It's good. I miss my 1098 a lot and I really haven't been riding the pani as much. I thought it would be more comfortable heat wise because the exhaust is routed under the body, but it's just as bad as the 1098, but lacks a lot of the character the 1098 has (not starting on the first try, engine vibrations at low RPMs,etc). I'm getting rid of it soon. And the Mustang. And the Nova lol
