Doesn't really matter how it goes on the track and especially in SBK where there is a plethora of customisation. Its the combination of on the road and the amateur track day with a stock bike is where I make my analysis, as the majority of my riding is through twisty mountain stretches and the highways getting there.
Sure these are superbikes we're talking about and track performance is great for bragging rights. But if you buy with your head, there should be much more to it than SBK results for a guy riding one on the street.
The R1 for example is a terrific track bike, but very harsh on the road.
The ZX-10 is the king of most circuit racing events. Again its nothing special on the road.
1299 is light weight and awesome on track. Great to look at, but absolutely rubbish to live with though.
Main reason I bought a RR was because I wanted a new sports bike with bullshit power, but some toys too. To be absolutely honest it was cruise control that sold me on getting a RR. I was going to get an R before the 15 RR got the upgraded toys. Why? Because I ride alot of KM and I was over shitty throttle locks when all my mates had bikes with proper cruise. The DDC, down shift blipper, heated grips etc made it a no brainer for me. Fast forward two years and everyone has released new bikes, yet no one has matched BMW for features in the superbike segment, yet they have the balls to touch on asking BMW money
