I have a 22’ V4S right now that I absolutely love. I ride through twisties and canyons only with the track days coming soon. I ordered a V4R 23’ just because I wanted to have something different/ special. In all honesty my plan going forward is to trade the V4S in for the V4R and then purchase a v2 as a dedicated track bike for racing. Here in southern California it seems most racing and tracks here are catered to the V2 and that class. From what I can tell, At least in my area, the V2 is the better track bike and the V4 is a fun / cool bike for streets and occasional track days as opposed to racing. I’d love to have some bigger tracks that cater to the liter class though so I could truly experience the v4.

From my brief test ride of V2 and V4 back to back, the V4 handled better. Seemed more eager to turn. Not sure if it’s the geometries or counter rotating crank. But there’s a reason the 1199/1299/V2 platform hasn’t won a championship.

I think the entire engine is a little left & backwards / counter rotating. Feels like it turns right better than left opposite ever other bike on Earth.
That's way different that just 2 more cylinders.
