I have the same problem with the heat in slow town traffic, so I decided to remove the exhaust system and send off the pipes to have them ceramic coated which is supposed to reduce the heat from the pipe by 30%. We will see if this help. You will get neck ache if you try and sit up and ride this bike like a street bike. The suspension on my V4S does a good job with handling rough road, so I never noticed a problem. I also added spacers to the throttle to take up the slack and stop jerky throttle responses at slow speed. Great video 🙂
Thanks Graham. Here’s to hoping the ceramic coating works. If not maybe some tin foil on your leg to reflect the heat 🤣.
Also I’m an old broken man which won’t help with neck ache 😁
Did the ceramic coating help @grahambrown5874 ?
I've got the same bike. It is an occasion to ride it every time. it tips in to corners very easily and is definately useable on the smooth twisty UK roads (which is rare).
A good tip would be..do not ride in anything but leathers otherwise you feel the heat much worse!
Also the V4 engine does drink alot of fuel.
My Tuono had a drinking problem too :). I’d love this bike to be a show piece, like you said, something to come out very rarely.
Thanks for the honest street review
No problem 👍
Fun video. Keep up the good work 🎉
Thanks mate. 🤙
Love your review style.
Cheers Sean. Ride safe.
Cheer up mate!!!
I’ve still got 3rd degree burns 🤣🤣
The way I see it is this way, you either want a race bike or a Cruiser. If you get a fast high-performance sportbike such as the Ducati v4s it's not going to be comfortable, the V4 is considered track ready bike. Ducati knows that people are going to take the mirrors off for the track,. So they made them thin and cheap also for lightweight. If you don't want to be baked by the exhaust you have to take the big factory exhaust off. I have the v4s and I absolutely love my bike.
Why can't we have it both ways :). I dont want my nuts burnt every time I go for a ride (not that I own one though) Im more down the naked route now for my Sunday rides. and oddly between the SF V4 / SFV2, I personally would choose the V2. UK roads are falling apart so I dont need no break neck speeds from the V4. Enjoy your V4S mate.
@DSR1YT why can't you have it both ways!!? ask the manufacturer!! when they built that bike it was made for the racetrack. You can't buy a V4S which is actually built for the race track and think that you can comfortably drive it around town, tooling around, if you want that get the naked version, that Motors detuned it's more comfortable for cruising around on. Why should Ducati give up their race bike to keep people like you happy!, they didn't Build The V4S for people with your type of riding style, they built that bike to cater to people like me and my riding style, they built the naked for people like you your riding style ( more chill )
Totally right Mark, knee down and wheelie action has never taken place on a naked chill bike. You crack on and enjoy your bent over riding style with the smell of burning leg hair each time you ride.
i chose the streetfighter v4 quite happy with it
🤙🤙
This is why i changed from the zx10r,when i bought it,i could go hatchet nearly everywhere except towns and its comfortable at speeds.the weights off your wrists etc.these days,you get stuck behind doris and dave for miles and end up crippled!its a track day bike imo if you want to use the 200+ bhp.
Good review mate,i can see you struggled with the ergonomics,good effort all round!😂
Haha thanks mart, a struggle is a nice way of putting it 🤣.
Only the best of us are truly getting the most out of this machine on track. Absolutely wasted on the roads. Especially uk roads. But I’ll never really complain about having the opportunity to take this machine out 😁
@@DSR1YT i dont mind 200bhp motorcycles being about,i do wonder who buys one just to cruise about on the uk roads?i do know why i used to cruise about on my sportsbike though,but im not single anymore!🤣🤣
@mart7798 Me too :). Let’s face it, when you are young and want to learn to ride, its to ride a sports bike. Whilst based out in Cyprus, sports bikes were amazing, no speed cameras, police didn’t pull bikes over, it was good times all round. UK isn’t like this, and our roads are terrible. Give me something comfortable to ride any day of the week.
@@DSR1YT yeah,im not going to argue with you on the comfort thing.sad old buggers that we are now!🤣
And you got yourself a new subscriber 😊
Thanks mate, welcome to the club.
😂@blurring the speedo....
I just can't decide between this or the rsv4 to replace my f3 800.
Both uncomfortably amazing bikes. Beautiful to look at, if you’re struggling to choose between these two then you’ve got good problems to have 🤣🤣.
My vote would be RSV4.
@@DSR1YT rsv4? Why?
I'm 6'3 & 120kg what you think for comfortable riding for me ?
Honestly, id have to say no, but don't take my word for it, go find a dealer and sit on this beast of a bike :)
Mirrors definitely looked like they was an after thought very flimsy,as a current mt10 owner sit up and beg definitely for me great review of the bike but needs to be on the track.
This bike would be insane on track. A quick 20 minute session would be all I could manage though before needed a break and to cool down 🤣
Well, I’ve come into some money and was gonna get one of these for my first bike After seeing this review I don’t think I’ll get it now
Kudos for thinking about getting this for your first bike.
Easy answer is get out on a test ride. But you’ll find I’m not far off with what I’ve said 🤣🤙
I absolutely hate how the V2 and V4 sound they remind me of a Hyosung GT650
Haha maybe, but spend an extra few grand and put a nice exhaust on it and man it sounds good.
Man those winglets are hideous other than that nice!
But how else do you tell everyone you go super fast without having winglets on the side? :)
You made my decision easy. I was torn between this and the BMW S1000RR and I am 5’9 😂
Don’t leave me hanging then. Which are you going for? 😁. I’ve also tested the RR if you’re interested. 🤙
Sounds almost like my multistrada pikes pig (yes, I made a very financially responsible decision on Saturday, now to sell the tuono and SMC 😂)
Don’t worry, you aren’t the only one, i owned an SMC for 6 months, hated it, sold it for the Tuono, Loved the Tuono, sold that and now I’ve ended up with the GSA. Natural progression of every rider. Enjoy the PP mate.
@@DSR1YT we just get old and get old man bikes
@volodymyrshoniia2424 I wish I didn’t agree with you, but i do :). Or is it a sensible bike not an old mans bike. We are wise with our years of wisdom. Either way, I’m comfortable, get good mileage and i got bags to carry my walking stick :)
@@DSR1YT same, the sacrifice of comfort just isn't worth it to me anymore since not every road is a fun twisty road, and sometimes there are boring straight roads on the way to fun roads, or just regulating commuting/trips.
@volodymyrshoniia2424 Exactly mate, or stuck in traffic, uk pot holes and the rest :). Naked bikes for pure fun and adventure / touring bikes for the rest.
Its an amazing fantastic motorcycle. Unfortunately by the time we are older enough to afford one. Our bodies are not up to it. Yes there are those who are still chasing their youth and I salute you.
They had me sat in a BMW I8 at the rugby club. Great whilst I was just sat there. Needed help getting out of the car on my hands and knees. Not a great look!!! needless to say I wasn't interested.
I feel your pain mate. There will always be the over 50’s trying to maintain the image of them being young, i too applaud them, but sadly this bikes riding style just isn’t for me. Or you buy the sounds of it :).
@@DSR1YT no my friend, they are not. Modified my ktm GT to be more spacious and thought I had found my soulmate. Unfortunately it thought differently and the traction control spat me over the bars at speed. Wrote both of us off. Lost confidence in orange as I was always waiting for it to break. It never did. Electronics have really hurt me and I’m looking for something that I can switch everything off. Be good to see you reviewing a tracer GT. I can’t ride for the rest of the year.
Dam, sorry to hear that. Speedy recovery my friend. Not sure if you’ve seen my GT issues but I too don’t have trust in the orange machines.
Actually I’m booked in on this coming Thursday to ride either the Tracer 9 GT + (if it’s road ready) or I’ll be out on the standard tracer 9 GT. 😁. You ask and I shall deliver.
@@DSR1YT I have unfortunately fella. Hope you have better luck with the GS. Thanks mate
@garethmayfield4014 luckily so far I am. Every now and then I catch myself looking at the tft screen waiting for an engine light, like I was with the GT. Fortunately nothing so far 😁
This bike is a monster fucking everything and everyone 😅
Lovely looking bike but not my cup of tea, carn't beat a sit up and beg naked 👍
It wasn’t a pleasant experience that was for sure. No panigale in my future sadly. Even the Streetfighter was still really aggressive. Not as much though. 😁
