Oh yeah, shit I forgot about that. Yeah I need the V4. Ive been holding out to see what the V4R brings.
I have to keep a Liter bike SS legal because they are already so limited on classes. A Liter Superbike is only good for 2 classes. But SS legal it is good for 3. That's why im leaning towards the Panigale V4S (or R), or the BMW, or maybe the upgraded 2019 ZX10-RR with Titanium ConRods and Marchesini wheels. The only thing is that I hate how wide the ZX10 is in the front (under the clip-ons). It is so damn wide, like the previous generation R1. I hate that. I like a narrow bike, like the R1 or Panigale. That's what I love about the 675R's, they are so narrow.
Cory Call yardsaled one out in AFM. I only heard about it from others that were there, but it sounded like pure carnage.
Saw one of those HP4's at NJMP this year in July at an N2 day. It's a beautiful machine. It's perfect for Broome. No headlights and all race ready to go from the factory. The motors are rated at 215HP stock....but I think one video I watched said that was a low estimate based on the ones they dyno'd. Even the wheels are carbon fiber.....made in house by BMW...they looked at BST wheels and decided they weren't good enough..so BMW did their own. Every 3000 miles, you just go to a BMW authorized dealership and they swap motors for about $10-15000. The V4 Super Leggera Panigale will be an interesting release when it becomes reality, too. I cannot see Ducati NOT producing one. That should be a Monster, too. I'll bet it goes for ~$100K and puts out a minimum 225Hp.
