Gotcha.

Has he had a chance to ride the 1199 yet? Any word on the comparison to the 1198 from him? The guys I've talked to really like how easily the 1199 transitions compared to the 1198, but getting the suspension correctly set has been challenging...probably just because there isn't a baseline for the bike yet.

Last I talked to him, he was testing the 1199 at track days and in warm-ups...in fact, he even crashed it once :) I didn't get into much detail about performance...

I keep telling him he should just get a big pile of money and light it on fire  [evil]
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

You don't get trophies and wimminz from lighting money on fire.

Then again, you don't get wimminz from racing.
