I took out the 1098S for ride after work for a little while and it felt nice, it felt a little smoother and I wasn’t sure about the heat shields but in time I will know how they operate. The levers are fantastic since they are easier, but I think I have to get used to the new clutch lever. I really like the sound of the racing clutch but I want to get a different cover for it. Overall I really like the look of Pyro right now, just a few more carbon fiber pieces and I am there, but I can’t complain and I love this bike.
