That's a really odd spread.
Why not get a 1098 or an F4?

I say get one of each...

They all are tasty choices. Among the five the one interesting me the most is the HP2 Sport. I ride an R1200S and it is one of the finest sporting rides I've ever been on. The HP2 Sport is more of what is already endearing about the R12S.

I am not so experienced bike rider and i think that the 1098 needs experience to ride it. A used F4 is also in my choices. Bimota is my favorite bike brand and the DB7 my dream bike.

848 then.........best choice for you.

Bimota DB7 Tifoso · 11-22-2007, 07:54 AM

That's what i am thinking. And later i am selling it for the Bimota DB7.

Agree with Pete.
The KTM and Aprillia are just as fast or faster than the 1098, and probably more difficult to ride.

Which is the easier to ride, the F4 1000 or the 1098? What about a used F4 750 S? It will be easier to ride than a 848?
