V4 power!
To be fair Batista won all the Phillip island races on his debut by a country mile. See what happens throughout the rest of the season, even more competitive, some more good riders and fast teams 
Straight line speed of the Ducati with a flyweight is ridiculous

Mate has a super duke, nice bike to be fair 
Posted before, my mate got pulled doing over the ton and he got away with it, speed awareness course
I’m not riding my bike enough, I’ve done 2,100 miles since I got it in 2021. As I see it now, a sports bike would be more useful for the summer. I sold my 2018 GSXR and wish I hadn’t, now, the Panigale is very similar, riding position too, to be fair when I sat on it, it wasn't that bad, surprised me really. If I’m honest nothing wrong with the supersport other than it won’t do more than 138 up over the mountain lol
What started me off was, i have been fancying and looking for a 1299 with full Akros, last of the V twins, just for the IOM and a few rides out, trouble is for a decent one with low miles you can pick a V4 up for similar
JR gets a win

Don't do the v4 pan, you will definitely lose your licence, got pulled by an unmarked while test riding a superduke GT a few months ago , luckily I spotted him pull out from his hideaway and slowed down while he followed me and eventually pulled me over and how fast were you going back there when you passed me. Obviously he didn't know so got off with a warning.

Agree
JR and Toprak, two of the best ever, had my picture took with them this year 
Some of the best racing I have seen, every circuit it has been crazily close!
No doubt though, the Ducati needs some revs taking off it, up to and over 12 bikes lengths on the straights! Became a joke for me, close racing then on the straight leaves everybody for dead, thats the only reason AB has won it, good rider but not in the class of the other two 
Went into my local dealer the other day to book my bike in for a service, nearly ended up with a Panigale V4

Ducati dominance MotoGP and WSB, straight line speed is ridiculous in comparison
I hope FQ wins it, to be fair Yamaha are due for a good race, not been competitive for a while now. Probably nailed on that FB wins it

Worked with a bloke who used to go there regular, he had a souped up golf, was on Top Gear with it. Mental place and crashes galore, very dangerous!

Nice one
My mate told me a story about Porto that made me laugh. He was on a practice session, litre bikes and thought he was fast, bloke past him on an R1 on the outside of one of the corners like he was stood and went on to leave him for dead, later talking to him in the pit lane he only had one arm 
Think if I retired and had some brass there loads of circuits to ride, would love a blast around Phillip Island myself, corkscrew at Lagua Seca etc, wouldn’t mind a blast around Aragon either 🏍
One thing like you say though, on TV you never get the same perspective of how a tracks goes up and down, blind summits and corners etc. until you see it for real
