I only have the 1098 and plan on getting the Panigale later on since I learned my lesson by waiting impatiently for the 1098. The following season, FIM approved 1200cc for twins and out came the 1198. SMH!!
The gf gave the thumbs up as long as I take her for a ride up PCH and stop for a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants facing the beach.

Dude, F3!!!
I love Japanese bikes but there is something about those Italians!



Are you talking about the Testastretta Evoluzione or something newer for the 848?
F3 is hot, I would hit it if I'm on the market for middle weight.
Japanese bikes are great, absolutely great, but they lack of "sex" sense in the design. Yamaha managed to make their bikes look fast and aggressive, that's a plus. Though, If I have more disposable income, I would get S1000R before I get one of Japanese bikes. I just like the way BMW make hate-it or love-it design because if you don't have haters, you're doing it wrong.
