Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Redd have a 1098 I know she has a blackbird but I could have sworn in that stable of bikes there was a 1098 if so maybe we can get her to give us a honest opinion of how the bike handles in real world conditions or at lease to brag a little LOL
Thanks for remembering Hardcorp! I have a yellow Base. Actually just took in into the dealer yesterday to get some warranty work done.

That bike is a monster. Its a bottomless pit of torque. The bike is amazingly light. Very reactive and flickable. I cant help myself to giggle my *** off everytime I take it for a ride, smiling in my helmet the whole time. Its a very aggresive riding position. most men I talk to that have one tell me that its a ball breaker. The Seat/tank combo makes it hard on the "boys". Its hard to keep the front wheel down, the bike wants to fly.

Sounds like a fun yet painful bike LOL! I would love to have a bike that stood up on call like that. I'm not a stunt rider, but like a wheelie from time to time and with the F4 I kinda have to work for it. A buddy of mine just got a 06 GSX-R 1K and it stands up on call.

WOW! if look could kill that bike would be illegal LOL! I like it alot, but would never pay that much for a bike. So is the dude cool who owns it?
The guy was actually pretty chill. He let me get on her, push it around, and hepointed out the dislikes of the bike. He rides hergently but will open her up on theHighway from time to time (Even admitted that will probably catch up to him). He has another bike for the agressive riding.We exchanged numbers and we'll be riding together when I'm back up. He only lives half a mile from my place and offered his garage if I needed a place to work on my bike.

My Dad's got one that i ocasionally get to take out. and Redd hit it right on... non stop **** eating grin under the helmet. and yes, it is rather rough on the *****. Although he just got a new sargent seat and that makes a WORLD of difference. It's an amazing machine. I got to ride an MV Agusta right after the 1098, and i would take the 1098 all day long. it is a very ride-able bike where as the MV takes any little mistake you make, amplifies it, then throws it back in your face.
