Chris ignore the negative comments, build the bike you want and use it however you feel like. The V4 is a good track bike, you dont have to use full power, short shift until you get comfortable or create a setup map that works for you. The big downside of the V4 is that its expensive compared to a garden variety gixxer otherwise its all good.
For sure. There's a couple of people on here you just need to just block. It's kind of sad, really.
Yeah, I hopefully didn't seem dismissive in my comment. If you want to upgrade some stuff, go for it. It's always fun to make badass upgrades, if you can throw the money at it. We all do upgrades in life that aren't "necessary."
I was just adding some input that the bikes these days, particularly these new Panigales, come equipped so good out of the factory, that you can really push them far hard, and progress your riding, with minimal upgrades. The brakes on that bike are awesome. But if you want something cooler, fair enough!
What I will also add, that I did not see in your descriptions, is to get a tune / flash. I do this on every bike that I own - street or race. The bikes come tuned from the factory so horribly these days to please emissions requirements that
none of them run well out of the gate. If you're looking at a full exhaust, this will be necessary. A custom dyno is always best, but I've had really good experiences with "out of the box" tunes for street / casual track riding. You just need to get it close. As it comes from the factory, it's a mile off. When I first got my V2, and rode it on the street, it was almost dangerous how jerky and odd it was in the mid range.
