Ive been riding mine during the summer down under and its not too bad as people make it out to be. But you have to know what your in for when you buy this. I guess depending on your size i actually find it more comfortable than the s1000rr. Heaps of leg room on this thing especially if your a taller rider. On the street its very tamed when you put it into other modes such as sport and street. But yes agreed on the point that this at first a track bike. Thats where this things feels at home the most

As an owner everything that Adam said here I agree with.....my experience is very similar to his...although at a much lower rider skill level! I laughed when I saw him struggling to find the kickstand lever, this is VERY common on the V4 and one of my favorite mods is to install an extended kickstand "bar", makes it much easier to find. Also, he mentioned the HEAT this thing puts out. I just would not recommend this machine as a commuter or "one and only" motorcycle. It is a second motorcycle, particularly if you're going to track or just keep it as a weekender. Even at that if you've been riding a while and need to stop at a light or stop sign, your gonna cook. Neutral is very easy to find if you pop it in just as you're rolling up to a stop. A lot less easy to find when you are already stopped, my opinion. Great job Adam, good insights.

It sounds like its set to track or sport by default, so a manual adjustment for preload etc.. based on the weight of the rider etc... is always going to give the best results and for street use, Road settings for suspension are not just more comfortable, but safer.

Adjust the suspension to street settings, the bike actually rides amazing.

Dorian W. Right. When I first got my 959 the stock settings were garbage for my weight and riding. Did some tuning over the first month and the bike transformed. It’s now supple and and much more controllable

It must be the desmodromic valves that create all the heat. Other manufacturers have v-engines and L-engines but ducatis are always so hot. I have watched dozens of ducati reviews and thats a constant theme. It has to be the valvetrain. But ducati will not abandon desmodromic valves no matter what. Personally i rather have a monster or streetfighter than this bike. In fact i plan on buying a monster this year. But if i was wealthy and did track days often i would buy this bike.

Nice review. Beautiful bike but way too much of everything for me. Much prefer the V2 for road use.

It's a wierd thing - and I haven't seen it discussed anywhere - but Ducati made a lot of fuss about how their V4 sounds like a twin due to the firing order or phasing they have adopted. And yet compared to the Aprilia which literally "sings" the Ducati sound is flat. It's not good really. I'm more interested to know if Ducati has achieved performance gains through this initiative but I haven't heard anybody talk about what the unusual phasing contributes to the power and torque curves, or tractability perhaps. Surely it isn't just about preserving the "twin" sound to appease the twin-crazed Ducati purists (with respect)?

That construction on University sucks. I do that reverse commute every morning.
