Davo1972 Posted 5July, 2021 Report Share Posted 5July, 2021 Hey all, I've just joined and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Dave and currently own an MY19 991.2 911 GT3 RS which I bought new around 2 years ago. It's my second Porsche (my first was an MY16 981 Cayman GT4). Looking forward to reading some good posts about Porsches. sjm, Dalai, SteveF and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, the Panigale V4R scares me a bit, 234hp with the racing exhaust and 165kg dry… all I’ll say is thank goodness for the anti wheelie and traction control electronics. The GT3 RS is the safe option 😂 Shedpest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try and even started to get a bike licence but then the rule became I had to buy 2 matching ones (mine and hers) and the whole topic got too hard as parents! Ironically we now road cycle together. Davo1972 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically we now road cycle together. I’ve had a number of motorbikes over the past 28 years. The V4R is frankly the silliest road bike I’ve ever owned. The power is too much for the road, and for my skills too much for the track (I have level 2 California Superbike School training). That said the electronics really do reign in the insanity and help with rideability 😁 The traffic light GP is fun thought, dial up the revs, drop the clutch and go! F me it’s quick.

It is, after all, a homologation bike for World Superbike Racing! 😁 definitely stupid fast for the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
