@@deanbankes2548 I don't think many if any of Koenigsegg's technologies have tricked down to normal cars in the slightest. They build things on an unlimited budget that can never trickle down. With bikes it's different, because even the most expensive ones aren't THAT expensive. I think most superbikes today owe their traction/wheelie control to Ducati introducing it in the 1098R IIRC and later the more affordable 1198S.

[@stephanetr6083]

For the ultimate value/perf, I own a higly modified V4S corse (price paid:28K). Instead of buying the full akra for 7K, I buyed the arrows exhaust for 2K and a pair of Rotobox bullet carbon rims for 4K. I removed all stock mirror, Turn signal and legal stuff. Monocoque carbon subframe (2,5K) was added and 520 chain conversion (0,5K). The result? 230 crank hp on dyno and weight saving is 14kg. This translate in 160kg dry weight. The final result: power to weight = 1,43 for less than 38 000€, which mean close to superleggera perf for a down to earth price. Can you beat that price to power ratio ? 🙂 It's ton of fun to ride on legal road and a weapon at my local track !

Cool. Now when I lane split doing 50 MPH, I can knock of car mirrors with me winglets! The real test of this bike is whether it'll run after the first 2000 miles.

[@rsajay6256]

I still want to see how the winglets affect traction in a high speed sweep when the down force is pushing the tyres in an inconvenient direction... These Ducati winglets sound like Aprilia's first gen V4R and Dorsoduro fuelling system that altered AFR on the fly. Mine's locked up it's back wheel a few times at speed because of the fuelling changing in a corner. An interesting idea that wasn't thought out to it's conclusion of "Oh fuck, maybe we shouldn't do that after all"

If your yearly company bonus would pay for it, then it's definitely worth it! If I had that sort of cash I'd put it in the front room, enjoy it as art and use a V4R as a track bike. But for any normal person, it's not worth that because you'd never be able to use the performance, wouldn't dare ride it incase you crashed it and there would be so many other cheaper bikes that would be at least as good at normal speeds. The wings don't only stop wheelies. Apparently, they aid high speed stability and grip and feel during braking and turn-in. Apparently.

For the 5% of riders that can extract the extra performance out of a bike like this maybe its worth 100k but for the 95% who cant a bike that is 80k less will still probably knock your socks off.

Firstly I just want to say awesome video! As a owner of a V4, unless you were planning to do major track days with this new V4 superleggera I don’t think the value is there (just for the bike). The standard and the s model are so good it does not make sense to spend that kind of money on a “motorcycle“ (for which there such a small market for motorcycle enthusiast). However, I don’t know if you knew this, but Ducati says if you buy one of these bikes they will fly you out to Italy to do training with a professional Ducati rider and you get to ride a Ducati sbk bike....

I’m so glad he acknowledged the fact that downforce doesn’t really matter at 170mph cause you’re going straight.
