Not yet, as it’s going to be a full track conversion I might look for somebody’s garage queen from 2022 or 23, I don’t think there are any differences from 2022 to 2024 other than the livery which I don’t care for and will change anyway, but looking into it.

Since I’m getting the Kramer and won’t be riding the V4 most of this season I have time to take my bike apart, take all the go fast stuff off of it, return it to the numbered V4 25 Anniversario 916 bike I bought it as, sell it for 35k, buy a 22+ V4R with the new software, and put my current suspension and RADE tank/seat, brake setup etc on the newer V4R

Almost all the upgrades to my bike I can switch to a newer V4R

Good plan, I like it!
 
So it turns out that I can use 330mm Sicom rotors and pads on the Kramer that comes with a 290mm rotor. Kramer USA has a spacer for it, and the wheel Kramer uses, the Dymag, uses the same bolt pattern and setup up for the rotors as the KTM 1290 Superduke which is available for Sicom fitment.

A little odd anomaly of both the KTM 8C RC and the Kramer GP2 890RR is that you need a special pin to lift the front end up to put on warmers and they stopped making that pin. Luckily a buddy of mine that has an 8C RC had several of the pins machined and can get me one, or I’d have an issue using tire warmers on the front end.
 
Need a new set of leathers, I’m down to 210 pounds now, from 255 when I started riding the bike and ordered my Dianese custom fit suites…my current suite is so baggy now I’m not even sure the airbag would protect me lol

Call me silly but I don’t want the same black suite everybody has…and I’ll have a blue bike and red bike so here’s the best I could do on VIRCOS design page:

I was talking with a buddy of mine about what I really wanted out of my track experiences.

We were talking about what I wanted out of riding, my 1st knee jerk reaction was, I don’t want the fast guys passing me and turn in respectable lap times that I’m proud of.

But really it’s that I want to get in a state of flow around the track, where I’m going VERY fast, with a kind of easy flow and comfortability in my ability to ride fast and smooth, preferably with my knees and elbows dragging the tarmac haha

I think it’s important to understand your goals and be specific about them.

I went with TechAir but I’ll go with Dainese for the next one as their new airbag stuff allows the user to replace the gas canisters up to three times before it should be checked instead of having to send it back each time it’s gone off.
