  1. I had a 996BP previous.But the 916sps I have is a different animal entirely.Much more aggressive power delivery.A touch less right down low but from midrange onwards its absolutely nuts.The sound is a lot different also more raw.

    I guess this is exactly the same between 1098 base/1198 and a 1098R/1198R corse edition.

  2. An SPS will lift the front on the throttle in 4th, mine would, used to scare me the smash in the face delivery. Not ridden a 1098 yet...suspect I'd want one if I did!

  14. Wet/dry, doesn't matter. Losing 5kg on the machine is still minus 5kg

  19. Have you weighed it?
    They were meant to have 180bhp but that was found not to be the case

  20. JHP have told me that with a bit of improvement the figures these 1098R bike put out is scary and well above 180.

    I think the key regardless of a few +/- bhp is in reality does it scare you shitless.If the answer is yes then its a bike I would like to own (if I can afford the running costs).One of the reasons ive held onto the sps for so long.

    I can confirm bradders is right.Since I had the valve collets replaced on last service the bike has a nack of lifting the front when you don't expect it at a alarming rate.Even with a longer swingarm lol.
