Ducati Panigale V4 road trip?! Let's go to Texas!

Here's a crazy idea : let's ride a brand new 2022 Ducati Panigale V4 from California to Texas for MotoGP weekend. Andiamo!

[@nickrider5220]

Respect , that's some trip ! Really idiotic law not allowing motorcycles to filter, adding to queues and being at risk of being hit from behind - not good if you're on a bike 🤨

[@amv_moto]

Yes it was a great trip. Yeah I wish lane splitting was legal in all 50 states. It’s so much better for everyone.

[@SkyboundMar]

@@amv_moto I lane split everywhere I go and I live on the east coast. What are they gonna do? They can't catch you 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@bI5NISMO]

@@amv_moto that’s bad timing regarding the traffic in AZ. They just made it legal here a couple months ago. So you can filter traffic now on a motorcycle. Cool video btw!

[@MotoTexan]

I live in Texas and ride Harleys. Traffic on a hot day is miserable, wish we could split lanes. Fun video!

[@Mike-uk2oq]

@@SkyboundMar Do you not have a license plate? They know who you are.

[@pmudri]

Lanesplitting is only legal in one state. You can get a ticket. OH NO, a ticket?! I'd rather risk a ticket then cook myself for hours. Not even a hard decision tbh.

[@mikelee6856]

You are one crazy man!!! Well done!!!

[@amv_moto]

😆 Thanks! Actually planning an even crazier V4 road trip next month. 😎

[@richardhermawan7156]

I really love your video! No wheelies, keep things legal on the street. So much knowledge as well. I was asking you about the pros and cons of getting an F3, thanks for the reply! I ended up getting a 2014 non-ABS F3 800. It is an awesome bike, I just need many adjustments since I rode 400cc before getting the F3. Got the silver engine on it, and the exhaust valve failed but other than that it is smooth as silk. Thanks for your awesome videos of F3, it gives a lot of insights into having an Mv Agusta.

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video and happy to hear you’re enjoying your F3 and haven’t had any major problems with it! 👍I hope your good luck continues. Even with all the problems I’ve had with mine, I still love riding it. More videos on the way so stay tuned.

[@mattnycm3]

Kudos to you for taking on that journey. I had a friend in college that used to ride his CBR 600 from his home in Wyoming all the way to Rhode Island. Being in college he would make the trip on a budget and would pitch a tent in camp areas along the way. I thought he was nuts but at the same time brave.

[@amv_moto]

Wow. That sounds a little crazy but also kind of fun - pitching a tent next to your bike as you make your way cross country. Too bad I love a soft bed so much or else I might try it.

[@songun9799]

That's awesome. I had 2 friends ride their bikes one was gsxr600 and the other had a vtx1300 across country starting in Rhode island going to Washington state then down to San fran and then back to RI. They switched bikes every 500-700 miles. The 2 different riding positions helped with their fatigue tremendously

[@xTHEYCALLMExGx]

I enjoyed this. I ride a sportbike everyday for the last 3 years. I'm used to it and will be using my CBR600 F4i for road trips once I get her back up and running. This inspires me more to ride my bike longer and further away. Thank you for this.

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah - I’m hoping I can inspire some more people to take motorcycle road trips - no matter what kind of bike you have. It’s a great time! 😎

[@Midnight_Zero_]

I've been looking forward to watching this! Was a good time! 😊

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@simonstokes6561]

Great video. Gotta love a long road trip👍 I wouldn’t have attempted it on an F3 either. You’re right, the V4 looks so much better without the wings👌 Looking forward to part 2………

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Started the edit for part 2 today. Definitely will have that one done quicker so stay tuned.

[@jmhofmeyr]

This is so cool man. Exactly what I wanted to see and well done for doing it, great adventure.

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@j.taveras8447]

Yoooooo!!!!! I felt this trip. What a freaking legend. This was so entertaining and funny. The baking to freezing sessions were hilarious. Love your cinematography and narration. 😅 Thank you for this video journey.

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a crazy trip but I had a great time. Speaking of baking - you’ll definitely want to stay tuned for the video on the return to CA. 🔥

[@Dranreb865]

I envy you. Im a lone rider too most of the time. I enjoy making decisions for myself.

[@amv_moto]

Yes, a really enjoy those solo trips!

[@andybowen1981]

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video. It was a great trip and I’m already thinking about the next one!

[@MSKhan-dh9id]

Awesome adventure and very candid account of your journey. Thank You. I am 63 and still ride Sport bikes. I currently ride a 2018 ZX-10R and a few months back did a trip from Tulsa to Arkansas, rode the next day for over 6 hours in the twisties and took a lot of ibuprofen that night. I will ride as long as I can throw my leg over the bike. You Sir had a lot of patience waiting at that traffic jam. I usually maneuver in and out through the traffic jam. Kudos to you for doing this on a hot bike. Looking forward to your other videos.

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video. I 100% plan to ride sport bikes as long as I can - I’m just more comfortable on that kind of bike. Planning another cool road trip for the spring that should be good times. More videos planned in 2023 so stay tuned. 😎

[@959pilot4]

Awesome video! Can't wait to see the next!

[@amv_moto]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Quick race-day video going up shortly and hope to have the return trip edited in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!

[@akashnag3879]

Mad respect to you for doing such long distance in a super sport bike. Keep it up..

[@amv_moto]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned for more.

[@nakulmehta5492]

Tired of watching long trips on Adventure tourer as a HyperBike owner, really glad you made this one. Thanks for taking one for the team. Hoping to see many more in the future obviously with the heated grips and cruise control !

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video! 👍I’ve gotten a couple of V4 trips planned for the summer so stay tuned. 😎

[@stevef1546]

Thanks for the video, I have a 959 and agree with you about the fuel gauge. I usually get just over a hundred miles in race mode before the light comes on. We can filter in England too . 👍

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video. No idea why Ducati refuses to put a gas gauge on these bikes. 🙄 It’d be so helpful.

[@ape_rider]

Loved it! Nice work and beautiful bike! Congratulations!

[@amv_moto]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍

[@KiwiMoto72]

My Panigales are both dedicated track bikes. I couldn't imagine riding them daily. Their natural habitat is the track.... But much respect to you!

[@amv_moto]

#sportbikedailylife . Yeah - I've been riding sportbikes every day for so long it feels odd to ride anything else. Ha!

[@valvularadial]

Awesome video AMV! Such a great trip. I take that the V4 is slightly more comfortable than the F4 then. After 100 miles on my F4 I have reached my limit, my neck and my back start killing me… I am getting a Hypermotard delivered this week, hopefully I can do longer trips on it! You had a lot of patience by the way, I would have started line splitting after waiting for 5 minutes haha Looking forward to watching the journey back to California 👍🏻

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video! For sure the V4 is way more comfortable than an F4 so the trip wasn't bad at all. The ergo's of an F4 would have probably been torture. Ha! Yes, it took superhuman patience to not split lanes - I was so close! Enjoy your Hypermotard. That looks like a fun ride.

[@benmpearson1]

Great video AMV, an epic journey for sure. Hope you got to ride some corners on the way back... I couldn't stand all that highway!

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, unfortunately lots of straight highways on the way to Texas. I'm already thinking about my next road trip and I'm definitely hoping to find some better roads.

[@beeraiii8449]

Hey man, was waiting for your second video. I'm picking up the exact bike but a 2023 year date in just over a month. Keen for more. cheers from aus

Glad you enjoyed the video! I have another big trip on the V4 planned for the end of next month so stay tuned. 😎

[@jcrewguy123]

Major props to you my friend! I've ridden a few Iron Butt rides, but on a large, comfortable BMW K1600 GT and they were still a challenge. As a Ducati Panigale V2 rider - (90% track) and one of those over-60 riders, I simply can't imagine doing the ride you did. (BTW, I trailered my V2 from Phoenix to Austin for the Moto GP race)

[@amv_moto]

It was definitely a challenge - especially in 1.5 days - but it was a lot of fun. Already looking forward to my next Panigale road trip! So I’m definitely a bit of a masochist - obviously. 😆

[@bbbonthemoon]

Amazing trip! Being owner of SFV4(no gas gauge either) I quickly learned whats my usual mileage before the low gas light and remaining mileage after the light, so I use trip1 odometer as an alternative for the gauge, as long as I dont forget to reset it after refueling 😊

[@amv_moto]

For sure not having a gas gauge is so annoying. And because I just got the bike I really wasn't sure how long I could go on reserve so there were definitely a few nervous moments between gas stops. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@aka_pierre]

@@amv_moto one thing you can do is get one of those gas thermos that the adv guys carry and just run the bike to empty to see how much you have once the warning light comes on. Then top it off from the thermos and go to a gas station.

Cool! Yeah motorcycle road trips are awesome. I advise all riders to take at least one. It’s a great adventure! 👍

[@guitarmike4ever]

Cool video, nicely done. Good enhancement to have the footage with the narration of what you were going through. My son and I have been debating doing this on sport bikes - I have a 21 V4 myself which amazingly, I've felt comfortable on for 8 hour rides but really wished for the cruise control after hour 4. Being from Tucson area, it would only be 1K miles - I did get the heated grips added though - SO worth it 😀

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video! You should definitely make the trip, especially since you can already do a long V4 ride without any problems. You'll have a great time!

[@hawkslayers1]

Great video

[@bruceread4507]

Thanks for the metric. U made it very interesting. The fuel tank go's under the seat, no room for a sender unit to work a gauge.

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, 1/2 my viewers are outside the US so I try to remember to add metric. Yeah - I’d vote for a tank redesign to make room for a sender unit even if I had to give up a little bit of volume.

[@philip5798]

I also hate the wings on the Panigale V4, I wish they could have made it more modular so that you can remove them and the bike doesn’t look incomplete. Glad to hear your f3 is back and running. I too have a F3 but with a Panigale V2.

[@amv_moto]

Agreed. I plan on having the bike repainted in a few months so I’ll have the shop fill in those spots but no regrets with taking off those wings. I think the bike looks much better without them. & fingers crossed that my bad luck with the F3 is over! 😎

[@AllanG1914]

Thanks for the update. I actually got worried when you didn't post a video since new bike day and were about to go on the trip to Texas. But, you responded to my comment about my F3s break down and the RSV4 a few weeks ago. So, I figured you were just recovering from the LA to Austin ride. Lol Side note, I'm starting to wonder if the F4s were put together better that the F3s. Had no issues with my F4s. Thought of it when you mentioned yours has been very reliable.

[@amv_moto]

Yes, it just took me forever to edit down 30 hours of footage! For sure, I'll do a quicker edit for part 2! I definitely think the F4s are more reliable than the F3s, at least according to the owners and MV mechanics I've spoken to.

[@fjones1914]

I ,too, was at the race this year. It was an awesome time. The longest I’ve ridden on two wheels is Austin to McKinney, TX. Three hours one way. That was in 2005 on a CBR1000RR. Never again! LoL!

[@amv_moto]

Glad you had a good time at the race this year. Yeah, sportbike road trips can be a “challenge”. Ha!

[@SUPER-A333]

Gotta Respect a man for not lane splitting!

[@2_Bike_is_Life]

Love them, hate them... the wings do provide some stability at higher speeds. Had my bike 2 years now and love it just as much as the day I picked it up.

Much respect to you. I ride a GSXR 750 from Oceanside to Long Beach every day and my back is dead at the end of the week.

Ouch. Yeah I’m glad I have a healthy back so these long trips aren’t too bad. Hopefully it stays that way because I enjoy these trips.🤞

[@CoachKemii]

This video is awesome!! Hey wanted to give you this tip, my Speciale gets about 120MPG to a tank, so when I refill my tank I reset the miles for trip 1 and keep a gauge. Now, every every bike is different and if you have an exhaust affects but maybe it will help.

Solid trip! Even though the majority was probably miserable, you will always look back and remember it. There was a guy years back who rode around the US for a very long time on an 1199. Then he shipped it out of the country, and piled on even more. I forget how many miles he ended up doing but it was insane. All on an 1199 and a backpack 😂 He recently passed. Rip

[@rogerparis]

GREAT!

[@happyness5293]

I don't remember if I commented on this before, but kevlar lined pants do wonders for me on my V4S, and sometimes in addition, I wear a flexible material knee brace on my left leg, just a little lower of the left knee to help where the kevlar stops, for me, the left side gets warmer. I do live in South Fl. so it does get hot in stop and go traffic, the Lined pants make it a non-issue for me. Always a good thing to wear for protection, anyway. Sorry to see how badly you scorched you skin. Crazy Crazy!

[@amv_moto]

Good advice. I’ve since added the heat shield and that’s made a noticeable difference to how much heat you feel from the bike. Another V4 viewer said he also wears an Underarmour cool layer under his pants. Gotta say that + the heat shielding has been the 1-2 punch for dealing with the V4’s insane heat on hot days. Sooo much more comfortable to ride now.😎

[@nairbyad7188]

68 yo with sportbikes, but i take my KX1000 Ninja on trips. Amazed you can do this! I'll ride sportbikes all day in mountains, but no way highway!! yoga is necessary to keep limber for sportbikes

[@loopie007]

I've driven from LA to Vancouver BC on a sport bike. I averaged about 650 miles daily and at about the end of the second day, my butt was sore. Nothing like waking up on the third day and looking at that seat. I always took Hwy 1 along the coast to get there, but the return trip is through the Dakotas. It's not too bad if you have time to stop and see the sights, but when you are on a timetable, it's tough. And it's always funny to be driving through Idaho or Montana and come across a group of about 10 Goldwings cruising along. Big bags, trailers, helmet intercoms, etc. Next time ensure you bring your heated vest with you. It makes all the difference.

[@amv_moto]

Too funny. Thinking about heading up to BC for my next big trip. I want to take my time though so I don’t kill myself and have numb-butt for a week afterwards. 🤣

[@freelancerider100]

I haul ass when I travel- I have swapped out the 525 chain to a 520, and went from a 43 to a 41 rear sprocket, the weight savings on the smaller link chain is a big deal! I cruise about 130mph- The problem with anything above that is the wind noise is absolutely fatiguing!! Doesn't matter ear plugs or not... I wear an carbon fiber agv pista now and what a pleasure it is- my x14 kills my neck after 3hrs, the pista I dont have any issues with my neck cramping. The wind buffeting with other helmets distorts the visor and blurs vision when needed the most. I wear a scarf which really helps with the wind noise, I am adding a set of winglets with hopes of streaming the low speed airflow away from the back of my helmet before it gets turbulent meeting the high speed flow. I am going to experiment with some porting to the visor like the zx10-

The furthest i have done is Baytown, TX to Bertram, TX on my Ducati 848. The great thing about the sport bikes they throw a ;ot of engine heat on your legs in cold weather. In the houston area its unbearable sitting in traffic on the 848 during a summer day. I went to the race too but I took my car and little niece. Planning a Baytown to New Orleans on my 20 Ducati Cafe Racer next week for The Smile concert

[@amv_moto]

Sounds like a cool trip to New Orleans. Yes, my next trip will probably be up north and I think the heat from the V4 will be nice to have then. But riding that bike in 100F Texas heat!? Well, I talk about that in the next video…

Awesome video! Did not get bored at all💯 What did you use for recording? I'm guessing you had spare batteries.

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video! For recording I actually had my GoPro connected to a slim battery bank in my jacket. That got me through a full day of riding and I didn’t have to worry about the camera dying.

i'm cracking up at all gas station stops!

Seriously. Can’t ride more than 90 min on a V4 at highway speeds. #tinytankproblems 🤣

Very informative video. Thanks a lot for it. 2 questions to you 1. What kind of mobile navigation do you use? It looks sometimes like real view pictures. Maybe I’m wrong. Just interested it. 2. How do you choose your rest stops and what are your favorite places to take the night? Have you booked them before or is there no problem to find something ? I’m not from Europe and plan some trips through the USA with the car. That’s the reason I’m asking.

[@amv_moto]

Glad you enjoyed the video. I use Waze for my navigation - which is popular in the US. It easily plots out gas stops on the way. I usually choose my stops based on how far the V4 will go on a tank of gas. Going 90-100 mph, I’ll be able to go about 120 miles before refueling. As far as hotels, I use the hotels dot com app. I’ll usually book a room right before I get there. I’ll have a goal for the day and as I near my destination, I’ll book the hotel with my phone. But if I think I’ll fall short of my goal I’ll choose a closer hotel. There are usually plenty of choices of hotels around. That way I don’t have to worry about cancelling reservations. That app also lets you check out reviews of how nice the hotels are. Hopefully that helps. Enjoy your upcoming road-trip! 😎

It's crazy how big the country is. Here in Switzerland it takes about 450km to travel through the whole country (from Graubünden to Geneva). Nice vlog :D

[@amv_moto]

😆 Yes, it’s hard to show how big a trip even 1/2 way across the US is. It takes a while. Glad you enjoyed the video!

You man must show how you look to make sure you're not a robot! :))

[@amv_moto]

AI is taking over. I’ll have it insert my face in future videos. 😆

The people landing space probes on asteroids and the people building Ducati's, definitely not the same people m8 😂👍

[@amv_moto]

🤣So true!
