1198r Not looking to buy one (I wish!) Just wondered is there going to be one.... 1198s looks superb (I'll probably buy a 1198s second hand in a year or two - being a tight northerner...) To me it makes the 1098R look poor value at £10k more....:-O & not a lot to show for it... 1198s reminds me of my 998s - great looking, great performance, all the right bits & not too expensive like the R models.... & yes I am on kid minding duty on Saturday morning & yes I am bored......:-) |
Doubt it as the 1098R is 1200 cc anyway??? |
Yes but...... so is the 1198 now & it also has a basic traction control control system, ohlins F&R, radial brembo brakes.....what's not to like Not sure what you get extra with the R TTX shock Carbon bodywork Termi's & ecu incl Race air filter thingy... The shock, termi's and filter are worth having....£2.5k.....still £7.5k to find....:-D |
I've seen nelly post elsewhere on the 1198 v 1098r debate, and there seems to be lots of extra lightweight internal bits, and the bike rides differently and its an r ;) |
I'm sure your right - I think it's always been like that with the R's - lots of small tweaks & mods - that create a much better bike - I know Motorapido said that you can really tell the difference when you're servicing an R - whether it's a 996, 998 or 999..............just really well put together etc etc Ignore me - I was just bored...........;-D |
Anything less than an R is.....errrrrr.....less :D |
