[QUOTE="FORZDA 1, post: 1290184, member: 26637"] LOL, yes am I quite sure... My 1198SP makes 182whp and 105wtq and weighs only 400lbs wet full of fuel, so yes it is quite capable and will indeed wheelie at the 4th gear change. You can lessen/prevent it by getting well up over the fairing/tank, but it's a lot of fun. The engine drops right into the torque peak (8k rpm) and is accelerating like a rocket. I can easily out accelerate any period superbike all the way to ~170 mph. I'm geared just a bit lower for mostly street/backroads riding vs track. The 2011 (Checa's Championship year) WSBK bikes are/were limited in preparation by WSBK rules where my personal bike(s) are only limited by my wallet. My particular bike also has DLC coated valve gear. You won't see that on anything other than maybe another 2011 SP version. The only weak point in the 1198 engine is the crank bearing preload. The factory didn't take the time to set them all up properly. Some of the engines are set up perfectly and some well..., are not. Needless to say mine is literally perfect. My local shop Ducati Master Tech has/had a 2009 1198S that he prepped and my bike still out-powers it by 5-6whp & wtq on the dyno. He did the prep on both engines, so he was real concerned. Mine is much faster than his on the road, but much of that is his higher weight/size compared to me. To your Raptor comment, YES the Advance-Trac system will do unexpected things to thwart your party fun. I've had it shut off the throttle when doing a brake-boost drag launch with traction control off, short button poke. If you're in weather mode and go around a corner a bit to fast, it applies the brakes and cuts throttle to try and straighten it out. To get a really good feel for how the drive modes work, everyone should go and try them all out in several different conditions. Don't go into Baja mode on pavement because it puts you in 4WD HI. If you're going to ask for maximum fun, you need to put it in Sport mode and hold the button until the message comes up the Advance-Trac is OFF. [/QUOTE]
