Yes, but you have to change your name. ;D
Not if you don't post pics.

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?
Congrats.
They still let me hang around, enjoy that thing!
O but seriously i don't believe you without pictures [roll]
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!
I've been coming back to this thread for two days and still no pictures...........BAN HIM!
this weekend - i promise....too busy riding in the few rain free moments i can find...
just take pics where the bike is stored. outside may be wet, but baby's dry!
i dont know if you guys remember the guy posting pics of himself giving the finger...but i had to honor him with a bit of imitation!

I put some Helibars on my 848 and it made a huge difference.
That is one sexy bike........I say we ban him anyways, after all it's not fair right? [laugh]
