Used to run a lot of VP stuff in the old days but unsure how well it fires in these newer engines. The MR12 was top notch choice back then.

Nothing better than the smell of race fuel in the morning!!
Can't recall the name of one brand that when you got a whiff of it from a bike in front of you it was so damn potent you'd literally almost puke in your helmet!!

Syphon it out and put regular gas in the tank after your last race and run the bike around the pits for a bit to burn any left in the fuel
Line. Guys do it all the time in Wera. They run mr12 during the races and at the need of the day you see them running their bike around the pit area with pump gas.

What does your tuner advise? Or are you just dumping it in and running it?
I've run various VP fuels over the years. Never noticed a difference in laptimes between any of them. They did various levels of destruction to my bank account though. However, I did note the following:
MR12 - Big bodied, oaky flavor with a surprisingly jammy finish.
U4.4 - Dry, tart and acidic with herbal flavors as well as tropical fruit.
C12 - Delicate and fresh, very soft tannins with fruity aromas.

This... Have you changed the compression of the bike, have you had the tune changed to reflect the need for different gas? If not, you are wasting money. You will get no benefit, besides the smell of the exhaust, and a lighter pocket book.

It still is.
MR12 is the best race fuel you can get (hence the $135/5gal price).
I run MR12 in the R6 and U4.4 in the 1299S.
