Part 2 of Michael Rutter on board the Ducati Panigale V4 Speciale

This is footage taken for the Performance Bikes Magazine TT special
Part 2 from Ballaugh to Finish

[@MrRhymnosaurus]

A combination of: A) one of the most iconic races/ circuits on the planet B) the culmination of everything ducati has done to date to produce this animal of a machine C) the HD tank mount with gimbal and 0 effects with just the engine for a soundtrack Makes this one of the best motorcycle based content on KZbin.

@@polla2256 I was a bit sad and did some calculations (see one of my other comments in this video). between 5:32 and 5:44 when it red lines at about 15000 rpm in sixth, he's probably doing about 209 MPH .

[@gewinnste]

@@karlosh9286 The speedometer isn't accurate (ever). Afaik they did a GPS measurement of this bike at vmax, i.e. 15krpm in 6th and it yielded 307 kph / 191 mph. Note that it could go quite a bit faster with a longer 6th gear.

[@mikefandango3343]

At 5:36 he’s taking corners with the Rev limiter maxing out in 6th gear! (190-200mph) FFS! Road legal Bike out for a evening plod. They say you lose your bottle as you get older, someone needs to tell Michael!

This is how the V4 was meant to be ridden. Man he took that rev limiter and tore it down All the way to the bottom of 15,000 rpms. Who said you can’t pass redline???? This guy did an awesome job riding this bike.

[@SpiDey1500]

First I was like...hm, that's quick, yeah. Than I was like...wtf, that is mph! 😅

[@cmalc8]

Good point. My brain could sort of compute those speeds as kph, but mph in those circumstances is something 'from a different dimension'.

I did Mad Sunday on a 900 z1. The bike was in really great condition for something that was over 40. I think I was overtaken by everyone, including a ginger bearded man in a Datsun 100a F2. I was delighted to find out later that it was far from standard. Made me feel a little better. Anyway, I left the island with myself and the bike in the same condition we arrived. Apart from a slight hangover!😁

A German motorcycle mag just tested the V4 S and was whining that it was SO DIFFICULT to ride on a bumpy track... LOL

[@Red5FPV]

It probably is. This bike has more steering wobble than any other bike I've seen on this circuit, plus it has a retarded amount of torque. I imagine every bump is putting a rider's throttle discipline to the test like no other.

Needs a bigger steering damper of the ohlins variety stat💥

Bit of work on the engine, but not that much. Seemed fairly nippy on the roads back then. When the horrid GPz900R came out I could reel in a good rider on one of those and pull away, on the roads.

The most amazing man being on the bars or course.

[@AMPJ08]

Oven King thing is he is accelerating so most of the drive is on the rear so he allows the front to find its line. Except one time where he was to get some chattering he reduced a little but that was already going into a turn. Simply a professional he knows it well. He is a frequent podium at Macau race as well last time 2nd or 3rd if not mistaken. Rides bikes for PB magazine really fun to read his reviews.
