On my third year of ownership, just a weekend burner & a occasional commute with zero issues apart from running out of fuel twice, thankfully a good wife to rescue. It’s fast, handles and is very very thirsty but love it to bits 👍🏼 🇬🇧❤️🇿🇦
@@darthzyl the official fuel average of Streetfighter V4 is 13.15 kmpl. With a fuel tank capacity of 16 litres, this bike can go upto 210 kms on full tank but it depends on how hard you ride it, Id half it if really going for it, they sat 60km from fuel light but again how hard you ride it hence why I ran out
Thanks for the reply. Then it is similar to the SDR, except for when you really get on it the SF sounds like it's thirstier 😄. If I can bargain on 160-180km per tank and even more when not going crazy, then that's good imho.
traded in my multistrada v4s for this one today. what a lovely machine! the engine roar is one of a kind. I disagree about it not being smooth when needed. it is an amazing machine in the right hands. but you definitely need to respect it for what it is to avoid mistakes. best bike I’ve ever owned so far.
This is not the 2023 model I was hoping it was 🫣 waiting for the review of the 2023 model . Thanks Any way 👍 New model has more riding modes and also is 17 lit fuel tank and also other upgrades
Thanks for considering the TALL riders. Almost all of these bikes are NOT made with us in mind, and almost NONE of the clothing for motorcycling takes tall riders into consideration. Great video. Love my V4 Streetfighter and at 6’4”, i ride it everywhere all the time. The only downside is that t passes everything on the road, except the petrol station…
And heated grips, it is an option but for the price should be inclusive, Cruise would be lovely as it like a V-twin as you De accelerate you virtually stop, you never get chance to rest your right grip 👍🏼
We haven't had the privilege of riding the MT 10 just yet so we can't really comment on it however, each person is different especially where ergonomics are concerned. If that's the bike that best suits you, then 100% go for it!!

Sounds like you are using the bike exactly as it was intended (which makes it perfect 👌)! Enjoy it and keep the rubber side down 👊
How many kms on average did you get per tank? Do you have to fill up as soon as the light goes on?
Thinking of one, coming from a KTM SDR

What a brilliant no nonsense review. The best motorcycle review I have seen to date. Thank you. 👍👌👊
Thanks so much!! 😁

Definitely commands respect, you're absolutely right! Cheers and thanks for watching 🤙

We'd love to get our hands on the 2023 model but unfortunately supply is limited here in SA. Thanks for watching nevertheless! 👍

No worries! Our tallest rider Ben certainly understands your pains. Thanks for watching!
This is excellent content! Love it!
Thank you so much! 🙏
That was an excellent review and I 've watched several for this bike.
We're very glad you enjoyed it 😁 And also, thanks for watching!
Absolutely informative review! Thank you for your work!
You are most welcome! Thanks so much for watching.
Great review 👌
Thanks!!!
Glad you liked it! 😁
For the money, I think cruise is a must. I mean it should be versatile, and it’s not.
We have to agree. Other bikes that compete directly with the Streetfighter have cruise control so it's a bit of a miss step in our opinion.
And heated grips, it is an option but for the price should be inclusive, Cruise would be lovely as it like a V-twin as you De accelerate you virtually stop, you never get chance to rest your right grip 👍🏼
😂😂😂😂
@@MrG1969Xwrong. You can set the engine braking from hard to very little. It’s one of the most programmable bikes on the market.
Crazy how sexi this bike is
Ducati styling is 👌
More of these bikes used than harley's
It’s does seem like a weird riding position
It's a pretty committed riding position shall we say. This bike is go time all the time!
@@MotoTribeTV With that being said I’m probably gonna go with the Yamaha MT 10 just for the riding position.
We haven't had the privilege of riding the MT 10 just yet so we can't really comment on it however, each person is different especially where ergonomics are concerned. If that's the bike that best suits you, then 100% go for it!!
If I wanted the fastest naked bike then yes the Ducati streetfighter V4 would be the best bet.
Why isn't there a fuel gauge?
The million dollar question... It seems to be a thing with Italian 'Race bikes for the road'.
It's an Italian thing. Neither my RSV4 nor the MV Brutale I owned before had a fuel gauge. You get used to it over time.
Everything in Italy is within walking distance apparently so running out of fuel isn't a concern 😂
Ducati have said “it’s down to the shape of the fuel tank as part of it goes under the seat” hence I’ve run out of petrol twice, on mine 😊
@@MrG1969X That's ducati for you, form over function 😄
i didnt know that porn exist on 2 wheels too
