Like LC's and KR1S's they've all been raced :-)
If you do go HP4 then I'd choose the Carbon version but as I stated above make sure it has all the OE parts. The cost to replace HP4 OE items is eye wateringly expensive
It's a tricky question. My mate is thinking about buying a bike after many years since his Fireblade. We did some back to back riding Gen3 (2018 version), KTM RC8, Panigale 995, and R1 4XV. After a...
I'll guess what they will tell you
Trust the electronics
Brake a bit later
Accelerate as soon as you see the exit
Hang off a bit more
Hold the bars loosely and alter your grip to allow you to...
The RST air bag suit is good. I have a jacket for the road, and the pro series for track use. The Pro series is a snug fit when compared to a road going 1 piece suit. I have the RST non airbag...
I'd be contacting HEL or Venhil if I wasn't sure
Cruise control still superfluous. OK if you're sat in the inside lane doing 65mph. But who the heck buys an S1000RR to do that ????
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

Having sorted out the issues with Williams BMW Manchester and my HP4, I decided an upgrade was required. Although the HP4 was a fantastic bike, I had sort of fallen out of love with it. Although it...
Absolutely didn't accept it. More on the story to follow once it's all resolved. To say I'm less than happy with Williams BMW Manchester is an understatement
A slightly different angle, but my HP4 went in for a major service at Williams BMW Manchester. It went in without a clunk, had the fork oil changed and it came out with a clunk and an MOT. They all...
It weighs a ton. Even threading it through each wheel is difficult. It's mighty expensive, but as I lock 4 bikes with it, cost per bike is reasonable

I have 4 bikes chained together with the 4m version. Makes other locks and chains look like a piece of string
Save yourself the hope and effort. I damaged a tyre/wheel in my car in a massive pot hole. Reported it to the council who said there was no such pot hole and I must have damaged the wheel somewhere...
Track days on a big modern 4 stroke. Decent set of tyres, tyre gauge and pack your talent. Jerry can full of E5 as circuit fuel can be a bit pricey/stale. Proper food/water and a chair
Once you are...
Penty - Oh the irony :-)
Cheers - I've not had any email but it's on the NL FB page No Limits Trackdays | Facebook
Is this on the TD organisers web sites or just hearsay ?
Just have them hydro dipped https://www.wrapvehicles.co.uk/wrap-vehicles/hydro-dipping/
Having searched around for a while on the various forums, hearsay, test reviews etc. can anyone confirm if the Euro4 Gen3 (sport) was a step up ready for the gen4/euro5 or is there much difference in...
All I can say is what a bike (again). Just over 100 mile run out. The day started a bit damp and the temp was 2degrees. It didn't get much warmer. It was that horrible drizzle that later turned into...
Use none slip galvanized rubber mat
Personally I'd have all my stuff in boxes I can load/unload quickly
Van is set up with a removable front wheel chock. I only need 1 ratchet strap but I do have a...

I took the HP4 (complete with mirrors and number plate) to Anglesey Circuit - Trac Môn, for a strangely sunny October Track Day. After a few early sessions on the old 4XV R1, until it warmed up a...
