2018 Ducati Panigale V4 Prototype: Quest to Ride the New Superbike - ON TWO WHEELS

- Ride an 851, a 1299 Final Edition, and take a special trip to Italy to see Ducati’s Panigale V4 superbike in action and being built.
--
A new Ducati superbike is a rare thing. It's the motorcycle equivalent of a flower that only blooms every five years or so. For our team here, living and breathing in two-wheel fandom every day, the prospect of a MotoGP-derived four-cylinder Ducati superbike was (and is) exciting. With each rumor, leaked photo, cell-phone video, and small announcement, we chatted and speculated over what the bike would be like to ride. What would it sound like? Would it be faster than a 1299 V-twin? You might say the obsession grew to a point that we couldn't stand.
Half of an invitation to go to Italy and see the new Panigale in action was all we needed. We took a tour of the production line (which any guest can do, by the way), and soaked up an impossibly drool-worthy lineup of museum superbikes-851, 916, 999, 1098, 1299, and the new V4 all in one room. Nothing brings out the little kid in us quite like being at a motorcycle factory. Then the main event: swinging a leg over the very prototype that Casey Stoner rode to help the factory develop the new platform.
We brought cameras along so that we could share the experience with everyone we know. Hopefully the video above brings out the same unusual, adolescent level of enthusiasm that only the most special flowers… err, motorcycles, can really summon in all of us.

Talk about ducati trusting you with a prototype in those conditions....
I was thinking the same, zack must be a really well known reliable rider-journo, haha... and Motorcyclist Magz reputation too
R i v a l r y R i d e
Right i mean its 1 thing letting your best friend ride your bike let alone a prototype that nobody can get their hands on
Words cannot describe how incredibly jealous of this experience AND how happy I am that you were able to share it with us. Any step that moves Ducati towards understanding the importance of the TH-cam and social media world in selling and getting information into the hands of its fans and riders is a step in the right direction for me. Well done guys. 👏👍
Jaret Campisi cammmpppiiissiiiiiii
Bidhan Phuyal haha yea buddy!!!!
aluisious good to hear. I had heard a rumor that Ducati corporate thought print media was going to make a comeback and didn’t respect the TH-cam community...
planning to get a new *cough bike *cough bro? XD
I already announced that I ordered the Speciale at the NYC motorcycle show :)
Fantastic!! Unsure what to be jealous about more - The 851 or the prototype! Awesome stuff!
PowerDrift waiting for your review guys.. with love from tamilnadu
PowerDrift ayeeeeeeee my boiiii
It would be a awesome addition in game of performance
wow
at least the rain gave it a really cinematic look, great vid guys
Its so beautiful, even it's a prototype.
Thank you for all effort you put in this video ;)
Very entertaining! You guys continue to raise the bar of motorcycle journalism.
Not when they say both bikes share Belt driven cams - 1199's and 1299's have cam Chains!
Wow amazing video! I’ve been to the museum myself and god damn i nearly passed out a couple of times! Such a stunning display of historic bikes. Im also blown away by the quality of this video and that you actually got to film this for us, cant imagine what it must be like riding a v4 panigale in Italy! Stuff of dreams...
That guy Mark Hoyer is making a magnific job with this videos. Congratulations for all the team of Mototcycle Magazine, excelent video.
Can't wait for the production bike first ride video.
3 seconds in and I've clicked the like button. I already know this is gonna be epic. Motorcyclist Magazine puts out the best two-wheeled content on the internet. Period. Keep up the outstanding work, guys!
This video was so awesome. I was so happy I was about to cry. There are some motorcycles that make you happy even when watching other people ride them.
Best part of this vid is seeing the new dash. That shit is awesome! Shows that a traditional tach is always best, but incorporating it into a beautiful digital layout is phenomenal.
Put a 916, a 999 and an 1198 in between and you've got yourself something really special to look at. Very cool video! Shame about the conditions on track.
Zack your Italian mission even with rain didn't fail, I call it "the scouting recon part." Totally fine for weapon analysis. Now send Ari to Italy to complete the mission!
CEO of Ducati but so humble. The sweater, so common and not fancy at all. Respect.
Dream tour inside Ducati factory!!! Excellent video.
Man 80s bikes are the best. That 851 is soo sexy.
888 SP
Brononomous good one ! Bought a 1981 900 ss put 196.000 miles on it. Loved it!! .traded in for 2001 st2 after 206.000 miles now I have a 2011 multistrada 1200s looking forward to putting miles on this one also ! Cheers
They're THICC.
Really enjoyed this video - you guys weren't the typical "this is soooo sick" Americans reviewing a bike, so that helped hugely :-D Subbed.
The 851 is beautiful. In 1994 I wanted the 916 soooooooo bad. Sadly, I had to 'settle' for a Ducati 900SS CR. It was a lovely ride. I heart Ducatis
this is one of your guys best videos ever. Great job! I could watch this all day. I didn't even care that you didn't get to unleash the beast but it was still an awesome video and you guys make it.
God it's amazing to see how far stock exhausts have come.
Great video! You guys are so knowledgeable and articulate. Perfect blend of entertainement and education. Thanks again!
It's the first time I have seen Ari on the bike ! 851 is looking cool and special!
Amazing video guys... Amazing... Words are short, my heart is pumping fast... The L-twins are going to the history books... 1299 Panigale final edition looks so so beautiful... We hope the V4 lives to its hype
Thanks for the first inside look! I can't wait to see and hear it up close.
This video reminds me of a special review of 2014 josh hayes yzf R1... really good to see another amazing episode on two wheels... awesome you guys both... 👏
Oddly enough the rain made the bike pop out more, beautiful bike despite being a complete beast. Amazing machine and video.
The new format is incredible! Well done guys
i know the current technique is unbelievable, but my favorite is still the 851 (Y) great vid MoMag
Fantastic job, you nailed it and got a 'sit down' with Domenicali. Rocking!
Best. Commute. Ever!
You guys are awesome.
Love the storyline... good stuff, keep it coming.
My first trackday was in conditions exactly like this. I wish it could've at least been warm but I think you learn more riding in these conditions
It doesn't even take Zack even A SINGLE SECOND to throw the stereotypical italian hand up during his extra credit reel of "performante" hahaha, that had me in stitches.
Absolutely awesome that you guys got Domenicali in this. Great video!
All ducati's in person sound so good. I couldn't say the same on camera
The sheer excellence of this video has persuaded me to become a subscriber to the channel.
Awesome video guys...made me fell in love with Ducati..finally!
Swashbuckling!!! This motovlog was amazing guys... Great job!!!
This is a treat to a gearhead's eyes... All the best with the next project...
Appreciate the video, entertaining as always. I think the fawning over the sound of the v-twin at the beginning was a little much though. It just sounded like a v-twin to me...okay maybe a v-twin with aftermarket pipes.
TOP stuff guys! Best channel ever, thanks!!
Hey, new fans here from Indonesia. Really enjou your video, love it!!!
Awesome.. love this great enthusiasm for Duc and attempt to ride it. This bike sounds, looks, describes as the biggest badass out there..
I haven't even watched the video yet and I know it's going to be amazing
Nice. I can't wait for Zach's proper test. Gigglefest is sure to ensue.
This was brilliant, guys. Keep up the good work!
Wonderfully good video full of funny and interesting information.
That was awesome, so well put together.
Damn, you guys are great! Very charming and sweet video and all my hats off to the people at Ducati as well. Makes me feel like wanting to buy a Multistrada.
Holy S***. You guys just rode the hottest bike of 2018.
However gotta say that the wheelbase to body length ratio is slightly odd.
That shot at 1:56-2:01 wow
Benvenuti in Italia ragazzi! - Welcome to Italy guys!
the acting was awesome
That is a beautiful bike!
Shame about the conditions. The sound was so clear even at speed though. Just high quality gear, or post-processing?
I am speechless, it felt like I was in #love with this bike and you guy😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you so very much for this!
Beautiful!! Love from Italy!! Ciao!
Awesome video!
I ride a VFR800 but I would love to give the Ducati a ride!
Mamma Mia ... Thats a beast with a grunt ... If bygone L Twins looked more like crouching leopards the V4 feels like a bear ... Zack howz they look up close ?
Did they really trust you in a rainy day? Nice!
Digging these videos. They're beautiful.
Great vid - but the comment that the 851 was Ducati's first proper sports bike ...that before the 851 Ducatis were just "...sport touring bikes that you could go fast on...". Where does he get that impression from?! Ducati defined the superbike in the early 70's with 750SS!! Then the 900SS ..then the F1. There's nothing wrong with and air cooled 2-valve Ducati! And compared to the aforementioned bikes, the 851 is actually a bit lardy (still love it tho!).
You guys should make a movie about bikes :)
Thanks. I really enjoyed the video.
Lol, I was at the factory and at the museum this summer on a roadtrip, well worth it so cool :)
"Casey Stoner here reporting for duty" lol
Thanks 🙏 Zach
New 1299 V4 looks awesome!
i think its not called 1299.. just plain V4 (1103cc)
MakTheSank you're right
lol FUNNY as hell, nice video guys
Love the sound can't wait for looking it on ruling in at street
Nice vid. Very interesting. Hopefully this v4 not as hot as the v twin.
How will this bike compare to the Aprilla RSV4 factory, only time will tell ?
great vid :)
11:02 lol. everything was spot on including the accent. But you could have made it convincing with an alpinestars suit and Nolan kangaroo helmet.
Sick, just sick!
@ARI HENNING could you please explain about counter-rotating crankshaft seen in the latest ducati v4 & honda nsr
After years in development, hopefully it will be worth the wait.
What road are you guys on at the start of the video??
When you guys gonna review the production V4?

Can you make a video on "how to break in new motorcycle engine"?
And if you already have one , kindly share the link 😊
11:40 beauty
Marco Simoncelli 💜😭
Thank you for the V four really appreciate it. However i will take take my Japanese inline 4 any day. Strap some good tires, and some steel braid lines for the brakes and call it a day and pay twice less.
What a beautiful bike! It would be a shame if it got beaten on the racetrack by a K5 gixxer 🤣😏
Sounds great!! Just like rev-ier VFR850 (shocker) :)
Will Stoner ever come back and use current technologies
Great tube!
Dammn... this thing is beautiful.
Wet conditions often tell you the most about a bikes build quality.
What do you mean on two wheels?
Only one on the ground
And all it would risk was my dignity -Zack said for riding a supersport :D
lets just forget they have the v4 engine tech from there gp bike in the last 10 years XD
Ducati has just began making the right decisions, I would give them another 3 years before I can buy one.
The seating position is so much higher on the 1299.
Okay, now i want a motorvehicle license so i can buy a Ducati! I have a Maserati Quattroporte and i want an Italian bike along side it!
The Panigale series has chain driven cam...
mööööp! Pani has no Belt driven Cams
