    Has anyone changed the rear ride height (V4S) to get more front end feel?

    It's probably just me (in my head) but I believe the V4S lacks front tire feel. If you've performed a basic sag you'll know the spring rates on the stock 2018 V4S are completely unsorted (which I hope to address this winter). That being said, one way to get some additional feel is to lower the...

    Pics from last ride

    One of my favorite tracks out there, its tiny and to be honest too small for a 1199r. The track is smooth and has so many variations of turns.

    Converted - First ride

    I’ve been very on the fence and sceptical about the new v4 and have made no excuses for it. My initial reactions to this bike were based mostly around the looks, which I'm still not happy with. There are so many little things that they could of done to iron it out like the clutch cover on the...

Today was nice so I was able to ride 150 miles on my favorite back roads. What a great bike, I like the sound, feel, and torque on the 1299 so much...
