Jaysus DMNTD! You sure know how to put yourself into a catch-22 doncha?
From what I can recall, seeing that glazed look and drool coming from your mouth when you talk about the 1098, just get it then you know you have done it and just get on with riding it!
You done the jappas thing, time to go euro and get some Eyetie fast love!
And as peeps have said before, you will get both bikes anyway!

It takes balls to post a poll like this without having had a poll on whether to have it or not first...
But I'm tempted to say the R1 - if it's for the track it's not unlikely to get a few scars along the way. What's the difference in retail price? I'm thinking that - if it's not the case from stock - you could make the R1 faster and handle better for the same amount of money as you'd fork out for the 1098...
A hard choice - man I feel sorry for you...:envy:

My .02c worth... R1, chuck a set of Ohlins cartridges and a TTX shock at it, a power commander with a Gary Pendleton custom map, and you'll still have change left over a 1098

Buy the R1 and with the money saved have your toes surgically removed so you can get that corner speed up.....

the 1098s ..hands down mate.
- The bike rides/handles like NOTHING one of the 4 jappers can come close to, even if you put ohlins all through it,, then add the brembo stopping power. The ride set up (frame. telemetry etc etc is just far superio)
- The parts, surprisingly enough considering magnesium, carbon, blah blah blah are cheaper in most parts than the jappers... ask Ivica.
- You might be able to keep up on the Duck
Do it.. serious!

Ease up and check out the '09 R1 when it surfaces, being the next model cycle and all...
Has left the building
Cheeky bastards! Yeah I'm leaning towards the R1 at this stage mainly due to the fact that I know I'd still be 10G under the price of a 1098S with exhaust etc. I mean lets face it...I will bin.
Yes I have riden the 1098 and do love its ride but tbh I don't want to wreck one...and Im waiting for the 1098R
