Here's another local one. 2004 999...$5,500. It has some miles, but Greg takes care of his bikes.

Yeah, you got the best of both worlds with that one. The solid base motor with some high level ohlins. Very nice bike, but setup is key with the r/t forks. They're amazing on decent pavement, but "boingy" on rough stuff
I ended up with a good deal on a 1098s so I'm pretty happy myself.
Anyone with a case of the boingies needs to talk to the vet.

The 1098 that I have r/t forks on is being refitted as a full time track bike since I wrecked it 2 months ago. Everything works perfectly on the track

Why would anyone wreck a perfectly good 1098?
I must have missed a page.
You OK?

I never posted about it. Lost the front on some diesel fuel in a decreasing radius at about 65 mph. Broke a rib and had a mild shoulder separation, but I was back on a bike in about a month. The bike was totalled, but rising again

Glad you're ok swampduc!
Sorry to hear about the 1098 though...
I have a base '05 999 biposto. That was the year the put the "s" motor from '03 and '04 in the base model.
It puts out 140hp, and that's plenty for me. [moto]
The stock suspension and brakes work just fine, no complaints, as it's definitely an upgrade from my Monster. Once I get another few months of riding everyday under my seat, then I'll know better if it
really
needs all the shiny stuff. She's a plenty capable bike right out of the box.

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

No shit. My mantra has always been "when too much is just enough".
swampduc, I'm also glad your OK. Diesel, oil and water are nasty shit to run into... oh, I forgot gravel.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
