Would you choose a V4R or SP2 for trackday use?

To my understanding , both behave like a 15 weight oil at cold temps.

15-50 behaves like a 50wt at operating temp.

15-40 behaves like a 40wt at operating temp.

So the 15-50 maintains greater viscosity at operating temperature (i.e. thins less as it warms).

The 15-40 isn’t “thicker”.

Meant 10-40, sorry
 
He’s in the UK - awful roads, cameras everywhere… it’s not great. Thankfully I’m no longer there and now live one hour from Most (current WSBK venue) and two hours from Brno (former, and hopefully again quite soon, MotoGP circuit).

There are some good roads around here but I don’t have a load of endless canyon roads within ten minutes - if I did I might spend more time on the road. 🤣

That being said, there are no cars on the track and everything’s going in the same direction, with consequences of crashes perhaps not quite so bad as on a road.

You have nice brothels there too

I live about 2 miles from the base of the eastern slope of the Sierra's. When the snow's melted I'm about 20 minutes to one of the passes (it's about 30 miles long). I zigzag and can go over 3 in a day ride. All awesome. The best place to ride in the world is the american west. Thousands and thousands of miles of twisty secondary roads. In Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, the Dakota's and most of Colorado you couldn't find a cop let alone a camera to save your life. And since they finally passed the infrastructure here they've all been repaved. Repaved not patched. Ah...
 
The SP2 seating is a bit higher than the R as well. For track i prefer the SP2 over the R. Flashed the sp2 to rev a bit higher and more linear and it was just as smooth. The ones that struggle to understand the value of the SP2 bike are the ones who have the base model. So just ignore them hahah
