2023 Ducati Street Fighter V4S | Finally It's SORTED!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- The Ducati Street Fighter is a bike I've have a love hate relationship with. On one hand its utterly bonkers and insanely fast, but on the other hand its quite hard work to ride slowly and too easy to ride fast!
But for 2023 Ducati have made some changes which could just transform the bike into the perfect insane hooligan we've always wanted!

Had my 2022 V4 for 8 months. once you set all the parameters such as reducing engine braking and tuning suspension its a pleasure to ride fast or slow.
You are a natural film maker your videos just get better and better excellent video Charlie x
Great vid! Be interesting if you did a back to back with the super duke and aprillia too
Awesome bike, glad they’ve listened to customers feed back and done some great changes. ( from your impressions) a little bit to much pocket money for me , we can but dream . Great video Chops .
Thanks Alan 👍
We do love the V4S, last rode the 2020/2021, that was directly after riding the Panigale V4S and it was much easier below 60mph to be on the Streetfighter, the Panigale only woke up beyond 70!
Streetfighter more fun under 100mph😜✊🔥🔥
Good 👍 as usual great way to start a Saturday morning,, even though here is forecast for rain ☔ other ways to brighten up your day 🙂 from northern Ireland great reviews John 😊☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Thanks buddy 😁👍
Good riding there on a beast of a machine. Love it. Please include the KTM Superduke when you do the BATTLE OF THE NAKEDS. I'd rather have that in the line up than the MT10 if I had to choose. It belongs. Or have them both with Tuono (my favorite bike) and the Streetfighter. Can't wait!!
Yeah 100%.. rode my mates new 2023 SFV4s - its such a great bike to ride now.. you can bumble in 3rd doing legal speed limit on A-roads and then take it to the extreme on Welsh B-roads but all without the need to rev the nuts of it. Its like an elevated level from my Hyper, and a serious contender if I ever wanted to change from my L-twin 🧐
Hey hypermotardking! Love your channel mate, I was seriously considering getting a Hypermotard RVE last year as my first bike, but ended up for a GSX-S1000 '22 naked. If you were to change bikes to for instance the streetfighter or any other bike, what would you be looking to improve on from the Hypermotard? Practicality? Power? Comfort?
@@k1mura92 Thanks Boss 🤛🏼🤛🏼.
For me on the UK roads and Track days the bike has to give me feedback, grip and confidence in the corners and stability on the brakes. The Hyper can easily achieve this with only 110bhp and I can keep up with most 1000cc bikes.
I did a test ride (on channel) on a Monster SP, Multi V4 PP, Panigale V4R and SFV4s.. and hands down I’d chop my Hyper for the new 2023 SFV4s.
If it wasn’t for a new design Hyper landing in 2024 (rumours at moment) then Id get the SF right away 👍🏻
Ducati is just killing it basically. The bikes they put out are amazing...
Too expensive, if you ask me
@@Kodreanu23 expensive yes. But I think the price is justifiable for the most part
@@jesse68569 I personally don't see which Ducati bike is better than Triple RS. Depends what you value, I guess. If you pick streetfighter v2, thats 50 percent more expensive than Triple RS and that bike is not 50 percent better than RS.
1290 super duke r is a better ducati ☺️
I’ve still got my 2020 V4s and have gone up to Yorkshire from Sussex and have had no problem with it in traffic/low speed, it changes gear much better in race shift, I can’t really see the point in getting the latest bike as absolutely love my bike. Put sintered pads in the front and the bike stops even better not that they were bad before..
I’ve been from Sussex to Scotland and now to Yorkshire! Were you riding to Bury Hill / Rye around the back of Hastings area?
@@Ukmongoose3 I go around there very occasionally I’m over near Eastbourne, sometimes over to rye . I done the north coast 500 a few years ago but that was on a MT10 SP.
My 24 is just the base bike and its incredible
Oooo new intro! Great video and review again Chopsy, wish I could afford one of these (or a Ducati V4 anything!) but enjoy living vicariously through you hah :)
You’re the best Ed, big love xx
yupp tested her too last friday alot improvemt power is now instnt not like the gen1 at 8k rpm. good work ducati
Looked great fun there Chopsy.😁😁
Sounds nice as well . Think our roads are a disgrace bad enough in the car but bloody dangerous on the bike .some power in the duke 😮 👍 keep safe chopsy .👍
Always great reviews. You definitely deserve more visibility on YT. Keep on sharing! Thanks.
Much appreciated! 👍👍
Great Saturday morning entertainment.just got back from a ride.nice 1 chops👍
I rode gen 1 and hated it, I now own gen 3 with full moto gp system and absolutely love it and it sounds epic ❤
Handsome bald man with Ruby @00:13. Great video Chopsy - need to add this to my want list as well. Will it ever end?!
I don't think I was talking to Ruby then... 😆 you tried the 23 version Tim?
Thanks John, a comparison to the M1000R competition would be very interesting.
its defo one i have been looking at as an upgrade for next bike for sure what a bike
Great review Chopsy, it would be interesting to see which of the 2023 range of Ducati’s makes the best real world fast road bike, Panigale , Streetfighter, Diavel or Multistrader 😊
Multi has it all day long. You’d of course have to sacrifice sound and aesthetics, however😊
Beautiful bike! A long way from my 92 750 SS😊
What an absolute weapon. "Not sure how much of this footage I can put on YT". I bet 🤣
Does the SFV4 radiate as much heat on the rider's legs as the Panigale V4?
To call some of them roads is a bit misleading as they are more like tracks. Forget foreign aid we need aid ourselves. Shocking 😂
True, was in the Cotswolds few weeks ago, coming from Germany I was shocked at the quality of the roads in the UK. Land Rover territory.
True, I’m in Australia and I thought our roads are pretty average, but the UK roads look positively third world.
@@Asgardsrei If you drive regularly in the Uk it’s only a matter of time before you kerb a wheel on some of the shocking stuff here. Some of it is down right dangerous especially at night.
@@MrDeepseadweller You ain’t kidding saying it’s third world. It’s no wonder sports bike sales are on the decline here the roads that should be fun to ride are a challenge to say the least.
Your right the roads look absolutely knackered 🤪
M1000R non comp and £5000 in change for me. Would make a great comparison video video tho, the M vs the V4S
Yeah hopefully doing that one 👍
it must be an epic battle)
@@LambChopRidesplease do this? What bike do you prefer?
NGL, not a ducati fan but gawd the sound!!
Awesome looking bike, especially in black Great video.
It’s definitely got to be Write Me A Ticket RED , provided you can keep from loosing your drivers license, , thanks for the BLAST of a ride and after all it’s just money !
Good navigation of the pot holes there mate
Absolute love your vids man been watching all of them for ages, I don’t know how your not popping off on here but keep up the hard work, great content man 🙏🐑🔪
Thanks buddy 👍
I rode this bike a few weeks back, I agree it’s fantastic and I know it’s a Ducati but I just can’t understand how it’s £23k with no fuel gauge. I rode a super duke evo after, there’s not much in it to justify a £4.5k difference. Also it really annoys me how manufacturers charge more for different paint schemes.
I've got a 2022 V4S SF,(And a Hayabusa & Z1000,all on Pirelli Diablo 4 CORSE Tyres.I like the feel.). It is a superb package,now with full Akropovic Exhaust & CF bits,it's even better. As my 4th Ducati,it is easily the best,because of the Electronics, which make it a pleasure to Ride.What I do not understand is other Ducati's have a Fuel Gauge,why not the SF? I do get better mileage per Tank than my mates V4S,and I ride it as quick,but his needs fuel c.150 kms.Mine's good for 200,before a light appears(?), and supposedly I still have 50 kms to go. I'm 76,but fit so I think I'll keep this until Ducati bring out something better.We'll see!
Been waiting for this 😊
SUPERNAKED GROUP TEST!!!!
It really does look good
all I'm interested in is them actually creating a functional gas gauge and cruise control. Get me those two things and I'll actually buy one...
Yes! Group test!
Curious how this comparse to the @MVAgusta Brutale 1000RS 😍
That's my reference in the 1000cc naked class.
SP2 carbon for Batman! 🔥👍
Had a go on the M1000r, Today the mv brutale 1000 rs. This one is next!
Which is better, this or the M?
Great review & it's quite a feat of engineering. I guess the comparison to do now is this vs the M1000R. Seems the Ducati might be the better all rounder / road bike as the M1000R seemed more extreme maybe?
Both great bikes but it seems most everyone prefers a V4 over an inline 4 engine. Especially for the streets I think V4 engine makes more sense.
Yeah hopefully doing that comparison RR 👍
Strenge, i seen reviews they say its more racey and wheelie machine (2023 then the first 2020 Streetfighter V4😎✊🔥
@@k1mura92Inline are more blend and boring✊🔥🔥
I had the 2020 V4S, and traded it for the M1000R. The BMW has a wider envelope, from super smooth relaxed ride, to monster wheelie machine when you want it. Haven’t ridden the 2023 SFV4S, and maybe it has improved, but I’m loving the BMW. The Ducati does look better - but I can’t see it when I’m riding it, and these days I’m solely interested in the experience.
I really like the look of this bike. Looks better in red. I wonder if it's reliable. Thorough review. 1990 [Nick J]
£23.000 I need a new job that pays more. 😂 great ride out wish I had been with you on the ride but not sat next to you on the speed awareness course the month later.😂❤
This or the new 1390 SDR Evo? I need your help deciding, I'd mainly be doing casual roads and the occasional highway and about 3 track days per season. But the fact that this doesn't have a fuel gauge and cruise control, even as an extra, is quite huge .. atleast one can get the heated grips. I'd be in it for the long run, 5-6 y. Coming from a 2021 MT-09 SP. Cheers!
KTM, as much as I hate brand.
This or V2 for the city riding?
Hi Chopsy,
Great vid..!
But it would be interesting to see a comparison between this bike and the SP2 version.
Also between the SP2 and the M1000r
Is that something you could organise before the end of the summer ..?
Kep up the great work …😅
Thanks 👍 Unfortunately Ducati don't have any SP2 on the fleet. I can only imagine its just more insane 🤪
Chops, give me a shout if you want an SFV4 SP2. Mines just having a remap done by Chris Steadman.
so what do you prefer the new V4r or the M1000r?
Such a good question too bad he never answered
Looks good. 👍
Why no add in the m1000r
Still no fuel gauge?
Love the 200+ nakeds just for the engineering and the why not of them but would never buy one due to the 20k+ price tag you’d easily keep pace with them on the road the duke 890 r st765rs mt09 sp etc
I agree with this comment but to say you’d easily keep with one on the road with the bikes you’ve described I disagree. I’ve moved up through the bikes, ridden 765RS’s etc and their more than enough for the road and great bikes but if you’ve got a good rider on the likes of a SFV4S or Tuono V4 1100 Factory your not keeping up with one easily for sure if at all! The Litre+ bikes, especially V4’s and V-Twins have a lot more torque and coming off corners etc are in a different league let alone tapping into the top end which isn’t always that accessible on the road but that depends how crazy you are too!
@@rodneyst1807 the smaller bikes are more flickable ones I’ve mentioned do 0-100mph all in under 6 seconds more usable power and easier to chuck around unless you hit a big straight you’ll keep up easily plenty of videos out there where the mid class nakeds out perform supersports on the twisties
Have you even rode a SFV4S out of interest? It’s all opinion but like I’ve said I’ve had 675’s, rode the latest 765RS and I know for a fact there’s no way I’d keep up with myself on them that would I would do with myself on what I currently own now (a 2022 spec SFV4S)
There may be loads of video here there and everywhere but how an earth do you know the rider on the smaller bike is just simply a better rider full stop? You don’t?!
I just laugh when I read comments like yours tbh because not being funny half the time it’s from people who simply can’t afford one so dreams that what they’ve got is good enough!
There’s usually a good reason why you pay more, the electronics on these bikes are another level to the likes of a 890, 765RS, MT09 etc. Everyone has an opinion and that’s fair enough but I’m only speaking from experience of owning middleweight bikes and my last few 1100 Tuono Factory and this and I’ve got no reason to dress it up
@@rodneyst1807 I’ve rode friends duke1290r and tuono v4 and as fun as they are I was no faster on them on uk roads also I keep up with them just fine we’re all around the same level and it’s not about affording one of these 90% of bikes are on a 2 year lease on monthly payments with a bit up front so it’s not a flex owning one nowadays but I actually own my 2023 mt09 sp not exactly Peanuts at 11.5k then a few add ons each to there own all bikes serve a purpose and for certain needs the big hypernakeds are normally bought for bragging rights nothing else I also took the 2023 mt10 sp out for a test because I could afford that as well and the 1200rs speed and couldn’t see the point in either of them for what I use the bike for each to their own but throwing in a money card on your bike is just pathetic 😂 most of these 1000s are owned by old blokes who can’t ride for trying but have money to burn look at the tyres at bike meets and they lean over further on the side stand than they do on the road
@@DucatiDalethat’s a fair point and the MT09’s are lovely bikes and if that’s what your more than happy with then fair play! But I’ll firmly stand by my word there’s a good reason why there’s such a price difference between yours and a SFV4S but unless you really want to take the bike to the point where you really want to see the difference then that’s upto you. I actually owned a 1200RS before this and the confidence to ride a SFV4S with intent in comparison is a different level! The electronics are miles better and the feedback (even with having all the suspension properly setup on the 1200RS) you can’t compare!
I’ll apologise about the price comment tbf that isn’t always the case but can quite often be!
It’s one of them cases we’ll agree to disagree. Main thing is that your happy with what your riding and enjoy it!
Excellent video Chop, I'd love to see a side by side with the M1000R since they are both contending for the top, similar price and power. I'm going to either pick up the V4S or the M1000R as my 2nd weekend fun bike but cannot decide.
I have the M1000R competition and its fantastic to ride and to look at. Much better than the Ducati in my opinion having ridden both, and the BMW has a fuel
gauge and longer tank range.
@@allsealcleaning2744 I appreciate the feedback, thank you!
@@allsealcleaning2744 Curious to understand in what way is much better than the ducati. I think just the engine sounds is enough for you to pick the ducati 9 times out of 10 out of the garage instead of the m1000
And...cruise control
@@allsealcleaning2744
What about a comparsion including superduke evo & s1k?
Yes, Superduke vs Streetfighter, then winner vs M1000R 💪
@@LambChopRides excellent idea! Love it!
Nice video Chopsy. Like you’ve said in the past maybe to polished. Don’t take this the wrong way but it seems like you’re videos are going that way as well. Where is the hooligan in you! Let’s see some clutch up wheelies or at least some power wheelies. Lol. :)
Unfortunately Robert just can't do that these days on YT as people are watching! I could get banded from driving for doing a wheelie on YT
UA-cam is now regulating wheelies? I give up! What’s the YT world coming to. I think you might be Fooling us and scared to do them(kidding of course). Just do them on a closed course. Lol
@@RobertKehl it's not YT it's the police! You can be convicted of dangerous driving from a YT video, as you probably know wheelies fall into this category
@@LambChopRides The cost of fame.
Good video Lamb Chop
Make a great first road bike? I do like them.
Decisions decisions 😅
German sausage or some tasty Italian pasta
You'll be getting one,i reckon
this beauty must be compared with a M1000R and with a tuono)
How does v4s compare to bmw M1000r
Does in finally has a fuel gauge?
No unfortunately not
You make that bike look tiny! 😂😂😂
Yes indeed! Problem with being a 6'2 20 stone fatty
😂
Nice bike . But it did look the same size as a honda grom with a big lad on it 😂✌️💚
Nice reveiw and fantastic bike but dam 24 grand.. even old dudes spending their pension payouts gonna baulk at that price .😮 .. not a bike for roads around my neck of the woods .. but I want one 😊
Does anyone know just reeeally roughly how they control engine braking electronically like that? Like, through what mechanism can it do that? I'm curious.
Maximum engine braking is the natural mechanical braking, less engine braking they add fuel to reduce it 👍
Probably a combination of opening intake, exhaust and/or butterfly valves on the intake and injecting fuel.
@@LambChopRidesawesome video chop!!! I was lucky enough to snag up this color scheme here in the states! Always loved the 2020-2022 SFV4 came close to buying the matte black on that came out before so glad I held off! Now got the updated 2023 model with even nicer color combo!
Got arrow titanium exhaust and ecu flash setup on mines the bike is absolutely incredible!! Maybe you’ll fall in love and add one to your fleet! I’ve been trying to find more info on the color warnings ⚠️ you mentioned I’ve seen a yellowish triangle flash on top right screen is that traction control kicking in? Thanks chop keep up the great work!!!
Does it have a gas gage?
No don't think so..
Here in The UK you need a screen to keep you out of the elements so I would not buy a naked bike. Multistrada or BMW M1000XR would be the bike for me.
Also, there are reports online of the semi-active suspension failing on premium Ducatis.
Will this bike work with 1.90cm guy
Those roads are shocking
how tall is the rider?
M1000r or sfv4s ? ....that's the big question 😮
Yeah hopefully will try and do a comparison 👍
Good man Chopsy - look forward to it 👍🙂
Is this bike perfect for 6.2ft guys ?
M1000r or this bad boy?
Looks like there’ll be a Kawasaki up for sale soon……
5% apr over 8 years please Ducati! These are hard times!!! 😅
Sounds like a great bike. Its just a shame the view of you riding towards the camera, it looks as if you're on a little scooter and I do mean little. Why are the headlights and instruments sliding down the forks so far? A real shame...
Great review. My VFR800F (also a V4 of course) with an SC Project end-can sounds better than that. That Duke would sound amazing with an SC can.
why isn't there a middleweight v4?
Think the cost would be prohibitive,would end up being a very expensive middleweight
@@LambChopRides thank you sir
This or M1000r for the H2R replacement 😏🤔
How Much for a naked bike ? Think were loosing sight of the essence of motorcycling. Transport and fun at the weekend for the masses 23k for bike,.
It’s all relative. That’s not much money in the scheme of things.
Is the monster so still the bike you'd go for a Ducati?
Comparison between this and m1000r .
Chops, I sense u probably like the BMW better....❤
different genre of bike of course but i'd take the diavel over this all day
Yeah I probably would too.. 👍
Black though?!
The problem still is, it's way too powerful to actually have any fun on, for 99.99% of the time. Why can't we have a 600 V4?
Got the v2 for people who find the v4 to extreme
@@DucatiDale no no no! Gotta be a V4. Inexplicably we never got a VFR600R from Honda.
600 be nice if cost is an issue. Otherwise, a bike is only as fast as your wrist control 🤷♂️
I have one, its extremely usable power.
The V4 is awesome.
Missenden flyer!
He wasn't there no
@@LambChopRides I am refering to his new bike reveal tomorrow. I could be wrong!
@@davidmallia628. I think street triple rs in yellow🤔
@@rossm9676 you could be right, but I will stick with red streetfighter.
If only it had a cruise control…..
And a fuel gauge
I just don't get the point of the streetfighter segment at all. I got a 2021 Monster plus for streetfighter type of riding - plenty power for the streets and a Panigale if I want to go just a little bit faster. This model is just unnecessary because it is neither here nor there.
Because of multiple wrist surgeries I can't ride a full on sport bike because the pressure it puts on my wrist. Naked bikes are pufect for me.
Streetfighter or M1000R ? ;-)
Yeah that's the question now, hopefully doing a comparison 👍
Lush bike wells it's a Ducati. But does seem to much for roads there looks like Welsh lane . No way would I up grade from my 2 L twins they are enough. May be if south of France etc.
Easy 🤣when 44th tried the 2023 Streetfighter v4s, they sad its the most innsane and fast bike they had tried✊🔥🔥and they tried the R1 the week before…
Its a lovely bike, but the term ‘Streetfighter’ belongs to those talented individuals who made them out of crashed sportsbikes or even from scratch in sheds in the back yard. Period. When things go mainstream…….. you know the song.
Only two things it is missing. Cruise control and fuel gauge. Every hypernaked bikes are getting it. If you are paying so much then they should have given.
The state of UK roads 😮
horrific here bouncing all over the place on my bike half of the time
Yeah pretty dire arnt they!
That’s because we are putting all our tax payers money into flooding our country with illegal immigrants..............
@@LambChopRides am only on a duke 390 at the moment but jeez my suspension feels like bricks on our roads 😂
The melange of shite we now have to ride on is, to say the least, off putting!, you did very well to stay upright there!, fantastic machine, just out of my price range 😢
👍👍👍
@LambChopRides Hi Chopsi! This might sound confusing at first, but hear me out. Engine Braking Level 3 is actually giving you more braking, but it also removes play in the throttle. This is why the throttle feels smoother and less stuttery. Had to figure this out as well. Rides much better like this for sure!
It might alter throttle response but I don’t see how it could remove the play that’s present in the throttle as that’s mechanically built into the mechanism.
@@sp00ky1969 You’re right about the mechanical play. But it is barely an issue since the spring holds the handle tight once opened. There is a „dead zone“ when using engine braking modes one and two though. It feels weird when you close the throttle since you have to get past that dead spot for the vehicle to start slowing down. It’s the same effect as if you would step on a stationary escalator.
@@ExpressionOfNothing I have a Panigale SP2 that I use on track and I haven’t noticed any dead zone as the throttle goes from open to fully closed when braking. For getting onto maintenance throttle I find it much easier with no play. 🤷♂️
@@sp00ky1969 Not sure if the V2 does the same thing as the V4. But this is how it is for me in low engine braking modes: Open the throttle until the point you‘re holding constant speed. Now when you try to reduce speed, you have to turn the throttle down over a threshold (a few degrees) before the engine braking kicks in and slows the bike down. This is what I mean with „dead zone“. And this makes the bike feel sluggish at times. This dead zone is more noticeable at lower speeds and goes away in the highest of the engine braking settings. It is especially noticeable when compared back to back with bikes like a BMW S1000RR that has a very smooth electronic throttle.
@@ExpressionOfNothing you seem to be comparing different engines?
Tommy Tank Anybody🤭
