New Bike in the Stable

A proper pic. A little over excited. Humor me, please.

It's really an 1198 without fairings. Rake is more relaxed and frame a bit longer, but same powerplant. Brakes about as good, which means they're great. This S version has traction control which is pretty slick-- 8 settings. But the most incredible thing about the bike is the suspension. The Ohlins front/rear are really remarkable.

Nice - now all you need to do is get a fender eliminator kit to clean up the tail end.
