- Hey Everyone!!
Just my opinion as a normal, average track rider tackling some of the most exotic sports bikes Ducati have to offer and trying to articulate my thoughts on them!
I hope you enjoy this!

I love how you keep your videos straight to point, with no bullshittery and proper good footage. Nicely done!
Appreciate you dude!
agreed!
Awesome Video 👍😎♥️
Looked like a real hard boring day at the office Kate! One of the reasons people love your vlogs & your channels growing success is that IMHO 99.99999999% of us relate to you as an average, safe, experienced rider. At 56 & after 39 years riding i still enjoy riding bikes like this but have never felt the need to pull the biggest wheelie or break lean angle records etc. I just enjoy the whole ownership package
So gratefully for this comment. It means a lot honestly ❤️
So humble and honest review! You're the best!
Appreciate you
I love my V2, enjoyable on road and track. If the V4S wasnt almost twice the price of a V2 I probably would have gone for the V4S, but honestly I have a blast on the V2. Then insurance, maintenance etc. Both excellent bikes
Good shout!! All things to factor in! I feel like realistically, I'd be in the same boat! V4S will just have to wait for that lottery win! 🤣
No........dont pretend.....you need the V4
Love the honesty about your riding level. I haven’t seen much of that on the internet lately. That gets more respect than anything I can think of right now haha.
I appreciate that! :)
Great vid Kate! The Ducati range of bikes now are very impressive. Keep up the great work! 😊
Thanks so much 😊
Fire ass comparison for the everyday rider… Thank you!
Enjoyed that Kate!! Im there end of August so hopefully if your there again would be cool. Not going out on track again with you though haha
Aw, cheers, Chopsy! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I haven't been invited to the August one. I think because I went to this one and it's only fair, others get a chance 🤣 but yeah, I think we're best in separate classes 🤭😈🏁
Kate dear, I really love your honesty and slow talking for these fast beasts. Thank you from all my heart❤!
Thank you! 😊
What a fantastic treat to see you riding those really special machines on that gorgeous track. Love your impressions!
I watched this with great interest, I own two ducatis, both twins, and I enjoy both of them immensely. (They are quite different, each with its own particular strengths).
I know the V4 has a lot more power, but my feeling about this is that you do need to be able to draw the line somewhere - partly in money and partly in powered insanity.
What I do to keep the thrill going is to drive around (both bikes) in urban mode almost all the time - that gives me 100 hp, and after you've been using that for a few days it feels completely normal.
Then, when I go on a longer ride or I feel the need to have a bit of a go, I switch to touring or sport mode just for that ride. The flip up to 150 hp is quite considerable, and it feels fresh and thrilling every time.
I really feel that 150 hp is enough for a regular rider (like me). Would I accept more? Of course I would. Would I pay for more? Not that much.
Love that, and it's a great point to switch up the power modes to appreciate your machine with access to lesser bhp and then boom 💥 give me poweerrrrr 🤣
Nicely done Kate! Great riding and excellent analysis and review.
Aw thank you!
Thankyou Kate. Great video. It was good to see Chris in the mix - 44 Teeth collabs would be good to see. Really good to see your sponsors growing, and your link to the custom earplugs is something we all should be clicking. Have to agree on the overall choice of the V4S, and still full marks to the V2.
A 44 teeth collab is something I dream of 🤣
Thank you for a awsome review! Just subscribed , from ny. Just bought a v2 waiting for it to arrive from the manufacturer now. :)
I'm 55, a licensed and winning semi-pro Formula race car driver, but have never been on a motorcycle and have never even been on a bicycle, although I did have a tricycle when I was 4 years old. Watching this chick is quite remarkable
wrists down, ass up illustration was chefs kiss 🤌
Howdy Kate! Just found this video and love your style and explanations of this epic day on epic bikes! I am 68 now and on a Harley Rocking Chair as two knee replacements and two broken backs relegate me to a more relaxed position…but I have fond memories of my only Ducati- a red Monster that I can still hear echoing thru back roads here in Texas! Thanks for the flashback and saddle up!
Not many of us mortals can get near to using the power in those bikes so great honest review
I haven't ridden any of the V4s but I do own a V2 and i can safely say that it would take an amazing machine to give me a bigger smile than mine when i get off. I haven't done a track day and the V2 is more than powerful enough for the road.
44 teeth in the background 😂
Legend 🤣
his green gloves ,? Chris ! The zipper repaired or new suit .. 😮😋 ...... and joe omg 😊
Faffing of course
😂😂
True story 😂
Respect to this journalist
What a cracking down to earth review,absolutely brilliant,I’ve bought the V2 👍👍👍
Hey Mark! Amazing!! I've been riding the V2 on the road (in streetfighter format) and that engine is a peach on the road!!! 🙌
"With your wrists down and your ass in the air", you're turning me into a dirty old man. Seriously, that was great fun watching you tear around Silverstone, such an iconic track. Great job Kate!
wow great video and those engines, what a sound track, you lucky girl well done that was off the scale.
🥲 thank you! 😊
Okay now I'm officially jealous! Rubbing shoulders with Baron on a trackday while riding Panigales. MEGA
So mega pud! So mega!!!
@@UsernameKate One day! 🤣 I'll get there haha
Thanks, Kate. Enjoyed that.
Came across your review at the time when I'm torn between a V4 or V2 for track use. Enjoyed your perspective from an intermediate riders view. Cheers from Texas amiga!
Ah no worries! Hope it was of some use 😊
Fast LaneD 🤘😁♥️
Get it, Kate! Those bikes are almost as pretty as you. Keep at it, I wish you all the success you can stand.
You are too kind, I appreciate your well wishes! 😊
Glad you had a fun and safe track day Kate.
Now try to get the Monster you spoke of to take to the track.
I'd love to!
For me, the V2 all day. Its the essence of the Ducati brand that was built a big twins superbikes. Definitely feels like they're holding back on this one though, a 200BHP version of this would be immense
-The giant biker
That 200bhp version was the Panigale 1299. Ducati made the move from V2 to V4 because it was becoming increasingly harder to extract more power from the V2.
I agree that the essence of Ducati is it's big twins. They sound like a bag of rocks but it's still mesmerizing. It'd have to be a twin for me if I bought a Ducati
what a great day you had.
so lucky. anyone would love to spend the day with those two bikes on a recé track.
someday !!!!!
Great review, just ordered the final edition of the V2, I'd ride any of the three.
6:59 Better form and speed than me, Kate. I have only been to the Drag Strip. There are no tracks near me that will allow bikes. The closest one is at the state line 300 miles away. I will get there eventually.
I hope you make it there one day! Cracking experience!
Wow, thanks for the honesty!! Really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it!! 😁
Just found your channel loved it! Subbed right away looking forward more content Kate, your killin it pal awsome
Great video ! really enjoyed this one ! now i want a ducati !
You and me both 😫😫😫

Super Labombstic Fantastic Školastic!!!👍👏🤘🤝👃👂🦵🤝😇🙏👀🫁🫀🧠💓🏍️😍🐢🦏🐘🐫🐪🦧🦍🐒🐠🐟🐳🐬🍻🧭🛢️⛽🚦💯⚓
... and a sneaky and very appropriate bit of Uncle Roger thrown in there 🤣👌👏 I've never ridden track before. I am a road rider but I want to do a bit of everything to feed into my road skills. This has given me the kick to go do a track day. Thank you !!! I'll be saving up for my 1st Panigale 😁 but my little baby can out torque the V2 and I'm extremely happy with her 😉
I'm excited for you! 😁😁
It's nice to hear different points of view 😊
Ooohh you gotta keep an eye on that bloke in the 44 leathers , well dodgy :)
🤣🤣
Beautiful sounding bikes when your on the move ,
Looks a little addictive , when put the power down 😊,
Enjoyed the video,
I'm so glad Martin!
Great video Kate! Wow , what awesome motorcycles. Beautiful machines for sure. My thoughts are that you haven't reached your potential. Not even close. Be patient. Best!
Cheers Creed!
Gr8 review Kate. Sorry to hear you had an off at the bmw day, hopefully you are building your confidence back up, and be better for it. Those Ducatis do sound fabulous, haven't ridden either, but l'm sure they'd sound and feel better live.
Got an old ST1300 and its gr8 to be on 2wheels, whatever it is. Thanks again.👍🍻
Thanks Colin! Appreciate your kind words! 🙏 I'm all good, could have been a lot worse 😊
I really love your feedback on this. How you describe your thoughts about the V4 is exactly how I feel about my husband's M1000 R. It feels like riding on a dragon. Can I do that bike justice, absolutely not.
Can we do them justice? No. Do we care? Also no 🤣
hey 44teether in the background nice work
Yup, i totally agreed with u v4s is totally gorgeous bike.
.. I've seen it during pms on my monster...
V4 engines are the shizzle. I loved my Honda vfr 800. Not nearly as fast, but the engine feels like a mini american muscle car between your legs. And sounds like one too. I really enjoyed this video !
Yay!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
I was really interested in this review have been really considering a cool sports bike that would be epic on track I am normally top end of Inters or in Advanced and normally on a ZX636. I have to say I really thought that you were going to go for the V2 with the more real world power. Found it super interesting that the V4 was the one that you really wanted and enjoyed the most. Also appreciated your comments about having something smooth on track (which you 100% want) as I ride a naked parallel twin on the road and smooth is not a word i would use for it, so this was a concern for me about the V2. Really really interesting thank you so much.
Ah glad you enjoyed it Robert! 😁
Excellent Kate! :O) I pretty much agree with you about the V4. I took my beautiful, lovely, gorgeous and certainly fast enough V2 in for a service recently and they gave me a V4 to take out for a few hours... Oh my days, that bike is crazy but amazingly solid and planted at cough, cough speeds. On the way back to the garage there were 3 motorcycle coppers coming in the opposite direction and we all nodded at each other, luckily I had my dark visor on so they couldn't the guilty expression on my face. I could see them all thinking "I wonder what speed he would have to be going for those downforce wings to be effective...?" 🤔 The only other downside of the V4 for me was that it literally cooked my left knee by the time I got back. I only had me Bullitt jeans on that day (amongst other clothes of course). I can cope with my arse being on fire on the V2 on a daily basis but not sure I could live with the V4 heat from the engine and the coppers from road point of view.🏍;O)
Haha they are nut roasters aren't they 🙈🙈🙈
This is great footage.
I like and appreciate your honesty. I could totally relate to your V2 opinion because I own a 2023 Ducati V2 Streetfighter and there is a lot of similarity I imagine with the V2 Panagale. The V2 engine is more than ample for street use. I agree with you in the great manners of the V2
This was so fun to watch. How can you not love the V4 but I'd buy the V2 and a KTM dirt bike!
Kate the big question would you have the bike in red 😊
That V2 in black looks pretty tasty!
just prior to watching your vid, I decided to get a Panigale V2. my CBR1000RR has enough power. i just don't need that much power, even on nearby VIR. appreciating handling over power these days. can't deny the power of that v4 must be intoxicating.
Hopefully your channel will work out and you’ll be able to buy that v4.
Nice work and riding.
V2 with semi active suspension is what Duc should do IMO. That helps a lot on road bumps etc also
In Ducati Panigale models V2 is a entry level bike, but don’t get it wrong please, this V2 is way more powerful then GSX-R 750, means for Ducati V2 is entry level but not a entry level comparing with other brands, it’s above and beyond 😅 level, just electronic helps a lot, Ducati master it for beginners
Doing a Great job Kate keep up the Great work you Do Enjoy
Great video Kate! love the new gear, looks sharp!
Cheers!!
2024 😳🇵🇷
I know that you film these videos well in advance, but is there any chance you can continue the comparisons for the Street fighters and the Multistradas? Thanks for the content and commitment.
Love comments like this! That sounds like a good idea!
Love it. You sound like my mate who has a V4 😂😂 spot on. And the baron spanking that multi is hilarious. Emotional damage indeed.
That man is rapidddd. He was dominating the fast group on it so I feel no shame 🤣
@@UsernameKate no shame at all, the man's a majestic beast 😁
Great video. Love my V2 Bayliss and I saw a few out on track with you 😁 Full Akra on a Panigale V2 and it sounds insane haha
Ooooh nice!!!
A joy to watch.
Now to try them back to back at Cadwell. Do it Ducati!
V2 Troy Bayliss special would be my dream bike
Great review Kate. Picked up my23 V4S few months ago. Loving every minute i ride her. Need to put some track time on her.
I am literally on the verge of putting a deposit down for a V4S. But I am worried that it won’t be that much better than a V2.
@@sambyf2445 if you can swing the V4S, go for it. You'll notice it riding the street and specially on the track.
Great take on these powerful and potentially dangerous bikes from the view of average Joe/Jane.
She’s no average Jane she has balls
It feels like a fury between your legs 😄 Yess: the V4S!
Crashtest Goat has the V4S. He does push those limits you and I are not able to do... Yet
🤞🤞🤞
Multistrada V2 vs V4 coming soon? I'd take the V2S for street.
You're not the first to suggest that! You guys might be onto something!
Beautiful bikes you very lucky 👍
Very lucky indeed 🙏
May 29 🇵🇷😳 Low key want to do aroll race bike 😱😲
Great video as always Kate. Number one, you certainly undersell yourself as your an awesome rider. Number two, would you say the V4S is the most exciting bike you’ve ridden? What an awesome opportunity to ride this on track, well done you! 😁🙌
I don't think I undersell myself, I think I'm just realistic 😁 People see through it when you think you're better than you are and chat garbage 🤣 and most exciting on track, definitely!
@@UsernameKate I get that for sure but I certainly admire your skills and honesty! 🥰
too kind!
The look of love of the V4 😂 … I can tell your in love ❤️😂 personally prefer a rice burner …. ie > Gixxer … R1 …. Zx10 🤭
v2 or v4... we commoners won't even squeeze out full 60% of their full power... but man i love to have one.... insanely beautiful bikes...
Well, I’ll have to blunder on with me ancient 600 Pantah then. 😁
😊
Maybe Ducati supersport is a good all around bike. Touring, Sunday canyons, track, city commute, etc.
Olds like a fun day at the office, any anxiety going on track after the mishap? My office today is somewhere between St. Martin and Florida cruising about 16 knots.
Yeah, I didn't think I'd be that affected but the issue is being full time self employed, if something happens, ain't no sick pay 🤣
@@UsernameKate I was self employed most of my working life… I married a good woman with a good job and great health benefits that covered us both.
Instantly spotted BaronVonGrumble in the background!! 🤣🤣
Nice one Kate 😎👍🏽
Thanks!!
Good old Chris what a gent.
Such a gent
Its the rider not the bike.. I was at this track day mixing it up in fast group with the V4’s and Chris on the PP and overtaking the bigger bikes on my Hyper 950.. anyone can ride fast in a straight line, but wheres the fun in that.
Looks like a great day and glad you had a great time.😎
For me both are track bikes so not for me as 99% road rider (plus, more importantly I can't afford either 🤣)
Great video - keep it up.
Mr Eades representing on the multistrada there! Finally a viable GS replacement Kate?
For him? Or for me? 😅
@@UsernameKate for you 😎 He's too much of BMVV fanboy to let go 😂
The flamingo leathers 😂 nice video, Kate.
Iconic 🤣
KaTe you are so PreTTy . . . . I have the 2023 X-Diavel (1262cc V2) . . . I had tested the Panigale 955cc V2 . . . & . . Scrambler 1100cc V2 . . & . . Monster 937cc V2 . . . & . . Multistrada V4 . . . but haven't yet tried the Panigale/Streetfighter V4 . . . if I had to get another Ducati . . it would be Streetfighter-V2 or Supersport-950S or Hypermotard-SP or Desert-X or Panigale V4
I also own the 2022 Gen 3 Hayabusa, 2021 Triumph Trident 660, 2020 KTM 390 Duke, 2023 Yamaha R15
Sounds like quite the stable! 🐎
@@UsernameKate thanks Kate, much love & regards, from India
also, have pre-booked my 6th bike, the Triumph Scrambler 400X which is due in October
Baron Von Grumbel 🙂🙂🙂 Such an awesome guy!!!
So kind
If your spending 19k than 22k isnt a stretch....cant imagine someone buying a V2 based on price.....it would have to be a preferred engine choice
Wow wow amazing what a great time you're having. Where did I go wrong 😂😂😂
Kate, which would you chose Streetfighter V4S or M1000R?
Hanging with good company with 44 Teeth Chris.
Thank you, Blake
I'd like to ride the SFV4S on the road road before commenting 😁
Great useful and honest review ❤
Thanks 😊
In the south, we would say “that Lady’s got sand”. Meaning, highly capable and brave as hell. 😎 🇺🇸
Appreciate that!
Very beautiful Ducati motorcykle😊👍🌞👏💪
I would buy a road going Molnar Manx Norton!!!
Nicely done Kate. As usual. As with most things in life, it comes down to money. But not everything. If you become more experienced and could push the V2 closer to its limits, would you feel more satisfied than getting 75% out of the V4? It comes down to fun and excitement. Right? Then there is that ten grand difference allowing you to, get to the track, pay for gas and track costs and having a nice dinner afterwards. No, its still the V4. Right?
Probably still V4 😅 I'm just a 'feeling' type of girl haha
Awesome video. ☺️
Thanks!
Was thinking you were gonna wear the Ruroc track helmet. But I guess the customer service issues and the quality issue you found out quick.
Not at all. I havent even tried the Ruroc Track on but if you find a helmet that fits you as well as my Shoei X Spirit 3 does, it's hard to wear anything else.
Did you keep track of any lap times between bikes? That would be a interesting comparison.
Right on girl!
