2020 Ducati Panigale V4S | First Ride Review

[@roberthall1437]

G'day Mr Chops. Great video and commentary. This is a beautiful machine. A modern day classic by anybodies standards. I love it.

[@bruceleong9534]

Ari and Zack at Revzilla tested the 2020 V4S and a 2005 GSXR1000 on road and track. The GSXR had 55K miles, cost US$3000 and they spent US$4000 on suspension and refreshing brakes. The Gixxer was a second a lap faster.

[@KiwiMoto72]

I have a 2019 V4S and love it. The updated a few things with this model which is nice but I love mine. The front end takes some tuning for the track in my experience though. You need to really tweak the fixed suspension settings, and run it in fixed on the track not dynamic suspension mode. I also changed the suspension valves, and for oil. Its perfect now. Not sure if they fixed those front end issues on this model

[@hectorallanrivera9334]

Seriously considering a V4 myself, did you do anything for the heat emission issues?

[@KiwiMoto72]

@@hectorallanrivera9334 I haven't experienced any heat issues, but i always ride her in full leather and mainly ride her on the track. Its wonderful, but go see Dave Moss to get the front end dialed in. He i the horse whisperer of suspension :-)

[@steve940]

Stunning machine and hopefully I ha e one soon...also had those knox for 2 years...superb gloves

[@brianglendenning1632]

I test rode a ‘19 with full Termi exhaust - the most fun I have had on a bike and I rode an s1000r. The sound was unbelievably cool, and just such a wonderfully perfect handling bike. I had the money in the bank to buy it, but did not. Regrets? Yep!

[@barryc710]

Best looking production bike in the world.

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Great video mate! 🤛🏻

[@sk2283]

I want one, simply a beautiful bike with the performance to match. love it

[@czarekp3552]

perfect double yellow parking

[@kylekyle8131]

Awesome video LambChops! Would you please ride the ducati diavel 1260s?

[@R1koe2840]

If you put 10 - 15 mm static sag in the rear and fit a comfort seat makes all the difference, I swapped my 2020 S1000 rr for one of these and find the Ducati more comfortable and a better bike for me.

[@LambChopRides]

Interesting Steve 👍

[@hectorallanrivera9334]

You always do such informative videos; I'm between this and the S1000RR (in my 50s, love sport bikes); would appreciate your feedback on which one you would choice?

[@Rob-kt1lg]

Great video, be interesting to see you on the first addition v4s that I have and see the difference, as I have the first addition v4s and it want’s to Wheelie if you give it beans in sport mode, a amazing bike never the less.

[@scaff3450]

Stunning looking bike Enjoy. interested to see what its like on the road

[@oldman748]

Nice bike Chops enjoy. A bit out of my price range so will stick with my old 748 for now.

[@freshconnekt]

Lol, entertaining as always Chops. I see you admire a thing of great beauty when you see one! Stay safe my friend!

[@HippoDrones]

What a bike, I have a love/hate relationship with the Ducatis I have owned, but very much do have a soft spot for them.

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah it's an amazing bike Pete have to say!

[@amancalledjames9345]

Great vid and mini review as always. You’ve reminded me to get some Handroids...I’ve got to decide which ones. You’re right about Knox...quality schmutter 😁

[@LambChopRides]

Yes brilliant kit and a family run British business what more could you ask for!

[@martinp1539]

Not being a fan of sportbikes: this sounds exactly like something I'd like for a sportsbike. Sporty but comfortable in its power. Nice features. Good shifter. Looks good. A nice power curve for anti wheelie. Really something to lean through corners and find boundaries with. Not a great fan of Ducati customer support and customisation leniency however

[@filamrider]

It's nice set of wheels. Keep reviewing all them bikes. Keep it up.... Question between the 1k rr bimmer and the v4s duct.... which you prefer between the 2? Looking to get either 1 of the 2 or both. Ride safe mate. Than you

[@IanM2698]

Which makes the best road bike the BMW or Ducati? Or which one would you choose if you could buy one? I’m thinking from your other video The Old Mans Sports Tourer that the BMW makes the better bike? I think it’s so hard as the BMW makes the better everyday bike to live with but lacks that soulful and special feel that the Ducati brings! In a perfect world and the money to have both would be perfect lol

[@LambChopRides]

You've hit the nail on the head 👍

[@g0fwk]

I can feel the heat... and it’s not a hot day. Welcome to Ducati burny thigh world

[@mrrexy4151]

15 years old Suzuki K5 kick ass of V4S on track...

[@Mark........]

I can appreciate that its an awesome bike but i can think of 2 bikes i would get for the price . I love my knox pods glad they're a sponsor chops

[@LambChopRides]

Yes it's an expensive machine for sure! Pods are amazing aren't they 👍

[@jamest5149]

Lovely looking bike.. but waiting with anticipation of your supermoto build John 😱

[@ozbiker5311]

hi Champ hope you havn't had a miss hap just seeing when the week review is coming

[@Wats1984]

What an bike! Look forward to the next vid on it. 👍

[@walleviolencia]

Lol! Sounds like my FE350 really! Great content as always Mr!

[@gadjetnige]

The rear bank only shuts down on tick over. You can hear the change quite clearly, when this happens

[@LambChopRides]

Ok thanks Nigel 👍

[@RollinThundervlogs]

Cracking video chopsy! this video alone is making me really want a v4, what have you done! Lol 👍👌

[@grahamtricker4103]

Not a lot of point in clicking the bell icon as KZbin don't send out email notifications any more for some strange reason.

[@Shinysideup]

My favourite bike, beautiful

[@ninja636dac]

Nice one Mr Chops - beauty & the beast!?!

[@LambChopRides]

Haha the bikes not that bad looking 😂

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

You getting on track with it?

[@LambChopRides]

I wish I had planned something as that would be amazing but unfortunately not 😥

[@Rider_Tom]

Would you say it's worth almost 2x the money (compared to a low mileage 1199)?

[@dnast01]

Let me know how heat goes in the city.. Thats one of the main reasons I discounted it. Also if they could take the looks and sound of Ducati and put on BMW I would be throwing money down another bike even though I have just bought a new Aprillia Tuono!

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

I think you need to try it in track/race mode with tc/wc off.

[@donp9898]

Dose that make it more easy to wheelie?

[@ozbiker5311]

Cant wait to see what you think of it compared to the Bmw s1000rr m sport as a weekend ride bike!!!! not as tourer I Had the 2019 M sport 1000rr and looking at the new 2020 V4s

[@kevslife]

Great video.. spectacular machine

[@lynsmith1096]

Good first look video Lamb Chop

[@gomertron6329]

Beautiful looking bike.

[@deanharris9331]

Lovely looking machine but I'm still liking the BMW a bit more.....it's a difficult decision to make without riding either of them. Great review again chops 👍😊

[@simonhollywood5198]

Amazing looking bike, I think I want one.

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Ohhhh very beautiful machine. Some advice if you have any pain or aches while riding the Panigale, just get off of it from time to time, and look at it. Hop back on and repeat. Take care. 😃

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks matey 👍

[@MatNewtonTrio]

A stunner. Just wish I had that kind of cash and the space. Do we get a V4R test? 😎 I still fancy the RSV4 which sounds incredible.

[@LambChopRides]

No V4R unfortunately 😥

[@themeach011]

I think they limit the bike in the first three gears so it doesnt want to wheelie?

[@dannyracer25]

1st review chops very good thanks from Danny

[@Murphy252000]

Subs rising fast, about time

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Murphy slowly getting there 👍

[@jamest5149]

The Knox gloves look great.. are you going to do a review?

[@LambChopRides]

I may do yes over the Winter period 👍

[@ragerider6283]

Great review & very nice bike. Although just a bit pricey! Guess it's worth it if you have the money. Any chance you can swap it for the V2 when you take it back? I actually prefer the V2 & suspect it's probably a better real world bike in almost every way that matters except on track.

[@LambChopRides]

I actually have the V2 for 2 weeks start of October! Just hoping weathers going to be ok 🤞🤞 but yes I do agree I think that would be the bike for me

[@ragerider6283]

[@LambChopRides]

Good question, you're going to have to wait for part 2 of the video review for that one hehe

[@jimmyzhu9953]

In terms of heat , wt do u think when compare with v4 streetfighter

[@LambChopRides]

Seems much more heat.. think the Streetfighter without the fairing some heat escapes

[@AMPJ08]

I like how you keep it positive spin finding all sorts of nice justifications about why these things are so good and great and so on. Can’t choose :) from all your reviews :)

[@PAB712]

Interested in that mirror arm clamp-mount. A mate has an Insta360 I might be able to borrow, and mounting it on a ZX-14R with a tall, dark, Anti-Gravity screen is a case of where to put it... Would you have a link to it?

[@LambChopRides]

It's a ram mount with ball joints, do an ebay search 👍

[@PTVplayer]

Hello John gotta new motor 🏍👌😜

[@timselbie3419]

Just wondered if the weight on your arms/wrists would be a deal breaker?

[@LambChopRides]

It could be if you want to use it as you're only road bike. I wouldn't recommend big distances on it without plenty of breaks

[@samiam5326]

Che bella moto! That reminds me, I have to buy a Lotto ticket for tomorrow night’s draw. 😉 😂

Thanks Champ love your video's hope the nuts are not well done 🤣🤣

[@LambChopRides]

Haha 🤣

[@stephenchapman8344]

Great looking bike. 👍

[@thelastcoyote1423]

Stunning bike but surely a license looser unless you hold it back all the time which surely takes some of the fun out of it. IE - you managed to get into 4th gear once for about two seconds - I never saw 5th and 6th in this video. Really do feel unless you do quite a few track days (with 25K bike😂) or live in Germany, you may not enjoy it as much as a 600 or say that Thruxton RS you had last week. These super sports litre plus are just wasted for UK road riding now. Thanks for the video; please tell me where your mesh jacket is from? Thanks

[@LambChopRides]

Yes you are absolutely correct, I'm actually borrowing the V2 version early October and for my money that could be the perfect sized road bike. Actually more excited to try that on the road. Jacket is from Knox of course 😁😁 link in the description 👍

[@robh952]

Great bike for the bike cafe willy wavers😂 Great bike for WSBK and BSB, bit expensive for the roads you were riding round on. As a bonus, no wheelies helps keep your license unless you'd like to just look at it in your garage as a piece off art!

[@markmurphy1995]

Hi Chops! I see that DriveMag Riders are using your intro music during their BMW R18 review! 😁😉,

[@LambChopRides]

Why that's outrageous!! Haha it's a free youtube track so all fine 👍

[@mrcintheuk5596]

Good stuff as per usual. Thanks. 👍👍👍 Glad you don't (and please don't ever do so) go down the route of eeking out 4 or 5 review videos for one machine. You know the type, first review, things I've learned, top 5 loves/hates, etc, etc, etc. Zzzz.

[@Luca_S_8]

Talking 'bout some other British bike reviewer? Just maybe? :D

Not about that though is it

[@sivvinod3187]

It's sad that my country never got a 2005 gixxer

[@jonathanquinn3713]

To be fair the Ducati did not have the right suspension (which is key) so it was not truly performing to its utmost.

[@ghowells5433]

Agree Knox are bloody good stuff, best of British. Got rid of my v4, to hot and uncomfortable. Multi is far better on the road

[@neilking1]

A bit odd, when I clicked on play I had you showing off your H2 - 250bhp. that's gone and now I can see the Ducati????????

[@LambChopRides]

Hmm very odd

[@billstanden]

No idea the amount of truth to it, but the marketing line here in Australia seems to be that they get the volume by bouncing the sound back at the rider off the ground. You get a good noise and it keeps the testing meters placed behind the bike happy.

[@LambChopRides]

Oh right yes I guess that could be it 👍

Lamb Chop Rides I’m sure you will ... one day! To be honest , you are one of the few blokes on youtube I keep following constantly (some years now) ‘cause you’re keeping it ‘real’ in your vids (being yourself) and you are not biased 👍 just enjoying the ride, like it should be. Don’t ever change 👌

[@9guile]

2005 gixxer is not carrying around four catalytic converter's, weight gain from sound deadening, associated electronics and wiring harness also electronic restrictions due to sound regulations of euro3, euro 4 and euro 5. Journalists put out sensational sounding titles and the sheep follow without knowing the complete story. Noticed they didn't mention any of the above issues. The Ducati puts out more power per liter, has superior traction do to the modern suspension geometry and dampening. Once again, the extra power and suspension is hampered by governmental restrictions.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks mate 👍

[@BTrain-is8ch]

The complaints about torque limiting don't make a whole lot of sense to me. Josh Brookes' V4 is torque limited. Scott Redding's V4 is torque limited. Andrea Dovisioso's V4 is torque limited. Why do street riders complain about torque limiting when it's a proven asset to the most capable riders in the world?

[@LambChopRides]

Yes agreed but they only worry about lap times. Sure that makes it quicker on track. I'm taking about ultimate rider engagement, dont get me wrong is a very small point but worth mentioning
