Indeed, although that works both ways. It would be surprising if the practice bikes were completely standard though - you’d expect maybe brakes, pads, exhaust, tyres and suspension at least. You’d also expect the best riders in the world to be able to put in good lap times on them. Great marketing for Ducati to say that a production bike is that quick though, regardless of whether or not it’s had some perhaps minor fettling.

Just had a look at some videos from 2021 with the Ducati guys training on the V4S - certainly not using dynamic suspension as there are no wires going into the top of the forks. 🤣

Look at the rear tire. Has less psi than my latte when cold. More deformed than a pissed willy after 3 shandys. Looks like it's breaking the bead at the rim.
Must be photo shopped mates. Tires softer than a 90 year old todger after the polar bear plunge in the North Sea in January!!!
 
.... me I can't believe that I was wrong, and after all these years of being so right too! So it wasn't a stock bike, it actually had some of Andy's bling including a special 3 header Moto2 pipe with an afterburner air intake, and V4R fork internals OMFG! Moto 2 brakes as well. That explains EVERYTHING and why a V4s can lap with a few seconds of a MotoGP bike at Portimao Must be the finned calipers, no it's the triple header exhaust, no its the R cartridges.... I need the bling real bad now, I'll be up there with Pecco if only I had the bling. Andy was right all along

Nope it's about corner speed. An extra 100 HP (125?) only gets Pecco 2.8 secs on that track. And whatever that is V4 r/s (probably with the Pecco maps) is heavier too. Take away any long straights and the number gets smaller.

This ^^^

100 hp, losing 50lbs, MotoGP electronics, and MotoGP rubber only nets a few seconds a lap over a bone stock pv4.

Lmfao.
 
Okay back to our bikes…

BooooHoooo

I ordered the Racetorx gear shifter support bracket, went to put it on tonight but unfortunately it doesn’t fit with my Oberon Clutch Slave and my MotoCorse rearset support bracket.

The racetorx bracket is more beefy than stock and so is the MotoCorse stuff in black below, so they meet in the middle. I could do some dremelling and make it work but the the clutch slave I have still interferes with where the top of the racetorx bracket needs to connect.

I just added that bling to mine… didn’t fit with my spider bling rearsets support
It required a bit of shaping to the rearset

Honestly I feel ashamed with this bling 🤷🏼‍♂️
