In the next couple months I will build out 2025 V4 and post it in this thread.

Until then I was able to go to Chuckwalla to get 2025 underway, 6 days straight on track. Hudson Valley Motorcycles who I get my bikes from, has Garage Ocho - an amazing built out garage / clubhouse at Chuckwalla and it's the best wintertime riding situation there is. For those who do not know, HVMC is a family dealer that has been around since the 60s run by the Alexander family. Ritchie Alexander is AMA SS champion, currently running Rahal Racing program + Corey Alexander is MA SSTK champion, currently racing for Rahal in SS. I went out the first season they had the garage, before it was built out and that was 3 years ago. Weather was great, no wind issues and perfect temps. I rode a stock 2020 V4S most the time but I got 5 or 6 sessions on a stock 2025 V4S. 2020 had dunlop slicks (hard) + 2025 had oem pirellis. New bike feels like an all new platform, completely different chassis feeling - it's a race bike. The engine is FAST, tank // seat is big difference, brakes are very good. I didnt mess with settings really on either bike, turned to Race setting on both and on 25 chose the B suspension settings cause A felt quite stiff, 20 was race shift pattern, 25 was std. I will post a video below of the 25, was not 100% comfortable on the track yet and was not trying to wring out and wad up brand new bike that was not mine. Track is super fun fast + flowy - not a big bike track and in fact it takes some nuance to wrap your head around how to ride a big bike there. I had an amazing time and highly recommend anyone go out and ride there.

I will pick up the new bike in march some time, should be back on supermoto in march also. Hope you are all getting fired up for upcoming season.
