I wish, I could do so and was also having the same thoughts running through my mind when I was the key in the ignition slot.

I would leave the 1098R for you and would zip away on the black steed right behind.

Thats more of what gets along with my taste buds.

Will be taking delivery of the 2009 Red 1198S in two weeks..

Paid for the bike in Mid Jan, but holded of taking delivery from a dealer abt 300 miles from hometown...

Bike should be still in crate..if not for the snow storm , would have gone to the dealer , and take it out from the crate to get it prepped..

Now will have to wait for 2 more weeks and abt 8 weeks to get it on the road, if the weather gets nice...( I am in north east USA )
