Algorithm doing justice recommending me this video! Absolutely beautiful zx10r on your insta, the green gold combo is so close to what I had in mind too. but that red/purple/orange you got is stunning!! Does the infamous ducati heat bother you at all? I'm planning to get my first litre bike next year, hoping to just get my dream bike straight up and not look to "upgrade" anymore. Been bouncing between the v4s / zx10r. You mentioned that your decision was because you wanted something you felt more familiar with. Do you feel like the zx10r was still an "end game" kind of bike? or did it always leave you wanting more? Great video!

Much appreciated! Thank you for checking out my pages. You definitely feel the heat but its not too much and if you're moving it is fine. I grew up with a MX background and I am just more comfortable on a upright bike. I will probably own another sport bike but for now, I am happy with the naked. The zx10r was plenty power wise. If anything, it was too much and did not leave me wanting more haha. I just wanted a different style. If you can afford it, go Ducati, but the price tag on everything for these bikes is way more.

Congrats on the new bike, it looks killer! 🤌 I have a S1000R now but I've been eyeballing the Pannigali V2, always love the sound of a V-twin. I've had a Super Duke and an RC51 before, two of my favorite sounding bikes. Thumbs up on the video. 👍

@@QMAXIMUS thank you! My question to you is, would you pick 2024 or 2025 now with all the new changes?

Good question, I love the new styling especially the nose of the bike, it's a work of art. The reduction of power is an odd choice by Ducati and the removal of the desmotronic and being replaced by VVT is interesting. I'm sure the 25 will be a blast to drive so I'd still go with the 2025, it's not always about highest HP. I've heard also that 70% of the torque will be available at 3000 rpm which is cool.

@ most likely their decision for the new engine comes from racing. It’s better for them to make a bike that complies with the HP rules, but can also save on weight. Before, they had to tune the bikes for less power. Now, they won’t have to do that and have a lighter machine. Obviously, these changes come from the Panigale, not the SF, but they carry over. I’m personally not a fan of the new SF styling but I like the Panigale V2 and V4

@@JohnHubz Good points but honestly getting back on a full fairing racebike, my lower back and wrists would be pissed off after 1/2 an hour. I'll probably stay with the naked liter bikes cause I'm getting old dude :(
