What I wouldn't give for a summers day and a V4S Streetfighter for the day ATM 😥 Great first ride review sir 👍
You and me both Chopsie!! Our time will come...
Who is ATM? 😆
Visit Miami Chops you can ride mine !!!!! Its the greatest motorcycle ever built!!!!! Never gets old riding it!!! Stupid comfortable,Stupid power!!!!
ATM = At the Moment
@@TheMissendenFlyer oh dear! Thank you for that! 😚
"If you're going to spend 17, you might as well spend 19....." A man after my own heart. Haha.
There is a psychological explanation for this - "good money after bad syndrome" or something.....
Haha, such good man maths.
Read this as he said it in the video
"Heated grips! ... might have to talk to management". Priceless!
Can’t go out on my tiny Suzuki so watching a man ride around on a big Ducati.
Kinda happy you didn’t release the videos as you finished recording, keeps us all entertained in this misery. Thank you.
Yes a bit of a stroke of luck that eh! The one time I've been glad I tend to film way in advance!
That's a machine that I loved from concept to execution but have not yet had the experience of riding it. This year, I will set that right. Killer machine. No way to debate it.
Love the subtitles on here, today your "serbastian fly" the other day "Mr Fly" love it !
I rode the 2019 V4 Panigale and loved it but only for short periods, it certainly looks like Ducati have remedied this with the Streetfighter, a real dream machine.
Wow Mr. Fly, a mouthwatering speedy review of a stunning Ducati. It looks better on film than on the website. Great to hear it clicking through the gears and especially on those beautiful sun lit roads. Just wow! What biker wouldn’t like to be there blasting it on.
Looking forward to seeing the negatives and positives review when it’s loaded. Thanks for loading the film on a cold damp January!! 👍🙏
Yes those roads seem a while ago now!
Another revellous review TMF, can only imagine what the MY21 will be like with it's wider midrange. Great review!
Great video! Have a V4S myself... absolutely LOVE it. Looking forward to your comparison with the 1290 SD. Cheers.
Brilliant as all ways can’t w8 to see more !
I was looking at when you rode the XDiavel back from Silverstone. The difference between that and the Streetfighter along the straight from Stowe House to Buckingham is astonishing. The Streetfighter's active suspension is a marvel. Looking forward to the next vids 😀 👍
I’m always stunned by how much better the iphone pictures are compared to the wideangle gopro.
Such a nice bike!!
Great review as usual😄👍🏻
Totally agree! iPhone cameras are brill....
I really enjoy your Chanel mate! Keep up the good and fun content!
Thanks, will do!
english old towns are absolutely charming! i've lived there for 3-4 years some while ago, i still miss that.
Nice bike Andy... I can't wait till it is warmer hear in Canada. Cheers and thanks for your take on a dream bike of mine.
Any time!
It’s such a great bike Andy, isn’t it. I’m waiting until I get some guaranteed usage and then it’s a raid of the piggy bank. Looking forward to the remainder of your reviews - been anticipating them for a while on this beauty! Shocking weather here though - haven’t been out for a ride for months. Yours aye, Alan
Thanks for taking us along on your ride. I have the Sd so quite interested on what I may be missing :)
More to come!
Great honest review Andy, enjoyed it, that’s started me off again.
You and me both!
Great to see you out and about on Ducati's latest addition to the Scrambler line, TMF. Back-to-basics riding with just enough power to put a smile on your face while leaving a few ducats still in your wallet. Savvy beginner's bike? You betcha.
I’d been looking forward to this video 😎 . “Might have to talk to management” 😂😂
Finally.... I was expecting this from you
Ride safe! 👍✌️
Hope you enjoyed it!
Really really enjoyed this video. Thanks mate.
No problem 👍
Great video Andy
Thanks 👍
Another good first look video TMF.
Just waiting for that V2 version. Cheers TMF.
I wonder if they’ll do one! Seems super close to what the Monster is. But then again, they can have a hooligan bike on the Monster and more of a sharp track bike on the V2 SF.
@@chrissorreda4982 As far as I know the Monster range is reducing to the new light weight 937cc non trellis version, and a MCN exclusive back in December with Ducati's CEO implied a V2 Streetfighter later this year, fingers x'd.
I mean if they have the V2 and had the Streetfighter 848/1098, they have to do a streetfighter V2 🙏🏾😪
Yeah the V2 version is the SDR.
Yes a retuned v2 makes more sense for a good street use .
Very much looking forward to the SDR v SF as looking at buying one during the next month or so. Great review
Stay tuned!
That is one great bike..........looking forward to further vlogs on this machine........stay safe........thanks for sharing
My pleasure - stay tuned!
Thanks for a nice first impression video! I purchased the S model about 6 months ago and while it's the most expensive bike I've ever owned, it is by far the best. Only thing you may find lacking is usable range as the fuel light comes on somewhere around 85 miles. 😂 Also you commented on heated grips: the button is there yes but they must be fitted as an option. Also the aftermarket akra exhaust is ridiculously expensive but the sound it makes afterwards is pretty awesome! All things considered, it is simply an amazing ride! Looking forward to your comparison with the Super Duke R.
Ah, the old A413, takes me back to my old commute. Lovely road if you time it right but scene of many hedgerow visits each spring when the summer bikers come out of hibernation
To me that looks so much nicer than the KTM without scaffolding. I feel another review of your garage contents in the not too distant future Andy!! You literally had a love at first sit there!!
Yes - caught me out this one....if only my bank account wasn't so depleted after the last purchase!
G'Day TMF. Great first review ride, loved it . The bike is a real gem, with more than enough power,grunt and looks.
Did i hear you say you should trade in a couple of bikes and buy one, or was it a tongue in cheek statement.
Nice review , as always 😀💪
Thanks! 👍
Awesome video mate. I’d have the street fighter just for the V4 and seating position. I’m a sucker for the V4s , currently have a crossrunner and the engine is just magic ....
The tft display looks to have some glitches, it gets blurry at higher speeds. You better have Ducati take a look at it.🤣 Bedtime in the USA. Goodnight or morning to all.
😆 🤣 😂
Good day MissendenFlyer, I think I just felt in love with the Streetfighter V4s, saw one in the flesh and it's quite stunting i must say. Also I'm quite surprised as to how loud the stock exhaust is, did not expect that. Awesome bike.
Couldn't agree more!
Looks and sound great! Looking forward to further videos on this... 👍
Yes surprised me this one Graham....
@@TheMissendenFlyer Its a lovely bike Andy and I am tempted, but the RS 660 or Tuono 660 would probably be all I would need for my collection, but you never know. When we get back to normality and can demo bikes again I will be trying a few of these types of bikes.
Great vid & lovely bike. I'm still holding out for he V2 personally as I prefer V-Twins but this is the daddy.
Lovely video and you can understand why I have one in my garage 😀
I certainly can Raj - as much as I liked that big trumpet, this Ducati makes waay more sense.....
Good one!
Looking forward to your comparison with the Super Duke V3
Coming soon!
Nice vid to brighten a Monday morning, cheers Andy 👍🏻
Sat on one of these and the build quality is great but I can’t get past the looks. Hate those bi-plane wings (which, let’s be honest, are pointless for the road)
I love the looks of it, seems a natural step up from my 2002 z1000. I can't wait to get my hands on one, In red of coarse!
Shout out to you for starting off the video riding the bike already and not just talking a bunch.
Glad you approve!
Just what I need after being told to lock down for 10 days due to the 'Vid. Cheers for the review.
Hope you get through your isolation OK.....sorry to hear that :0(
Good honest review of the bike I'm 54 and have had a bike on the road since I was 16,, old git,, lived in the time before the speed cameras,, now like you said I enjoyed this type of bike be awesomely quick or nip to the shop,, brilliant happy men,, extra lottery tickets for me 🎟️🎟️🎟️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
0:04 looking forward to your new van reviews Andy :) the van fixation has got the better of you ;)
I'm 'only' 38 and comfort is the one area I'm not prepared to compromise on, whatever the bike! So important.
Very true...you’re wiser beyond your years....
That was a really great video. I'm Scottish and it's nice to hear a streetfighter video that hasn't got an American accent. There is no overly excited voice shouting that they are "super-stoked" or claiming that the bike is "Insane".
I just got a V4 SP Streetfighter 3 weeks ago and I haven't been able to get out due to the weather, so I'm watching TH-cam and dreaming of sunny days. Thanks for the professional video. I sub'd you. 👍
Thank you and welcome along! Congratulations on your new bike…!
@TheMissendenFlyer thank you buddy. 👍
Great bike in great weather. Very Ducati sounding engine note.
Wow I thought I was hooked on a V2 and might have been too much bike. Now seeing your review already it could be my next dreams bike! As always Flyer love your work.
Thank you David!
Completely agree i didn't think much on the pictures but it looks and sounds fantastic
I thought the same if the current s1000rr - in the flesh I reckon it is close to the PV4S in terms of beauty.
Great review! Seems like for that price they should include cruise control!
Great video. Interesting as normal. Bit surprised this premium piece of kit does not have a fuel gauge?
I hate keyless ignitions, more so on bikes.
What a bike, I can't wait to see how it compares to the new 1200 Triumph Speed Triple. I am tempted by this, but the Triumph has my heart first.
I had to like the video before I even watched, what a machine!
Legend!
Keyless ignition is indeed a solution to a non existent problem.
Why is this such a big deal lol. Its one thing when tech ruins something (electronic steering on cars), its another to unnecessarily want to have ‘old’ tech (keyless entry/ignition).
My mate had his BMW keyless nicked just before Christmas, they captured and played back the wireless key with zero difficulty (it would seem).
I guess you've never dropped your keys at a petrol station then spent the next 10 minutes panicking trying to find them like I have then! A lot of riders have no other keys with it which makes it easier to loose plus of course if commuting bike thieves are known to come up next to you at the lights, steal your keys and then ride off hoping you'll leave your bike at the roadside so they can then steal it with the aid of another gang member spotting for them. I've had it on my last 2 GS' and like it, though I would agree it's not much use unless the fuel cap is keyless too. It's more convenience than anything, if you've never had it you're probably not bothered but once you do have it keyless becomes a nice to have.
@@cpuuk Sorry i dont quite understand what happened here. Your friend’s keyless fob was snatched from him and then?
@@Bazza47 Yeah i think the people that are either meh or against keyless (cars or bikes) are ones who haven’t lived with one long term. Its like auto wipers and lights on cars, hard to understand how handy they are until you’ve had them on your daily driver.
Lovely looking bike Tmf your very lucky and all the bikes in garage. thanks from danny
I like to think of myself as fortunate rather than lucky.....
What a lovely bike. Agreed, I didn't like it when I first saw it but it does look very nice now 😁
Great video! Please can I ask where you mount your helmet cam? The shots always look spot on, and I have trouble mounting my go pro and getting a shot that is t too high or too low! Thanks! Ride safe 👍🏼
It’s on the side of my helmet at eye level...
Thanks 🙏🏻
Looks like an awesome bit of kit! I always find myself conflicted though with hyper nakeds having so much power and speed available but with no fairings. Still, I always love the fact we have these choices as I don’t think it will always be this way. The number plate holder though, ouch!
Agreed - that would have to go....
On my GS I find keyless quite convenient. Mainly because I have to carry so many keys for the bike; namely 1 BMW (to release BMW sat nav when parked), 2 Givi key for top box (too mean to buy BMW item), 3 Litelok, 4.Disc lock. So without keyless I’d have this lot banging about in front of me.
What do others do?
another great video! was wondering wot camera are you using whilst riding? thanks
GoPro 9
Another great vid! Did it sound quite tinny in the flesh? Or just how the microphone picked it up?
Microphone I guess, not the greatest sounding bike stock though I have to say....
Thanks Andy for another informative video. Being old school to me the Ducati was a big thumping twin, but I know the times have changed and the Ducati has grown two extra pots and lost the thump.
This one seems quite zippy, but I don’t like the idea of the Speedo fuzzing out when you give it a fist full lolol. Thanks again from Down Under 😎😎🐝
Thanks for watching once again Bob - appreciated!
Looking for a bike to compliment my 2014 R1200GS and I think this one might fit the bill! I've heard the Street Fighter V4 with the Akropovic full exhaust and found it to be positively evil sounding! Thanks for another great review.
in 1969 we put men on the moon but due to technical issues Ducati cant get a fuel gage to work... on a premium expensive bike £20,000
😄😄😄😄🤷🏻♂️
I ride a Panigale V4 and to be honest, couldn't care less. I can comfortably ride 30km on reserve, which is all I need to know really. I mostly refuel every 200 kilometers on a regular road ride, just like on the S1000RR I used to have.
Its because the shape of the fuel tank (an "S" ) cant fit a floater for the fuel gauge. Same reason why the aprilia v4 doesnt have one. you just cant
@@giovanniquargentan6198 it's just Italians being Italians. it doesn't have to be a floating gauge were a bit techier than that.
@@michaelnewman5 i told you the reason not an assumption, you are free to think whatever
How beautiful is that bike!
Yes it's definitely grown on me!
Ooof hefty price there but a lot of bike liking this one Andy the damper looks like an after thought maybe but a small thing i think your gonna have a lot of fun with this beast . : )
"Oh gosh, I’ll have to talk to management!" 😂 Looks like you’re going to need a larger garage TMF! Lovely looking and sounding bike, great review.
Yes I rather fell for this one again...there may be trouble ahead!
@@TheMissendenFlyer but if you got rid of the street triple and the V2 it wouldn't cost THAT much on top and you'd free up garage space! It would be rude not to buy one really......
...but I love my Panigale and Streetie....
@@TheMissendenFlyer But you already said the Street Triple would be the next to go in the Gold Wing video ;)
Great review mate. I would like to hear how you would kit this bike out for touring.
The way to do that is to buy a V4S Multistrada with panniers and top box and tank bag......this is not meant as a tourer at all.
Agreed, that i didn't like the looks of this thing when it first came out, but it's definitely grown on me and I think it looks great. Recently saw one with a tail tidy and an SC Project dual high mount exhaust in titanium/carbon, and it just looked awesome.
Yeah I agree...it grows on you this one (especially when you ride it!)....
Really interested in what its like in the rain, in the cold, in windy conditions. Considering using this all year round. No doubt on a lovely summer day its an awesome bit of kit. But there are no reviews yet that show what its like to live with in the winter. Under horrid rain and wind. Trust TMF to bring us the first down to earth review. Rather than another video of someone twisting the throttle, laughing like a madman and saying its great! Any bike is great in a straight line on a summers day.
nobody tests such bikes with cold and wet conditions because it makes no sense, yea it can do that has electronic safety controls and stuff and the v4 engine is quite docile, but why would you use this during winter. Buy a little scooter for that
What a lovely bike......tempted!
You and me both!
I will never not own/ ride this Streetfighter V-4S Nothing I have found can come close!! Its Phenomenal, especially un-corked!! Akropavic in full effect with a Ducati Corsa map!!! Bonkers fast!!!
Lovely bike TMF , See if you can blag the new V4 Multistrada when you take it back, be great to get your thoughts on that.
You had me at comfort, now that really is a machine and half.........that radiator & oil cooler look expensively vulnerable aftermarket guard required? A peach of a bike that I’d love to own👍
Awesome Andy. Thank you! No fashion show at the end? 😜👍😎🇦🇺
Always keep them wanting more!
@@TheMissendenFlyer 🤣🤣🤣👍😎🇦🇺
@@TheMissendenFlyer indeed! As you don’t go as far by saying what’s behind the gear... 😜
thanks for the valuable feedback. what s the sitting position like? upright or more aggressive ? ( compared to the Monster?). any pressure on the wrists?
No pressure on the wrists...
Personally the fuel gauge sensors need sorting out from Ducati. I’ve had mine replaced and still decides when it wants to not read a fully tank. Many have found them quite wonky.
Andy.. really enjoyed the vid.. you commentary is excellent... agree with you Ducati has an awesome enjoy.... Question: Can you do a review of 500-650cc adventure bikes??
Yep - stay tuned!
@@TheMissendenFlyer you are a gentleman sir... I don't care what anyone else say's!!!!!!
I will never be able to afford one but i would love to own one of these.
Another great video. Would you think about selling your Ducati and Street Triple R to get yourself one?
Possibly! ...but not the Panigale!
A dream bike for me.
Very Nice. Looking like a Kooool-er r1250r.
Cracking review TMF 👌 for 19K I'd want a fuel gauge tho!
I was just saying to myself that would definitely benefit from a tail tidy and there you were with the same phrase 😀
Great video. Looked like a standard exhaust though and not the akra as you said 🤔
Oops - you may well be right, my bad!!
Try the Comfort seat !!! Excellent!!!
Keyless ignition would keep the key and key chain from leaving scratches all over that area of the bike/tank. That's about the biggest benefit I can see with that tech/feature/capability. Might be a little more secure as far as theft deterrence, too.
So many bikes, so little time. Another one to put on the bucket list.
Yep!
great video 👍 I've ordered the V4 sp but watch a lot of the review I hope the V4Sp is as good as the street fighter
See you use the Gopro 8 with the media pod what mic do you use sounds really good
Just an eBay lavalier mic, only a cheapo...
@@TheMissendenFlyer wow its so clear there no wind noise that the mic or you editing skills 😂
Management, aka the Wife!
Nice video TMF. Little bit too much power for the road for me. Still, I look forward to your reviews of it.
I own one and can tell you that it’s very well behaved below 7500 RPM.
Cool looking bike, it could do with a fly screen / cowl to cover the back of the tft / clocks although that would possibly spoil the aggressive looks. £20k and no fuel gauge, hmm..... Thanks again TMF.
You are right, does look better in the flesh. When I saw it in person, it was only moderately ugly!
Nice review as always!
Great first ride review. I’m looking at the street fighter and the KTM duke but nearly £20k is a lot of money, I’ve heard rumours of a V2 street fighter. If that was price around £13k I think it would sell really well.
Totally agree
Hey there Sonny! My next birthday will be 70. Let's grab a couple of those and head for the track?
Now that’s the proper way to fit the headlights, all tucked in nice and cozy. ** Cough...Triumph Street Triple...Cough**
You will need to extend your garage with the gold wing taking up all the room thanks again Tmf from danny
I’ve been looking forward to your review on this Andy , this mainly being because I can’t keep going out on salted roads and keep washing mine which I got in December (not a great time to buy a bike) I totally agree with you on the looks I didn’t like it at first, it bugs the life out of me that it hasn’t got cruise control, I can live with the fact it hasn’t got a fuel gauge, but, whilst running in I’ve seen 85 miles to reserve 😳 . I love it though, it’s a great bike .
Crikey!!
is that steering damper standard? great vid as always sir.
Yes
Yes looks a bit aftermarket
