No need to apologise however a bike with electronic suspension is much better on the road than one without.

I had a 2020 V4R which I used on the road for a very short while and it was awful on the road. I have a 24 V4R which I managed 60 miles run in on the road on stock setup which is a lot softer than I have set up for racing and it was still awful so no need to let me know ;) The R is a track focused bike pure and simple. Also, if you have the R get the Evo3 software if you use it hard as it’s a game changer ;) Stops it spinning so much on corner exit on hard throttle.
 
I have the 23 R. Raced Pro for 15 seasons over 4 decades. Got the suspension tuned by a pro. Added a bunch of rear spring for my 200 lb with gear. Lengthened the wheelbase, chain, Evo3 SW, Sweet ride! I would ride it in the northern Cali canyons, not much where I live. Ready to race machine. R is a step up for tracking. The R just does everything a little better, easier. Either bike is amazing for an expert rider to enjoy!

I'm sorry but electronic suspension is a load of crap. I turned mine off on my V4s as I had it set up by a professional Ohlins dealership as how on earth can an electronic suspension be aware and supposedly react to the road when it doesn't know what's coming? Get the suspension set up by an expert and your bike will handle like you never knew it could. Honestly I swear by it. As for riding my V4r on the road, its only done 1 mile so I'll let you know what its like after I have had it professionally set up for my weight and let you know but I'm pretty sure it'll be the absolute dog's boll*cks!!

The 22-24 S and 23+R have the same fork cartridges (NPX) so damping performance should be the same. Have you ridden the NPX/EC 2.0? It’s noticeably different from the 19-21 at least on the road. EC 2.0 seems to be less abrupt changes. The 25 S has NPX/EC 3.0 which has spool valving which is even allegedly better as it can make damping changes even quicker.

I’ve tracked multiple bikes with Ohlins manual (NIX conversions) and the 22 S NPX is better.

But again it’s going to be super subjective.

Disagree about the electronic suspension being a load of crap. It’s also handy on the road to be able to switch between different modes and instantly get a different suspension set up.
