Hey all, I'm having a new-to-me S1000RR delivered today, needless to say I'm ridiculously excited... Anyway, the reason for my thread is that this bike will be track only and in addition to having literally DOUBLE the horsepower of my Hyper, it has a few doodads that I've never had on a bike. Basically I'm curious to get some input from people that have experienced with, first, a bike with this much horsepower at Loudon and Thomson? Second, the new doodads (tech) on this bike include a stock slipper, shift "assist" (quickshifter for upshifts only) and traction control, while I'm excited to have these aides I'm feeling a little apprehensive about getting used to them for the first time on track since I won't be able to cut my teeth on the street.
My plan is to just take it really easy for my first session/trackday/multiple trackdays, it's really all I can do right? And I've run in blue group for a while now, should I drop down for my first trackday?
