Been putting this off as wasn't sure up to now, some of you know I've traded in for an RSV4 rf. No other reason other than I've had a gen1 and gen3 S1000rr since they first came out and fancied a change. Tried the new Gixxa but the demo bike was a bit of a dog, that aside the RR wasn't cheap and the R was too basic needing too much spent to get it up to track spec. The R1 was getting common with my circle of friends and also expensive to get to track spec.
Always fancied a V4 but up til now reliability had been an issue but with present technology the thought process was that they must be better by now so bought new with warranty just in case and as the rf is 90% track ready, not too much extra expense + it was a bloody good deal.
Had to run it in Jan/Feb in the shitty cold weather, never had such big chicken strips !! 1st proper ride was in Almeria, different is an understatement but 4th day started to feel more comfortable so have decided to stick with it if only for the awesome sound.
Will understand if you want to banish me but would like to stay and keep up/contribute with the '19 BM around the corner....
