Sorry, I can't link it and out of respect for John Ulrich I won't upload it. That said, it's a very good review that breaks everything down from the point of view of someone riding in AMA superbike. If you have a digital subscription you can grab it now off their website.
His comments on how the chassis responds at race pace were interesting, specifically regarding the fact that it needs to be ridden really aggressively to properly load the tires. Also, didn't realize the offset on the R model was different than the S by 5mm and they are still running a longer wheelbase on it.
Other interesting comment was that an ohlins tech at the test did confirm that the electronic suspension would still function if the shim stacks were changed in the forks. The stacks as stock are C3 R3 in the fork and C5 R5 in the shock if anyone cares.
