Are you aware that the engine rotates in the opposite direction to most others and this helps keep the front wheel on the ground.? This actively helps with anti wheelie characteristics.

Checks all “Italian” boxes. Too high maintenance, too expensive, too awesome looking, too many tickets, too many chicks dig it, to many dudes dig it, and too many people may think you’re a d-bag for owning it. I still want one.
The maintenance is actually quite a bit better with these newer Ducatis. But yeah, still more expensive to own than most of the Japanese and Euro sport bikes.
Levi Moyers , but the cost, wait times can be rough. If I had a lot of disposable cash, I would probably own it in a heartbeat. Is it a recipe for disaster for the average joe, most likely, It is, I think, only for an enthusiast with the patience, understanding of upkeep, and a fat wallet. Curious ever ride a KTM 690 smcr? I know... reasons why this duc... that bike just says buy me to me. There are plenty of online reviews but nothing like a real person or the Z man
I have a 2019 V4 Panigale. Not a street fighter and not an S version. Ive had only good experiences with it so far. Not looking forward to the Desmo valve servicing but I knew what I qas getting into haha.
Levi Moyers, you got to. I think some are thinking sell it before the service or some dealers sell to those don’t know or care. I have a feeling someone ends up feeling f?cked
@@bradysmith3400 Oh, I'm going to do it. I've heard of people dumping the bikes before the service... or skipping it entirely. But I've got a back up Yamaha FZ07 and a fun car to hold me off while I give my bike to a reputable Ducati mechanic.
Thanks for the review!
That's Ducati for real lol
Damn bruh!
I thought it was fake Ducati account, wtf!
@Mwanzia they make money selling bikes. They ain't greedy snitches.
Damn real ducati
Those radiators have a really nice motorcycle bolted onto them.
Agreed. The ugly radiator really kills the styling.
I actually don‘t think it‘s bad, to me it‘s part of the bikes super bulky looks but i mean it‘s hard to argue about whether something looks good to anyone or not 😄
But i think the silver edge of the radiator needs to be optionally available in black and maybe red? It really does pronounce it.
@@plusRpm I agree if the silver edges were body color and the radiator itself was black it would look a lot more normal imho
When you say “those radiators” are you referring to the radiator or the winglets?
@@plusRpm I agree but also it is super easy to just wrap them in whatever color you like.
"Can a 200HP motorbike even do a wheelie..?"- LMAO.
Pretty sure the ECU and wings don't allow any front end floating. You have to shut it all off to hang the front in the air.
@@dadtube1936 just turn off traction and you're ready to wheelie . If you want to fully wheelie , turn off wheelie control .
That’s what I was thinking lol
What's annoying is that they didn't use the 2018 V4 Panigale tune on this. I own one and it wheelies like a lunatic, 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear, no problems. Changes to engine mapping and torque delivery in the 2020 Panigale V4 and now the Streetfighter means you can pin almost any gear and it won't lift the front wheel. That to me is a real shame. The Streetfighter should be the real hooligan here!
Just when I was thinking that the current show format is a bit long , Zack went into dirt with a 208 hp ,24K $ Streetfighter. It's the simple things in life that motivate us :D
Speaking of Honda Accords, this bike makes 20 more horsepower than my Honda Accord. 😄
Edit: engine shuts off randomly so it is a proper Ducati still. Lol
Hehe here in europe at least, there is a comon sight to see 1.0L (70-90 horsepower) cars. So this bike makes almost double the power of my 1.0L 115 Horsepower , Volkswagen Polo
I'm shopping for something to replace my totaled Ford Fiesta...120 HP at the crank!
I see a Zack and Ari thumbnail, I click..
Agreed ... miss him on MC Commute
@@stephensmith6599 this is like exactly the same format as mc commute
@@ethan9553 I actually clicked on this bike's review on mc commute and exited as soon as i remembered it wasn't zack.
Still $6k less than a Harley Livewire, damn.
Holy shit. I had no idea the HD was so expensive. You’d have to be mad to buy one.
Livewires are being sold for 40k right now at any dealer around me
@@mop0014 I find it hilarious that you can get the most powerful Italian naked bike on the market and still have thousands left over for several top mods and some of the best riding gear.
@@rye487 You can get the Ducati AND a valve adjustment later down the road for that.
Z H2 still $7k less than the Streetfighter S. WIth a few mods, you get 240+ at the wheel and enough torque to twist the Streetfighter in half.
Yes, a Panigale V4 Streetfighter is totally a ‘daily rider’
Jokes aside, it’s amazing to see that Zack (and Ari) is back with these kinds of vids!
It actually is a daily rider though, it’s a daily rider V4 Pentagali that’s upright.
You can easily daily ride it
Best naked motorcycle on the planet!!! @Ducati
The madlad went a did the jump in the dirt! Awesome.
It is too much bike though and the price is not something I would pay under any circumstance for a bike. But that it looks cool and performs like nothing else, yea.
You say that now, if you had more money you would buy it. Basically same thing with people who complain how expensive it is, well yeah, it was never intented for poor or barely have it people
I was going to get a tenere 700 to go off road but now there’s another contender
Ah yes, race mode is the only way to go when you're commuting and running late 😅
Save $7k and get a Tuono Factory. 👍🏼 Tuono has more torque AND hp under 10000 rpm which is where these bikes are ridden 95% of the time.
Or safe 10k and get an e92 m3. It has more Torque AND hp under 9000 RPM.
@@bruderrudiger9574 where the hell are you finding e92s for 14k?
Great video! I just bought this bike today! None of the videos on this bike do justice as to the feel of this precision machine when you are on it. The thrill of all that power and the sounds are just incredible. This bike is an absolute adrenaline rush!!!!! A “must ride” to anyone who loves motorcycles!!!!! Just like ski diving, riding this bike is something you have to experience!
So glad to see You & Ari at revzilla, its like you guys brought the whole toolkit with ya and just added to Revzilla's garage! Best video's in the game
I'm so glad you're doing the Daily Rider videos, Zack! Such great information, and a super enjoyable 30 minute+ video every time.
I really enjoy you working for RevZilla! Your reviews are some of the best!
watching videos like these, makes me truly appreciate where I live, as we step out and are riding beautiful twisty epic roads
Just bought a 2022 Ducati Streefighter V4S brand new as a daily rider. Everything is great, sometimes I take the tolls if I'm late, and sometimes I take the streets if I wake up early. Only thing I have to complain about is fueling up lol. I do not believe I am getting 40mpg, it feels more like 30s.
I'm loving the new format where you compare the bikes on the leaderboard at the end. And I like that you take every one of them in the dirt even if they are obviously not made for it! Keep up the good work
Man it is nice to see Zack and Arie again. So glad they're back
Keep it coming, thank you Zack for returning to the old MC Comm days.
Stoked to watch your reviews again, Zack! Thanks Revzilla!
Zack you always put a smile on my face. I was thinking there is no way he's taking a $24k bike offroading and you prove me wrong. Soft sand could have proven to be an expensive disaster! Enjoying every video. Keep up the GREAT content.
Man, this guy did a GREAT job at this review. Well done!
Yeeey! Zack again. Thanks for making these guys do what they do best)
I always appreciate reviews from Zach.
May say how much of a gentleman I found you. So much appreciated that you did not once used "OMG" which now has become the norm. I had my SF V4S delivered but had another fight ... and yes a fight for my own life with 20 days in hospital with Covid19... only got home yesterday. Still must go open the garage to see my bike. For now, I enjoyed your review. Thank you sir.
Glad you’re doing better. Screw the virus. But hey if it gets you can I have the V4...
So glad to hear Zack mention going to taller gearing. I thought it was only me that finds the gearing on most streetfighter bikes to be too low for real world use, particularly when riding on the highway.
Zack convinces his wife: “it’s full of veins and it’s super interesting looking”
Just to make sure.. is he talking about the bike or his 🐓?
@@blackksabbath his chicken. It can fly and lay eggs :D
Best review I've seen on the SFV4 yet...thanks Zack
I'm so glad you are doing this format again!
I hope you all know that it doesnt matter what platform this man is on, hes always gonna be the true MC commute boss. Always love the content from zack and arie.
Great review as always. Would love to see a track shoot-out review with v4sf, tuono and ktmSDr.
Great to have you back Zack. Missed your review on that motorcycle magazine channel. Keep ‘em coming!
All I was waiting for was to see you take it off road. Glad to have you back Zack!
Quality content Zack, glad to have you back doing these.
Yep, I understand the other fellow back at MC is doing his best, but he really can't hold a candle to Zack in this medium.
Many thanks 🙌
@Tim it's a good choice. I highly recommend the S1000XR, but it's a tall bike for sure. At 5'10", I can barely flatfoot it, if I were any shorter I'd be looking at different bikes. They do have a lowering kit, but that will also limit its cornering ability unless you raise the pegs.
This is amazing. Helps a LOT especially when considering this VS a Aprilia tuono or KTM superduke or MV Agusta etc etc etc
Probably the best all around MC reviews on TH-cam. Thanks!
Great having your ride reviews back. That bike is incredible.
Loved the video. After a year with the Tuono (a ‘17) I just had to admit it was too extreme for me. I like daily riding and trips and grocery store and everything in between. It was hot and pissed all the time!! Such a fun bike but very cranky for sure. And 27 mpg and constant fuel lights sucked. My street triple rs 765 is more usable and it rips. Miss that torque tho!
I enjoyed watching your review for this bike. Please review Kawasaki Z H2 as well. Thanks.
I haven't finished any of the other Ducati V4 videos but I just watched the this one to the end. I think I'm watching more for Zack than I am the bike.
Zach is one of the few people I will watch a video of doing a review of a bike I have absolutely zero interest in.
Exactly
I’m so glad you guys are doing this. These segments from motorcycle mage one where one of my favorites. Let go you guys
I mean, the 848 streetfighter was my favourite bike for a long time and i think the V4 S is an amazing thing but i don‘t know how to use that engine on the road 😅
So once the streetfighter V2 with like 150hp comes out i‘ll have have that 😄
150hp is a shit ton anyways 😂
Agreed. Like a 750hp car vs. a 1000hp car. It's already 'too much' power for public roads on street tires. Still glad they make these bikes though. Gotta admire the engineering.
kleinbottled79
Exactly my train of thought. As an engineer myself, stuff like this got me into doing what i‘m doing but the only bike with that kind of power i‘d spend my money on would be the H2 for dream bike purposes 😅
I mean 110hp is already quite a lot on a bike but nowadays people (especially on the internet) tend to forget that 😄
@@plusRpm I think that 110 is a bit of a tipping point as well, at least for me personally, were as a bike goes past that power level (say 110-120hp) it starts to actually detract from the fun. The power becomes too dominate in the overall experience. But I have not ridden newer bikes with all the electronic aids, maybe that changes things.
@@kleinbottled79 As a tuono owner the electronic aids make these bikes extremely rideable.
Speeding ticket in first gear on any road in my state... but I still wants it... oh yes precious...
Great review. My Harley friends glaze over when they wax poetically over the latest Street Glide Special. Well, when I see Italian machinery like this V4S, I’m in that same frame of mind. It’s motorcycling bliss: fast, smooth, refined, raw and beautiful.
Problem is though that Italian bikes are really created for Italian roads, Harley's are created for US roads ...
The sand section puckered me up & I'm watching from home! Keep up the awesome work.
Always the best reviews - Zac could make you buy any of these bikes with his enthusiasm!
Internet: lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?
Zack: Why yes... yes I did...
Would love to hear what you think about the Diavel 1260s
This series is such a great expansion upon the original MC Commute. It's everything I ever wanted MC Commute to be and more.
YES!! Really missed these reviews when you left Motorcyclist, the new guy just isn't the same, glad you're back Zack!!
You cranked the throttle and that bike looked really unstable. I want one 😂
All the technology 2020 has to offer, except cruise control.
Or a fuel gauge, but that is too advanced
Insanity
Z H2
Exhaust, filter, flash. Blow all the competition back a decade.
@@lifted_above yeah too bad the ZH2 is ugly af, handles like ass, weighs as much as a whale, and has trashcan components. I really wanted it to be good but the only thing that'll excel in is a straight with a supercharge upgrade / tune. May as well just have the H2 at that point for the aeros.
Why the fuk would you want cruise control on a bike like this?!
Best review made, a lot more information than other reviews and not boring!
A simple way to ensure you'll have a great day? Just start with one of Zack's legendary videos!!! So stoked**
Saw one yesterday on the streets of Würzburg and in my opinion it looks so bad in real life :/ it looked much better in videos and pictures.. but of course it`s only looks :)
this bike is "state of the art"
i don't know why, but there is no bike out there where i would say that i love the looks.
and its mostly just the headlight that i dislike the most.
but in the end of the day, i don't care about that.
I gotta hand it to this handsome bloke. I really think that whatever topic he hosts about would still be intrresting and relevant. Keep it up Zack! Ride safe!
The best part is always Zack’s giggle in the intro.
Have you tried the Z H2?
Have you considered recording in 60fps? (1440p/4k)
That exhaust tone is gorgeous. Instandly fell in love with that V4.
I am so happy about these videos! I absolutely love them
if you ride with one of those here in brasil... 8 minutes to get robbed
That's why we need electric shock for security 😂
Thats why its a shit country. Only know robbing
@@upbeatmantis86 its not shitty actually...its very big and rich but has a lot of social differences because of the corruption on government...search for pictures of brazil and you will be surprised
@@williandelucca yeah no doubt the country and natural resources are beautiful. But unfortunately where there’s high crimes and corruption, it just undermine standard/ quality of living. Like you said, we cant even ride this beautiful bike in peace, without worrying it being stolen or worrying about your life/safety. Im in Australia, its very different here.
@@upbeatmantis86 yes! i agree, australia is very similar with brazil in nature... i would love to go there someday, brazilian culture is fucked up, its so sad to see this happening...
Although an amazing bike for what it is, the engine sound just doesn’t do it for me. In all practical and non practical applications, the Tuono is just much better.
I check for new Zack videos 5 times a day. These reviews just make sense and is real, not like some mucho guys saying they need 200hp and use 50. Would like to see more fooling around and a more scenic route maybe. But best in the bizz.
Finally someone talks about passengers!!! Also love the video love the street fighter!!🤩
10 seconds in, adn I can kind of guess where it will be on the $€$€ axis :D
Are you back in free format????
Love the idea of a leaderboard and the map character radar. Now we only need to add a circuit time board, Ari as the Stig and you got yourselves the authority benchmark for all riders to go to 👍
Awesome as always to ride with you.
Whatever you're paying Zack, cut it in half...and DOUBLE IT. Best moto host out there. Keep up the great work!!
Call me crazy, but I don’t get putting 200 hp in a bike-only to limit torque in first 4 gears, AND THEN gear it short in 6th. Why? None of that makes sense.
Benjamin Hatef to keep you from ripping the driveline to shreds, perhaps.
It's ridiculous for any road bike to make 200 bhp you won't ever get to use a fraction of that power anyway it's just for bragging rights.
boomerhgt i had Rocket III Touring and it was well over 100. You could summon it but you’d be taking flight...that said it was also tame as a kitten when you wished it to be. Sadly i broadsided a deer with it and that was the end of the bike and bambi.
How are you ever gonna keep up with an Accord LOL! Glad the humor is back, the other commute really dried up
So good that you guys have come back to this side of the paywall.
Good to see you and Ari back on TH-cam. Welcome back!
"You dont need 200HP in a naked bike"
Kawasaki laughs in ZH2
H2SX with full exhaust and all the go-fast mods, running near 260 WHP.
@@lifted_above Ducati v4 streetfighter with the same mods will run circles around the Zh2.
@@uttamjeetsingh7451 You might forget however, that motorcycles don't ride themselves, they require riders that know what they are doing.
You feel even with 240 wheel HP and over 100 ft-lb of very-broad torque that the Ducati stands a chance? What are we comparing here? A go-kart track or a road race?
Ducati knows how to make a fast good looking bike! I just don't trust the reliability.
My duc is stupid reliable. Never had an issue in 14k miles
Yeah funny you say that.. revs the bike at 25:40 and it just shuts off.. wow, so confidence inspiring.
You don't trust ANY motorcycles reliability.
@@trav73 it character dude 😆
@@mortarsquad12 I wouldn't consider that stupid reliable tho, I love ducs but seen too many failures on them like parts of the clutch basket breaking off or the transmission eating itself or simply annoying electrical problems. Most reliable Italian sportbike/nakedbike has to be the Rsv4/tuono but only because they took a lot of knowledge off the Rotax engines
I’m so glad you guys are back!!
I MISSSSSEDDD YOU! Thanks for doing this. Only you can do this to an asmr level.
That’s what we in the biz call “a spicy meatball”
Why there is no reply on yammy noob comment ? 😭😭😭
No. Nobody calls it that.
Zack Courts, making the world a better place one bike review at a time.
Great to have you back! What a machine!
Zach is the best. So glad he and Ari got picked up by Revzilla. These guys breathe BIKES! Keep up the great work.
So glad Zack and Ari are w/ Revzilla now. More of some of the best in the business of modern MC journalism. Now, let's see more crazy SHT like "Monkey bikes to Baja"
Great review Zack as usual. 👍🏻🇦🇺
I totally agree with you about gearing on most bikes. I have a 6th gen VFR, and most guys do -1/+1, but I when I need to do sprockets next time I'll likely go up 1 on the front. The bike has plenty of power, and a bit taller cruise gear would be better for my daily commute.
So glad I can watch these videos just like the old days 👌
I wasn't sure if you would do the offroad section, but you did! Well done.
Good job hiring these guys RevZilla. Way better than anyone else out there.
Crazy good review of this bike’s street ability!
Dope vid, can't to see more content from you...really missed you guys after you guys left motorcyclist...
Zack, is nice seeing you reviewing that bike
What a joy it is to watch you again on TH-cam! Welcome the f*** back man! Take a bow.
Congrats Zack excellent review
You are an awesome reviewer... taking it on all kinda of routes
Love your reviews man!
I knew this bike would kick ass! I love the look and presence it has. I'd really like one
This is the bike I’d buy if I had the money. This thing is gorgeous. I just got a beginner Monster and that bike so much fun, not fast at all but very fun, especially in twisty roads
Just catching up on these videos, and noticed the shirt! I went to Suffolk Law!! I live in SC now! That’s awesome!
