He's good to go of, he tells it how it is.
Buy a BMW S1000rr and dyno please thanks...Ride it...Only a Dyno number..
Here we go again
Old news....
My problem is are you getting what you payed for... That is all.
The rest is politics.
Well i missed that thread sorry BRO.Why not both?
Decent weight save after the full akra! Notbad at all.
As long as you're getting what you PAYED for..
Well yeh lol.
My First trip to phillip island, my friend on his 250 was destroying guys on r6's etc who had no clue how to ride, obviously on the straight he was getting obliterated but once the turns started that was it.. But thats why you do a track day, to learn.
If people think buying a litre bike means you smoke everything on a circuit, well they're in for a rude wake up call.
Talent> everything else.

Exactly.
My current rides weighs 363lbs and has 190hp and 102 tq. I don't think I would be any faster on the V4R. I do think though that I could do more consistent fast laps on the V4R though. I have ridden the V4 and as far as the amount of effort it takes to go fast on that bike is SO much less than it is on the V2.
Now on a personal level. I am 51. Been racing/riding for the better part of 38 years. For ME. I just like how the V2 made be feel after I was done racing it on track. I feel like a "Holy Balls that was fun!!!" The V4R "well that's nice, feels just like an electric motor (smooth and linear. Just like a BMW, Honda or Kawasaki)"
Just make sure your ambition does not outweigh your talent
Best quote that i originally heard from casey stoner, i use it all the time lol.
Killer picture, love it.
More precisely he's being beaten by the package and I concede of which the more important part is the rider (Bautista). The package is well put together and fits like a glove. Best bike with the best rider.
I know some folks were a little upset with the Dyno numbers produced so far from the 2019 Panigale V4R.
They are in line with the Crank to Rear Wheel margins of 12% to 15%.
Here is another Dyno Run of the V4R at Motorcycle Mall In Belleville, N.J. if interested.
Different Dyno, Different Day, Different Temperature/Humidity, Different Conditions, Different Break in mileage, produce different results.

I would guess most will be from 200-205 Hp with the full Akro exhaust, the numbers above are very impressive... Like stated, all dynos are different.. I will judge mine on how many Race wins and podiums I get this season!!

My 1299 FE delivers 187 HP at the wheel.
I was told there is 12 % loss, which would make exactly the claimed 209 HP.
When I consider 15 % loss, my FE would deliver 215 HP at the crankshaft.
So either way, mine seems to be in good shape and compared to the latest and greatest piece of craftsmanship from Ducati I'm pretty happy with my bike and its performance as my bike is not too far away and even lighter, I guess.
And mine has more torque.
Note: My Bike is stock Euro 4.
HOWEVER, I would love to own a V4R, too...

A dyno shoot out between a V4 and a V4R.
Looks like that V4 Speciale is making less power than it was when 650ib owned it, as I'm sure he pulled 198hp or 199hp on that bike when he owned it?
The difference in power delivery just confirms that the V4 is a far more suitable street bike than the V4R.

Awesome start to the season, mine starts at the end of April At Thunderbolt.. I'm missing this coming Race At CMP because my V4R Race build is not done yet.. Keep us posted on your season and I will do the same.
