New 797 Anybody?

  1. This!
    I was returning to biking so bought the 821. I ran in urban (75ps) then later switched to touring and now sport. It's a great commuting bike, low torque, smooth power and also a true sports bike at 6'000 to 10'000rpm. I test rode loads of bikes and this was my choice. And why should a water cooled bike be more expensive? When was the last time you heard of a radiator or water piping or thermostats failing? And water is not that expensive ;-)
     
  2. Have a 2017 797 dq exhaust decat , so picked up 6.4 hp. Bike is fun light,great to go out on a ride,not look for a race like I do on gsxs1000,797 engine noise is much less than 821 or my son inlaws 2016 1200s.They sound like they are ready to fly apart in next minute or two.First thing you think is no oil in them.797 gives off some heat when stopped, but less then 821 I rode.
