| The 998r motor has so much more pull from low down than the 996. I have no idea how hard they were trying but on a airfield day I could hang onto race prepped R1s (Dean Ashston?)in a straight line compared to being left for dead on a 996bip the previous year.
The brakes are fantastic as well.
Can't comment about the cornering too much as the corners require a lot more skill and bottle than twisting the grip in a straight line!!!
Guido had a short run up the road on my 998r after jumping off his 748r not sure if he was on it long enough to make much comparison though??!!
