Just curious, for those of you that "prefer the torque of the V twin", how often do you pin the throttle just for midrange to utilize "all the torque"? It's not like the v4 has a 600cc torque curve where you'd have to downshift... Just open the throttle slightly more. I know when I do pin the throttle I'm going all the way to redline where the v4 would shine.

That's the point, though, how often are you going to take your V4 to redline on the street? The L twin is a more street friendly powerband imo, it has far more torque below 8k

That's the point. We are talking about under 8k. Just twist the throttle a bit more on the v4?

Anyways, this is all just bench racing talk. We will know soon enough when the v4 gets delivered.

It's not a "bit" more - the V4 (and inline 4s) make their best power well above 8k - great for the track, not as great for the street. Compare the torque curves.

You may be right. Just playing devils advocate here. Would love to try it out for myself when it gets here.

I haven't heard or read a bad thing yet about this bike. All very consistent reviews with same comments of amazement. I'd like to see more "user" reviews as bikes get in private citizen's hands. But what a machine. Gonna give it a year. Had a '12 1199. Never had much luck with first year bikes so I am waiting until 2019. :)

I'd agree. I remember when I still had my zx10r during our group rides, everytime we went to overtake cars or required a twist of the throttle from a cruising speed, the twins (Duc 1098, 1198 and even a multi) all just fired off, while we were waiting for the rpm's to get us up to speed. One of the reason's why I now have a 1299 lol.
 
Riki, por favor, tu sabes que nosotros aqui en EEUU no hablamos espanol. Somos muy lentos y tontos!
Gracias para el video...:eek:
 
Was it me so did it seem like the TC came on a lot. Very early intervention at part throttle just past apex. I didn't check TC setting but looked like a lot of flickering...
