On-Board Video of MV Agusta F4 1000R at Daytona International Speedway

This is my first track day on my MV Agusta F4 1000R, AND my first track day at Daytona International Speedway. Taken at the Team Hammer Advanced Riding School on October 15, 2009, this was the second session of the school. The first session video was not so good as I didn't know which way the track went! The 3rd session was even better with back straight speeds reaching 170 on the speedo, unfortunately my Go Pro Wide camera decided to lock-up and didn't save the video. I don't blame it, you can see how really bumpy that 31-degree banking is... Sadly, the last session got rained out - Florida weather! Lots of fun, I may try racing my bike next year. Check my other videos for another one from Daytona where I run off the track after braking from 165mph!

I found myself gaining much faster speeds up at the top of the track. It was my first time on track and at Daytona as well and plan on coming back! according to Nate the s1000RR is the best bike he has ever ridden!

Hey there! I agree with you. I didn't start using the dotted line 3 feet from the banking wall until Chris Ulrich showed me the fast way around, and it was indeed much faster as well as slightly less bumpy. He then showed me an ultra fast lap and after the west horseshoe he started spinning the rear tire at the apex of the left all the way up the banking just 3 feet off the wall - it was the most incredible thing I have ever seen on a track!

I was the solid gray sv1000 you jet past at 5:39. My first time sitting on the bike was driving it out to the grid. 3rd session felt great, the first horseshoe was brutal! How about the pro's looking back at you at 160 on the banks tapping their tails telling you to follow, kinda unreal!

The other part of the Chris Ulrich story was that when he came around me to show me the fast way around the track, he did so while wheelying by me coming out of the west horseshoe on the inside, while I still had my knee down - the 2nd most incredible thing I have ever seen on a track! Those pro's are just plain sick!

Great ride! why does the rpm jump every upshift? were you using the clutch?

[jng1226]

I WAS using the clutch, just not very well :) I needed to adjust my lever as the travel is much more than the engagement point. The MV transmission is butter smooth, but because it costs so much I don't like to do clutchless shifts even though it does those perfectly.

Awesome ride and the bike sounds amazing

Thanks Russ! See, you need to pre-order that S1000RR after all, he he. After watching Nate Kern rail around Daytona on the prototype, I'm seriously itching to get one!
