PANIGALE V4 or RSV4 | WHO'S THE TOP ITALIAN? | WARRANTY, RECALLS, PERFORMANCE, COMFORT

[@jarosawskrzypek1373]

I’m amazed at how impeccably clean you keep your bikes. They look like they’re straight out of a showroom. Well done!

[@ridewithKY]

Thank you for the compliment! When you work so hard to buy these things you want to at least try to keep them nice! Thank you for the comment. 👊🏽.

[@JohnSmith-yv7dx]

Excellent review and very helpful take on the rsv4 and v4. Was choosing between the 2 bikes and was leaning towards the rsv4 eventhough the panigale is an excellent bike. I've always liked the rsv4 engine over the v4. Also, like you, prefer to blend in and not stand out so much as when you're on a Ducati. Thanks for the review. Much appreciated 😊 👍

[@ridewithKY]

Glad the video was helpful! The good thing is if you are trying to choose between a V4 and RSV4, there’s no wrong decisions. It’s hard to be sad on an RSV4 or V4 😂.

[@notsureonthisusername3319]

The Aprilia is just raw and in your face, and that's why I love it.

[@ridewithKY]

It really is. RSV4 is far from perfect but man it’s impossible not to love it.

[@moto_operandi]

Wow im shocked at the end with your pick. I was totally expecting you leaning on the ducati there with all that saying that ducati is a better bike and all. What a plot twist lol.

[@ridewithKY]

Yeah I mean it took a while to really land on something. I think if you just ride an RSV4 and V4 back to back, most people would choose the V4. Afterall when you look at most content creators, that’s what they do. Maybe they own a V4 and then borrow somebody else’s RSV4 for the day and then try to tell you which one they like better. It’s hard to really form a conclusion that way. That’s why I waited so long to make this video. It’s not really fair to the other bike when you’ve spent 6 months on one and 1 day on the other. I stand by my conclusion the V4 is a better bike, but the RSV4 is just full of character and that 1099cc Aprilia engine is just a crown jewel of the motorcycle world. Take care man. 👊🏽.

[@matejdimitrievski5967]

bro you are a legend and blessed to have this collection btw you have the best APE look with vinyls in the world total murder on the road greetings to you 😀😀😀 APE FTW!!!

[@ridewithKY]

Haha no man I’m not a legend. I’m just a regular guy, but agree I am super blessed. I am so thankful to have what I have. Appreciate all the positive comments and glad you like what I’ve done to the Aprilia. Take care man. 👊🏽.

[@davpn1348]

Merci pour ce retour, top!👍

[@ridewithKY]

Thank you for watching and for the comment!

[@falka6751]

Love your vids, keep it up 💯

[@ridewithKY]

Appreciate it, thank you for your continuous support! 👊🏽.

[@RB52Dogan]

that's crazy you put 1600 miles on the rsv4 for a year. I put 14k miles on my 24 rsv4 in 7 months

[@ridewithKY]

Glad you get out often on your RSV4 👊🏽.

[@ShartintRump]

​@@ridewithKY😂😂😂😂 You got multiple vehicles 😂😂😂 gotta spread it out😂😂😂 Poor guy 😂😂😂

[@ridewithKY]

@ShartintRump haha! It is difficult to rack up the miles on any one particular vehicle when you have a few to choose from. Plus I don’t have a long commute or anything like that. Appreciate the comment and the laugh. 😂.

[@ValerieVon]

Same!! I put about 1k miles every three weeks 😅

[@Bahle_Gaji]

@@ShartintRumplol 😆

[@andrevuurboom3710]

Great vid! I love both those bikes but went the RSV4 route. For me the better bike. Also Aprilia part availability is not so much an issue here in the Netherlands. Also ordered some carbon parts from Maxicarbon after seeing your videos. Thanks man!

[@ridewithKY]

Man that’s awesome to hear and glad part availability is much better in your country. Hope you are enjoying those Maxicarbon parts. They certainly aren’t perfect but I’ve seen carbon that’s a lot worse that’s for sure. Thank you for your support!

[@TheItalianZone]

I like your comparisons to cars!

[@ridewithKY]

Appreciate it! Motorcycles are fairly new to me, but I have a lot of experience in the car world so making those links comes natural for me. Thank you for watching and for commenting!

[@Exitstrategies1]

Have V4R 2020 and RSV4F 2023, both full race exhausts. For me ride wise RSV4>V4R. Quality V4R>RSV4. Blessed to have both. I agree with most of your sentiments! Although to me the Ape is easier to work on, Duc is harder to take apart and install items.

[@ridewithKY]

Same brother. I’m just grateful to have either of these machines. Having both is an absolute blessing. The aprilia is easier to work on in certain ways and the Ducati is easier to work on in other ways. Ducati might have a little more complicated design language, but the way that Aprilia uses 5 different types of fasteners to hold a side fairing on is just asinine. Enjoy your R and RSV4F, ride safe bro.

[@ShartintRump]

Ducati....the ultimate Winter bike....I think the "head" directions on the Ducati....is the heat problem...."I think"....another vlogger.... brought this up

[@ridewithKY]

Yup. Heat is a big one. It’s more than just being uncomfortable. Summer time you will bake on these bikes. I don’t know why Ducati just can’t figure that heat part out for these Panigale’s.

[@MvpmazaFaka-mo3xe]

Thank you so much for great video!)

[@ridewithKY]

No, thank YOU for watching!

[@mauricioramirez1456]

Great video, really good comparison. I had and RSV4 which I traded for my 2024 s1000rr, you are correct, the controls in the RSV4 are not the greatest, compared to the other bikes. But that engine, How I miss that engine sound. I will get another RSV4, I think I can squeeze one more bike in my garage.....

[@ridewithKY]

S1000RR is a great bike as well. That 1099cc Aprilia V4 is just a magnificent engine. Basically it’s the single component that makes the bike. Hope you end up being to squeeze it into your garage next to your 1krr.

[@jody1031]

Have you ridden a Tuono? If so how does that compare to the RSV4? I compared a Streetfighter to the Tuono and the SF feel like it has no torque down low.

[@ridewithKY]

I have not gotten the opportunity to check out a Tuono, but would like to. I like how the Tuono has at least some fairings so you get some wind protection. You are right about the 1103 Ducati V4, no bottom end compared to the Aprilia 1099. The Tuono’s are also geared a little shorter so that’ll make it feel stronger down low too.

[@LKESBO]

As a 6.2 i can't ride the rsv4 , i love it but very difficult to ride, tuano is good option for tall riders, V4 is always a winner for me ,3rd new one next week for me😂

[@ridewithKY]

Haha awesome, enjoy your new V4 when you get it next week.

[@Porschemovies]

I have had my RSV4 for a long time and ridden friends v4/v4s/v4r and mid corner adjustment feels sketchy on all v4 models except V4r maybe it’s the Ohlins? But s has Ohlins, maybe frame the holes are larger in it. Fair review Pani stupid hit street fighter manages heat very well.

[@ridewithKY]

I agree on your thoughts of the handing for the V4. Seems as if the V4 is a little more eager to change directions but just doesn’t feel as planted as the RSV4. Could just be riding skill though… could be the Ohlins since the R has manually adjustable f/r suspension. Electronic suspension has never impressed me too much. Take care man, enjoy that RSV4.

[@P.M_M]

I LOOVE my MT10s big bang growl (granted i dont have a SC on mine, maybe it'll sound similar when i do), but that RSV4 cold start is NAAAASTY. Gimme!

[@ridewithKY]

Cold start on these RSV4’s are absolutely insane. You’ll love that MT10 even more when you put that SC on it. CP4 is just a wicked sounding engine!

[@MotoWolf-LA]

Great bikes! What do you use to shine/clean your bikes more specifically your Panigale? Looks really clean with great shine.

[@ridewithKY]

Thank you! I use Adam’s Graphene ceramic coating. Then use P&S bead maker in between ceramic coatings. Appreciate the comment.

[@MotoWolf-LA]

👍 thanks for the response I’ll look into that. I just bought a 24Mt09 and plan on keeping it forever. Love your videos I subscribed a few weeks ago

[@ridewithKY]

MT09 is a great bike. I hope you do keep it forever and put many many miles on it. Appreciate you supporting the channel and leaving a comment. Thank you!

[@slide50t]

Good review/content! Im leaning towards the RSV4 , it seems to be the best bang for the buck and its not as expensive as the Ducati even though the Ducati is more aesthetic to the eye! Did you have a chance to ride the Factory RSV4 and what were your thoughts?

[@ridewithKY]

Appreciate the support, thank you! RSV4 is tough to beat for the money. It’s competitive in cost to Japanese bikes but are a lot more interesting. I did not ride an RSV4 factory. I have heard from many people who ride both that the forged wheels on the factory are noticeable. I will probably end up putting the forged wheels off a factory on my base RSV4 sometime next year. The electronic suspension you can skip. I know quite a few guys who have gone from electronic suspension bikes, back to standard suspension. It’s just less complicated and less to go wrong. I was just at Bellissimoto in Las Vegas today and the tech there was installing an electronic suspension override device on a V4S so the owner can go to standard shock/forks/dampener.

[@slide50t]

Wow......what about the power modes on the RSV4? Can you reduce the reduce the power so the response isn't so brutal?

[@ridewithKY]

Yes. Like most modern motorcycles; the RSV4 does have power modes. The modes will dull the motor down quite a bit if you want it too.

[@ChrisVanMiddelkoop]

Yes! Cruise control is so good!!!!!

[@ridewithKY]

It really is. Makes the bike so much more enjoyable to ride for long distances.

[@RyKellogg88]

Amazing machines!

[@ridewithKY]

YOUUUUUU! Appreciate you big homie 👊🏽.

[@oscarmurillo8472]

Where did you get that floor brotha?

[@ridewithKY]

The floor is Swiss trax. You can get it direct or you can buy it through Obsessed Garage (which is what I did).

[@oscarmurillo8472]

@ridewithKY looks sweet man!

[@richardwoodhouse8397]

That was interesting, just what i wanted to know, and even the car i have been considering buying, in black and manual😅

[@ridewithKY]

Awesome man! Glad you enjoyed the video. 👊🏽. Yeah man, even though manual transmissions don’t make much sense anymore in a practical or even personal aspect. If you are an enthusiast, you just have to have 3 pedals!

[@gregsmith9470]

These bikes r purely race bikes with lights and indicators chucked on for racing in world superbike and other fim racing around the world , in fact they hardly even make money for their companies but the .ain reason is to get the brand out their to show how good their bikes r . They certainly and shouldnt b made for comfort, they have touring and street fighters for that , so dont go out n buy a superbike and then complain that iys not comfortable, it was never made to b , just go out and buy something for ur soft sqwidgy self and stop complaining.

[@ridewithKY]

You must have been watching a different video because I didn’t say any of those things. Also, neither of these bikes are used in any class in World Super Bike. 😂😂😂.

[@whoshot_allen]

Thr RSV4 sounds nasty 🔥🔥🔥

[@ridewithKY]

Thank you!!!

[@joshkerby-qd4mq]

Street all the time ? You’re missing out on all that money spent. Both my sportbikes are dedicated track bikes. At least 14 full days on the track each year. My bagger is for the streets. 21 RSV4 F and 2011 ZX6R are track only here.

[@ridewithKY]

Yeah I’m not going to buy a motorcycle solely to go to the track once a month… You use your bikes how you want, I’ll use mine how I want.

[@jimbostewart1969]

That RSVR sounds absolutely ignorant loud lmao,louder than my Yamaha R1M with the Motoamerica Graves Moto 1 system n it is louder than the SC 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Aprillia is the best sounding bike,the Crossplane is close but 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ridewithKY]

It’s so loud 😂. But certain engines can get away with being that loud. I mean, if I had an Aventador, it’d be straight piped too 😂. Crossplane R1 is definitely up there. Sometimes I think the R1 sounds just as good as these RSV4’s honestly. Take care bro.

[@jimbostewart1969]

@ Yez zir,you take care n keep em comin,luv the bikes 🙏🏼👊🏼

[@ridewithKY]

Appreciate you! Thank you for the positivity.

[@ASBP12]

The correct answer is: Ducati aesthetics and build quality with the RSV4 engine 🤝

[@ridewithKY]

When I look at aprilia quality next to Ducati 🤢. But then I remember at least it’s not an MV 😂.

[@ASBP12]

@@ridewithKYMAAAAN 😂 don’t get me started with MV.

[@ridewithKY]

Weird as hell. I was at Bellissimoto today, tech said he had an F4 in the shop that was having a weird rough idle and random shut down issue. Owner replaced the entire ignition system AND replaced the ECU. All the grounds tested good. Bellissimoto tech just so happened to plug another F4 dash cluster in and it solved the issue. 😐😐😐. The cluster bro…

[@ASBP12]

@ damn bro that’s gg. I wouldn’t want to see the RO on that one 🫠

[@ridewithKY]

😂😂😂. $5000

[@jeffchan2869]

are u korean or Chinese? very good content

[@ridewithKY]

Actually Japanese. Thank you for the support! 👊🏽

[@unstoppable2131]

The sounds of rsv4 its much better. The ducati sounds is no good it may be the dry clutch or something plus the the front face is ugly. Rsv4 for the win

[@ridewithKY]

Eh… I mean I don’t think the Ducatis sound bad. But the RSV4 definitely sounds much better. So aggressive.

[@alexbroder1587]

RSV4 the best

[@ridewithKY]

It sure has my vote. 👊🏽.

[@bobo1694]

I put 13K kms on my panigale v4 8 months

[@ridewithKY]

Awesome man, glad you are getting out on your V4 a lot.
