Friends 1098s

Well Big K and I's friend just picked up his 1098S This friday. Man all i got to say is WoW.... I thought my bike had wicked power..i was wrong ..that 1098 is just plain sick.. We took it up in the hill's to go ride around ..little rain but we still went... That bike handles like mad..and the brakes are very very sweet... He added pipes and stuff to it ..when i get a chance i will add those pics.. Anyhoot its very late ..i need some sleep Bonkers

I wish I can afford a Duc.....:cry:

Sweet! :dthumb: Was it worth the additional 5K for the Ohlins on the S model?

Sweet! :dthumb: Was it worth the additional 5K for the Ohlins on the S model? Yes.

Yes. What is the waiting time on a 1098? I read on the 1098 forum that some dealers are all out of their 2007 allotment.

What is the waiting time on a 1098? I read on the 1098 forum that some dealers are all out of their 2007 allotment. I think pretty much everyone is out at this point. We're in podunk nowhere and all 11 of ours are sold. I think some of the Cali dealers were sold out already a month ago. I'll bet the early-release 2008 models will be sold out just as fast this summer too. Interesting tidbit: We threw a 1098s on the scales this week, it was 412 lbs. wet. We also weighted a 999s, it was 443 wet.

Yeah rain... ha, that's what you get for going out riding with out me Bonkers. I got to spend some time with Adrian and his new 1098 on Monday. The bike is big, I mean even I fit on it. Bonkers 996 is too small for the Big Kahuna, but the 1098 fits me nice. I haven't ridden it yet, but I'd like to compare it to the new Repsol.

Holy fu*kin' sh*t! Tore up from the floor up! Bike is worthless. Not even worth rebuilding as a track bike.

Bike is worthless. Not even worth rebuilding as a track bike. Hell no. The forks are bent too. I would buy that for 100 bucks, just so I could throw it off a cliff and video tape it.

So, is anyone from central Cali looking to meet up this weekend?

Bike is worthless. Not even worth rebuilding as a track bike. That chit will buff out.

That chit will buff out. :baha:

That chit will buff out. :rofl3: :lols: :slol: :lol:

Okay, jsut got back! Got a cool pic of my buddies 1098!

Okay, jsut got back! Got a cool pic of my buddies 1098! damn that's a sexy bitch!

Okay, jsut got back! Got a cool pic of my buddies 1098! You scum bags. 2 insanely killer bikes in the same shot. I hate you.

Sweet bike. I cant wait to own one.

:skep: You scum bags. 2 insanely killer bikes in the same shot. I hate you. :iagree: :tt: :cursin: :cursin: but :drool:

I saw my first 1098 in person in orange beach alabama I saw a ferrari too in the same day... I saw a b-24 too...:dthumb:

Very sweet, that repsol is very nice too. Its what 15k for the 1098 and 20k for the "S"

Very sweet, that repsol is very nice too. Its what 15k for the 1098 and 20k for the "S" yep and 24K for the Tricolor

yep and 24K for the Tricolor I'll take one of each...

I'll take one of each... If they were free I'd take the tricolor, but since they're not I'll go with the non s version. I dont need the Ohlins. Im not going to track it every weekend.

i'll take the s just to show it...lol... it's funny :scratch: why would they use a 180 then a 190 or what ever,.... maybe cuz of space!?!?!?

My 996 came with a 190 rear ..but the rim is just 5 1/2 so a 180 fits better .. they where just tring to keep up with the jones and run a fater tire like the rest of the bike's out there ..... :bonk:

powerful and handles like a dream

I want a Duc so bad it is definately a dream bike for me....

I want a Duc so bad it is definately a dream bike for me.... One day you will have one grasshopper.....patience

I want a Duc so bad it is definately a dream bike for me.... I'm still waiting for mine in 08 maybe Aug. This will be #3 for me. Nice 92ish vette btw, I have a 96.:cheers:

there's a pretty 1098 a few blocks from my job. she's just sitting there out on the sidewalk of the dealership. I die a little every time i pass by cause god knows i cant afford it.

I have seen 4 very ugly 1098's all smashed to bits from encounters with a very mean dragon. It was like 4 weekends in a row too that 1 went down a weekend. Haven't heard of any recently getting bitten. They all seem to be taking it easy now.

I'm still waiting for mine in 08 maybe Aug. This will be #3 for me. Nice 92ish vette btw, I have a 96.:cheers: Its a 94 thanks for the compliment.... I think my next bike might have to be a Duc

I just read Sport Riders liter bike comparo, and they were pretty down on the 1098. I normally brush off bad reviews of euro bikes due to advertising bias, but the 1098's lap times sucked hind tit also. I for one was surprised and disappointed.

Aust Motorcycle News reported the 1098S's times around Eastern Creek as very respectable. The S also has the datalogging pack, and thats where they took the lap times from! Rumour Alert!! AMCN also reported that 1200cc Twins will be eligible for WSBK in 2008. The article had a PR shot of Troy Bayliss leaning on a 1098, except the sticker said 1198. An extra 100cc's in 2008/09, anyone??:cheers:
