Man… love your way of presentation. You covered each and every details. Keep going bruh🔥
i really appreciate this man, trying to step up on the youtube grind a bit more!
I just picked up my Streetfighter V4S. A $28k naked bike. Snd is worth every damn penny. They did everything right. Chassis, dialed. Emgine, incredible. Suspension, incredible. Electronics, absolutely best in the industry. I bought the ducati because i rode tons of otbers, it just does it best.
my first wheelie was a power wheelie on a V4S 😅😅
the stock exhaust sounds amazing, any aftermarket exhaust just makes it so much better
not too hard to do with all that power 😮💨 but i agree, the stock exhaust is shockingly great on the Panigale V4 & the racing system’s make it even better
In the same boat as you after 6 years road riding and track riding various s1000rr's from 2010 to 2020 models. Made the switch a year ago to the exact same bike from road use only and honestly have not looked back. Currently have 16,000 kms on it with a heaps of road trips including a couple of 2500-3000km week long trips, and It is the most fun, most rewarding bike to ride I've owned. Also the most comfortable sports bike I've had too. Chassis, brakes, engine and electronics superb. Had to have a new shock installed when it was new due to an electronic suspension fault and currently in the dealer getting a water pump replaced but seriously, what bike doesn't have small issues these days. Not a big deal. Nice review man 🙌
wow this is so awesome to hear, i try to express to people how amazing these bikes are but some just don’t believe it for whatever reason. it’s truly a next level machine & you wouldn’t know until you ride one!
thank you for watching, i sincerely appreciate it!
Good clean, clear info. I’d like more on ride feel and the details of riding it around. 🙏
i touched on it sort of briefly in this video but the V4S is hands down the best handling bike i’ve ever ridden. it feels like it’s on rails & it’s genuinely so confidence inspiring because of the phenomenal feedback & how the bike will do whatever you want it to do. it’s absolutely phenomenal
Great vid, In the process of preparing to get 2024 V4s. I’m about 3-4 months away. Doing same exhaust, how many miles did u have when u added exhaust? What do u think about adding the heat shield since all the fairings are off. Have been riding the supersport 950s since 21 so I’ll add the big brother to the garage
hell yeah, i’m super excited for you! you’re going absolutely love it! & i did my exhaust right after the break in period. & the heat shield came stock laid inside the fairings & its seemed to do a pretty solid job for me
Ive ridden just about every bike there is, v4s definitely my favorite to ride. The liteness of the bike and power makes it adaptable to move in n out places very quickly
it’s quite a unique experience to ride the V4S, i cannot accurately describe it but wow is it a blast!
Thanks for making this video. I have been very hesitant to pull the trigger on a Ducati V4S for a couple reasons. The first is my closest dealer is 3 hours away. The second is I've heard they get unbearably hot and considering you can never predict traffic, even on the freeway, this makes me nervous. The other two bikes I've considered are the S1000RR but am leaning hardest toward the 2024 Firebalde.
thank you for watching! i totally understand, i’m glad this could provide you with some more insight! they do get hot in heavy traffic but i’ve never had an issue with it overheating or shutting off so you just have to sort of deal with that heat but i think it’s bearable! the S1K & CBR’s are both phenomenal bikes! i don’t have any experience on the current gen CBR’s so i don’t really know how they are but i personally would pick an S1K over one i think! the RR-R might be able to pull me the other way but idk.. i really like the M Package S1K! but it’s really a preference thing.. the V4S imo is more track focused than both the CBR & S1K but if you want something smoother / comfortable for commuting i’d say choose one of those two! but if you’re looking for something different that’s more aggressive & looks / sounds insane i’d say go with the V4S! it’s an absolute blast to ride & feels like a wild animal in some ways but you can also tame it with the electronics!
just something you have to decide on & again it’s all preference! if you can go to dealers & see what they have to say about them, sit on them, ride them if possible & see what feels right for you!
I bought my 2023 Panigale V4S at the end of August last year and I agree with you it is totally worth it and I came from a 2021 S1000RR! Now I do miss the cruise control and heated grips that my S1KRR had but it’s not a deal breaker! The DQS is so much smoother than the on the S1KRR and the TFT display is much easier to navigate on the Panigale!
you can actually get heated grips from Ducati on your V4S but the cruise control is top tier, i love that feature! but im happy to hear you’re enjoying it so much 🤘🏼
I have a 2019 V4S I bought preowned about a year ago with only 600 miles. Came with the same exhaust as yours and up map and sprint filter. I have 5k miles on it now and ride at the track and canyons. I got it for 25k with the extended 3 year warranty and the Ducati maintenance plan for 3 years included in that price out the door and I agree 💯 with everything you said I’ve had no issues at all it’s a beast with up map and exhaust.
that sounds like a great deal & i’m happy to hear you’re enjoying it so much!
Got a 2024 v4s a few months ago and I’m in love. I get the hype now too
i’m so happy to hear that!, enjoy it 🤘🏼
100% one of the most beautiful bikes I’ve ever seen. I unfortunately don’t have a track anywhere near me, so just can’t justify a sport bike, so I picked up the Diavel V4. Ducati’s V4s are just incredible.
it’s absolutely one of the best looking bikes ever created in my opinion! & i totally understand that, the Diavel V4 is a MONSTER! congrats on that!!! 🤘🏼
Good summary, I am a 1299 pride and joy owner for 4 years now, 6k road miles and 6 x track days. What you predict (loads of torque and limited electronics) is spot on! It's a raw animal and it will let you know when you get it wrong! I am tempted by a V4 SP2 but think I may miss the more raw 'L twin' torque experience. The V4 is a better bike on every metric but may lack 'character' of the big lumpy 'L twin'. If you get that chance to ride one see if you agree. Will let you know if I end up missing the 1299. The SP2 is another $10k on the V4S but already includes many carbon upgrades I would add, so debatable if this saves money in the long-term. In a sellers market everyone tends to value stock over modified with the exception of Akrapovic exhausts! One down-side to the Akra exhausts is track day noise limits in the UK, even modified baffles struggle on UK tracks!
that’s awesome to hear, i’ve heard many great things about the L Twins & i really would love to ride one & especially get one out on the track! the SP2 is an incredible package, i heavily debated on it but just couldn’t really justify spending that much at my time of purchase.. i still plan to do many of the carbon upgrades as well as other cosmetic / performance stuff! but definitely let me know if you end up missing it & your thoughts on the SP2! & yes, i’ve heard they’re super strict overseas about the Db levels & struggle with the Ducati’s.. thankful we don’t have to deal with that here in the USA!
Very nice video. It's definitely a beautiful bike..
I would have to say riding it, It's very solid, It just feels so different then other bikes. It feels like its all one solid piece. Hard to explain.
It definitely excels fast, the throttle is I'd say, perfectly responsive and bike moves the split second you pull it back to go..
thanks dad! ❤️ & i absolutely agree, it’s nothing like any other bike i’ve rode! idk if it’s the V4 engine or the simple excellence of the chassis / ergonomics or a combination of both.. it’s absolutely incredible! i’d say a combination of all of it, it’s quite the package! 🤌🏼
me watching this knowing i just put a deposit on my v4 🧍♂️
i’m so excited for you to get yours!!!
I had one I paid cash for. Loved the look and power but sucked to ride because it was so hot I couldn’t wait to get off of it… was way to hot for sw Florida… sold it with about 400 miles on it. My friend bought it and also sold it for same reason.
wow that’s crazy.. here in ohio it doesn’t get extremely hot so it’s pretty tolerable. i try to keep it moving as much as i can, typically on the highway!
Purchased my 2023 Ducati v4s and I have to say it’s worth every penny you pay. added arrow exhaust system and tuned When you ride it it seems to become part of you. Hard to explain DOESNT GET ANY BETTER
that’s so awesome to hear, i absolutely agree with you! it truly is a different riding experience compared to anything else i’ve been on.
I have a BMW s1000rr same is your bike but honestly am been want a V4s so you see the difference between BMW and the panigale what is the best for you
they’re very different bikes! the V4S is definitely far more track orientated in every way including the engine.. the S1000RR is extremely smooth & pretty comfortable to ride plus it has the heated grips & cruise control. you actually can get heated grips on the V4S! the V4S definitely runs hotter, can feel more clunky in low RPM’s but pulls so hard & feels very aggressive & is faster than the S1K! they’re a lot different, if you could own both, i’d highly recommend that!
It is worth it. To put it into perspective, a 1988 GSXR original MSRP was $5,000. A
Bimota YB original MSRP (same year) was $15,000. In today's dollars, the GSXR
translates to little over 14K while the Bimota to 39K. All these bikes are great in their
own way, but the Ducati has massive improvements over both of them. IMHO, It is a
bargain at $32K. However, some people "Itch" about prices because their dollars no
longer stretch as far as it did in the past. BTW, a 2023 GSXR 750 is $13K MSRP.
thank you for putting that into perspective! it even furthers my point, these bikes are well worth the money for what you get! the prices of some bikes are getting out of hand nowadays.. have you seen the resell market of the R6’s? 😂 but that’s just how it goes.. things get more expensive every year!
@@motorradboy21 Prices and incomes are not harmonized with inflation. OTOH, entrepreneurs can YT- it, etc. and make $20K a month. Even in Biden's America there are more opportunities than the next 50 countries. Enjoy your ride.
I’ll be getting a V4S when I return from my deployment.
Have you ridden an Aprilia RSV4?
How’s the Ducati heat as well?
My old roommate had a ‘22 V2 and it would COOK my legs!
hell yeah, that’ll be a nice treat to come home to! i have ridden the RSV4 before but extremely little seat time unfortunately.. & the V4S definitely can get warm but that’s really only in stop & go traffic besides that it’s been fine for me!
& thank you for service!
@@motorradboy21 appreciate the feedback Boss! Thank you as well!
So what if you just get a v4 non S is it a big difference?
the biggest difference is the marchesini wheels & electronic ohlins suspension between the S model & the base! both are phenomenal bikes!
This video makes me want to buy a Ducati tomorrow😅
you wouldn’t regret it 😉
Me next bike will either be the 2024 S1000rr or the 2024 V4. Both around 28k out the door.
both are phenomenal bikes! it really comes down to your personal preference ✊🏼
Is there a 2024 version of Panigale V4S or the latest one is 23 version
there is a 24, it’s identical to the 23
Bro can you do just the slip on do i need to cat delete ?
you can do the racing silencers which keeps the stock headers
I’ve loved mine so far. It’s my first bike so I don’t have a lot to compare it to besides my wife’s scout sixty but it’s a beauty in every way. Glad to know I made a good decision.
wow.. what a first bike 😂 i’m happy to hear you’re enjoying it so much! be safe out there ✊🏼
Jeez dude as a first bike? Why did you do it.
@@thedragonofechigo7878 pretty wild 😂
@@motorradboy21well, people will do what they want with their money after all.
@@thedragonofechigo7878 i support it, just hope he is safe!
Honestly for what it does as a whole package i definitely think its worth it even if I'll never own one to know just how much its worth to me from a subjective standpoint. Yeah it costs the same as car but its still worth it.
i’m glad someone understands!!! of course you get a bike that performs similarly for cheaper but this bike is worth far more than a monetary value to me.
Love my V4S, yours is a ripper aswell
happy to hear you love it & it most definitely is!
I agree with your humble approach however I don’t let people sit on my bikes especially if it’s base value is close to $40k it’s not out of selfish intent it’s simply a means to protect my asset and private vehicle.
i understand where you’re coming from with that, i make sure to guide them to do it correctly & that they don’t scratch anything or kick the tail or even worse drop it
What exhaust do you have ? I like the blue on it
titanium akrapovic underbelly system

thanks you man
it’s my pleasure, thanks for watching!
Literally what I paid for my WRX.. that’s crazy bro
hahaha i feel you brother, i know they definitely aren’t cheap!
@@motorradboy21 it’s lovely for sure, one day
LOVE MY 2023 V4S AND MY APRILIA RSV4S FACTORY,,,,,
hell yeah, best of both worlds!
Need an rsv4
@@treyrahman i bet they’re amazing!
fyi Euro bikes use ... race performance grade brakes/ suspension like ohlins ttx30 rear shock and brembo stylema calipers .
The japanese use ..Production grade ...brakes/suspension ohlins ttx30 rear shock and production grade stylema brembo calipers ................. same model name of stylema/ttx30 but japanese production grade units much lower quality
i agree!
You mentioned the heat, but you didn’t mention ridiculous it is, seriously it is unbearable, i did test ride one and it was such an epic bike, the brakes are absolutely phenomenal, the sound no need for upgrade but the heat GOD DAMN it was hot.
to me personally it isn’t unbearable, but it definitely gets pretty dang warm. but yeah the V4S is next level with the performance!
Ducati is like the ferrari of bikes! There is not a single brand that could match the perfect package of a ducati! Ducatis are pieces of arts. If I had money, I'd buy a V4 S, V4 R and a Superlegerra V4.
i agree!
Can you lower it easily?
that’s a great question, i’m not 110% sure tbh. i know people do it
Have 2019 V4S, Agree with everything, but the heat issue is larger than you put on. If I’m riding more that 100miles I have to tie bandannas around my thighs. Maybe older bikes get hotter. That being said I’m being buried with this bike. Nothing like it.
I am thinking of getting just the V4...
the base V4 is an incredible machine!
I always find the "that's a car" comment very funny
I mean my car was 1000 euros while my pc was 4000
I guess my pc is 4 cars :D
streetfighter was way more than both lol
hahahaha valid, when i refer to “ the car “ thing i just saying your average affordable car
1 year ownership isnt a long time.... 4 or 5 year i would say with 15k miles is decent. Then that should give you time to say if it worth it after that depreciate kicks in.
i don’t recall saying i’ve had it for a long time.. the whole point of the video was to give my opinion on if it’s worth it after a year & my experience with it in that time frame
You can buy them in the uk for 15k used
the V4S?
cap
@@j.taveras8447 yeah absolutely zero shot 😂
Dollar has lost about 90% of its purchasing power since we got off the Gold standard back in 1971. I say it's definitely not worth 32k.
i agree the dollar has lost its value since then but compared to the market this bike is worth the money in my opinion!
Nice pants !
lol
😂
He probably can't afford nice pants with all these bike payments..lol
@@bikepimp72 basically 🤣
hahhah
definitely worth it 😮💨😮💨😮💨
110% 🙌🏼
I have DucatiV4 2024 model and Bmws1000rr 2023 model , hayabusa 2023 model , Ninjazx10R 2024 model , ninja Z900 2024 model , Ninja SX 1000 2023 model - my favorite ❤️ is Ducati V4 ❤❤❤
May I ask you the main reason that you prefer Ducati V4s than s1000rr?
a dyno run
a bren tuning stage 2
carbon wheels
Without going into details, with my experience, Bren tune is awful.. Always tune your bike on a Dyno in the area that you mainly ride,. nothing beats it..
i have the ducati up map & it’s been absolutely phenomenal
i don’t believe they’d be able to push really more power out of this bike but i could be wrong 🤷🏼♂️
so carbon wheels would be sick though!
yeah i was gonna hit the like button but you didn't start it up so we could hear it
oh come on 😂
Have you dyno’ed the bike after you got the exhaust? Mine with the full high mount exhaust only makes 188hp which is almost like what it should make STOCK!
wow, that’s really low??? mine made 200whp & that dyno runs notoriously low!
it would be around 210 compared to other peoples numbers
@@motorradboy21 yeah your number is right inline with what it should be, Ducati 2022 press material says it makes 228 metric hp with exhaust, and that’s 224.881 imperial hp. And the drivetrain loss is 10.59% according to a Ducati dealer memo back in 2019. So whp should be 201 imperial hp. And you got 200. That’s perfect!
@@jiajianhou426 you really had the statistics ready for this hahaha i love it! but did you ever contact your dealer about the lack of power? maybe it was the dyno?
@@motorradboy21 dealer is the one who did the dyno. They say I should expect 20% drivetrain loss, not 10% 🤷♂️ . yeah I’ve been trying really hard to find out how much power the bike should really make. 201 whp is the theoretical answer. Most exhaust + upmap dyno I see range from 195-205.
@@jiajianhou426 wow that’s very strange. maybe try a different dyno & see the power figures you get!
I got 23 v4 just got akro .it homicidal bike after riding zx 10 r and bmw .it on deferent level. Wating for gold marchesini. Let haters hate it monster out box that faster then any Japanese or German if u compare stock vs stock simply ecu flash and akro slip on 210 to rear and that on low side .race map on MR 12 225 to rear .enjoy and let haters spend 40k on Harley-Davidson and same time none of those ppl saying that a lot for ugly pos that consistently in shop.😅
i’m trying to tell people these Paniagle’s are on a whole different level than the rest of the market! it’s quite impressive & like you said with the proper system & tune it’s just bonkers lol
When you spend $32k on a motorcycle you'll do anything to convince yourself it was worth it. 😂
i can assure you it’s worth it! i have other bikes & i definitely understand the value of the V4S.
you should ride one!
That part 😂
I heard 32k and kindly excused myself from the video.
@@YoungL_rd promise it’s worth it 😉
@@512460 oh come on 😂
People dont relaze even base v4 23 after tax and fees 31k and that base .i guess S has to be 41k after tax . If u add akrapovic slip on which 4.700 + 700 $ to install since i don't have aluminum wheels i purchase marchesini 4k .all said and done 43k for motorcycle is a lot considered i used to ride 2019 zx 10r .2018 bmw s1000rr. But ducati is deferent level of monstrosity 😅😅
the V4S & its accessories are well worth every penny to me!
