just to make them look pretty. All we do is play with
suspension clickers and ride height, and try not to
get too carried away with mapping—that can get
a little involved and time consuming with all of the
variables that almost all of them have to offer, so
we focused mostly on the base ECU settings of
each motorcycle for this shootout. And for the sake
of space, we will focus on how these bikes per-
form and stack up against each other on the track
and not so much on all of the technical details and
changes, since we've already done that with each
of these bikes in past issues.
We also selected a number of riders with varying
skills to help evaluate each machine, and then
rode them on as many different tracks as possible.
Alright, let's cut to the chase…
