Anyone who wants to race, well, maybe the HP4 is not for you...Go buy a second hand S1RR. Replace the ECU, the suspension, the fairings, the tyres, the wiring loop, the rearsets etc etc etc etc etc etc.

I totally agree. I've done my share of racing. And riding a (suspension) race-tuned bike on the street will have you on the side of the road backing off settings within a few miles. My HP4 will be my street bike where I can make the most of the electronics. It's not to say I won't hit the dragstrip, a standing mile, or track days but my intention isn't to try and "win" anything on it. There are much cheaper and better ways to set up a bike for just the track. I learned a long time ago if you want to make a track bike - don't. Buy one with the stuff already on it and save yourself a ton of money.
I forget who posted it where but maybe in a few years this type of suspension will be the way of things. But I really doubt that will be the case here on the first year. Even club racing M-series cars ditch the electronic struts for coilovers because they are better suited for the track.
