Ducati Superleggera V4 vs 1299 Superleggera on the Dyno! Horsepower War!

- I finally got a chance to put both of these bikes on the dyno and the results are fascinating. All SAE corrected numbers, 91 octane Shell pump gas. Weather was very nice, ranging between 70-75 degrees F and low humidity.
Previously the V4SL had made 201.4 horsepower so apparently it liked the weather or additional break-in. I never dynoed the 1299SL prior to this day.
Mentioned in the video, these bikes are a fair amount of work to get torque numbers on and I’ve been hesitant to use a lot of Shorty’s time ripping the bikes apart. But maybe in the future we’ll make it happen.
Let me know in the comments what you think, what other details you’d like to know, and like and subscribe please!

The 1299 SL sounds brutal 🔥
Regardless of the horsepower figure, the 1299 is my bike, such a work of art!
Thank you for the comparison!
Thanks for sharing, very very interesting, hope to see the torque figures.
Ye and a weight in, cause thier is some controversy...
Love them both but the 1299 steals my heart
Thank you for sharing this video appreciated !!! SL's are great bikes for sure and best to have both in the stable. I come from Aprilia and had the RSV4 rf 1000 2016 decided to change to Ducati. I rode back to back test drive the V4s with Akrapovic fitted and the 1299s stock , and as you described the V4 showed more power and modern but the 1299 is brutal with that torque. I choosed the 1299s and will install Akrapovic and upgrade ecu.
Thank you for the video. Real interesting.
Very special video, thank you for sharing. I have a soft spot for the 1299 and plan to eventually own a 1299s, but there's no denying that the v4 is probably the better bike w/ the better drivetrain. Still.. 1285ccs of L-twin torque on a bike that weighs 368lbs is the thing that appeals to me most (besides my opinion that the panigale looks peaked w/ the 1299 series). Definitely can't wait to experience the 1299s one day.
1299 feels more raw and exciting v4 is extreamly capable im talking s model of course since I have only ridden those but il tell you this the v4 speciale with mag wheels and race kit is supposed to be the most exciting v4 it's nowhere near as scarry as a base 1299s and 1299sl seems to be the most exciting of the 1299 range while the v4 sl is the most tame of the v4 2 different animal but if I have to choose the 1299 sl would be a bike I would love to ride all that drama and excitement.
@@patthonsirilim5739 just bought a 1299S and I am taken back. It is amazing. So agile, yet so powerful. I'm in love.
Thanks, great vid as always, if both went to a specialist tuner there must be more to come, interesting on the tests and I found that the 1299 was hard to hold on to with the power I don’t see anyone saying that about the V4 so I guess the V4 is more user friendly, must admit I don’t like my 1299SL on the road, too aggressive and way to hot, my 1199 is bad enough!
I agree with you about that with all superbikes on the road. I like the SFV4 and my GS for the road! And yes, the V4SL is more user friendly for sure IMHO.
TouchUpDirect both my 1199 and 1299SL are an event to ride with the noise and insane power, does the V4 give the same feeling?
@@farmind6582 yeah it is still an event for sure. But it is a more refined event...ultimately that’s what probably makes it faster around a track. But the lightened internals, wings and whatnot do make it more difficult to ride and an event always.
Cool video and interesting, thanks for sharing, to see two my dream bike..
Impressive, so are these your bikes? The 1299 SL is still my favorite version of the SL, love how raw it sounds, and of course the torque that she makes is impressive.
Yes, they are mine...I love motorcycles and I love Ducati. Yes, I love the 1299 SL too, but equally the V4. I'm not one who minds Ducati shifted directions, I love the passion and technology.
@@TouchUpDirect awesome man, I agree Iv own a V4 Speciale, and have owned an 1199 and 1299 anniversario. I just miss a twin, your V4 SL is incredible! I have most of my riding reviews on my channel...oh and I think i've used your paint on my hellcat before😀
@@oneonlyxram Great, thanks!!
Also the 1299 weighs about 20 pounds less too.. I absolutely love the V4 and wish all the japanese makers would make V4s but I'm a Vtwin guy thru and thru.. Honda Rc 51 is my favorite bike of all time..and there is just something rly viscous about a V twin with 200 to the ground lmao
Do you think you can post the dyno charts somewhere online like on the forums? Or possibly email it? Trying to draw some statistical conclusions.
I don't even have them anymore, it's been a few years now. I can ask the operator but can't really promise anything.
@@TouchUpDirect oh wow, okay no worries if not. I was just wanting to compare dyno sheets from all of the SLs and since you've got 2 of the 3 of them that were done on the exact same day & on the same dyno, the data would be pretty useful. Either way, thanks Uri!
wow!
Wow i have a 1299s and was going to sell for a v4 base model but maybe not any more... ❤
Test ride a V4! It's pretty special...
Awsome!.... lol just curios, who the F&$%! would dislike this Video? Only one lame ass would. It is not every day would you see two different SL's on a dyno! Sow how great the bikes are. Glad you have the Shorty's t-shirt on! Thanks Uri
So cool
To be fair the V4 does give up some extra displacement to the V-twin. The V4 is 999cc and the Vtwin is a 1285cc (cheater motor). That being said I would have to argue that is the most powerful production v-twin ever made. I am bias (own a 1299). Just think that V4 is one ugly muther fu@ker compared to the V-twin. I was chasing a V4 at my last trackday... i was in shock how hard/fast it pulled out of a corner. Never seen anything run like that.
Which is the "superleggera" of the 2??
They're both SL's but the 1299 is lighter.
Very similar power figures. Which one feels faster on the road?
They feel very, very different from each other. The 1299 is brutal. It has so much torque and HP and feels much smaller than the V4 so the perception is that it’s faster. But I believe that’s a direct effect from what I just mentioned. The V4 is more refined, yet still wicked fast. And the way the V4 revs is nuts...sometimes it feels like it’s time to shift, yet I’m on;y at 12-13,000 rpm (so 3000+ to go!). When it’s at the top of the rev range it is so manic and so fast it’s really difficult to describe. It just keeps pulling like nothing I’ve ever ridden before. To answer the question, I suppose ultimately the V4 feels faster, but in such a different way it’s hard to answer definitively.
@@TouchUpDirect Appreciate the reply. I have a 1299SL at the moment and the more I watch your videos the closer I get to pulling the trigger on the V4SL. lol.
@@MrStair308 I’m pretty confident in saying you wouldn’t be disappointed.
Are these bikes stock or do they have exhaust and tunes on them?
Both of these bikes came with the “race kit” from Ducati. That includes the full Akrapovic exhaust with a Ducati tune. Both of these bikes have their kits installed.
@@TouchUpDirect I gotta have more cowbell..ha ha
Favorite part of this video is the am1 curry.. lol
I don't understand why you are waiting to the v4 to reach the 600 miles. So when it reach the 600 miles it gain hp ?
Gasoline engines will make more power after the break-in period
So the extra $20,000 original sticker price gets you about 5hp extra about 20lbs heavier and less torque?
Not to mention the V4 S.L. honestly looks like $hit with all those bat wings on it... I'll take that 1299 SL all day long !
LOL, well more like 15 pounds and 6 horsepower, but yeah, that's about the shape of it!
Rwhp?
That's horsepower to the wheel
If I want v4 ill go rsv4. If I want l twin ill go ducati.
