Ducati Panigale V4 S (2018) ridden and reviewed | BikeSocial

[@DonnieDesmo]

Wow, seems like this bike really delivers! Can't wait to try it out.

[@autobot021]

you wish

[@DonnieDesmo]

Indeed I do :-D

[@kymtaylor5433]

Seems like awesome machine. But like so many machines these days with the tilt , launch , abs , stability , coffee and tea sensors not to mention 4 or 5 power modes yikes what will the bike enthusiast do in 15 yrs time to keep this thing on the road. It's hard enough with the V twin to do valve adjustments so do you have to take the frame off this V4 to get to the valves. Mmmm could be a right pain to maintain. But awesome bike none the less.

[@ghowells5433]

Would you recommend the V4 rather than v4S. Not intending on any track days just as a road bike B roads and some a roads

[@TIMHARTTT]

Gareth Howells absolutely recommend, u would not notice that much difference

[@The-Randomest-Guy]

Just thinking how good you could make any of the current range of 1000cc bikes if you spent a total of 23k on them... Glad they switched to V4 though.

Love the review and I'm a huge fan of Heat so this was just great.

[@bennettsbikesocial]

My pleasure, I enjoyed making Ali too! Cheers, Michael

[@joejr6103]

I realise Aprilia had design v4 engine earlier! Ducati just redesign the technology.

Bennetts Bike I'm just 5'8....Would it be comfortable for me?

[@bennettsbikesocial]

Absolutely - it's an out-and-out sports bike after all. Go and test ride one and let me know how you get on.

[@rahulrk510]

[@markbrokenhands]

If only Bennetts would actually let you insure this bike.

[@fjames5324]

Damn!!!

This is the second review I've seen the 211 h.p spec. Is it 211,210,207 214? I saw the press review stating it makes comparable torque at the wheel as the 1299. How is that possible to not lose power through the driveline 🤔🤔. Not buying the hype. Sounds like Ducati is making a lot of crap up and throwing more electronics into a bike to make up for it's new bloated weight, and massive loss of torque.

[@stevehash158]

Tom Dixon the bike makes 214 hp some has ps others BHP etc so you'll have slightly differ result in differ country depending on which units they use.. Ducati says 214 hp then it is 214.. many places this bike allready measured 10whp more then BMW s1000rr which has the strongest engine of all 1000cc but bmw fookin weigh 213 kg and this bitch 195 kg claimed i can't believe the WEIGHT.. og this is true you'll have a fookin weapon. The V4 speciale have 226 HP LOL and even lighter.. as far as TQ Its not close to the 1299 twin but more power.. everyone Said it was MUCH better then the 1299 in corner stab. Corner speed and flickability.. this will be the new force

[@damsela8342]

[@rabsputin]
