I have ridden both and obviosly own one of them.i'm with Dibs on this one,the 998 is very smooth,with a good spread of everything everywhere,the 748R is fickled,horrible at partial throttle and requires a good deal of patiance in most aspects of ownership especialy if you are used to Jap stuff.But if you want a full on,go for it type bike with better brakes and suspension then go for the "R". |
