hey Z, show us that new 1198 of yours.   while your at it lets see the 1098R too!!!!   i love that bike!

I love the 1098R too that is one bad ass bike

Figured I've been away too long from FTR....hope everyone has been having a kick ass summer.  Here are some pix of my 1098R and my custom 1198S.

Huh, all the pix I uploaded didn't come through...so here's one of my R....

Here's one of my 1198S in Track Plastics....probably shows...but painted this scheme myself.  Rode it at Brainerd about 6 weeks ago.

does it wheelie just as good with race plastics?? hehe.

nice job cleanin off the chicken strips too!!

for the record zman let me ride the 1098 up in the rocky mountains and that bike is amazing.  can't wait to try the 11 !

Bad ass bike pics man.  Have always loved the look of the Ducs. 

sweet bike bro! how does it handle? like butter?

Yeah, "Like a big stick of butta"....  The R handles better than the S just cuz it has the TTX rear shock and lighter Magnesium rims.  The S still rocks though all by itself.  I had the S on the track at Brainerd and it was sick!  I'm going to Miller in Salt Lake City next week....taking both bikes : )   I'll compare them on the same track same day same conditions scenario.   Can't wait!!!

that is sooooo awesome brothaZ.... Can't wait to see more sick pics and reports from the track.  I wish i could meet you there, but i'm booked solid.  Heading to cali to ride with my SoCal boys this weekend and work there for the week.

everyone keep your eyes out for the red R1 on one well on the PCH with a blue and white gixxer behind me.  that would be moody. !!!!! hahahaha.

oh yeah and ummmm..... since you are already going to be in salt lake, you might wanna throw your dirtbike in the trailer too, and come down to AZ for some desert ridin, and street ridin with me and BigBusa!!!!   that is if you have extra days.   course then your drive home will be like 25 hours.  /shrug.  would be cool to see you.
