  5. Hi Simon

    Out of interest, why don't you enjoy riding it (pm me if you prefer)?

  6. I instantly dislike someone on a deep personal level, if they don't enjoy a 1098 R.

    Must be wired wrong in the brain... like Saville, Brady or Hindley

  8. There was a large chunk of joking in there... but it is a 1098 R and I'd suffer quite a lot for one of them in the garage :upyeah:

  9. Don't know how you thought that might be even remotely funny. Poor judgement this time. Andy

  10. I saw the funny side, but always do :) finding mine as easy to get on with as the R1 and SFS, nicer than the 998, and immensely easier to live with than the RSVR Factory. Perhaps it needs setting up?

  12. Surely just the SRAD... don't want to start bartering too high.

  14. Somebody talk to me about how these compare to the newer bikes; Panigale , BMW, etc? I've rode a 1098S but nothing like this. Quite fancy having something special instead of the BMW.

  20. Not too sure how to provide you with a meaningful answer as my experience is limited to earlier and less performance oriented bikes. A friend of mine met through BBS Eurotracks used to be a professional endurance racer and is still one of the quickest riders I have seen (discounting Tito Rabat and Josh Brookes). He rode my 1098R at Almeria and despite the interference of the traction control which I forgot was on, he was lapping in the mid 1:40s. In his words, it was the best bike he'd ridden for a very long time and was wondering why he shouldn't have one. I have a well developed 853 based on a full factory 748 and first time out on the 1098R by the end of the 3rd day I was 15 seconds a lap quicker. Still over 2 minutes but a lot quicker. I love it with a passion. Andy
