I've got a 1098R but I kept a S4Rs just so I could remain a member here.

Othewrwise I would have got the " boot ."

Probably for more reasons than " no Monster  ! "             Dolph       ;D

That, sir, is what we call an upgrade.  WAAAY different feel though, huh?  Will the 1098s be a daily driver for you?

a few things i've noticed rather quickly...

1.  the ohlins makes a HUGE difference.  bumps on 93 north leaving boston used to be a huge pain to ride on the 800 - the 1098 just sucks em right up.
2.  tap the throttle 1st and the wheel is right up in the air.  it took a lot more  - i practically had to hammer it on the 800 to lift it a little ( no - i do not fly around boston doing wheelies - not by any stretch - just something iv'e noticed.)
3.  holy s*** i cannot get over how fast and fun this bike is...

pics on the way!
