but the all powerful and smooth V-Twin. I have not been able to open it up past 7000 RPM and only have 100 miles ... read more

It's not the high revving, high pitched japanese bike but the all powerful and smooth V-Twin. I have not been able to open it up past 7000 RPM and only have 100 miles on it but once the weather warms up a little, I am going to really enjoy it. What I have experienced is a magic carpet ride with a 748cc engine attached to it. Handles beautifully.

But its in its best when its in a corner. Its Sad you cannot have a 748s with two seats. Because if you are normal like me and don't spend too much time on the track. You will need the second seat 'cus You are going to pick up some girl with this bike. ( have to find a way to carry a extra helmet...) Cannot wait to finish breaking-in and open that Desmo 4v pass 7000 rpm BTW I think that my dealer still has one on sale...

This is my first bike and I have to say that I love everything about it. I haven't had any problems with the riding position. Actually I like the riding position on the bike better than other bikes. I feel comfortable on the bike going at higher speeds. I haven't had the opportunity to take it in some twisties yet, but I can't wait till I do. This bike is way to sweet! If you can afford one, I would definitely tell you its so worth it.
