2008 1098r Vs 2016 1199r

You’ll have a lot more power. Probably 150 on your 1098 vs the R will be easy 180. Full system, custom map, 195. And 100lb ft....!

 

funny how the more times things are said the more they become true...

 

@Adrian Stephen Bygott i have sent you a WhatsApp mate! Mine has a Wilf at MotoRapido remap, the graph is at home, think it was around 190bhp.

 

Sorry yep - I was under the impression there was little Engine work on the 1299R but I was wrong apologies- same spec engine as 1199R with more cc

 

Or the more you see them dyno’d with similar results the more it becomes fact

 

But true too. Andy

 

all this talk about the R bike has got me thinking about selling my pani r and going 1098r

 

I do wonder if some of the larger numbers are ‘calculated’ as crank rather than rwhp

 

Dyno numbers are all relative anyhoo. Whats more important is decent curves without the dips and troughs.

 

Oh yeah... I bet all the Dynos in the uk get sick of you always being there on the odd occasion they have put a 1098R on there...

 

Who said I was?

 

Good move Mike. Wilf is the man for that caper.... What a machine that is.... GLWS, new owner’s in for a treat with that bad boy Hope they like doing wheelies

 

Just a FYI
It doesn't really matter whether it's a 1098r with 180 or a Pani r with 200 ish - if the nuts loose on the seat - enjoy

 

Government has been doing that for years.

 

Massaging BHP figures for

 

Like many others have said the 1098r is a beast . I’m not saying the Pani isn’t as I only own the former but being older the 1098 is way less controlled and as such you get the full experience of a 180 bhp twin. Nothing is left out.
For me it’s actually a bit too much on the road , hard suspension and aggressive engine making the ride .....involving shall we say.
Hairy arsed might be a good description.

 

SP isn’t even in the same game as the two R’s

 

Which probably makes a better road bike ? Andy
