Well ........... I was right about one thing. The V4 is not enough for me to trade in my current R.

However, I have to eat my words again. The V4's a nice bike man. As in I was impressed, I like it. I'm small too and the seating position for me was great. The tank is massive but when you get your head round that it's not intrusive. The weather wasn't great and the pre delivery checks hadn't been done on the demo bike, but I will be test riding Friday if it's okay.

So I've been going on about a lot I didn't like, but there's more that I do like. It was actually growing on me as I was going round it.

So I may have an order in for a V4S to sit along side the R.......... I haven't told the wife yet!!!

Didn't know Seastar were allowing test rides yet. Did you manage to get one?
 
Awesome video. I like how they took artistic license and have two different bikes but they made some good entertainment and a useful review.

I would of been able to last Friday, but the roads around my way weren't great. I will be over there again Friday this week with the idea being I ride over on the R. I really need a back to back test if that makes sense rather than drive the car over and test.

No way we would actually ask a customer to send their V4 S out on the track for our benefit. I couldn't replace it for 2 months if something were to happen.

Of course. That goes without saying. The whole thing was artfully staged and great entertainment.

I would have liked to have seen it out at Yas Marina, though. :) It's my favorite track in the world.

I'm sure we will end up with some riders on YMC soon enough.
 
Well this was actually my bike, and i'm the guy in the red shirt talking about it. If you look you can see mine has a fender removal kit fitted and the bike he is riding has the stock attachment.

There was no way I was going to let someone else out on my bike lol
 
Definitely the latter, he talked a big game but his performance on track was disappointing to see....
