Sorry I missed you. What level were you doing? I will be back at NJMP when CSS returns in the spring for sure

Level 4 both days. Will have to request the same group next time.

Stay in touch. Depending on the numbers we rent one of the garage spaces and have the coaches come to us. Making the garage a mini private classroom saves time when having to deal with warmers and getting the bikes back up on stands.

I don't possess the appropriate vocabulary to properly describe the HP4R riding experience. That said you'll likely .... yourself engaging first gear. I've been lucky enough to ride it at NJMP and Laguna Seca and each time was an occasion. As a track only machine out of the box it is better than the SL in stock configuration.

We're you at Luguna Seca this June on the HP4R? I had the pleasure of riding one there and I had a blast for sure......

Yes, I was there right after WSBK races. Had the chance to ride the HP4R there. My next outing is this weekend at COTA. The bikes have left by truck as of today and I fly in Friday night. Hoping to get some good photos and footage to share with the forum

Very cool that's when I was there also... We must have ridden together.

Don't hope for good photos. Hope for good weather. I was just there last week and last weekend for work and it was raining and the track was horrible. There isn't great drainage in places and the safety and medical car drivers mentioned to me that it was very slick all the way around.

The current weather report is calling for zero percent chance of rain and warmth. Let's hope it holds.

I can attest.. this is 100% true. The HP4R, hands down, is a superior track weapon to the SL. I've ridden them all, and so far, the HP4R is at the top of the list by a good margin.

@ryanfavro Come say hi @ COTA. We'll be in the Eleven Motorsports garages. I'll be spinning laps on the V4s in L3. Josh Herrin will be hanging out and riding with us on Saturday I think. Should be a good time.

I'm in the Eleven Motorsports garage too. I was going to ship my Speciale but sent my 1199 track bike and SL. See you Saturday!

What specifically would you say makes the HP4R better than the SL? I can't ride either so I need lots of details to live vicariously through you

I am in the same boat ^^^
But spec wise HP4R is closer to WSBK spec. Brakes + swingarm immediately come to mind

Perhaps come up to Toronto. We have Mosport and Calabogie. Both are great circuits.

Hey, I'd be into that, especially if we could swing back-to-back weekends.

It's more likely I'll have to chase you. I'm slow.

Nothing wrong with being careful. Crashes suck. I have no interest in finding my limits.
