I’ve had a little time to test out the GPR V4 steering damper on my Hayabusa and really like its function as well as ease of use. It is very easy to dial-in extra dampening with a simple turn of the dial, and its also very easy see the dampening setting with a quick glance.
Below you can see the GPR V4 and the Ohlins unit head to head. The Ohlins unit is mounted on my Ducati 848 and it also functioned flawlessly and saved me from two potentially nasty “tank-slappersâ€. The drawback with the Ohlins unit IMHO is that it is you never know where you are in terms of dampening by looking at the dial. You have to back it all the way forward or backward and then dial it back in with however many clicks you desire.
Both units are great, but I am really liking this GPR V4 and trust it with all of the extra HP that the Busa has that can push that front wheel into a slapper on either the street or the track.
