Unless its with a two times Aussie SBK Champ.......
Queensland Raceway last weekend at the ASBK in ther lunch break, I got to do two laps with Glenn Allerton on a stock HP4 with Supersport spec Pirelli's........acceleration wasnt as violent as the Suzuki Superbike one I did with Gilesy at Phillip Island but it's pretty impressive for a bike you can buy at your local dealer (as long as you dont mind waiting)
Big thanks to Glenn, Wayne Hepburn and the entire Next Gen Motorsports Team

Nice One Phil
Will be interesting to watch the suspension development over all makes since the intro of the HP4!

Did the dash flash warnings before leaving the pits?
Good stuff

It's probably the bike we had for Austest.
They are an absolute weapon. Especially once you get up over 11k
