you kidding right ?

Did you watch WSBK first race ? 2 years old bike with SSSA has won top 6 places.

Those are custom made swingarms made by Pierobon, they don't have much in common with the stock swing arm. If SSSA were better they would run them on the GP bikes.

Let us try to keep this discussion to Panigale V4. Personally I am not thrilled with the looks but it's clearly a big leap forward in performance.

Ducati relying on electronics could bite them in the butt. Like Josh Brookes said that it’s kind of a bandaid. Fortunately, Ducati has good electronics engineers in WSBK to tame the bike. Not so much in BSB. You don’t hear of any tests or reviews talking about how easy the new V4 is without electronics

Yep. When sorted more load on the front. CG moves forward. It'll be faster in the end.

For racing, the standard swing arm is superior because you can change gearing without affecting the ride height. And then that has a cascading effect on trail, swing arm length, CG and handling.

Ok. But CG forward allows more trail so you can get the front loaded with the bike less twitchy.

Everything is adjustable and custom made on a WSBK, and is adjusted for the riders riding style. Triples, frame bushings, swing arms, fuel tanks, shock linkage, everything, only the frame and engines cases are stock.

You clearly didnt listen to what he said in full.

He also said that BMW M/S1000RR Gen4 platforms are developed in a way where electronics is an integral part of the package.

Thats why BMW suck so bad in BSB. But at the same time, they are fine at Isle of Man TT with exactly the same rider.

You take one part of the package away and the whole thing becomes mediocre.
