I tracked my S4 all year, and I loved every minute. But i have to admit, I never pushed really hard because the thought of crashing my street bike was always in the back of my head.

I feel the S4 is a good track bike...but the turn-in always felt a little slow...probably the tires. What suspension settings were you running and how big of a guy are you?

Awesome to hear you were lighting up the track on the S4!
I weigh 155 in my Fruit-Of-The-Looms.
I had the suspension settings set to the the user manual recommended settings for sport riding.

I find the turn-in to be faster than an R6 with the 120/65 series front, but lazier than full race bikes. I like the turn in kind of slow because I brake in deep sometimes covering the rear brake, and if the steering is too quick the back end can come around in a most unpleasant way.

I never felt out of shape or out of control during the day. It was like playing a video game set on "easy".
