Guess what I’m holding in my hands? =) it will be going on this week sometime. I have the full Akro exhaust standing by. Had to go pick up torx bits and 12 point sockets for that fun job. Woot woot!

Order a stripped down version, it will save you $3k. I love the 23, very refunded bike and quite a bit better than my 21 R1. I chose the 23 primarily because of the new profile, balanced look and performance improvements over the previous gen and 22 model (rpm flat-spot). 👍👍

It was just about 2 months, you are almost there..

After tax and all doc fees it was $20,200

You could ride that bike now if you wanted to. It’s one of the easiest handling bikes out there and yes, the modes do dull down the power across the power band. The other thing is that if you are going to buy brand new, they have those thugs restricted to about 6500 rpm for engine break in. That period will give you plenty of time to get used to how it handles before opening it up. Also, the powerband on thr s1k is very linear which is a positive thing IMO. At the end of the day, it’s now about how fast the bike is, it’s how you control yourself. 🤙

@@MotoMaximus thanks for the advice! 🙏🏾. I hope to get the 2024 S1k with the M package. You may not like the graphics, but I do😆

@@tiger2q For sure! Now just gotta sit back and wait to see what 2024 will look like.

@@MotoMaximus it’s already up on their website

@@tiger2q oh look at that! looks good to me…

Awesome! I just found out that the dealer must unlock the ecu BEFORE you can do the tune, otherwise you will void warranty. I have been trying to rack up miles to get to 600 miles asap so I can go get that done. 👍

@@MotoMaximus I asked my dealer about voiding the warranty with the tune and they told me yes only “if they find out”. The stage 1 has the option for the velocity stacks and relocation kit for some temperature gauge.

thanks! It took about 3 weeks between leaving the originating port to the dealership.. Hang in there! 👍

It’s an excellent bike, you will not be disappointed. Only one problem - you may end up riding it more than others =)

RR is way lighter and faster… very different riding styles and riding positions too

Never have, no.

Ya I think you can replace the existing combo switch to the one that has cruise control built in. The ECU is already programmed for it, so it would be one of those things you enable. I’m sure the same applies for heated grips. Plug and play.

@MotoMaximus that would be nice! Y'all should do a video on that because I don't think I've seem a video on that being switched out

Yes, this is pretty much the base model. I wanted it bare without all the extra electronics. The only thing I added was TPMS.

Haha thanks man - it’s a fun one

It looks better to me because the giant RR lettering is not there on one side only. That’s MY opinion. Everyone is open to theirs. Also, I’m not a fan of flat red unless it’s a Ducati. White is out of question where I live because it will look like shot after a 10 minute ride due to all of the bugs we get here. So there, that’s my personal feedback.
