1098S FTW~~

I was looking at one on Monday. There was a 999 handy for comparisons.

It looks smaller than a 999, but but probably only because it's bum is shorter. That shoebox like can on the end of a 999 single seater makes it look longer.

And the tank on the 1098 looks quite long, high and forward.

But it looked smaller than my GSXR, but that wasn't parked very close.

Compared to my GSXR? Dunno. Probably higher. Most things are. compared to the 999? I think higher still. I noticed the frames looked pretty much the same really.

But the overall impression is 'small'. Yam R6 small.

The small amount of oil hanging around between the rear cylinder and what I presume was the top of the gearbox made me smile.

One dumb thing I noticed was that the brake lights are integrated into the tail piece. Now surely one of the cool things about the 999/749 was that you could take off that whole number plate and lights thingy in one easy go... Oh well.

Given its weight the K7 looks on paper and off the dyno to be the one pulling big numbers. Would be good to see how that manifests to actual roll on and track times. R1 also very impressive...
