Ducati Panigale V4s vs V2 Silverstone GP Circuit Full Lap, same rider ,one lap top speed comparison

just a little video showing a lap on the V4s and the V2 , Same rider ,same day 2 different bikes, both standard bikes, had some faster top ends on both bikes but this was a Ducati track day (1,sep,2020) and those laps had a lot of traffic so showed these, hope you enjoyed the video

This video is exactly what I was looking for 👍🏻 Top effort. Thanks.

[@ProjectMoto]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@chris.hetherington_realestate]

The V2 smashed it! Very surprised. The V4 only seemed to pull away on the straights.

[@ProjectMoto]

Christopher Hetherington yeah really only the fast bits on the second half of the track the v4 starts pulling away, on one lap we got the v4 at 189mph on the straight !!

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

@@ProjectMotoCrazy fast.

[@RX7FDfreak]

Awesome comparison. Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[@ProjectMoto]

Thanks , glad it helped :)

[@TheEarlster]

Awesome - love the comparison mate really sweet sounds coming out of the v2 on track, great riding from Matt 👍

[@ProjectMoto]

The Earlster yeah sounds great, don’t tell him that , he actually said he had more fun on the v2

[@GazVanDyk]

Great comparison! V2 for the street 👍

[@ProjectMoto]

Yes mate for sure, Matt who was riding said he actually probably preferred the v2 on the track too, thing is for me l, as with most people, I am probably not a good enough rider to get the best out of the V4s , it’s that good a bike you would need to be at BSB/WSB standard

[@anthonynewton7987]

At last! Exactly what Ive been looking for. A side by side comparison. Thanks

[@ProjectMoto]

Thanks , glad it helped :)

[@woobykal68]

The v2 with about 10 more hp would be a perfect bike. The v4 is too intimidating. You would probably go faster on a v2 because it would not scare the crap out of you like the v4 would. Excellent video.

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah, I prefer the v2 tbh over the v4, don’t get me wrong the v4 is the better bike but I just prefer the v2, was out on one yesterday , such an awesome bike, the one in this video is standard but an Akrapovic exhaust gives it a little more and also makes it sound so good

[@lordbentley730]

V4 intimidating 🤣🤣🤣 no its not...... I have had 3 v4orce..... one with full Akrapovic and upmap. Fast but not so fast.

[@Duskofoolacile7]

@@lordbentley730Fast but not so fast? The v4 reaches well over 300kmh lol. If that’s not so fast to you you’re just straight up lying

[@patthonsirilim5739]

get the v2 with a akrapovic race kit you drop like 7kg and get 10 plus hp that will deffinitly help out.

[@kostasevia]

Yes you are right my friend …!!!

[@MB-zt9eo]

Compliments! My white V2 is amazing

[@ProjectMoto]

Thanks .... and compliments to you to on having such a good bike yourself , looks awesome in the white

[@satchitysatch]

I was rooting for the v2 tbh!

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah I love the v2 ... the v4 just has the legs on the straights , especially on a track like Silverstone

[@paulmoggridge9431]

Was debating which to go for decided the v2 was the better bike for an average street rider with the odd track day so opted for that👍🏻

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah the V2 is such a great track bike and the power is more useable on the road :)

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Very cool concept and execution. Well done.

[@ProjectMoto]

Thanks , appreciate it :)

[@lagerx61]

Both sounds great but i prefer v2 sound.

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah V2 sounds awesome 😎

[@joesbuell]

V2 sounds awesome. Not so sure of the V4

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah the v2 sounds awesome when it’s on the move

[@Mr_Iain]

agreed! I was surprised the V2 had the better sound.

[@gary4525]

Awesome mate 👍 Love the V2 👌

[@ProjectMoto]

Gary thanks, good to see the side by side comparison, the V2 is an awesome bike

[@Shinysideup]

Both Awesome bits of kit,

[@ProjectMoto]

Ian they are both something special

[@2_Bike_is_Life]

Been to Silverstone twice. Pouring rain both times. Of course I am from across the pond and work only brings me there when it rains lol... Seems like a flat track overall. I think the tighter race tracks favour the V2, and longer tracks/track that throws shapes might favour the V4. Very cool comparison though.

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah that sounds like UK weather, yeah it’s a flat track , we just been Donington and Brands which are not flat, the V2 tbh is really good everywhere but just loses out on the straights on a track like Silverstone

[@TornadoF60]

I had a V4 and now a V2 and the V2 is the better Bike for me !

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah a few of us prefer the V2 over the V4 , think the V2 is an awesome bike 😎

[@abyalex235]

Why did you feel like that?

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Everyone I know likes to V2 better - for the track, anyway.

[@smokey9063]

Great video thanks for sharing.. I actually liked the v2 sound.. I am planning on getting the v2.. only as its mainly for the street.. cheaper to buy and insure. But I guess its which ever one makes you smile the the most

[@ProjectMoto]

Mate the v2 for me is perfect for the road, probably prefer it to the v4 just cause I feel like I can ride it harder on the road, just depends if you like a twin over the v4 engine , the v4 is really fast, prob a bit too much to get the most out of on the road, unless your a racer it’s hard enough to get the most out of them on the track !

[@smokey9063]

@@ProjectMoto I definitely agree .. I've had 1000cc for a while and have been wanting to down size for along time as you just cant use it on the road.. Also with the amount of dash cams now adays its probably too easy to speed without realising.. great video best v2 video out...

[@7oyful]

Great vid bro. Thanx!

[@ProjectMoto]

Thanks a lot, appreciate it :)

[@cg8168]

Nice video. Thank you guys.

[@ProjectMoto]

Carmine Grimaldi thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@marlounbayari1288]

hmmm... I would've thought the v2 would carry a little more corner speed. Maybe an adjustment in riding style, would make the lap time closer? Awesome video though

[@ProjectMoto]

In some places it does carry a very little more, they are both awesome but the v4 is a lot faster pulling from the corners and too speed, to be fair it was just a track day and was not really a planned head to head just had the footage from both bikes, and was the first ‘clear lap’ without other bikes to compare them, next one we do I will do a more clearer head to head test, the riders on the day actually preferred the v2 to ride even though the slightly slower lap times, I really like the v2 and personally prefer it on the road just because you fell like your pushing it more then v4

[@amoschew96]

V2 overall best! 🔥 🔥

[@ProjectMoto]

The V2 is an awesome bike for sure and easier for most to use and handle on the road and track

[@Bsteazy]

Are we ever getting a V2 SF??? Had the old 848, was a great bike but man I used to smash the limiter on track haha

[@ProjectMoto]

There was rumours a while ago about one, the v2 engine is so good would we awesome 😎

[@savvy121]

we got!

[@redduketeleman]

I have just placed an order for the V2 Bayliss in France. Lucky to get hold of one I think. The V4 won't stand a chance against a V2 with "21" on the fairing :-D

[@ProjectMoto]

Awesome, yeah I think everyone who got one has been lucky , can’t wait to see the Bayliss V2 , Will just give it the edge !!

[@ricardojorge5654]

just ordered mine as well :) Greeting from Portugal

[@ProjectMoto]

@@ricardojorge5654 hi, the Bayliss V2? Awesome can’t wait to see one 😎

[@ricardojorge5654]

@@ProjectMoto yes :)

[@headwinded1948]

Nice vid. Same tires on each? V4 seems able to carry more mid corner speed in some turns, and less or equal in others (for example, the v4 is 5mph faster at the 55 second mark)

[@ProjectMoto]

Thanks , yeah they were the same tyres, v2 and v4 are different size tyres though , although same day same rider riding and changes bikes is a little different getting used to them so a few miles an hour difference here and there on bends on a lap is gonna happen but the V4 just pulls on the straights

[@christosswc]

Unsurprising. The more powerful bikes already have way too much straightline pwerformance relative to their cornering/braking capabilities and lower weight becomes more important than more power. Regardless it was a very entertaining comparison of two sensational bikes.

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah for sure, was just showing them side by side with the same rider, both great bikes the V4 is just so fast on the straights compared to the v2.. the less power makes the v2 a little easier to ride ;)

[@ArvindSingh-hf2zd]

Regarding rider fatigue after a track session - any difference between the the two ?

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah the V4 is definitely more hard work, as in your breaking harder, accelerating harder and holding on to it.. but both are a workout for the day

[@ozbiker5311]

great video champ heat wise which did you find to be the hotest to ride

[@ProjectMoto]

When your on the move on a track or road neither tbh is very hot but you do have to be moving along at enough speed so you don’t feel the heat... but traffic ,town or stopped they are both hot... too hot, easy to solve though, don’t stop and ride fast

[@mehmetbulut722]

Great!!

[@ProjectMoto]

Thanks, appreciate it :)

[@ChrisG1392]

I notice in a lot of videos Ducatis have a wobble under power. Is that just a quirk of these bikes or what?

[@ProjectMoto]

That’s cause there going faster 😂😂 Na these are just standard bikes with standard road tyres so pushing them a bit they can move around a little, you can change it with setting up the bike but for me I like a bike a bike like that

[@Clint_Moto34]

Great Videos. You have a new Sub. 👍🏻

[@ProjectMoto]

Thanks a lot, appreciate it :)

[@goldenshark1001]

V2 definitely sounds better, great video man.

[@ProjectMoto]

The V2 has a great sound .. even on the road I think I prefer it, thanks :)

[@Buyajetfromstevemain]

What is the flashing yellow light on top left of instrument pane on the V4? Does that mean abs or tc is kicking in?

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah it’s just one of them doing something

[@Buyajetfromstevemain]

@@ProjectMoto thx… Just got my V4S and couldn’t find this answer in the 345 page manual! Many thanks.

[@Beatbassbusta]

That's TCS

[@Model1887isBEAST]

The sound of the V2 has character while the V4 sounds kinda like idk, just revs up and down thats it no personality IMO

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah , and tbh even when you ride them on the road the v2 has such a nice sound as you get on the throttle

[@MarkJones-re3po]

Can you change the colours of the rev counter. Mine is grey on my22 v2 🤔

[@ProjectMoto]

Sorry mate I didn’t see this .. I will check when I go to the shop tomorrow for you :)

[@lazperez979]

Great video! I have a v2 and noticed an issue with power at higher speeds I couldn’t break 134 or should I say it took a while to get there this video confirms that maybe something is wrong with mines

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah should definitely do more then 134 mate, the bike in this video is a standard bike, top speed should be 175+ on a V2 I guess

[@lazperez979]

@@ProjectMoto thanks I went for another spin the other day and tried again this time in race mode and was a completely different story I got up to much higher speeds quicker than in sport still a little baffled as sport should provide full power either way taking it in to get checked out

Brilliant!! Thank you; why hasn't anyone else thought to do this? This stuffs a sock in the mouths of the bigger is better crowd. Where I live lane-splitting is legal, but you can't benefit from it if you're trying to squeeze a hippopotamus between the Teslas and effing clueless Prius drivers.

[@ProjectMoto]

Ramon51650 thanks, yeah the v2 is awesome mate... and thinner then the V4s so better against the electric cars, stick the Akrapovic system on it like in my other video and you can wake them up when you go past too!!

[@Ramon51650]

@@ProjectMoto That's the advantage of riding tall in the saddle, you get to see what they're up to: texting, talking, eating disgustingly large burritos, rolling joints, smoking crack, rubbing one out, peeing bottle, swatting at the unruly kid in the back seat - seen it all. A sudden stealthy throttle makes them jump out of their eyebrows.

[@ProjectMoto]

Ramon51650 haha, oh you have the same drivers as we have here😂😂

[@Ramon51650]

@@ProjectMoto : I was in th eUK this past November and coming from a very crowded city that's bound by water on three sides; it extremely hilly and is cursed with millions of STOP signs; one thing caught my attention; London drivers haul ass in their cars only to have to stop a nanosecond later! Dude, I just caught up with you while walking!

[@ProjectMoto]

Ramon51650 yeah it’s stop start in London , it’s just down the road from me, if I go to the centre I always get the tube and walk, it’s quicker then driving around the place

Yes mate they were both totally stock bikes :)

[@s19hu]

but the v4s sound 🥵

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah awesome 😎

[@Carl4Ride]

Lap time for V2 and V4?

[@ProjectMoto]

I think they were about 2mins 22 or something with about 2.5 secs difference between the 2 bikes , i had a few hours of onboard footage don’t think these were the quickest laps captured just the first 2 laps I see without other bikes on track, I did also see on one lap the V4s at 189mph on the straight , standard road bikes , on a Ducati track day

[@Carl4Ride]

@@ProjectMoto Thanks for the reply, I was very impressed to see how close was the V2 compared to most powerful V4.

[@ProjectMoto]

@@Carl4Ride yeah it was only really about half way round the track the v4 started to pull away a bit

[@Ebbeebbeee]

@@ProjectMoto I honestly think on a shorter circuit the v2 and v4 would be nearly identical, its really only on the longer straights I see the hp difference

[@ProjectMoto]

@@Ebbeebbeee yeah for sure mate , the v4 don't really start pulling until the bigger straights half way round the lap, probably actually be easier on a smaller track on the v2

Yeah sounds awesome 😎

[@justgotouring]

😍😍😍

[@ProjectMoto]

Thanks 😊

[@kalheer]

Tidy.. so what were to comparative laptimes of both??

[@ProjectMoto]

Kal Heer I did time them but can’t remember exactly, il do it again , I think they were about 2mins 22 or something with about 2.5 secs difference between the 2 bikes , had about 6 hours of onboard footage don’t think these were the quickest laps captured just the first 2 laps I see without other bikes on track, I did also see on one lap the V4s at 189mph on the straight , standard road bikes , on a track day

[@kalheer]

ProjectMoto shit man.. thats some sick laptimes for silvers.. im doing 2:33 in inters as my best on road tyres

[@ProjectMoto]

@@kalheer still a good time mate in intermediate, Tommy Bridewell was in the fast group too and he made everyone feels slow 😂 , there’s always some faster out there , but think the point of a track day is just to go at your own pace and enjoy it, if you push over what your comfortable at it start to become not so enjoyable, the V4s had Pirelli Diablo slicks on and the v2 had the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa treaded tyres on, so the v2 done even better I guess, but then again some prefer the slick some the treaded

[@paulmessikommer4027]

V4 sound is singing/shouting more... ! V2 sound is a constant roaring.... less fun.

[@ProjectMoto]

They both sound cool to me , but that’s the great thing about different bikes with different types of engines.. there’s something for everyone :)

[@haolee1975]

what's the maintenance intervals and cost differences between V2 and V4?

[@ProjectMoto]

I will find out for you when I go to the shop

[@ProjectMoto]

They both have a first service at 600 miles and then every 7500 miles , they are2hrs labour and then parts, so depending on where you have the service done about £200-£250 I guess

[@jasonpatterson2143]

Expensive and really expensive.

[@uxjordan]

V2 best option!!!

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah awesome bike the V2 😎

[@jonasbenson6610]

Very often the 600 cc bikes beat tje 1000 cc in the twist as its more nimble and not as scary..

[@ProjectMoto]

Yeah of course .. the v4 around silverstone is so much faster on the straights but the v2 holds its own around the bends

[@doncappo1509]

It’s like comparing an m3 bmw to a 330, both fast but one is a beast and more track focused
