2. Title: Re: Quick Polls - polls close this wed Post by: thought on January 10, 2012, 01:51:50 PM 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.

Title: Re: Quick Polls - polls close this wed Post by: hillbillypolack on January 10, 2012, 07:03:13 PM 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.

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.
