Just to compare. A ninja 250 weighs 151kg. The superleggra is 1kg heavier than a ninja 250, that's insane
Good stat! Pinned
It needs bigger wings?
Actually the ninja 250 weighs 170kg.
My yzf r125 weighs 145kg. 125!!!!!
That's is way lighter than my 250
People who buy these DO NOT CARE if the value goes down. They buy them to put next to thier bed at night to look at and dream about...GOOD FOR THEM....seriously!!!
Yes, add to the garage collection, keep them as decoration in the Ducati area, next to the Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, etc.
Absolutely!
They R call them wankers
I hate when people try to make that argument... I'm not buying a motorcycle as a monetary investment. I'm buying a motorcycle to invest in enjoying my life.
@@JohnConnor12 yep me too, I know someone who rides a 899 or doesnt rather because he worries about resale . Ride the thing ffs
Worth every dollar, what a beast, the Ducati Superleggera V4, an Italian masterpiece. 🇮🇹🏁
First of all, this is a piece of art.
I agree, and it will remain a piece of art for many years to come - unlike some others.
Absolutly
What Ducati isnt ?
Art is not meant to generate revenue. This "product" is not art.
Art that reduplicated according to sales order, so not really an art.
You have to appreciate a company who pushes engineering and technology boundaries to the limits just based on their passion and devotion to the sport. How many times have we seen the innovations from these elite machines filter down into the mass production bikes. Cheers to Ducati!!!
Amen Gene!
Similar to McLaren and to a greater extent Koenigsegg in the automotive realm... pushing the envelope through engineering and innovation to pave the way for these things to become more of the norm in the future.
As far as i know ducati is part of VW...
@@m4d_al3x As of 2012. The company is owned by Audi through Lamborghini, which is in turn owned by VW. But really, Ducati is a motorcycle racing company that just happens to manufacture motorcycles for the public to finance its real passion.
@@deanbankes2548 I don't think many if any of Koenigsegg's technologies have tricked down to normal cars in the slightest. They build things on an unlimited budget that can never trickle down.
With bikes it's different, because even the most expensive ones aren't THAT expensive. I think most superbikes today owe their traction/wheelie control to Ducati introducing it in the 1098R IIRC and later the more affordable 1198S.
I saw the Superleggera at the Ducati factory and it is a spectacular machine, 100k is a lot of money to pay for a bike, but it is a beautiful beast ....
I agree a piece of art 🇮🇹🏁
For the ultimate value/perf, I own a higly modified V4S corse (price paid:28K). Instead of buying the full akra for 7K, I buyed the arrows exhaust for 2K and a pair of Rotobox bullet carbon rims for 4K. I removed all stock mirror, Turn signal and legal stuff. Monocoque carbon subframe (2,5K) was added and 520 chain conversion (0,5K). The result? 230 crank hp on dyno and weight saving is 14kg. This translate in 160kg dry weight.
The final result: power to weight = 1,43 for less than 38 000€, which mean close to superleggera perf for a down to earth price. Can you beat that price to power ratio ? 🙂 It's ton of fun to ride on legal road and a weapon at my local track !
Stephane Tr I wish I had 40k to use for bikes 😭😭😭
Naturally u need a few courses to know how to pilot it ... But : one $ 50,000 , 1973 Cessna 337G , airworthiness cert. is on sale now. @ Trade-A-Plane : two turbocharged 225 hp Continentals , 315 km/h at 75% cruise , empty /gross weight 1,264/2,100 kg ( i.e. u won't pick it up leaning on the sidestand , BUT, carries + than supaleggera...) , at least u wont look for deserted pavement or pay for track use , service ceiling is 5,900 m , there's 11.61 m wingspan ( nothing modish 50 kg downforce here , only flaps down @ 110 km/h stall speed !) , my dad used to sell'em new in '71, flew me hopping power lines/big trees , pls. find the opportunity to try one !
P.S. - I was 20 in 1971 , had a 42 Pferdstimme R-69 S good for 180km/h , risky drum brakes/downshifting Acatene Übertragung to stop 202 wet kg + my own meat ... done since 300/14,500rpm on open road ( no cops before 0600 ) , '04 ZX10R , 185 kg wet & 16*40 final drive.
ZX10 R power unit broke alternator shaft , other story . Skymaster is excellent American stuff , worth a lack of mechanical trouble unavailable @ AUDI/Ducati , at any price ;:(!
good man
Sounds great can you post a pic for me please
You can buy the arrows but they are not even close to Akrapovic...
Not too many of these beauties aren’t actually going to be ridden in the way they were intended, if at all.... Most will be used as a piece of jewellery....
Who cares?
Loose Cannon ... The person who buys one you absolute bell end!!
@@Surfer_Jay bell end? Wtf lool. Uhhh no the person buys one doesnt care about that crap u talkin bout
Surfer Jay those that can afford one of these most likely wouldn’t know how to drop the knee down anyway 😎
I would not ride it either, every scratch or stone chip on this bike would make my heart sink..............Some bikes are just made to be saved for prosperity and this is one of those.
Sell my house and still have to get finance ! 😆
Sell ur organs too
Ducati lovers dreamed about this bike a long time ago... Perfection
Worth it? Not necessarily, that's relative(to your wealth 😁), but that is a damn beautiful and just excellent bike. It's simply amazing!
Alex D to be fair its one of the most expensive bikes and only 100k thats really not much if you think of it as the super car of bikes. 100k really isnt alot interms of cars bikes have always been good value for money since its a smaller market
@@freerider8737 agreed. anything that is at the pinnacle will be exponentially more expensive. That last 10% of quality and performance can often cost 5-10x more. That's the case with almost anything. Cars, motorcycles, boats, watches, guns, etc. For some people, having the best is worth it, and for others, having 90% of the quality/performance for much less money makes sense. Either viewpoint is appropriate. It's what is important to you that makes something worth the money, not what's important to others.
MOTOBOB, awesome video, once more an amazing job. YOU ROCK!!!
the best video I’ve seen on UA-cam ever that showcases this bike and others 🎉
you are doing a great job with your videos! keep up the great work!
Perfection Comes with a price which makes it art to cherish and with the the technology we enjoy from today; looking forward to the next one😉
Someone buy my heart, kidneys, eyes and bring me a superleggera...
I’ll give you £23
I Will sell it for you:)
The superleggera V4 makes the Panigale V4 look like an absolute steal, how did they do that?
Nihal great marketing probably sell more of the others now this is about.
Maybe that's the idea :)
I wouldn’t blow it on 11 scramblers, but I dang sure wouldn’t waste $100k on a single bike. I’d get all these:
1.) Ducati V4S
2.) Monster 1200S
3.) 2020 KTM 1290 SuperDuke R
4.) Triumph Street Triple 765RS
5.) 05-06 Honda RC51
6.) Husqvarna 701 Supermoto
7.) $3-$4k GSXR750 for the track
Don't forget the Honda Postie bike, for getting the groceries & the paper and it's red also.
Andrew M not bad,but why the 1200s...🧐
Brilliant, informative video. Thanks
I think ducati v4 is a very successful machine that can leave many models and brands behind in terms of design and quality in the supersport engine category. I would like to say that it is a wonder of design especially. If I think someday, it will be my favorite to buy from this type of machine.
Still not sure about the wings although it’s a fantastic bike.
Another great video matey👍🏻
DUCATI IS MY DREAM BIKE I WISH I CAN RIDE EVEN IN A LOW CC BIKE OF DUCATI... GOD BLESS BRO... RIDE SAFELY... watching here in cebu, philippines
Great video, man. Amazing bike that is...
Micheal Dunlop was scheduled to ride the Ducati this year on the Roads of the Isle of Mann .... worth the wait
Fantastic content, keep it up!
Cheers Joe!
Great video 🇬🇧👍
I wish you talked about the MV Agusta F4, one of the special editions. The last one I believe only about 100 of them were made at around $100k so it would have been a good option to compare against in many levels. Also made with lots of carbon and crazy power, and even more limited than the V4SL.
The Ducati Superleggera V4 is the epitome of Italian fine art and workmanship, there is no other motorcycle to rival it in looks. This awesome machine is worth every penny...can't wait to mount it on my wall ))
You forget Aprilia's RSV4 FW GP or SBK spec that anyone can buy. 250hp and basically a customer spec world superbike
Ducati Supperleggera. It should be in an Art museum, a magnificent machine. We now have the ultimate boutique motorcycle
from a major manufacturer, those who are well heeled buy now, keep it 25 years and you've got a nice investment.
Right out of my price range i'm afraid. One scrambler looks good.
defo the SL cant wait to see one in the flesh so to speak :)
Not Bordering on a work of art! It clearly is a work of art, BEAUTIFUL!!
I would be glad if MotoBob will have videos on a subject that is strangely not covered by motorbike sites, and that is "Long term reliability comarison" for different bike's brands and different models. Thanks.
Good suggestion, but I think the challenge is getting reliable data! I'll keep it in mind...
@@motobob I appreciate it :)
great vid
Can’t wait for mine to arrive
when it's gonna arrive
Leo Ironwolf I received communication via Ducati Monday that delivery is now being pushed sadly due to Covid19 within Italia
"Essentially a mode of transport." No, It's a toy, a magnificent toy but a toy none the less.
I could have sworn I heard him say "murrrder transport" like you're going to kill yourself...it made sense in my mind at that moment. Calling it transportation is insulting.
And that's what u call a dream 😍😍😍
I only know how good this thing looks.
i am strugging to buy a ktm duke 200 : ( even staring at this bike is like heaven for me
I mean... Riding it is probably dream to everyone
Absolutely buddy. I'd be over the moon if i could atleast see one in person let alone ride it. Hope u will be able to buy your Duke soon..!!✌🏼
@@deanduke1785 thank you so much bro working hard for that :)
If I could afford it.... I’d buy it. It’s stunningly beautiful 😍
Definitely worth it!
Cool. Now when I lane split doing 50 MPH, I can knock of car mirrors with me winglets! The real test of this bike is whether it'll run after the first 2000 miles.
I still want to see how the winglets affect traction in a high speed sweep when the down force is pushing the tyres in an inconvenient direction...
These Ducati winglets sound like Aprilia's first gen V4R and Dorsoduro fuelling system that altered AFR on the fly. Mine's locked up it's back wheel a few times at speed because of the fuelling changing in a corner.
An interesting idea that wasn't thought out to it's conclusion of "Oh fuck, maybe we shouldn't do that after all"
I dont think they designed this thing for lane splitting...
You do not get this bike at all mate ;-)
Firstly I just want to say awesome video! As a owner of a V4, unless you were planning to do major track days with this new V4 superleggera I don’t think the value is there (just for the bike). The standard and the s model are so good it does not make sense to spend that kind of money on a “motorcycle“ (for which there such a small market for motorcycle enthusiast). However, I don’t know if you knew this, but Ducati says if you buy one of these bikes they will fly you out to Italy to do training with a professional Ducati rider and you get to ride a Ducati sbk bike.... For me, that’s where I found the value; in the bike and the experience.
You would think those front spoilers would push the bike laterally across the road when leaning into corner... Unlike a race car where the spoiler puts force straight down into road giving better grip on corners
interesting observation😀 my logic says the same but we probably are missing something😀
I would just have the V4S instead, the first model, the best looking of them all!!
The rims on the bike were designed and produced by BlackStone Tek, not by V4Evo.
5:09, this isn't panigale v4r SBK, this is desmosedici GP 2019.
Yes lol 🤣
weight is everything and when coupled to high power it's a win
Wow that’s a masterpiece
The speed is squared so it's easy enough to work out.. The Wings at the front will generate 4.3kg at 50mph, 8.4kg at 70mph.
I cant afford it nor I'd buy it even if i could afford because I love riding my bikes to their fullest potential. But I'm really glad that this piece of art exists. Really happy for the people who buys it.
I just had an accident with my Suzuki Gixxer, my right leg can't mobile side ways well now, not sure if I would go for motor cycle again
Are the caliper mounts 3D printed? Those lines look like layers. If they're not, I need to brush up on my manufacturing tech.
I find way more attractive buying a 'base' one and put the best aftermarket parts money can buy. Even for a living room bike
V4 r
Spend the rest on track days learning to pilot the damn bike so I don't kill on the road
The Ducati hands down dude
what is stronger material the regular one or this one. aluminum to carbon?
Very nice although I'm not keen on it in the red !
looks sick
I hope he went to rest after the recording. Which is great btw. Subscribed
I know it's meant to be race ridden, however, it's such a work of art that I'd just keep it in my living room for show.
Depends what you want for the money - the bike or equivalent value in Big Macs ?
Ducati beauty is the best!
Lol you don't get the top akro exhaust with the bike?
For the 5% of riders that can extract the extra performance out of a bike like this maybe its worth 100k but for the 95% who cant a bike that is 80k less will still probably knock your socks off. Not to mention most people (in my area) don't track their bikes so a second hand bike that is 90k less will make you just as happy. As mentioned in this video its a collectors item and is usually bought for bragging rights. That being said, its beautiful and the technology built into it is just awesome and i want one.
If I had the money, I would buy 2. One for in the livingroom and one for driving. What a dream this bike is.
Cost, not worth! Many things cost a lot! Doesn't mean they're worth it.
Ha right, I'd rather have 4 used V4 R's
If I had the money, I would buy one for riding and another for the collection...... Dreams......
i'm a Ducati fan 100%. The bike is beautiful! To pay that much your probably a collector. Do another Desmo! Then ask for 100K.
"
Is The New 2020 Ducati Superleggera V4 Worth €100,000?"
No.
Yes
No
it is worth that much because people will pay that much. if ducati doesn’t make a single sale then its not worth that much.
They might sell a few but I dont see this model sticking around for long . Limited edition or some shit . It's way out of most people's price range. I'd rather have a built tt car or a house for 100000 .
Although being a Ducati fan, the bike is just not worth it by far. Take the R and throw half of the price difference to it, will ride at least the same. Or just ride the R and don’t worry about binning it.
this is a statement piece more or less i know lots of rich snobs who buy bikes and cars for status purposes. if you take a normal v4r switch the catalytic converter for lightweight performance pipes, ecu remap and and carbon wheels you'll get about the same power to weight if not more.
Motorcycling is a great equaliser, rider skill is king, my 2017 CBR1000RR SP wipes the V4 Ducati's at my local track.
Wouldn't have the garage space for more than three bikes, so maybe I would go midway and keep the Change if I had the funds in the first place.
wow love it ❤❤❤❤❤
The wings though probably efficient look absolutely ridiculous. Overhead a few people at London show saying they’d plump for the V2 over the standard V4 purely cos it doesn’t have the wings
Bikes like these deserve to be made
Most beautiful bike on planet!
Good video. When I win the lottery i'll buy 2 of them.
If.....
Good God that thing is gorgeous!
perfect, i just got my motorcycle license
Superleggera is the most beautiful bike among its competitors..so I will take Ducati
What kinda of exhaust system was that again???
If your yearly company bonus would pay for it, then it's definitely worth it! If I had that sort of cash I'd put it in the front room, enjoy it as art and use a V4R as a track bike. But for any normal person, it's not worth that because you'd never be able to use the performance, wouldn't dare ride it incase you crashed it and there would be so many other cheaper bikes that would be at least as good at normal speeds.
The wings don't only stop wheelies. Apparently, they aid high speed stability and grip and feel during braking and turn-in. Apparently.
I love how the V4R looks tbf. That aluminium tank looks class
The only problem on that bike is not all bike fans can afford it. That is a master piece on this age.
this bike looks insane and my dream to be own one day .
The carbon rims are coming from BST and the titanium exhaust is included in the total price. The real good bargain is to buy a V4R because its price is limited by the WSBK regulation (a little less than 40 000€ for the street legal models needed for an homologation, while it should be closer from 55 000€ according to Ducati's usual prices ).
Enjoyed your review very informative like you the superleggera for me please 👍
Thanks Mike!
Will it beat the turbine Y2K ?
It will stay on the wing mirror
I must admit if I had the money I would not buy one. Not because I dont love it exactly the opposite. I would just drain the tank and put it on a wheel stand in the living room under a spotlight and look at it periodically throughout the evening while watching TV. That bike is to beautiful for road use a work of art.
If I had the disposable funds for it, absolutely worth it, AND it would be my living room showpiece :)
I love it 👍❤️
I wonder if other manufacturers will come out with a new model where they clearly just threw the kitchen sink at it
Should I buy the Ducati Superleggra V4 or a Kawasaki (H2/H2R or wait for ZX-25R)? I wanna buy a sport bike. Which one to choose? I have ridden the Kawasaki Ninja 1000, BMW G310 S and Ducati Hypermotard 950 and the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500. I am having trouble deciding on my next bike. Although there is a curfew going on in my beautiful country (India), but I wanna plan ahead. So can somebody pls help me out in figuring this out?
But when you pop a wheelie those winglets will generate enough lift to do a 360° backflip.
It is worth every penny!!!!
Tom Cruise will no doubt be riding one in a scene from next Mission Impossible movie.
I've been told with the purchase of this bike, you get to Ride Chaz Davies WSBK, or for 30g more. Dovi's MOTOGP bike.
Now that would make it totally worth it, especially if ya got to meet, ridewoth Dovi hes a total idol
Considering that the equivalent performance in car terms are hypercars, $100k is a bargain
You'd have to compare the Ducati Desmocidichi RR with the Honda RCV213 (Not the superleggera).
I mean that is Art and as we all know Art is Expensive. Totally worth the Money
