as a man who likes exclusivity more than power
I would still suggest you wait
I may be wrong but you could of bought more powerful bikes
when you got the 749R
and it wont be long before they up the bore on the 1098
cubes make power not kudos
the internals of the 1098 will be no where near as finely fettled as the 749R
but I do understand that the 1098 is a hell of a good looking bike with plenty of go.
so all the best. tough choice. but I know what I would do
