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 Superseded model although only real difference was the cc increase therefore when speaking about the shape, which hasn't changed, it's essentially the same bike.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

    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
