2018 Ducati Panigale V4 Review

[@650ib]

Kevin is amazing but I still miss Troy. Great review and yes.... it will be bike of the year.

[@demolaj1]

where is yours ? !

[@avo420turbo]

650ib what up ib

[@triedproven9908]

I think this might be my next bike... lol Im in love... They truly built a bike around an engine with this one. Love that naked look.

[@cigarobsession]

Great footage, beautiful rolling art!

[@adamrbushman542]

Great review...could not place the voice he sounds like Carl Sagan at times

[@timalcorn5565]

Kevin is your best journalist. Love his reviews

[@thresh86]

Great sound , great and simple presentation , thanks

[@CycleCruza]

Now we need a Ducati V4 Streetfighter!

[@rodesnavel7419]

Hell yeahh!! Awesome to see you here.

[@threethrushes]

Is this a good first bike, or should I get the Busa?

[@jessemartinez4601]

Gerhard Symons fuck it I say go all out and get a scooter

[@krysistheabyss]

H2

[@paulklees9871]

Gerhard Symons just with this Question i dont belive that you anderstand sommthing about Bikes.You ask your self a Superbike or a big Whale with brutal Power🤔🤔🤔🤔 if you wont make long Trips yes the Busa but if you wont on Track and a Bike with Handling The v4.This two Bikes you can not compare they are totaly diffrent

[@thedakon]

Gerhard Symons It's not a good first bike, because it's too powerful, and power needs some experience and control. Start in the 500cc and less hp, you'll upgrade when you're ready.

[@Gersao2axe]

Common people, it's a joke

[@gianfavero]

Love the 360 camera shot good stuff!

[@aurorajones8481]

I just test flew this today, and...words cannot describe how fast it blinks to 180MPH. Im still speechless. Its my next bike period.

[@UTVH21]

So there will be an "R" with 240 HP ?

[@gregfranklin2017]

Awesome review . Well done , love it .

[@ZhekaSpetz92]

So is this the base model? And does the base model have the ohlins??

[@monsterMike62]

Sounds wicked, looks wicked, 214 hp @the crank? Sold! Thumbs up DUCATI.

[@dukedaz8920]

Great review but hay it’s a Ducati so buy it or go and get somethink ordinary,Ducati’s make u feel special 👍👍👍👍👌

[@KrestenGiese]

They make you feel special until they break down out of nowhere. I like my bikes to be working.

[@nfareview]

Spoken like someone who has never owned one and it parroting what they hear. The 2012+ DUCS are reliable as all get out.

[@meanwhileinbronze.5655]

no they are not. maybe a couple of them but not all.

[@nfareview]

Well I own two and they run 100%. How many do you own and maintain?

[@smjakober]

have only had a minor issue with my diavel. nothing out of the ordinary and on par with the japanese brands i have owned. Ducati is making good progress towards making bikes to ride without having to work on them constantly

[@michaeljkasnter]

After 1,000,000 hours of development, how come every V-4 , including the bike i test rode here in Miami, the 2- fluid resivors are rubbing on the windscreen when you turn the front end! My tester already had wear marks. it only had 34 miles on it

[@kavinsp]

Is this a good beginner bike or should I get a H2?

[@lefty6758]

What sets the V4 from the H2 I mean the H2 is the fastest bike title whats the V4 got?

[@SayoshiNakamoto]

0:47 V-Twin??

[@thegolflife7565]

The suspension is digitally controlled?

[@Banditmanuk]

Ducati sure know how to make a fast great looking bike. I've owned a Ducati with electronic suspension and now would not own one out of warranty (had loads of issues) Personally hoped it would sound more like the Aprilia V4 but guess they wanted to please the V twin traditionalists by making it sound like one. Like the Bell Isle of Man helmet of the test rider.

[@why9321]

V4 is the best engine configuration, Vs make a lot of torque especially in the low and mid range which is not there in the inlines, plus multiple valved engine are high reving also which make a lot of hp. So the nitty gritty is that v4 configuration is the best!!.

[@futuregundampilot4468]

Why the ducati has no frame slider?

[@why9321]

Hats off to Ducati for adding 2 more cylinders in their engines👌👌👌

[@PrateekplaysGuitars]

can you turn off the quick shifters?

[@ianmetcalfe1788]

Why would you want to turn it off just don't use it.

[@RicViperskylogs]

Great video will have my V4s next week (Demo) Cant wait 😲😲

[@rchurricane]

Warning! If you ride it you'll want it, I know I did. I bought the base model and overall I love it! Suspension isn't to bad but plan on changing it. Ok, the great points, the power of course it's smooth but watch it after 8k it's light speed. The handling....effortless! In the twisties you're a god. Dashboard is so simple to use and so visible! Riding position is actually comfortable and even has sticky seat for the hang offs. Tires, so damn sticky. Quick shifter auto blip so much fun! The not so good. The range, at 90 miles the fuel light comes on and thats highway use. In traffic its toasty there's no riding shorts on this bike, besides if you ride in shorts on any bike you're asking for trouble. The mirrors, hey it's a Ducati vibration and elbows. In the end if you're in this sport for the twisties and track days this is the weapon! If you want to commute it better be 15 miles or less or on a different bike. So far I've done just over 400 miles on it in the twisties and highway and it's the "weekend bike" and I don't mean taking it to Starbucks and chill'n I mean take it out and thrash it! You moderate riders might surprise yourself but be ready for warp speed when you twist that throttle open! Chow

[@YT1344]

5:16 No damper for that slapper?

[@xbladerunner]

That's not a slapper. That's just the Ducati dance. If you ride a Ducati you know what I am talking about.

[@YT1344]

I am not sure if I can be a fan of that dance!

[@xbladerunner]

Yeah I can understand. It took me some getting used to after racing inline 4s'for the better part of 30 years.

[@harleysrule2176]

Great review.

[@CPUspeed]

Wonder what the difference is between the Base and S model?

[@dudefromthebackrooms3306]

Suspension

[@Autospherechannel]

nice video, awesome superbike motorcycle

[@jW-kr5xn]

Not really a big fan of ducati, but this bike seems really good

[@CycleCruza]

Ducati may not make the most reliable bikes but dammit they make the most sexy fast bikes.

[@gelul12]

CycleCruza funny, Mine never have broken down through the years and i only ride on track. Most issues with any brand are due to bad maintenance by the owner(s)

[@dastrongstig4831]

I’d like to see a review on the Harley Davidson softail bikes not a review on bike that already has 10 videos covering it just saying

[@rossi43]

ducati put all his efforts to build this beast which produce 226hp 😱😱

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Torque isn't nearly as impressive as their Vtwins.

[@kavinsp]

Lifted_Above 2 big bore and short stroke produces more torque than 4 small bore short stroke

[@topgun8683]

I'll stick with my 2017 Kawasaki ZX10R, plenty of bike for me !

[@dukedaz8920]

I own one but lookin for another soon

[@NOTORIOUS_CODM]

RSV4 sound similar to MotoGP this one sounds like Vtwin

[@RecluseRR]

Its exactly the same firing order as their MotoGP bike.

[@MrAckers75]

Its supposed to sound like a vtwin

[@PradhumanRehal]

It has twin pulse firing order. Mimicking a v-twin or L-twin .

[@zimvader25]

Lol aprilia fanboys are even worst than Ducati fanboys. The rsv4 sounds like a turd at low revs. Plus it looks like my 15years old rc51.

[@rickyboy199554]

Where's Jared Campisi's comment?

[@dukedaz8920]

I own a monster 1200r and I know the old Ducati’s have a bad rap,but new ones r just as reliable as any Japanese bikes!

[@nitheshm5862]

Valencia is a go kart track. GP bikes don't even get to stretch its legs and riders seldom get out of 3rd gear. So 5 seconds is a huge difference on a tight circuit like that. I want to see what this cheater 1100 does around say Mugello, Sepang or PI

[@jt6620]

The power slide @ 6:22 was sexy!

[@-DC-]

Gsxr 1000r and a Husqvarna 701 or this?

[@Graey]

D C haha sign me up no question there. Visual drool is not worth the difference. Plus you want an exhaust for this thing? 1k slip on minimum full system no doubt 5k range haha.

[@dennisb7317]

What's that he was saying about what is coming next year's contender being a 999cc?

[@jessemartinez4601]

dennis B they make a version for actual racing in wsbk and bsb and they sell a customer version the R version

[@jaymoto9820]

Dennis B, this version in this video is 1100cc, so it's not legal for FIM SBK or AMA Superbike rules. They will release an R version here sometime that will be 999cc for homologation into those race series. Ducati wanted the street version to have a bit more torque so it would be easier to get along with in day to day street riding, so they increased the stroke just a bit, giving it that extra 99 or so cc.

[@dennisb7317]

Jay Moto did not know that

[@jaymoto9820]

Yeah the R version should be an even closer relative to the real deal MotoGP engine. If I remember correctly, it is supposedly going to have the exact same bore/stroke measurements as the MotoGP version, and with fracture split Ti rods and all the other high end goodies! Sounds delicious hahahaha!

[@nightrider3067]

Whats the point in buying a 214hp superbike only tame it with training wheels?

[@MJT-DA]

Night Rider So that riders don't get ahead of themselves. Since abs and traction control has been added to bike the death toll has drop by 30% for bikers. Not only that people are starting to want to ride more and riders has increased alot since the 80s there arr now over 3000 female riders in the US that was unheard of in the 90s. Trust me man abs and traction control will save you in the worst situation. *cough* hidden road sand *cough*

[@nightrider3067]

NinJayMan Then why not buy a slower bike lol.Why by a superbike and tune it down?I dont know about those statistics but i believe they are trying to make bikes for dummies.If youre a dummy you shouldn't be riding

[@RecluseRR]

MotoGP and WSBK riders use training wheels too then?

[@nightrider3067]

Tom J. O According to many of the riders in Wsbk and Motogp yes.And they are competing racing and the using whatever advantage to win and sell bikes.We however can just slow down and take out time.And they can ride this bike better than all of us without any rider aids.

[@Death666wish]

Go buy one and turn off all the rider aids and show us how you can ride the bike to it's limit without them. If you came back alive, I'll respect your opinion.

[@ehsan83]

close call at 06:25

[@zissou6928]

Whats a review really worth if it's not a comparison

[@minatormyth]

9enius so we can take a look and listen to an opinion of the bike. When i go for a test ride, i go alone and not as a pack with its class rivals. Give it a few weeks, you will get your like for like comparisons :)

[@zissou6928]

Thats not you on the screen tho bud. You're just listening to a generic dude say amazing and great for 8 minutes

[@zissou6928]

This guy said the exact same things about the 1199 panigale.. This is worthless

[@Miguelito0oO]

As long as it doesn’t has issues! I would say because if they are owners they already paid for it.

[@anuarcacafirus9712]

Berapa harga dia ni...?

[@muscleandimports]

6:20-6:40 riding the piss outta that bike...good man

[@bigsmokedeadmeme7904]

Good

[@Turbostu99]

still love my fizzy 50

[@viperq]

Insane, but yet awesome.

[@WheatMillington]

I hate these press event reviews. They're not real reviews, just press releases on behalf of manufacturers.

[@michaeljkasnter]

i get upset that Kevin isnt on a SuperDuke- When you have your own motorcycle shouldn't you be riding it?

[@adilsha5045]

6:23

[@MJT-DA]

Don't mind me just waiting for the h2 sx se test ride 🙄

[@jessemartinez4601]

NinJayMan is that the touring model?

[@motosocalpch7364]

Aztec Warrior6969 dude you are literally replying to every comment , you’re such a Ducati fanboy I owned an 848 and it wasn’t highly unreliable but for the price I paid it still had some annoying issues that kept coming up but we get it you love your little duc .

[@bigdigvig]

This is excessively powerful if it needs all the electronics to make it controllable. I'd rather have an MV Augusta F3.

[@Felsenherzz]

Really I want to see 959 Corse on the track.

[@ricardoelsphaggitoes2056]

I need one

[@gibshall2007]

Used to be L-twin bro

[@mustafakaangulegul4474]

Bize bunu anlatacak Altın Elbiseli Adamımız yok...

[@vaajchang]

One thing I praise Ducati for is its inability to make a reliable budget friendly sport bike.

[@henryhawk7038]

vaajchang So true

[@swifttone]

Unrealiable?

[@jessemartinez4601]

I don't think you've ever own a duc my friend as long as I've owned on it's never let me down as far as I know nobody else either every company has it's problems but you just don't hear about it because all other motorcycles are so cheaply made it's expected they are more expensive because of the parts they use I'm proud to own one a stare at one in my garage

[@henryhawk7038]

I can understand putting the valve train Ducati uses in all out race engines but not for street purposes.

[@jessemartinez4601]

Henry Hawk what you mean it works??

[@RidingNomad]

I want one so bad, in my opinion it's the best bike in class, but $27k it's too much for me

[@jsin22366322]

100cc between the duc and the rest. Not hating on Ducati, but at least the Aprilia kept it at 999

[@gelul12]

R1_Rebe1 well aprillias v4 doesent work like a twin now Does it

[@exothermal.sprocket]

How quickly does it turn the thighs into medium-well steak? All I can think of when I see this bike: theft magnet theft magnet theft magnet theft magnet theft magnet theft magnet

[@sniperv25]

There's just something about that red huh!

[@projectg408]

How bout that “Ohlanes” suspension huh? 😂

[@jboy2621]

Looks like a Buell frame.

[@NarekAvetisyan]

Fuck! I want one so much! 😢😢

[@TechWiz1983]

😍

[@jeffreymurillo3131]

Can it be really called a review if it was not tested on the road?

[@jessemartinez4601]

Jeffrey Murillo track review

[@BTrain-is8ch]

You can't do a real review of a superbike on public roads. You can't even properly ride a superbike on public roads.

[@joshthemigpro1733]

Its a superbike so y is he calling it a sportbike

[@dukedaz8920]

What is it don’t u like Ducati’s I take it?🤨

[@leuvenlife]

176km/h in the pit lane...? Dude that's just bad form....

[@dirkdiggler7727]

Rsv4 is King!!

[@Vziera]

R1 slay these

[@touristguy87]

There's one amazingly obvious thing wrong with it, you think that you're a lucky boy because you got to ride one for 10 laps around a track, all expenses paid. Has it not penetrated your stone head that these things are designed to be sold and bought and taken home and stored in garages and occasionally ridden? You can't rent one, you can't park it out on the street unless you want 50 assholes to come over and fuck with it and fight over who gets to steal it, and it won't run for more than 100 miles on a tank of gas. And while they have 215hp they don't come with a "get out of jail free" card. Oh yeah and they're $30k. There is a certain point at which it really doesn't matter how good this bike is. It's not just a bike it's also a great payday for a bike-thief.

[@rowanwest7907]

multiple pitcher medal pregnant evident event pause credit acquisition.

[@krysistheabyss]

Rsv4 still sound way better

[@MJT-DA]

Chris Garcia agreed

[@aluisious]

Sounds better, but all accounts has the Panigale V4 as a prodigy of sports bikes in all categories.

[@kavinsp]

Chris Garcia it has a different firing order

[@space.youtube]

Intro music? Please don't do that again. Ever.

[@roybatty-]

Meh.

[@riccardorizzo380]

This dude is a journalist? He can’t even speak properly. He needs to go to the Zoolander center for kids that can’t speak good and can’t do other things good too..

[@Absurdginger]

Riccardo Rizzo thank you. Dude can’t make a point or come to a conclusion on points pro or con. He says it handles “good” because of engine displacement of the v4....it weighs less than my 05 636... it’s a light weight super bike that specs alone should allow you a home run when it comes to journalism. Way to down sell a beast that runs right next to the H2 or pass it on some qualifications.

[@bc9629]

Exactly my thoughts he always sounds fkin bored !!

[@joaosoares3719]

Ducati bikes: amazing to test ride and look at, fucking awful to own.

[@oscarwilkinson5253]

Tea sugar bat sgypdr researcher magnitude arrange highly join flower root

[@steedu46gt]

I'll keep my HP4 thanks

[@paulklees9871]

Nicholas S and nobody give a fuck😂😂😂

[@Death666wish]

This Ducati is awesome! You're BMW is awesome! My Hyosung GT650R is awesome! Bikes are awesome! I love bikes!!

[@jessemartinez4601]

Nicholas S hp4 is nice but it's your preference

[@MrAckers75]

Your hp4 will get demolished by this bike on the track.

[@austinsears1637]

MrAckers75 Maybe, just maybe! It would be very interesting to see this v4 duc run side by side hot laps with the hp4, rsv4 and last but not least, a ktm superduke!!!

[@Juanitoabusadorcachondo]

sorry guys but my 1299s panigale sound shit more better than this v4

[@henryhawk7038]

Dukedaz, speak for yourself

[@knightnifaboy]

This dude knows nothing about that bike

[@AgentZero1728]

Awful soundtrack

[@PeterPrism]

And the price is 27.890 euros! Bhuhahhahhhaahhaa

[@paulklees9871]

PeterPrism i know how much are sold and what People have Buy one.People wich owned Japanese Bikes before and other Brands.If you not can buy this is not a Problem from.Ducati because the Speciale will be sold in Short Times and this cost over 40000 Euro.They dont give a fuck about People wich can not Buy one😎

[@qettyz]

There is no price here in finland yet, but for example 1299S is 36,990€ i would not be supprised that this starts from 49990€ :O

[@PeterPrism]

qettyz honda cbr 1000RR 18.790 Eu

[@PeterPrism]

paul klees I'm italian believe me to ducati it matters that you have the money, in fact they produce that cancer of the scrambler trying to sell it desperately.

[@mountainpeak3881]

Ugliest bike ever

[@jdord4838]

Great review..."Yeshua/Jesus is the way"
