2, you'll eventually want more hp + DTC + full ohlins + forged rims + random cf bling.  but keep in mind that the 1198S will be 1k more expensive due to the service coming up in 500 miles.  but still a better choice than the 848 though, you're getting a lot more for the money.

One question.  Where are you planning on using it?  I NEVER see riders using all their bikes, so BS on the displacement argument.  Unless you really love long straights or highway runs.

The 748 I had was FAR more engaging than the 996.  And the higher revving wail was icing on the cake.

848 with some tasty mods would be a fantastic bike.

i agree with this, but i think the S coming fully kitted out makes it the best value for money.  offhand i think it's something like 4-5k extra to get the ohlins/rims and then another 2k for aftermarket traction control.  plus, since the 1198 already depreciated a good amount, when it's time to get a new bike the hit from selling wont be as bad.
