Actually, one of the most comfy sportbikes around. Less aggressive than some of the I-4 liters I've owned.

Of all of those, the only one I didnt like was the 1125R and that was because my toe hit the engine case when my foot was on the rear brake.
that's the only prob i've heard about the 1125... access to the rear brake, which is not THAT important to track riding, but a lil more so on normal street riding.

I've also heard that the ergos are a bit better than a typical liter bike... just sitting on it in the show room is hard to tell...

hopefully get a better feel for it soon!!

The 1098 ergo's are nothing to cheer about at slow speed or in a straight line. On the track, it's a completely different story!

Look who made it. Sup, man?

For those who don't know, CW has a 1098 track bike...as well as a 600RR tracked out.

Yeah, I was going to post something on 702 about this place. Not too shabby!

Danny needs to bring his ass over here, considering this is an 848 topic and he has an 848. Did he ride that this weekend or the R6?

He rode the R6. I bet his 848 has less than 200 miles on it.

I will say this: riding a big twin is nothing like riding a I4 600! That's why I'm selling the Honda at the end of the season. No matter how much fun I have on the 600RR, I'm always thinking about the 1098...
