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.
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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
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
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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 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!
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.
Ok to sum up. Pros: Good looking Fast Great engine Kinda confortable Cons: No fuel gauge 20k+ price tag Terrible pillion seat No cruise control No heated grips (as standard) Terrible MPG
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.
My dad has one of these and I can personally tell you it is way more power than you could ever want or need. I was given the option to drive it and declined because this thing is the most intimidating bike I have ever encountered.
Just ordered the 2023 grey Nero. Thankfully they blacked out the brushed aluminium front end. Always looked odd especially is the ‘a’ configuration with ohlins gold forks. It’s the only Ducati where I think black/grey is the better colour. The red and gold made it look a little like Ronald McDonald’s bike
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
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.
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!
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
@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.
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.
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.
Motorcyclist’s MC commute came out three weeks ago with 50k views. RevZilla’s Street review came out a week or so ago, and has twice the number of views. That’s all you Zack!
@@exothermal.sprocket 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.
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.
@@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...
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"
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.
What this reviewer fails to mention, is how important this bike is to the future of motorcycles as it pushes technology and paves the way for future implementation. Thank you Ducati.
@@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?
Counter rotating crankshaft helps the bike keep the bike planted, less wheelie. Counter rotating crankshaft takes a few horsepower away but helps turns with negating gyroscopic effect of tires.
Counter rotating crankshaft make wheelies more difficult as it makes the bike more planted especially around corners countering gyroscopic effect of wheels.
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.
I wonder what it'd be like without the torque limited in the first four gears? I'm sure someone will remove the artificial limitation, as they've done with all similar restrictions in the past.
I tried this once for the biggest big bikes event in the Philippines, but once I signed the waver and seen the SRP for this monstrous bike, I did not corner as I should for fearing of sliding. I can't afford paying this for many years of my life. LOL This is just a dream bike after my SV650 tho.
For more information and a photo gallery of the Streetfighter V4, check out Zack’s article on Common Tread: rvz.la/3elmbe6

Thankfully they blacked out the brushed aluminium front end. Always looked odd especially is the ‘a’ configuration with ohlins gold forks.
It’s the only Ducati where I think black/grey is the better colour.
The red and gold made it look a little like Ronald McDonald’s bike
This is amazing. Helps a LOT especially when considering this VS a Aprilia tuono or KTM superduke or MV Agusta etc etc etc
Only Zack would off road a Streetfighter. Legend.
Great review as always. Would love to see a track shoot-out review with v4sf, tuono and ktmSDr.

@@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...
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"
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.
By all accounts, Ducati has done an excellent job with this motorcycle
Have you tried the Z H2?
That thing is awesome. I feel like you need to be a highly experienced rider to truly enjoy what that beast offers.
Internet: lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?
Zack: Why yes... yes I did...
What this reviewer fails to mention, is how important this bike is to the future of motorcycles as it pushes technology and paves the way for future implementation. Thank you Ducati.
Are you back in free format????
Do u think its fine as a beginner bike ?
10 seconds in, and I can kind of guess where it will be on the $€$€ axis :D
What camera and microphone do you use to vlog. The picture quality and audio is absolutely perfect 👌🏼
"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.
@@exothermal.sprocket 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?
I don't even ride motorbikes, but I enjoy watching these for some obscure reason. Keep up the great content.
Ha, right on, well maybe we'll get you in the fold one day. Thanks for watching.
How are you ever gonna keep up with an Accord LOL! Glad the humor is back, the other commute really dried up
Not just the wheelbase it's also the counter rotating crank. Keeps the bike torqued in the opposite direction
I truely hope they also built a streetfighter v2s with latest panigale design and specs ... I would really consider buying one then
Please! A review out of the city, on fun roads.
A 400 ninja can be fun in the city.
Highway pulls are not why this bike is built.
Counter rotating crankshaft helps the bike keep the bike planted, less wheelie. Counter rotating crankshaft takes a few horsepower away but helps turns with negating gyroscopic effect of tires.
Counter rotating crankshaft make wheelies more difficult as it makes the bike more planted especially around corners countering gyroscopic effect of wheels.
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.
This is so much better. The "other show" that tried to keep this going just isn't the same nothing against Mr. Waheed but this guy is better.
I wonder what it'd be like without the torque limited in the first four gears? I'm sure someone will remove the artificial limitation, as they've done with all similar restrictions in the past.
Great to have you back Zack. Missed your review on that motorcycle magazine channel. Keep ‘em coming!
A simple way to ensure you'll have a great day? Just start with one of Zack's legendary videos!!! So stoked**
I'm so glad you are doing this format again!
Probably the best all around MC reviews on TH-cam. Thanks!
The sand section puckered me up & I'm watching from home! Keep up the awesome work.
I wasn't sure if you would do the offroad section, but you did! Well done.
Best review I've seen on the SFV4 yet...thanks Zack
Rode a friends bike. Hooligan 100% 🤘🏼
For now I’ll keep my monster 1200. 36K on odometer and still feels and looks new.
So good that you guys have come back to this side of the paywall.
I tried this once for the biggest big bikes event in the Philippines, but once I signed the waver and seen the SRP for this monstrous bike, I did not corner as I should for fearing of sliding. I can't afford paying this for many years of my life. LOL
This is just a dream bike after my SV650 tho.
So glad I can watch these videos just like the old days 👌
I’m still loving my 2014 Streetfighter 848. New generation is incredible tho!
