Hi guys, sold my 1198 a few months ago and was swithering on what to replace it with and have went with the 959. Looking to fit a 1299 system or US 959 when I get the chance. Was out yesterday on it and very happy overall with the bike as a package.
Not particularly mate, before you knew it you would be doing ridiculous speeds. I know the 959 doesn't have the same grunt but haven't found it lacking in slightest. It's a better road bike in my opinion(as sports bikes go) and enjoy having to rev it a bit longer. Still early days though and have only put 200 miles on it since Friday but I love it.
Great bike in my opinion.... more than plenty for a fast road/ track bike, really balanced and usable Nice...
I followed one at Donington on my V4S. Although I had significantly more power, I was no quicker. They seem very sorted bikes .... and quick!!
At least people have stopped 'pulling the trigger' and swerving 'poh/poh and 5-0' .... PS, nice new bike mate, enjoy ...
