I'm looking at the Streetfighter V4. I'm 58 and currently commuting on my old 2005 Gixxer 1K with 93K miles on it. It's heavily modified as I bought it new and instantly converted it to a racer (club racing). Never liked naked bikes. Always been sport bikes only. Now, I am slowly coming around to the looks of naked bikes thanks to this one. The price is gonna be hard to swallow, though.
Performance - I cant tell you how many panigales, s1000rr's, rsv4s and other bigdog sportbikes I've passed on mountain roads with my drz400sm, a bike with a carburetor and 35bhp on a good day. Performance numbers are just a weird little particular feature that riders focus too hard on. Glad you've upgraded to what just feels good to ride around on.
I'm looking to get back on a Ducati after nearly 10 years of not riding. I used to have a 2013 Panigale 1199S until life circumstances forced me to sell it. I was looking hard at the Panigale V4S, but everytime I see a Streetfighter video, I'm starting to lean more towards that. I'm approaching 40 years old and the comfortable riding I keep hearing about with the Streetfighter has got me interested. However, coming from a Panigale, it's a hard decision as the Panigale V4S is so sexy looking; not to mention I had 5k+ miles on my Panigale. Lol! However, it sounds like the riding you do is pretty much what I do. I think the SF is the better fit. Very nice video, my guy.
ive ridden nakeds for the past 3 years, i just bought the v4 OVER the streetfighter.... i know its gonna be a bitch in terms of comfortability... but im 29 and like you said... we all dreamt of that bright red ducati race bike as kids.... not a naked bike lol ....
@@CoolinwithJay i remember watching this vid last year about panigale vs streetfighter and yesterday was the day finally got the panigale 23 model cash thanks to ur review brother!!!!
I have a V4 and I think is very uncomfortable when you try to go slow, but if you try to ride faster, like a real sport bike, everything starts to fit. It’s really tricky but when you learn how you can use it daily. Also got a naked r1200r and I understand about position and the reason I’ve got the v4 is that I missed a lot the ride of a superbike
Good to see from Big P Town nice info I have own 2 different sport bike looking to upgrade to Panigale V2 I heard is comfortable and not bad for commute. Nice looking bike little high then my budget.
Trying to decide between a v4s panigale or a 21 bmw s1000rr, test rode both and the BMW was cool with all the electronics, cruise control was sweet but the bike just had no character, it felt like a dead piece of metal. When I rode the v4s yeah it got really really hot but it wasn't painful, just really noticeable, so not a deal breaker. I loved the feeling I got on the panigale. What would you say about which one to choose
Hi bro as 🍕 pizza Panigale v4 🍕 i will say to U to choose the Ducati N buy a used 2k18 base model u Can found one at 17K$ About the heat put a full suit N under suit like me N buy heatshield kit or u Can also do one yourself u just need thermal adhevise band N it Will be good about the Bima that's a great bike too go to see MaxWrist... With love from Paris
The heat problem Can be fix Quick About the look if u go for the first gen u Can upgrade the fairings easy too with kits with the chicken wings from kfc...😂LOL
The bmw needs a tune thats why Ive seen many videos talk about for emissions the BMW is super tamed stock your getting probably 70% of what that bike can do....i haven't been on it so i couldn't say one or the other but single sided swing arm all day... not sure when your trying to buy but the v4s is over the hump already they might have 1 to 2 years left before there will be a change and the new multi already has lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control and fully intergraded phone nav so it will eventually be on the v4s
@@CoolinwithJay Yo bro stop saying bullsh#t nig#a the Panigale V4 is not over the hump...go to see the other brands...about the power i can say to U that the Panigale V4 is tamed too with the electronic look that ua-cam.com/video/x6KdAhvsjFY/v-deo.html N that too ua-cam.com/video/QASt7u1Eh6A/v-deo.html i was totally stock in race mode DTC 3 and DWC level 1 If the 214HP was always on i think i was death...
hard question to answer is getting a rock and cracking it possible yes... but it would also require you to either be on a bad rocky road or the right rock at the right time for me its more so for looks and protection 2nd
I disliked the bent over and having to one hand it so I could stretch out the lower back. After my spinal fusion it was made worse. I balked at the naked bikes but in hindsight I wished I had bought the naked one. My CBR 600 RR was fast. Like 180 on I-5 but being bent over sucks for long rides.
yeah i rode to eugene 2 years ago we took 99 all the way there which was great because you get twisties but we had to rush the way back and took i-5 back and it killed me we just did stongehenge and i left at 8am got back at 6pm and my wrist were a little sore but my back was fine
Iv been really on the fence about switching to the street fighter but just feel I’ll really miss that super sport full fairing look and the aggressive riding style. But when I got for 3hour+ rides I am wrecked
trust me you won’t miss it lol. I got a streetfighter v4s a few weeks ago, switching from a gsxr 1000r. This bike is so comfortable and I can ride it for hours, on a supersport like the gsxr I was uncomfortable after 45 min. It’s still a really aggressive looking bike, I thought I would also regret not getting the Panigale instead but now that I have it I know I 100% went the right route
same exact engine so for the most part yes except no fairings dont funnel the heat in a focus direction its more of a wide spread so it would say yes but not by alot maybe 10% cooler until ducati doesnt wrap the exit pipes under the seat there just isnt a way to avoid it until you get the pipes heat wrapped which is expense.... or ceramic coated or heat shield other parts of the bike but the real truth is sportbikes just werent made for rush hour traffic 98% of all bikes are going to be hot and uncomfortable in 95+ heat parked on the freeway
The only reason I would buy a sports bike - P V4 or RR- is how great they look. For a riding experience, the naked bike - SF V4 and R respectively - are less attractive but better bikes to ride. The mods to your SF make it look better. What do you think of the SF V2? It is to my eyes a better looking bike than it’s V4 big sibling
maybe but i know people wanted to know why or what parts i got who didnt watch the last video i have to favor both those who did see the last and those who didnt but its always a imperfect balance
Yo bro buy a used one base N first gen 🍕 pizza Panigale v4 🍕 like me it's the best u Can upgrade it better than the last gen models with fairings N all the sh#ts
Cars n coffee is a waste of time general. Cars n coffee is for people who have nice cars who don't drive them and use as a trophy and people who go wishing they had those nice cars, and kids that can't drive... too much NFS.
Good job in thinking more about your own need on a bike. Same reason I got myself the SFV4 instead of the Panigale as well. Why suffer just to get other people to enjoy looking? Doesnt make much sense. 😂
Thanks for the shoutout! We've been doing our thing for about 10 plus years and going strong. The bike looks incredible!
You bet! Anytime!
So getting one!!!!

Bro I love it you’re from
The big P town. Always love to subscribe to locals. Keep up the good work and knowledge on bikes and trends.
thanks man appreciate it!!! well technically im from Houston haha but ive been here 8 years now
ive ridden nakeds for the past 3 years, i just bought the v4 OVER the streetfighter.... i know its gonna be a bitch in terms of comfortability... but im 29 and like you said... we all dreamt of that bright red ducati race bike as kids.... not a naked bike lol ....
hahah hey i get it my first was the panigale and its hard to not still want one..but my body thanks me lol
had a monster 1000 and used to get cramp in my hips from the seat position switched to the V4 and no more cramps
no more back pain for me butt and wrist still get sore but not as bad and that was after a 11hr ride
but lets just keep in mind the panigale v4 is literally sex in motion :...../
love the vid btw and i get why you switched at the end of the day its all on the rider preference
cant argue with that it is but no matter how sexy she is she cant make the back pain go away 😆
Ill eventually add a panigale back to my garage
@@CoolinwithJay the back pain can disappear easy bro...go to a track school U will learn it...

Hey man I saw your bike and you change your pipe but before you did what paint did you use to paint your stocks pipes?
Ceramic coated... you have to because of heat... powdered coat is better against wear and scratches but doesn't hold up against heat
Getting mine in few weeks.. radiator guard needed really?

I might do the same swap. One of the concerns are: is the street fighter burns thighs as much as the panigale? Appreciate if you could comment.
