The oil change interval for V4’s is 7500 miles (12000 km) so all I did was check my oil level occasionally to make sure I didn’t need to add any - I didn’t. Have a good trip with your HP4 - that sounds awesome! 😎

@@amv_moto That's awesome. Thank you 😊

Yeah that drive across Texas never ends! Definitely. Would. Not. Recommend! 🤣

No I’m actually visiting family on vacation so I won’t make it up to Laguna Seca this year. Hopefully next year I can ride up there again. 😎

Riding 60-80mph on the highway, I think I'd get about 120-130 miles before the light comes on - if the bike is set to "Street" mode not "Sport" or "Race" mode. When I take my road trips I'm usually going 80-100mph and the light comes on at about 110-120 miles. The longest I've gone on the highway after the fuel light came on is 30 miles - reducing my speed to 55-60mph to save gas (and getting into a full tuck LOL) - before I got to the next gas station. I was sweating at the end because I don't think I could have gone much further! But if your bike has a full exhaust and remap, chances are you'll get a little less range from a full tank. Congrats on the bike - you'll love it!

Glad you enjoyed the video! I didn't consider a ZX10r because I honestly think Kawasaki (like Suzuki) are not really invested in improving their sportbikes like Ducati, BMW, Yamaha & Honda are. For example, they're pulling out of WSBK next year - like Suzuki pulled out a few yews ago. Since that is the platform manufacturers use to improve their superbikes, this tells me they plan to put less & less resources into those bikes in the future. Ultimately, I wanted a cutting-edge superbike and I just think they're a few steps behind Ducati & BMW.

@@amv_moto So like what's regarding the reliability reputation getting demolished on forums. Like does that even makes sense??? I can trust you for these answers as you have completely shown what that beauty was capable of. Would love a reply, keep up the good work🙏👌👌👌👌🔥🔥Do give a review of s1000rr as well, would love to hear from you 🙏

Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍

Seriously. The dealer told Ducati that customers keep asking them to tell Ducati to add a gas gauge. Ducati’s response - with a straight face : “If they want a gas gauge they should buy a Multistrada too.” 🤣

Love Ireland! Took a trip to Dublin & Galway when I went to the British MotoGP round a few years ago. Had a great time. Re: the Ducati. I’m very much a racing fan so it had to be the Panigale for me although people I know with the SF love it as well. It runs a little cooler because it doesn’t have the fairings trapping in the heat. And it is a little more comfortable because it has bars instead of clip-on’s so you’re sitting more uptight. But I don’t think the riding position of the Panigale is all that extreme. Anyone who says it is, I tell them to hop on an F4 and then get back to me. THAT is extreme. I’m on my Panigale 5-6 days/week and take it on a road trip once/year. No issues. My only regret is not getting that heat shield installed sooner. 🤣 They run HOT - especially in the summer, but that’ll be less of an issue for you in Ireland. I also think it depends on the kind of riding you do. I’m on a highway probably 50% of the time & do road trips so I need a windscreen for those higher speeds. I had a Thruxton & always felt beat up by the wind after I took that on the freeway. But if you’re mostly just riding around at city speeds, you’ll be fine with the SF. Hopefully that helps but I don’t think you can go wrong with either. Glad you enjoy the channel. More videos coming up so stay tuned. 👍

@@amv_moto brill. Great response. Yeah ,Ireland’s a gem. We like to complain a lot but we’ve very little to worry about 😂 My plan is to do a few more test rides. I think I’ll be doing the heat shield regardless. I’ll be on motorway/highways a good bit too. I live rurally so definitely won’t be stuck in traffic often.

Since fitting the heat shield do you think a long trip, maybe not as insane as the last 2 parter you did, be achievable without stuffing towels down your pants? 😂

For sure. The heat shield will take the heat down from a 10 to a 7/8. It's a noticeable improvement that will let you go for a long trip on a hot day without worrying about getting burned. I also rode with a pair of Underarmour heat gear leggings under my Dainese pants and I felt no heat on my trip up to Laguna Seca. That's a great combo to beat the heat.

Ended up ordering the SFV4s in grey Nero. For me it made more sense. The heat was annoying on the Pani and I know the riding position with annoy me on longer days. The SF pipped it for me in the looks department too. Especially grey Nero.

Sorry had to take a break from UA-cam to work on my house remodel but I’m almost done so I’ll be back to editing in a few weeks. So stay tuned. 😎

Glad you found it useful! 👍

Yes I was under warranty and MV covered the cost of the new engine.

Yeah I have no idea how my Texas friends with superbikes deal during the summer. The heat there is Next Level! 🔥🔥🔥

I’m closing in on 16000 miles/~26000 km. Unfortunately I’m about 10 months behind real-life with my editing. Still have to post my 5k mile review video. 🤣

@@amv_moto Thats fantastic, I ended up buying a v4 base just like yours in Australia! Have since sold it, but am thinking of getting another next year. Have ridden various bikes, but the thrill of that pani v4 was like nothing els. Keen for more content :))

@@beeraiii8449why’d you go base as opposed to the ‘s’? Price or did you notice zero ride difference like me? I’m deciding between Pani v4 and Streetfighter v4. If I go for the Streetfighter I’ll be getting the ‘s’ but only because I want the Grey/nero colour. Looks far better on a naked bike than the red IMO.

I'm planning a base vs. v4 video soon. But basically I wasn't a fan of the things that make a V4s different. I talked to a few V4s owners and they said the electronic suspension was a gimmick. I'm not a huge fan of the look of the wheels. And I prefer the base V4 paint scheme. So basically the lithium battery is the only thing I'd want from the V4s and obviously I can just get one of those aftermarket. So the difference in price is ~ $7k. You could do a lot of cool mods for that money and have a really unique bike. That's the route I decided to go. I think all my mods will end up being close to that in total.

Just finished my house remodel (finally!) and I'll be getting back into UA-cam editing so stay tuned for more videos!

Yeah it was painful but less painful than having to ship the bike back from Texas. 🤣

Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Yeah the prices up in the Monterey Bay are nuts! 😖 I didn’t take PCH for this trip because I was trying to get up and back as quickly as possible. But I’ve done the PCH route many times and I recommend it to anyone who has the time. 😎

Bellissimoto. 😎

@@amv_moto thanks man

Thank you! More videos on the way so stay tuned! 😎

💯

Glad you enjoyed the videos! Yeah, been riding for years - never had a bike that ran so hot it gave me heat blisters! That was a wild trip - I definitely won’t be forgetting that one anytime soon! 🤣More videos coming up so stay tuned! 😎

Glad you enjoyed the video! The ZX-10R is an awesome bike - great choice. And it has cruise control which you will REALLY appreciate for long rides! I’ve been back and forth from LA to SF a few times on a sportbike. It’s really not a bad ride. Definitely doable. I’d say after a couple of hours off the bike I’m back to 100% - after a good stretch - and my hands stop buzzing by then. What I might worry about is the drizzly Bay area weather - you’re definitely going to get more wet than riding in LA. I got rained on the last two times I was up there. You may not mind but I hate riding in the wet. Good luck!👍

Yeah that’s for sure aftermarket. Ducati definitely doesn’t ship them out that way. I know there’s actually at least one other company out there who makes an integrated signal like the V4evo model. You scored a nice upgrade. 😎

Yeah! For sure do it! A Lake Michigan route sounds awesome. That’ll definitely be a memorable trip. 😎

Glad you enjoyed the video! 👍 More uploads on the way.

Glad you enjoyed it! 👍

Nice! The more states the better! 😎

Definitely. If you do a lot of road trips - a Busa is a way more comfortable choice. 👍

For sure. If you really want a sportbike and want to do a lot of road trips, I tell people to get an S1000.

No, parked it outside locked up, under a cover and with an AirTag. For sure, I tell people if you have to have a superbike and you want to do lots of road trips, get an S1000. Way better choice. 😎

@@amv_moto i would be so scared someone would steal my bike

Cool. It was a great weekend. Yeah I want to try motorcycle camping at some point. Sounds like good times. 😎

Wow. You’ve definitely been through a lot! Yeah for California I tell people to not even bother with trying to buy a bike out of state. It’s such a hassle - it’s usually not worth it! That’ll probably be the last time I do that. 🤣

@@amv_moto trust just when you think you found a way around something. Nope cali has it blocked off one way or another is crazy
