Talking My 1198

I replaced my GSX-R1000 with a new 1198. I've never owned a non 4-cyl streetbike before and I'm diggin this bike!

Thanks, guys. I love it. I'm so used to the higher RPM to make the big power with an inline 4. It sounds like a sunday cruise when it's pulling like a freight train. I do have it insured and was glad to see my insurance rate go down a bit. So many people have told me that it's too much money for them and it's a waste of money when you can get the Japanese bikes for less. This bike cost me about $3,000 more than my Suzuki and already has great components on it, so I see myself ahead of buying a new Japanese liter bike and modifying it to suit me.

I hope you do her right and ride it north from time to time, where there are actual curves and elevation changes. Shame to banish her to a life in Florida.

For the most part you are right, but there are some nice curves parallel to the rivers and in the orange groves. But Jennings GP is where I prefer to utilize it for track days.

Here are a couple pics of my new exhaust.

Jennings is to flat. We were on some great roads up through Hawk's Nest in New York State.
