Nearly everyone I talked to about the 1098 says the same thing, just "to much" for the street. What does your girlfriend ride now?
I loved it. The power was amazing and the handling sublime. The sound was like thunder and it was just an amazing piece of kit. But I was unemployed for 6 months and had to sell it. :-(
She had a ZX-6R that threw a rod through the side of the motor on our way up to Deal's Gap... Rolling along at 80mph on the interstate and BAM! Oil and coolant everywhere... 3 large holes in the motor... Apparently it dropped a valve and when the piston hit it, it broke the rod on the big end and threw it through the block. Luckily she didn't go down and got to the side of the road safely. We sold it to my tuner who threw a motor in it and raced WERA last year on it and she went and got a 2011 GSX-R600.
