New RSV4 Version

It’s a crap engine? I thought it was supposed to have very good drive out of turns.

Obviously the platform hasn’t been developed much for some years. I’ve no idea if the electronics are good or not. I doubt they are up to Ducati’s level but the R1 does seem to be very popular at track days.

Did you watch 2023 Portimao ? When Toprak lost 2 times on drive out of the turn to Bautista ?
Most 2023 ? When Bautista was driving out to a straight much faster than Toprak.

R1 engine hasnt been refreshed in 3-4 years I think.

True, but none of us are racing and none of us are riding like Toprak. Based on the performances I've seen so far we should all be wanting a BMW... I wonder if Bautista would have been doing that last year if he had been carrying the additional weight that is now on the bike.

Not being the best engine doesn't make it crap. It certainly hasn't had any development effort for some time though, as far as I am aware.

Out of interest, has the V4 been developed significantly since it first came out? That's not the start of an argument by the way - it's a question...
 
Its not crap at all. He just has this spergy way of writing were everything is expressed in extremes.

ok if Toprak and Bautista got you into "none of us racing as they are" type of mood, here are some random BSB STK bulletins from 2021 onwards

R1 is dead

It was a good bike in 2019, not anymore, its the future now.
 
More of the same. Unusually impassioned about something that has nothing to do with him.

Where are you on that list? Or anyone on here?

I don't think you meant it's the future...

Look how well Honda do on there... what do we take from that? Ducati are well represented as well. :rolleyes:

You are the one saying it's crap. I suggested that it's probably not.

Why has everything got to be made into an argument?
 
Better track bike is the R1 followed by Fireblade. Best track bike is the GSXR750.

V4 is not a good track bike I’m finding. Too expensive and is too delicate.

My V4 is on its way out the door and will take that $25k and put it towards a “GYTR”-spec R1.

The GSXR750 is one of the best track bikes period but the 959 isnt far off in Ducati world.
The R-1 has a great reputation for being easy to ride fast, good luck.

No one can argue about the GSXR750 but speaking about old tech go ride a 916. Really easy to ride fast. Total confidence inspiring front end. Not much motor so you can just roll it on with your knee barely off the pavement. Twins are more fun to race IMHO.

You totally missed the point there. In one post you wrote:

Only to attack another user two posts later by writing:

I understand why you get this feeling but this is not what happened.

Spooky at least rides the bike and shares his experience. He had some confusion regarding r1 which I gladly cleared up.

The other guy is just a buffon, who doesn't ride anything but speaks like he knows everything. So no harm in showing him his place, isn't it?
 
Spooky and the rest of you lot who think a fancy bike makes you good rider are just a bunch of poseurs. The V4 albeit a great looking bike and technological masterpiece just isn’t a great trackday platform. Too expensive and too delicate. Plus you have to deal with prats like Pantibadboy and Andy. I mean Pani can’t even take his bikes into his home country because he can’t pay the taxes. Can’t be much more of a poseur than that.

Tell me you love Fentanyl without telling me that you love Fentanyl.

It's not about the tax, it's only 7.7% and I paid it in fact.
It's about wasted time at the customs to get a stamp into a Carnet times 2.
3.30hrs to mugello in the normal car one way. Probably 6hrs in the van via customs.

Also, all this loading and unloading is so daunting when you do frequent events. It's fun 2-3 times a year when a track day is a big event, but it's unfun when you have 10 events in 4 months
