Man, we KNOW Zarco is on the track, ya didn't have to keep going on about it every time he passed (sorry, it was just getting a bit annoying you stopping to say it each time - it wasn't that loud or distracting, so no need to have kept interrupting yourself). PLEASE don't take this as a random moan - I've always like your work man: top lad, top reviewer...... I just thought I'd poke me nose in and whinge this time!! 😜 On another note, VERY disappointed that there wasn't a single V4 Panigale of any kind at the NEC yesterday..... 'stuck at the port thanks to Brexit'!! Seriously couldn't make this up!
It's hard to wade through the dramatic salesmanship. Dyno numbers do that in some ways. 195 rwhp ? That's the same as 2015 and up s1000rr and zx10r which are far more reliable and cost way less.
Sure it is getting easier and easier to ride….but is that what you really want? My 1299S is not easy to ride, it beats me up and can twist me up, but on that rare occasion when I get it right, I feel like I’ve done something. Not sure I want something thst panders to more and more people by being softened up and dumbed down.
Less effort and smoother means you can go faster, that's true no matter how good you are - I owned a 1299 and it was exciting but anyone will be MUCH faster on this 2022 V4, like multiple seconds. Put my deposit down
@@fzr1000981 but what’s faster? On a backroad having fun, getting through my favorite turns quicker? At 59, I’m wanting enjoyment and a feeling of accomplishment of doing something that challenges my skill, and not always being faster and faster. Making the crown superbike in their product line accessible to more and more people, by making it softer and easier…will sell more of said product….but at a cost of exclusivity.
The 1299 is fun but rough around the edges, plus being a vibrating oven. Any Panigale is somewhat exclusive. The 2022 V4 is the best looking bike I've ever seen, love what they did with it but I will be getting the Base model. I also had problems with coolant leaks on my 1299
That's how you rode a Ducati I just love the views, the roads and the way you ride man it's just awesome 😍😍😍🔥💯🤘
When i look at this bike, it gives me chills
Great video you got my sub can’t wait to see the 2022 superbike shootout
Thanks for the sub!
Nice review for us mortals and the under seat exhaust seems somewhat further from the seat??
Excellent and thorough review. What camera do you all use for onboard shots that shows the bike leaning from side to side?

I thought it was a good touch actually 😉
So true omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Agreed. That was really annoying.
Such a beautiful bike.
Fantastic machine but far far too good to be just used on the road with 215bhp!
Great point!
195 on dyno
@@fzr1000981 back wheel? If so that's correct. 215 at crank
That's what "dyno" means

Another great review Toad. Too many interruptions by Johann.
Still boggles my mind that you are still fumbling these reviews. 🙄

You need an older bike. The 1299S is a pussycat compared to an earlier 1098S/1198S..... try ride one of them hard..... that'll put manners on ya!
Why? Dinosaurs. I've owned many older bikes since 1985
Really hard bike to ride fast;you professional werstler to ride ducati fast
2022 is alot better, see the 44 Teeth review
Seat height?
Why is Akrapovic such a bargain!😂
For ppl that can afford it even slip on give u 13 to 15 hp on top of stock best prefor .if u can afford it since I highly doubt u cant😅
Pegs?
My names toad
It’s the same bike as the 2020-2021 same shit
Says a broke street squid who can't afford to upgrade
