Deej your right the 748 isn't as quick as a 600 IL4, I was a lot quicker on my R6 around Cadwell than I was on my 916 and the other week at Silverstone on the GP circuit I lapped 6 seconds quicker on my Tuned GSXR600K2 than I did on my 748SP.
But on the roads I just can't fault my 916 and when my 998 is finished I'm sure it will offer more than enough performance for the road.
Lowering the gearing on the 748 really does help, at Silverstone GP I couldn't get it to Rev out in top down Hanger Straight as I only had one extra tooth on the back (39T sprocket).
I raced the 748 at Silverstone about a week later on the club circuit using a 41T rear and it was a lot better, climbing past 11000rpm in every gear very quickly but still got blown away by the 996RS, 998R, RSVs etc.
