1299S or 1098R?
- Thread starter pauly
- Start date
Depends on the pilotNo doubt which is the most desirable, but leaving emotion out of it, bog standard, out of the crate which is faster on a track and on the road. I've dared to call into question the judgement of R owners on another forum, and some wanted to fight me.
Everclear on either, I would trounce him on the otherDepends on the pilot

Don’t worry, they might say they want a fight but the reality is they would likely suffer a seizure taking their tank tops off.No doubt which is the most desirable, but leaving emotion out of it, bog standard, out of the crate which is faster on a track and on the road.

What lap times are you achieving?
Never owned a R but I had a standard 1098 and a 1299, the 1299 was a pussy cat in comparison. So easy to ride and forgiving whereas the 1098 was the opposite.
God only knows what the R is like!
@Robarano has a Pani R and a 1098R so he can tell us, Exi has a few R’s as well.
Come to think of it, Exi is a bit of an R’s…
I would say the average rider would be quicker on the Pani due to the electronics/etc.
I, on the other hand would be just as slow on either…

You'll find R owners, of any model, very aloof and they enjoy looking down their noses of mere base and S owners.
And those pesky FE owners….
You will need the circuit too
That's just Ducati owners in general, wankers the lot of em

I find the wealthier people are the worse they are at mastering machinery but obviously exceptions
10 seconds, around my back garden.
Well, I’m skint and slow!
I’d beat him on The Panzer….Everclear on either, I would trounce him on the other

You have an Indy garden, not a full GP.
Leave Exi alone!!
With Larry and Al in the panniers, little Skitz in the top box…Sat backwards?

Yep. All info is helpful.

In my defence I did a similar lap time at cadwell to Trevor Franklin he was a road tester for some magazine and I remember he went round on a zx7r ? And I did on srad about same time fuck knows what it was but I have only done 3 cadwell days and one was short circuit I think it was 1 min 50 from memory and the lap record is about half a day quicker but I honestly believe there was a fast lad inside me…. Right I’m off back t bar
Pleb, if you don't mind kind Sir.

Is there such a thing?
Didn't they SuperStock the 1299 like the 1098R or was it too big
Power is similar with the full fat pipes fitted to the 1098R and I've seen media comparisons saying the trellis frame gives more confident (better) handling.
