Apparently it was stolen in Italy and they broke it to sell; ebay presumably. Not sure why its covered in mud like a track crash, but the forks and things all look good?
"Ooh", I said, "a new V4 on a trackday... brave" "Mi dispiace per l'entusiasmo del trackday my V4 ..."

Exactly. Having seen on FB how many are being covered in tasteless tat is quite disturbing. Anyone else seen the vids of the guy who had fitted a rear view camera and screen to his top yoke. I would have thought that your only concern should be what was in front of you with 200+bhp to pay with. Just ride the bikes, its what they are made for. Track is the only place you could explore getting anywhere close to the limits of the bike.
