Discuss the differences between piloting an inline-4 vs. and V-twin around a race track.
What are the differences in shift points? Where in the rev range do you shift a twin?
What are the differences in down shifting and engine braking?
I know that the twin should be treated differently, but I've always been an I-4 kind of guy. Even after spending two days at VIR on the SV, I can't say that I know the difference. I felt like I was treating like an I-4. Reving it to the moon and then shifting. I did learn that the twins don't like to be over-reved, and that they are not a fan of sloppy downshifts without rev-matching... especially when the track is damp.
What knowledge can you folks share so that I don't have to learn it all "school-of-hard-knocks"?
