Should have just enough power to get you up all those hills in the prairies.

Lmao yah I'm hoping the power is descent.

Whats your grip strength 'cause after 8 grand on the tacho the thing really lights up I have only had my 2018 V4 "S" to 13,000RPM in 2-3-4 and buttoned off due to road conditions or lack there of, but I can tell you hang on for dear life if you don't the bike will probably leave you behind.
I set my DWC at 2 once it was run in I had it set at 4 to begin with during run in now that I am used to the grunt the bike carries the front wheel nicely power wheelies, I mean its putting in standard trim @190RWHP thats more than some contenders have at the crank!!

Grip is fine, but it's been cold and rainy past couple weeks so not like I do anything on the turns anymore. These tires are horrible in the rain when on the sides. I don't know what you mean by the rmp and gears comment. If you're asking what I've gotten the bike up to; no way to tell yet, I haven't used my gps gopro but at over 13k rpm in 6th the tac goes --- but the speed jumps back from --- to 167ish instantly if I roll off at that that rpm. I've seen it read 182 then --- also; the tac just updates too slow. As for DWC, I keep it at 3 majority of the time as I'm used to just wheeling here and there, as the front wheel seems to always lift off even at 8 if I pin the throttle on a straight.

did you not even test ride it?

Snoop I was refering to how much grip strength they had in their hands holding on to the bars. Lol

Welcome to the forum Adam and congrats on the new bike. Is there a certain exhaust system that you are leaning towards?

In all my years in the Duc community, akrapovic has rarely disappointed.

I have the full Akra on three track bikes - 848>1040 (1098 pistons & cylinders), 1199S and V4S.

Awesome kit, truly works of art.

The engineering behind these is under appreciated by the community, not just riders but drivers. The first time I got real insight on a sophisticated system, it was the Lexus LFA.

I’m really leaning toward the termi
