Well Martin, having owned a 998S FE and a 996R, a 916 and 998 BP plus recently acquiring a 05 Fireblade I fear you are mistaken. The 998S and the Fireblade are very similar in terms of handling and power deliver with the exception that the Blade has an extra 20bhp at the rear wheel. |
They are very similar, but only in the same way that margarine is very similar to butter.
I am not suggesting that the Blade is anything other than an excellent bike, just that the difference between a Blade and a 996SPS is huge compared to the difference between the 996 & the 998.
