It was the 1098 we were comparing to the RSV4, not that there's much difference; I do prefer the RSV4.

RSV4 > 1098/1198 > 999

The 1098 and 1198 are the same model bike, like 08 R1 to 12 R1, the shape and fairings are exactly the same. Obviously the only reason for the name change was because they had to reflect the cc's. Which was why I said shape.

Anyway the whole point of the above was that everyone has different tastes. 999's are fine enough bikes.

Blahblahblahblahblahblahblah..... Anyway.

Used to have dealers buy cars for me at the auctions and yes, they do go for substantially less than private sale. But substantial being enough to make a tidy profit on the vehicle, not a ridiculous margin. Don't doubt the real bargains happen from time to time with no reserve auctions, but finding it difficult to believe that a 20k-25k bike in near new condition would sell for 8k, even at dealer auctions. I'd wanna see the papers!

yeh thats right.

but you have to understand that these auctions are to recoup what funds havent been paid back yet. whatever is left owing(shortfall) is still up to the resoponsibility of debtor.

and the bike wasnt sold in the bike auctions you get, its sold as mortgagee. + in this case it was combined finance with a SL65 which pretty much paid for the rest of the contract, so the bike didnt really matter to us lol

plus the bike was a debt write off as provision without asset that we later found through our repo agents. so no reserve was set on the bike, and boss's didnt seem to care much about the bike.

trust me i'de show you invoices but on a scale, keeping my job - by far - outweighs trying to prove my point to you lol

Yes I said "not that there's much difference". FYI 09-12 R1 are the same, 07 and 08 have the previous shape and engine. Not complaining about Martin's taste, just offering him a flame suit for his self prophesised flaming.

Sif your job outweighs proving a point to me. I know what lengths you'd go to...long...lengths...

What I meant was 1098 to 1198 is like 07-08 R1 to 09 onwards R1. Superseded model although only real difference was the cc increase therefore when speaking about the shape, which hasn't changed, it's essentially the same bike.

Prove Birdman wrong Aaron!

You can do it!

You can be the man that proved him wrong!

There can be only one...

These are getting cheap

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
