If you've never ridden a 916 you'll find a LOT more grunt than the 748.
The torque comes in pretty smoothly, and keeps building so you dont realise how fast you're going without trying.
The downside compared to a 748 is that it's much snatchier in traffic cos you'e doing less revs for the same speed with the 916.
