I rode the frau's V2 at Inde yesterday. The V2 which is pretty much stock was interesting to ride after a handful of laps on the V4S. It is a must to keep in in the higher RPM's for good power but does turn and change lines quite easy and wasn't a bad bike to ride fast. It does remind me of my 1199 a bit without the bucking a snorting and tractor-like behavior down low.
