Exactly that. It’s not VVT, it’s a dodge. I bet it’s worrisome on the road... but we’ll see!
New 2019 BMW S1000RR: Rumour, Gossip and Intrigue...

Help Support S1000RR FORUM:
Some of the reviews I read of the tech recently on the GS were that actually you couldn?t really tell, just a bit more power and... it worked. Have to see what it?s like on the more aggressive RR thou...
I’m a big fan of the technology Suzuki have used on the latest GSXR, makes sense, and nobody else is doing it, yet. The next step is ECU control, not passive as Alex said. But, let’s face it, there’s no future in IC engines, they’ll be off limits in the next decade! Fill your boots and enjoy while you can.
I tend to agree although whether there'll be the infrastructure to support electric powered vehicles outside of 1st world countries within 10 years remain to be seen. In the mean time I'll enjoy my polluting bike and resign myself to a tree hugging car next time I change!
There's probably a world wide patent on the Suzuki system preventing copying for now.

Suzuki could also a patent a carbon fibre harness for a horse and cart.

Or those that don't want to do the Hendon Shuffle (or somehow manage to struggle with it).
I was all but decided to trade my 2015 RR (with more power and handling than I'll ever be able to use on the road) for the Gen4 (with even more power and handling than my current RR), at not insignificant cost, but am now suffering from range anxiety. Hopefully the lighter weight and ShiftCam will allow for the same or better range from the smaller tank.

The aim was 215ps at the crank from industry insiders. If the achieved that it would make for 204-207 at the wheel...

Question on the seat height options - the sub frame will not change - the plastic seat plate (probably) wont change - so the extra seat height will come from extra padding? just like the comfort seat they do for the current RR? While this is probably more comfortable for the backside it will load up the wrists more?
