Some self info from a newbie rider

Hi guys, I'm a new rider from Malaysia studying in Columbus. I just got myself a 2014 BMW HP4 Competition, my all time dream bike! I'm bringing my bike back to Malaysia when I'm done with my studies so I can go back and ride at the famous Sepang Circuit on open trackdays. Feel free to come along and ride at one of the best tracks in the world! I know the riding season is ending but it's never too late to wish everyone HAPPY RIDING!

You said you want to ride Sepang, are you from KL?  I've only been to the airport in KL, but have been to Penang/Kulim several times.  I like your country but I've never seen a bike like yours there!  Be careful with that thing.

Welcome,  pick up some Mid-Ohio gift certificates for 25% off on black Friday/cyber Monday.  Great track close by.  One of the regulars there brings his HP4 all the time.

Is it 650ib? I bought this bike from his friend and it's been in some of his youtube videos. I saw a few vids of the mid ohio track but it looks kinda scary with the road patches. I hope i'll grow some balls to ride there soon ?

Beauty of a bike - would LOVE to ride Sepang.   Congrats, and post vids of the Malaysian trackday!

Thank you sir! The track is immaculate! But there was an issue during the recent formula 1 race where a car went over a loose drain cover and it did a huge damage on the car. It kinda gave a bad name for the track though. I saved a video of the Malaysian trackday on facebook but i don't know how to post it here.

Yes sir i'm from KL! Good to know that you've been to my beautiful yet humble country! There are only 2 known HP4s in Malaysia so i'm hoping to be the 3rd once i bring it back. Yea i want to ride this beast in sepang on slick mode, i rode on a ducati 848 evo there a few times and I almost wrecked it so i haven't been there ever since. Insurance don't cover trackdays in malaysia so that's scary as hell.

Not Ib I'm thinking of. Patching has grip, plus, it's not really in much of the race line.  Come out and run a couple novice days and the coaches will show you where you need to be.

What will taxes at license fees be for that in Malaysia?  I don't think I saw anything bigger than 650cc while I was there!
