Just turned 4K miles on mine today. Best bike I’ve ever owned. Comfortable, great for real world motorcycling but still completely savage when you want it to be. So easy to ride. I absolutely love this bike.
I thought it looked like he'd gotten the remnants of a build-a-bear and glued it to the back of his head. 😂😂😂 Fair play though, it suits him. He could be Mr Reddings best buddy now.
Honestly, this is the best review of the bike on TH-cam and helped me make the decision to buy. Particularly the sit-down session where you guys discussed the bike. I felt identical after the test ride. I pick mine up on Friday with the full Akra system. Really stoked.
MCN Festival of Motorcycling in Peterborough should sort you out, postponed for September due to the pandemic. They had the Panigale V4 among the other models last year for test rides!
Would love to see you guys compare a 1098 Streetfighter S against the newer V4 S. The original model is much less refined, but still an amazing proposition and I wonder if you rode them back-to-back whether you both would prefer the newer, more refined riding experience, or the more raw, visceral experience of the original.
Cylinder cut is to do with temperature. It kills the rear 2 when the revs are at idle. 30mph is 1st gear, possibly 2nd not 3rd or 4th which put the revs at or below idle
But also to the pass noise test. The Pani does it as well in 3rd at around 3750rpm or something because that's where the "riding noise" is measured. Then it's dead quiet, but brutally loud in all other cases. Quite cheeky of Ducati but I'm not mad😂
Hmmm, enjoyed that, must get myself a go on one of those puppies....love my Panigale, but not sure it's beautiful looks justify it being sat in my garage not being ridden...(and would be easier on my aged aching arthritis ridden shoulders). Nice one chaps!
Picked my Streetfighter up two weeks go and was a bit anxious on how hard it was going to be to ride compared to my speed triple, but was amazed. Just as easy to live with around town and on my daily ride to work, but bonkers fast when you want to have some fun, best all round bike i have every owned. Good job Ducati!!
Baron on all fours at the end made me laugh😂😂😂🤣 Reminded me of the film with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, Starsky & Hutch, when they did the dragon scene in prison.
Still tryna decide which MT I should get coming from a ninja 250 lol but I’ve ridden a Cbr600RR easily and a Ktm 990 super duke easily lol I think the MT07 would be perfect but wouldn’t mind a MT10 because I’m not gonna full throttle it everywhere everyday lol
MT10 isn’t even in the same league as this??? Pushing 160 max bhp and 30kg heavier. This almost has 25% more power? MT10 is more of a tourer naked rather than a hyper naked!
Sold the KTM-1290 and couldn’t be happier with this StreetFighter V-4S Akropavic Race Exhaust-ECU Map 220-HP, i love the wicked power everywhere unlike the 1290 that went flat at 8500-RPM. The Ducati keeps pulling to 14,500. 5th to 6th issue went away when Akropavic finally released the Up-Map for the Race Exhaust. Iam telling everyone the bike was created with the Race Exhaust in mind.
wonderful review guys - thank you! The quality of these vids has improved substantially and really shows the hard work you're putting in. Bring on 300k subs!
The key is to never ride at ‘low speed’. Not even joking... Even when you’re filtering through traffic you’ve got to be decisive and swift about it on a Ducati (not necessarily heroic with your passing speeds, but on it with picking your line, blipping the throttle quickly for a sec, then clutching it to avoid the speed getting excessive), hesitation tends to get punished with a wobble or some sputtering from the shit part throttle mapping on a lot of models.
Nice to see you round Radstock way! The corner and junction at 1:10 was where I had my very nearest arse clenching near miss. Pretty much got stuck on the pavement as someone decided that I didn’t exist and just drove straight toward the side of my bike.
You’re definitely doing 100mph EVERY DAY on this bike. I have a 14 SF848 and always break 100. This SFV4(S) is amazing in every way. I’m getting one this year. I like the heated grips option. Can’t wait.
But the Streetfighter looks much better. Though I agree the Aprilia V4, especially with an aftermarket can, is the best sounding street bike engine ever made.
@@SNAPZ46 not really, mate. You're probably lucky with where you live. But I can tell you from experience Aprilia service is shit in many parts of the world
I noticed Alistair is rocking the tractech evo 3's. Absolutely love those boots, so comfertable to ride in. I rode in them constantly for about 2 hours and they didnt hurt me feet
I'm always looking at other bikes like the s1000 or the diavel, but the original 1098 street fighter is one of the 2 bikes that made me truly want to ride (ironically the other is a v-rod, whatever, feelings) and I constantly find myself back here, watching this video... when I can afford one I'm buying one lol
Wow i thought i was watching the late great Ronnie smith, the legend and all round top guy, then i looked again and it was mr fagan, still a top bloke, keep up the goid work lads..
I've test ridden Streetfighter V4 back in 2020 when they first came out, including taking it up to it's top speed. I'll probably release the footage later. What really astonished me is the superb handling it has at any speeds, the ease of riding, and especially the unbelievable stability and maneuverability at high speeds, which I never encountered on any other motorcycles before (and I tested a lot of them). So, yeah, Streetfighter V4 is truly AMAZING bike in this sense. But at the same time it's extremely impractical, boring and uncomfortable (due to vibrations) to ride at sensible speeds, fuel thirsty because of the unreasonably high gearing, and very physically painful to ride at high speeds due to aerodynamic pressure pushing my helmet against my face. Therefore, my conclusion on Ducati Streetfighter V4: it is extremely cool and fun bike to take for a test ride for a couple of hours, but it's really not good and pointless bike to own and daily ride. And if you want a bike with almost the same level of handling, speed, and fun, but at the same time comfortable, practical, versatile, and awesome to ride almost everywhere - get a Multistrada V4 than. But that's for another story.
Yet another fantastic review fellas, by a country mile the best out there..... If only I could get the vision of Mr Statham's new landing strip out of my head.
I’ll stick to my V4s thanks. Wouldn’t want a bike tamer than that, the main reason I got it is because you feel alive when you ride it unlike the s1000rr I had before it...
Something's crawled on Al's head and died! Another top video ya pair of Rod Bells! I finally joined the moto-journalistic revolution that is 44 teeth. Enjoy my $6 NZD per month! You guys are the best 😁
Have you guys ridden the new Z H2? How would that compare to this? Can you take it with you for the supernaked test later this year? Not a fan of the looks, but curious whether the Japanese have finally cought up in the hyper segment.
After riding the Ducati and the 2020 superduke back to back I bought ....................... the 2020 superduke , I don’t do track days it’s a big step forward to the 2.0 . Be interesting to see your back to back review 👍🏼
My 2017 S1000R. Love it so rideable. might be biased but that’s a solid premium bike too. Did 2k euro tour last summer was amazing. Awesome as an all rounder or a weekend burner. Thoughts?
I think I want a Streetfighter V2. I reeeaaally don't see the point in 200+ hp naked bikes (even though it's absolutely wicked and awesome), but as you said, 100+ mph is just painful on them. V2SF, no wings (just like the pani V2) but with decent electronics and suspension, cheaper price point and 160 ish horsepower. Perfect all rounder for me (I say that as an 848SF owner, I'm totally not biased).
I had the 1098 streetfighter for 3 years as my all year round commuter. It used to cut out all the time in the winter where it was too cold and it would only take supreme unleaded. It was a dog at low speeds but gosh did it sound good with the termignoni pipes. Would still have it but a car reversed into it in a car park.....
It’s true you could get a Tuono and Superduke cheaper which brings good value but Ducatis are royalty imo and it has a different sort of presence that comes with it. With it being Germanic my initial thought is that ‘Ducati has lost it’ but then again on some days I can relate hating the shake and rattle when I want to take it easy. Hence I bought a smooth 4cyl Honda as a transition to my monster.
The previous street fighter is my top pick for best looking production bike ever made, so this one had some big shoes to fill. Result? Meh. Great bike, doesn’t tickle me the same way. Can’t win em all though, I’m sure some people think it looks amazing.
What a perfect reason to put off chores on a Monday morning! Great video! Looks like it provides a buttery smooth wave of power to ride straight to jail 🏄🏻
Great review and was debating with myself whether to take the plunge for the 2020 Streetfighter but am thinking twice at the price, plus have they taken some of the Ducati "soul" out of the bike? I picked up a 1098 2010 Streetfighter a few months back as a test and have fallen for the character of that bike, true it is tricky and has issues but there is something special there. Am now thinking twice and looking over at the Tuono. Any others in my camp?
Top top review lads, as ever, although I was particularly looking forward to this one as my test ride is booked, ready to chop in the KTM SD I think...now where's that PCP paperwork...
I test rode a 2019 SuperDuke today, and I didnt like it, so like they said they are completely different bikes, I didnt like the riding position very super moto, you feel like you are siting on the front wheel, additionally didn't feel premium like my 1299 for example. They are completely different bikes I really advise a test ride on both of them, Im test riding a Tuono tomorrow and a Streetfighter on Friday.
I guess U guys like it ! STILL waiting for my S.F. V4 S too arrive. I will Install Akra race system and Map Immediately. I ALWAYS have too have an edge. Be safe guys
Perkins seemed a bit disappointed not to be "battered in the wind"😕 Sounds like an awesome bike, do they do a version with a fairing to keep the elements off??
Agreed the price seems too high for the competitive competition, and being the top model surely it needs more carbon, heated grips and some funky colours. Looks like I am sticking with the Speciale for the masochistic days and the XSR for bad back days and when I don’t need my testicles toasted. Ageing = Boring, not necessarily I’m 10 + years older than Sue and Jason Wattie Buchan and still enjoying a blat around the Nurburgring all be it with more comfort breaks 👍
Just turned 4K miles on mine today. Best bike I’ve ever owned. Comfortable, great for real world motorcycling but still completely savage when you want it to be. So easy to ride. I absolutely love this bike.
Any update on the bike?
That nuts and bolts montage in the intro was delicious!
100%
I thought the same! Cheers
I thought it was nuts.
Yeah fair play that just have taken fucking ages
Can't decide which is sexier, the bike or Jason Statham's hair
Definitely the hair.. No question about it
I thought Scott Redding popped in for a chat 😂
Hair? I thought that was a squirrel
It's only half a mohawk really though.
@Ragnar Danneskjöld I actually think that it could be compared to the brutale RR
Never mind the beauty of the street fighter! Ummm what about the elephant in the room!! Mr Fagans hair!!
Looks like a ferret is emerged from the back of his leathers looking for fresh air
I thought it looked like he'd gotten the remnants of a build-a-bear and glued it to the back of his head.
😂😂😂
Fair play though, it suits him.
He could be Mr Reddings best buddy now.
Mohawk with a stutter
That's some serious shag pile! lol...
That’s what happens when the barbers get closed down.
Honestly, this is the best review of the bike on TH-cam and helped me make the decision to buy. Particularly the sit-down session where you guys discussed the bike. I felt identical after the test ride. I pick mine up on Friday with the full Akra system. Really stoked.
So looking forward to trying one! Ducati UK get me on the list!
MCN Festival of Motorcycling in Peterborough should sort you out, postponed for September due to the pandemic. They had the Panigale V4 among the other models last year for test rides!
They've heard about you you got no chance!! lol
Dont do it chops cause that will surely mean I buy one lol,you sue and Jason are my go to for first impressions of a bike before I test ride
same fun on the Tuono for 1/2 the price and comes with Cruise Control.
Bloody love cruise control now! After few k around Europe especially on the toll roads was a god sent!
And the Tuono still sounds better.

Yea, you should take it around town 35 mph and call it a bike review.
Picked my Streetfighter up two weeks go and was a bit anxious on how hard it was going to be to ride compared to my speed triple, but was amazed. Just as easy to live with around town and on my daily ride to work, but bonkers fast when you want to have some fun, best all round bike i have every owned. Good job Ducati!!
Someone been hanging around Redding too much!!!
I bought one and put Arrow exhaust with Ducati up map and wow! Now its a proper raging bull as it were.
NEWS FLASH “It feels SOLID in the hand” 🤣
Hands down 44 teeth is the best motorcycle channel on utube, keep up the good work lads.
Baron on all fours at the end made me laugh😂😂😂🤣 Reminded me of the film with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, Starsky & Hutch, when they did the dragon scene in prison.
Exactly why I bought the MT10SP as it’s so versatile and an every day do it all bike.
Oh and 10 grand cheaper 😂😂😂
Yip I agree and that’s why I bought my MT10 too 👍💪
Still tryna decide which MT I should get coming from a ninja 250 lol but I’ve ridden a Cbr600RR easily and a Ktm 990 super duke easily lol I think the MT07 would be perfect but wouldn’t mind a MT10 because I’m not gonna full throttle it everywhere everyday lol

Glad it’s stable at low speed, my Panigale V4S is like watching MJ Fox hold a glass of water.....juddery as fark.
Man that was mean lol
You know why Micheal J Fox makes the best milkshakes?
Because he uses the finest ingredients.
It’s no RSV4, and it never will be.

Yea bro that's shitty. He played Marty fuckin McFly for fuck's sake.
2018 I was meant to die with my 848, every time I see the new one, I legitimately tear up. I don't know if ill ever ride again. stay safe lads
That stinks. Injuries preventing you from riding again or you chosen not to so far?
Got my dinner on the go, 44teeth on the youtubes and not a care in the world. Oh yes!

Oofffff I like her. Congrats on the 200k (whenever that happened). Deserving of a lot more though. Keep it up lads!
Performance per pound and best sounding V4, you can’t beat an Aprilia Tuono
But the Streetfighter looks much better. Though I agree the Aprilia V4, especially with an aftermarket can, is the best sounding street bike engine ever made.
IL MOSTRO it should look better for £6k more and 10 years younger
Anyone can beat Aprilia service and after sales 😂✌️
I thought you were saying this sounds better than an Aprilia and I was thinking you're crazy. Aprilia sound > All
@@SNAPZ46 not really, mate. You're probably lucky with where you live. But I can tell you from experience Aprilia service is shit in many parts of the world

I want this bike with hard bags and a wind screen.
Good to see you blokes.
Rawr.
"It's a premium bike" ....... and so it should be for the damn near £20K asking price 😉
I'll stick with my DULL 8mth old S1000R for half the money ta
In norway the price for the 2021 v4s is 28728,27pounds😮 amazing taxes here 😭
I'm always looking at other bikes like the s1000 or the diavel, but the original 1098 street fighter is one of the 2 bikes that made me truly want to ride (ironically the other is a v-rod, whatever, feelings) and I constantly find myself back here, watching this video... when I can afford one I'm buying one lol
I liked the v rod too! When I was younger.
Been waiting for Statham and perkins to jump on this since it was announced!!
No one on the planet could find a way to combine Theresa May and Ducati in a single sentence. You guys deserve medals and statues everywhere.
This bike is beauty and the beast. It kidnaps itself locks itself in a castle and the rest of us are unworthy. It's that simple.
Best review video of the SF so far...thank you.
Wow i thought i was watching the late great Ronnie smith, the legend and all round top guy, then i looked again and it was mr fagan, still a top bloke, keep up the goid work lads..
The question is, is it as lovable as the darling of a bike the aprilia tuono 1100 is?
Valid question, but one things for sure the ducati damn sure looks better.

Best review - discussion... for the V4 streetfighter, making sense in every possible way. felt like riding it guys. Great work!
Love the hair Jason....
“Just one of them?” F**king gold, Chris.
Your leathers go super well with the bike too

Ain’t gonna lie; I’m “maxed out” on room in my jacket.
I don't fit anymore in my racefit suit 🤣
not even gonna try & squeeze into mine.
The noise change is probably due to a servo motor that opens a butterfly valve in the exhaust to provide more backpressure at low rpm.
Tuono is half the price and 90% there. Sort of embarrasing for Ducati since the Tuono is essentially 10 years old lol.
Half the price... Show me where you can get a brand new tuono 1100 for £10k...please!
kernplace37, I was thinking the same thing.
Is just a fashion item
~20whp more and ~30lbs less is nothing to scoff at
Are you even surprised there? Ducati have always been late to the party and copying everyone else's designs. And they are overpriced and ugly.
WELL DONE ON 200,000 SUBSCRIBERS 👍🏽not sure why you guys aren't on 1 million yet.

Don’t ever stop dicking around in your videos, it’s the best content out here
Would love to see you put it next to a MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR in a road test comparison. Battle of the Italian Supernakeds!
Love to see you guys review the Kawasaki zh2 👍👍
Don’t know why they never mentioned it here. Super duke blah blah, Tuono blah blah 🙄😆
Gary O'Brien I was thinking the very same thing 😂😂
Bloody fantastic,just what I need in UK with 70 m p h limit and speed cameras every where,not to mention the potholes.

Great content guys, no cruise control for the touring/cruising aspect of this bike?
So I've been thinking about getting a new Multi, but maybe now I'll wait til next year for the V4.
I find the "street mode" on this bike hilarious. If I recall correctly it limits it to 150 BHP !
Bought one a couple weeks ago. Agree with everything you two said.
This video has done nothing for me trying to convince myself to not buy something I can’t afford. Damn you, 44Teeth! Damn you!
Owning a V4s and a diavel 1260s this is the best of both worlds.

Anyone notice, when he gave it the chop! The tft screen went dark!
Great stuff lads as always is the superbike group test/shootout still happening?
I have to say, Ducati have knocked it out of the park with this one (by all accounts). Seems like a fantastic motorcycle
Agreed the price seems too high for the competitive competition, and being the top model surely it needs more carbon, heated grips and some funky colours. Looks like I am sticking with the Speciale for the masochistic days and the XSR for bad back days and when I don’t need my testicles toasted.
