  1. Hi chaps as you have seen I'm selling my zx10r and all ready sold my 748r and I've seen that 1098r on evil bay and I'm very interested I've read there mental things but is going to feel that mad from the zx? Its going to be mainly used on the road with about 3 track days a year, I've never ridden a 1098 so is buying an R a bit silly? Any info would be great chaps.cheers

  8. The 1098R isn't fitted with a quickshifter as standard ;) Gearbox probs very rare apparently unless raced :upyeah:
    They are a truly awesome bike,deffo not the mad handfull to ride some would have you believe,just as rideable as any 1098/1198 but with more of everything everywhere and mental quick when you want it to be :Jawdrop: You will love every minute of it !!!

  9. it's the same gearbox and will need replacing if you exploit the potential of the bike

  17. I'd be interested to know what you think of the big twin after a ZX10. I rode my friends Zx10 at the IOM and found it very strange, as in all the power was up top and when it came in it was uncontrollable; his is a heavily modified SF ZX10.
