Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new steed!
+1 what do you think of the RR in relation to the RSV4, I'm sure we'd all be very interested to hear your feedback
.Thanks for the welcome guys,
I haven't run the rr in yet so it's still limited to 9k but I had the demo bike out for a full day. My rsv4 was a 2014 model, straight away the power difference is noticeable the rsv4 just didn't have that top end rush I get with the bmw and even though I spent a lot of money upgrading the rsv4 the bmw just feels more refined and is definitely a better road bike, it's hard to knock the ape as it's an awesome bike and once set up correctly it handles like its on rails and has a predictable power delivery all through the rev range and is an absolute beast on the track but since I haven't properly set up the bmw or took it to the track I can't make too much of a comparison yet, I did look at the 2017 rsv4 but I after taking the bmw it just felt a better connection to the bike and it was 5 grand cheaper ��, I did also take an r1 and the new gsxr out before making my purchase.

Hi Stuart, I really liked the look of the blade and heard good things about it but the local Honda dealership left a bad impression when I tried to test ride it, so I didn't bother and just left, shame because the SP version looked amazing.
