How bad is it? I rode the previous Gen and it put my entire right side to sleep. I really wanted a BMW but I’m nervous that the vibrations are unbearable.
@@ApeZX_Assas10n the vibration is very bad. At high speeds it feels like the entire cowling will come off super unstable and plastics feel extremely cheap. Watch some of my recent videos I discuss about why I sold the s1000rr
@@ape_rider Is the 23 s1000rr going to vibrate as badly? I'm going to pick up one with the M Package. I have a 21 V4 base. Also in Florida. Kind of tired of the heat though.
@@pcoakle1 I hear the vibrations are still there but I wouldn’t get an s1000rr man they’re loaded with problems. Get an r1m tbh. Way better reliability and it’s not hot at all..
Love your vids man. Glad i found your channel. Being s new owner of s V4s, your tips are golden 💪🏼🤙🏼 Ride Safe Brotha 🙏🏼 also, i see you use the powershift a lot and use the clutch sometimes. Do you just alternate or ?
It just depends on how I’m riding so if I give it a lot of throttle then I use quick shifter but if I’m barely on the gas then I use the clutch to assist just so it’s a smooth ride. If I don’t use a ton of throttle and use the quick shifter then the transition isn’t as smooth.
very good and informative video man. glad to fallow you. since in my country ducati doesnt know when the v4s comes, I ordered "23 s1000rr black. but I am sure I will trade my "22 k1600gt with v4s :) the only thing I have to check is slow riding of v4s. my friends multi v4s "21 stays in my garage. and I feel noise, vibration from engine and noises from the chain and transmission while slow riding. I wonder if panigale will be like that at slow speeds like inside the autopark.
The bike that was pretty bad at low speeds was the aprilia rsv4 I used to have. Very tall gearing. Most liter bikes will have that just because of the amount of power they have, displacement, and gearing overall. The s1k is the friendliest of the bunch when it comes to riding as it’s very easygoing, especially in low speed situations.
you made me rethink my s1k 23 blacked choice... damn how do you feel working on it beside oil changes? i just look forward to enjoy the bike i will choose also from this perspective. it's beauty really can not be defeated
It’s easy to maintain man. Fairings come off really easy and the brake fluid change is easy as well. There’s a lot of TH-cam videos out there on how to properly do these things. Out of all the bikes I’ve owned this Ducati is by far the easiest to work on. I however will take it to dealer for the desmodromic valve adjust which is the big service…
Crazy (looking in from Ireland) that all those rail crossings are totally open with road users being responsible to make sure no train is coming. Must be a lot of accidents at such places. Great review thanks - I have a 2021 S1000RR and 2022 Panigale V2 Bayliss. Not the same as a v4 obviously but a lot of the characteristics described here applies to that bike too - other than the power obviously.
That train crossing is not active . Most of our active ones have automatic arms that go down . But yes I could see how that could definitely cause accidents if it was active ! Also I did enjoy the s1000rr but my bike in particular gave me many issues mechanically. It had to go in to the dealer several times and I just got frustrated and sold it. Great bike in terms of performance though…
Lol great video Panigale is definitely more fun I’m going to get a V4 eventually but just got a full akra system on my S1000 going to enjoy that for a little while….did the wheelie control kick in or was that throttle control?
Wheelie control did kick in; I never turn electronics off. I’ve been wheeling for a while and the electronics are definitely a safety net. A lot of my buddies have gone down on their bikes despite their experience doing wheelies.
@@ape_rider awesome I can never feel when it kicks in but then again I never get the front wheel up that high all the wheelies I’ve done were power wheelies but they have been by accident. I ride mostly In road setting or dynamic
The only problem I have with the v4 is the sound, ive hurd them on track and they sound meh compared to the r1. The aprilla v4 on the other hand sounds good. Maybe I didn’t hear it with the right exhaust but man I love the look of the Ducati man.
@@ape_rider about to pick one of these up. People keep telling me I won’t be able to enjoy this thing because of the heat output. Is it actually that bad? My tuono gets hot as hell too.
@@rubyv4s The Ducati has improved its thermals. It’s all about getting used to it and wearing the proper gear. You’ll be fine. If you’re so worried about the heat then I would test drive a Panigale from a friend of yours if you have that opportunity.
Hi, great vid, I’m about your size, and like a wider bike, debating between these two, what are your thoughts besides the height of the pegs on the S1K
Don’t get the s1000rr. It’s cramped af; and lots of issues. I literally just sold the bike and picked up the R1M. Get the R1 it’s cheaper overall and a ton of fun! Check out some of my latest vids I talk about the new r1m
@@alonsoudry8406 it’s very cramped cockpit; also the pegs are high. It you’re a bigger person the r1 or the V4s is perfect. R1 is more roomy than Panigale; you’re sitting on top of the bike
Wheelie control is set to 1 and TC is 3. Full send the throttle first gear and it will come up real high but not loop. Recommend you take it easy and get a feel first if you haven’t wheelied before.
@@chewben5219 No problem just take it easy for sure the bike comes up really high. So recommend you do WC 2 and TC 4/5 to start…. Even though these electronics will catch the bikes level of pitch up; tires can slip and there’s always a small chance for disaster so just be careful and wear your gear. Seen too many riders trying out new waters and getting hurt in the process. But have fun also :)
Hahah thanks brotha he does have a ton of bikes I like to have two no more than that. One for a daily and one to ride around here and there!! Stay tuned I’ve got news coming soon.
@@ape_rider That's what I love about your channel. Keep it simple, too many bikes, can't focus on one. Your video quality is better too. Can you do a video on your vlog setup? Etc. camera, settings, mic. Thanks!

Nice vid as always. Totally agree with your comments on the comparison between the two. I too blew two stop signs late last night..ride safe bud
Yeah it was a bit tricky I thought the stop sign was for the other road to my right side. And thank you! Likewise 🙏
@@ape_rider I too was surprised. That stop sign should be for the other road as you are on the main and they should stop..very bazarre.
I’m glad u mentioned the vibration of the s1k. It’s a great bike but for some that is a deal breaker
It truly is man it’s so annoying. Stay tuned big news coming soon…

How did u install the quadlock stem mount mine doesnt fit
Get the handlebar mount; not the fork stem.. it will claw into the triple tree slots; not the fork stem
they are so much fun to ride
Hey bro, do you have any plans of taking your bikes to the track? I think you should at least try it once! Nice review bro! Good job
I want to go to the track to sure one of these days when I have the time!!
What were your wheelie/slide and traction control settings? Thanks
Wheelie at 1 traction and slide at 3
@@ape_rider and you say just crank the throttle at around 50 mph In first gear and that will not let me 360 the bike?😂
I don’t recommend doing wheelies man it’s just not worth it. Very unstable and I predictable . Increases your chances of wiping out for sure.
I don’t know if I agree with you ,I think the bmw stock for stock is faster and is planted better on the road..
Bro planing to buy this bike how to set up the Wheelies
Wheelie control 1 or turn it off. Tc1 or turn it off .
What tune do you have on the bike?
UpMap from termignoni
So hard finding good roads in FL, at least if you live near society
South Florida is way better i actually enjoyed Tampa and Orlando. Miami and Daytona was also fire 🔥
haha bruh can u do a video on power wheelie And ur bike setting etc 🥰
