Just sold my 998S Final Edition... but it is not over!

Hello,

In 1995 or 1996, I bought my first 916. It was a dream come true and had different models 9xx up to the 998S Final Edition.

I took this bike to replace my 998 as I couldn't get used to the 999. I thought better buy this one before they do something more ugly (sorry, just a personal opinion).

Then, the 1098 came in and again, I wanted it just like you want an ice scream when you spent a day under the sun.

So I bought the 1098S thinking I might continue to drive the two bikes from one day to another.

However, after 12 months, I realized this wasn't that nice as those two bikes are quiet different to drive (brakes!) and couldn't make my mind on which one to take when I wanted to do a ride (I know, life is complicated).

So, I finally decided to sell my 998S Final Edition and honestly, I felt a bit sad while the buyer was putting it in its truck.

But no fear, the 1098S is not alone... some horses are beside her:




Let's see if the 1198S comes out in 2009 or 2010...

I used to have a 748R and to see the old and new shapes side by side makes me glad I made the change. The 1098 looks heaps better I recon plus the improved brakes power and handle seal it for me hands down. Good bye 998, hello 1098. Good choice.
