MV Agusta F4 and F4RR

Hey xFactory, I did not record my lap times nor did the MV guys when I asked them. But next time I will bring along a lap timer just for good measure because I am curious now too. My good pal and ripper Jeremy Toye was doing 1'25-26s on that motorcycle which is pretty good for a bone stock street bike. I assume I was probably four or five seconds off of him. I wasn't really pushing that hard for an entire lap. Instead I was just giving er' some heat it in certain segments of the track to see how the bike reacted. I will try and record and post lap times next time. Thanks for your input. Adam 25 to 26's to be honest is a bit disappointing to me. I'm sure the bike makes more than 109hp at the wheel. I was at Willow 2 years ago watching 2 kids (16years old) run their R6's there for the very first time on the bike track and both ran mid 1:24's. I was hoping that 1000 especially with Toye on it run quicker that a near stock R6. Maybe next time out it'll be different. I think posting times going forward would be good for us hard core ol farts. Cheers Xfactory.he message here is that there are so MANY variables that it's pointless to talk about the laptimes. I wonder if the new electronics hardware can be installed on the old bikes? What, nothing whatsoever to make all this new gear backwards-compatible with the older $26K bikes? I read this and I say the same thing that I said about the S1000RR. This is not a good thing. This just gives the rider more settings to play with and more settings to be disappointed with and complain about instead of simply riding the bike. Rather than having 50000 settings in the electronics it needs maybe two settings, at most, that are user-tunable. I'm not even sure it makes sense to have 22 different settings for damping adjustments. You spend more time tweaking the bike than riding it, then conditions change and all your adjustments need to be tweaked again....the thing that has always intrigued me about motorcycles, combined with the concept of track-testing...how easy it is to destroy a motorcycle just by running off-road combined with the price of a bike...that requires a new term other than "astronomically nonsensical". Running a car off-track can easily result in its destruction as well. But bikes...ah...it's like letting a bull loose in a china shop. So let's talk about lap-times...what else is the Internet good for? LOL "His test was brought to a premature end when he suffered a relatively minor crash. Reports say that the bike was damaged too badly to be repaired at the track. That phrase is usually something of a euphemism: in this case, it means the bike caught fire and burned itself to a crisp."
