I did not like the 1198 that I test rode due to its nasty throttle response, which I consider dangerous.
The Ohlins equipped 1098S and now the 1198S sell here for the same price as the HP2S ($35k AUD).
My 07 model with 70mm Termi race exhaust and ECU and other improvements would have set the original owner back at least $42k AUD ($34.5k US). I picked it up in mint condition with 1750 miles for the bargain price of $30k AUD or about $24.5k US.
