True, I'm wanting to buy a new bike soon and the shop I was in offered me the 1098 demo.
I be lying if I said it wasn't a lotta fun though

Sometime back I had the pleasure of having a 1098s for about 7-10 days.
No doubt it is more bike than any of us can handle or need.
But gee what a bike, now imagine the 1198 with traction control........ :o :o :o

I was lucky enough to score a test ride of the 1098S during the Turismo in Adelaide in 2008.
It was mind blistering.
