Great pics and nice bike Shad. You went to Garmisch with Alan and the boys?

Not so sure about that Powders, Kearys and Duffys Motorads are doing lots of PCPs this year

How do the modes translate into reality on the HP4 Adrian? Sport, lots of intervention? Race, little? Slick, none? Interested in your experience to help me understand what is and isn't possible. Thanks!

*waves from Cork :-)

Has anyone installed one of the ICR blippers? Seems like it would be ace on the HP4.

Thats great to know, thanks! They obviously arent perfect as said above, its such a pain we have to cover every single angle (locks, alarms, trackers, parking locations) just to give ourselves least possible chance of theft and even then we still cant rest easy. The joys of having nice things! :-)

Im not as concerned about joyride thefts as I am about the bike being lifted and put in a van, never to be seen again, either dismantled for parts or exported in a container. Either way, Im really interested in trackers, but have a huge question about their ability to get a position from inside...

Mint!

@Loupe Epic road that one. Worth the journey from Cork alone! :-)

Just discovered I didn't lose it, I had forgotten it was part of the Owners Manual, the last few pages. Spent a day looking for a book that was a figment of my imagination! :-) Cheers Jimmy, you're right and I would have done it, but if I had to buy one it would have been good to spend a more...

Hi folks, I have lost my service logbook and want to get a new blank one and get it all filled out and stamped as per the dealer history. Does anyone know the best place to get one? (My local dealer in Ireland wants ?40!!)

As it is now an option on the S1000rr, I wonder if this will also now be available in Race mode on the HP4 instead of just Sport mode as it has been to date?

I got a set from theretrofitsource.com in the U.S. 4 years ago, transferred them to the new bike. Never an issue, superb light and the retrofit guys really know their stuff and offer good advice and high quality product IMO.

I went from 09 ABS Blade to 13 HP4. To me its a better bike everywhere. Handling, power, electronics, looks (subjective I know), mid range (feels like my old K5), brakes. Its as comfortable as the Blade too. The Blade was brilliant, I loved it, incredibly clever design made it simple and superb...

Hi. Not sure on the specifics of the seat but I have brought Kreiga US20 to Spain and Scotland on the back of a fireblade with only 2 straps lopped under the seat. Bulletproof! :-) Not sure if this helps! :-/

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the insight and experience it really does give me more confidence to play about. I promise to try harder! :-)

I've only had it a a month or two and havent ridden it much yet due to work (and an uninsured Lithuanian dude pulling out in front of me and helping me drive into his drivers door on my 2nd spin on the bike :-D ). And youre bang on, I totally need to man up and make the most of it, but I dont...

LMAO!!! Yep, Ill try to avoid that so! :-D Thanks everyone, those viewpoints really help! Im not scared of falling off at relatively low speeds, I just dont want to bin the bike!

Hi everyone, I have recently got a HP4 and ride almost always in Sport mode on the roads. I have never wheelied, always too scared of binning it. I have experienced what seems like a lot of front wheel lift when giving it the beans in low gears, I quickly roll off, petrified, and then roll back...

Ha, thanks Jimmy! (Love the plate! :-) )
