Don't forget Chris, he looks fit, lost some pounds.. hope all is well with him.. he was battling some demons... FINALLY the Panigale v4 received the missing part of the chassis that kept it from all out dominance in WSBK, heck any open superbike championship. EVERY TEAM will want one in 2025
like every other manufacturer. Kawasaki is the only company to invest in tech that is outside of racing. If any manufacturer gets a congrats it’s them. And they didn’t make an Adv bike like Harley and Ducati!
No denying it’s a remarkable thing…. Whatever your opinions are on styling/tech etc. embrace the fact it even exists. Bloody love you guys. Big man hugs.
Hugs to Chris Eades.. who appears very happy content fit.. hope all is well.. no hugs form Al, I think he's a pig, my wife finds his 'antics' disgusting LOL
This may be the best bike launch video I've seen in years. So well put together and passionately narrated. I almost felt onboard at times. Great bike - better TH-cam post. Nice work Chris
As someone who owns an 899 and dgaf about the swingarm if it means a better ride, I think this review has convinced me to pull the trigger on this and finally upgrade. Side-note: the filming and editing, and Chris' charm, all absolute class.
Will hopefully have mine by 1st March, ready for Spring. At my age, may well be my last superbike before I hang up the leathers in preference for textiles and an Adventure bike, but having had an unbroken stream of Ducati superbikes since my first in 2001 (a 996), hopefully I'm gonna go out in style!
I have been waiting for what seems like an ETERNITY since the launch of this bike to see journalist reviews of the platform. I'm so glad you guys are first and I can't wait to own this bike. It is truly groundbreaking!
From green-laning Gixxers, fueled by tactical Double Decker consumption, to fistbumping Neevsey as you pin the latest Bolognan ferret to the track, Baron von G sir, you are an inspiration. Also worth noting that 44teeth's video production is often better than the slop they dish out on the old 1984 tubes these days.
Cracking job Chris - the guys at Crescent were really singing your praises about how well you rode on track, think you were doing yourself a disservice in a previous video, when you alluded to not making use of your designated tech 👍
The engine has a nice sound. Good job of riding this super bike. Once it all sinks in what you did. Going to be hearing some good comments . Thanks Ducati for inviting 44 teeth , and sharing this launch. Amazing footage. Bike looks sooo special .
Big Congrats!!! Best review from the track launch test day I've seen! I had one of the first V4S in the UK in 2018 and that was awesome but can't wait to get my hands on this new version in a couple of weeks time. Luckily I now live in Colombia so weather won't be a problem........
Amazing to see how fast you got since you started doing these videos. Just goes to show. It’s time on the bike that matters to build confidence. Bike sounds amazing and 220hp is unbelievable.
Great video, bike looks amazing. When I started riding in the late 80's I could not imagined in my wildest dreams a road bike like this...incredible! For what it's worth I really like the look of the new swingarm.
Absolutely mega video,great test and finally a proper swingarm on a serious weapon like that,looks aside no bike i can recal has ever worked peoperly with a single sided swingarm for proper lap times,keep up the great work
What a review, bravo sir! Nice lap as well 👍 Great to see Ducati pushing whats achievable with this new model. It's shame that the price seems to be taking it out of the reach of most people. But that's progress for yah, right!
Damn! What a video! Chris did it again. But we should also talk about how he trashed that bike through this track. Oh my world. It was wobbling seriously and it was all over the place. Chris always says he is not a good rider, but I wouldn't aggree. I understand that, that the bike is much better, he has more confidence and feel, but just wow. Amazing Chris stylish video, very well built, well paced and that action! It is just superB! Thanks for making this happen. Cheers! ❤🍻
That is a bloody pretty bike. The high tail and low nose is such a classic profile, but Ducati have added their own take on it in the way only the Italians can. Beautiful.
Great job Chris you can really tell you had an absolute blast out there and it was a special day for you. Bike looks gorgeous in my opinion! I’d love to hear Statham’s thoughts when he gets to ride it
Great video guys. I wish I knew how good ducati were 30 years ago. I've got the streetfighter 848 2014 and that's enough for me now all of a sudden I'm 62 years young 😂😂😂😂😂
I bought my first Ducati on my 47th birthday. I still have it - an ST4S 996 Sport Tourer and i just turned 65. I often wonder if it was the right bike, then I ride it and think yeah this is good !!
I know I’m alone here but the new styling including the swingarm looks gorgeous, way better than the old model imo. The old one looks like the dog wearing the daredevil mask meme. Look it up lmfao it’s spot on. I also know I’m alone on the swingarm, but it always looked off to me, it looks so much more solid and purposeful with the double sided swingarm, I love it. I’ve only like the single sided on the 916 and the old Honda RC models. Excellent video, can’t wait to get my hands on one.
Great video as always lads. I was trying to figure out who was doing it during the intro, i was convinced it was Fagan when i saw the wheelie… then Chris showed up! Go on Perkins 💪
Great video Chris your face when you got off the bike said so much as well as all the technical details and personally I think it’s a lovely looking bike and review 👍👍
actually I was never a fan of ducatis just because of their reliability but damn that thing looks hottt and it seems to ride veryyyy well. And that was the first bike review I ve watched the whole way through, your riding is really clean! damn🤯
I hated it at first. It's growing on me honestly. But the single sided swing arm was a sexy sexy thing, it will always look better. Still a sexy italian milf
People suffer from “ Oh no they changed it” shock. When this bike is replaced they will say the same about “how beautiful” this one was. I personally think its looks better than the outgoing Gen.
Production quality is wow good (rubbish background music aside). Lovely bike, well earned. I want one, but I won’t be buying one at £30k unfortunately. I think that’s how it should be. Ducati are on it right now. What a business.
Holy moly, Ducati really look after the journos but that said, you really deserve it. I adore your content and you fellas. I hope Boothy is doing okay - he's been missed.
You’ve become the lead in moto journalism. The mcn video was so weak and skippable.. used to be my fav. You’re next level in content and enjoyability to watch. Great filming and music too.
One of the best and most professional reviews I ever saw - even opening up room for electronic acceptance … thanks Ps.: the children of your children will still show their children this outstanding intro ( inspires me to book the next track day 😁)
FairPlay Chris mate…that’s some confidence in red lining that absolute weapon in real life…I would probably ride that on a game…and see you at the pearly gates in reality 😂🤷♂️
Hello Chris. Is it possible for you and Fagan. To do a video about how you ride? Like litteraly how you ride. How do you hang if and what your hand and foot position is in different corners and speed and where you put your weight. Like i really wanna know how you 2 differ in technique. I really like your riding style. We amhave the same height and posture and i always feel like an elephant riding a childs bike. Its hard to figuren out how to move on a bike and where i keep the pressure on the bike whole breaking and cornering. When i see you on a bike you look stick and stylish. You dont look like a big dude on a mini bike. But you look like a racer and i really like your style. No Diddy Gr Matthew
Question is, you’ve done a shit ton of miles on the r1 of yours, would you instantly be faster on the Ducati even with the personal experience of your own bike?
Panigale V4S 2025 самый лучший! 👍 Но электронное управление это "Семёрка Мечей" & "Паж Мечей", то есть уязвимость.🥷 Поэтому нужна аналоговая, механическая альтернатива управления мотоциклом 🛡️
That was the intro that this bike deserves, beautiful 🤩
It's definitely prettier in motion than in a still shot.
Don't forget Chris, he looks fit, lost some pounds.. hope all is well with him.. he was battling some demons... FINALLY the Panigale v4 received the missing part of the chassis that kept it from all out dominance in WSBK, heck any open superbike championship. EVERY TEAM will want one in 2025
it needs more engine sounds instead of music though. music was cool but 50% engine noise would be better
Definitely better than the usual head banging rap crap that is so prevalent today
Music was horrible
I don’t think I’ll ever have the cash for something like this but you know what I’m really pleased that it exists and others can enjoy it!
Never say never. Your destined for greatness. I believe in you!
If someone gave me a supercar, Id sell it and buy this bike... I might even try to ride it half as fast as its capable of!
Honestly it's amazing that they're still making them. God bless the Italians.
like every other manufacturer. Kawasaki is the only company to invest in tech that is outside of racing. If any manufacturer gets a congrats it’s them. And they didn’t make an Adv bike like Harley and Ducati!

May I ask what you do for work?
I'm always curious how on earth people can afford these things 😅
@@Spikycloud I work in risk & compliance for a multinational and have done so for over 15 years.
With or without rider aids seeing how you’ve improved over the years on track is impressive Chris, well done mate 🤙.
He's not got rider aids - that's just a nasty rumour... 😂
@@freemenofengland2880 I enjoyed this
This SHOULD be FASTER then Zack & Ari’s legendary old 2005 GSXR 1000! Right? 😂

Best video quality you have ever done on one of the most beautiful bikes out there
That intro was PERFECT for this. What a bike.

I can't unsee that now
@@Alien937does your OCD make you say everything twice?
He was just about to click "center justify" in the CAD program, but then the boss wanted to ask him a question, then they went out to lunch.
If your OCD was so focused why didn’t you see “brembo” instead of “Brembo”??
That's the pinnacle of motorcycle engineering and motorcycle evaluation ❤

Stunning bike and stunning vlog. To see you guys get on a 200 plus horsepower bike and properly ride it is a real treat. Excellent.
Great video, bike looks amazing. When I started riding in the late 80's I could not imagined in my wildest dreams a road bike like this...incredible! For what it's worth I really like the look of the new swingarm.
Loved this Chris!! Your riding is on ANOTHER LEVEL!!
It’s amazing what a set of black wings do to the front! Love it!

Great vid. Never seen Chris so happy either. Dream day
fair play for getting through that without swearing Perkins! Wonderful video!

In love with it, it's such a finely crafted machine. I even like the design of the swing arm even if I prefer the look of single sided ones
Hi Chris, opening sequence was top draw….the best review I’ve seen on this bike..well done
That is a bloody pretty bike. The high tail and low nose is such a classic profile, but Ducati have added their own take on it in the way only the Italians can. Beautiful.
Actually, I’m gonna say it, I LOVE the new swing arm. Best looking Panegale yet. Impressive riding Chris, you underestimate yourself
Wow. What a beautiful intro. Best video I've seen on this bike so far. Does it justice
Great job Chris you can really tell you had an absolute blast out there and it was a special day for you. Bike looks gorgeous in my opinion! I’d love to hear Statham’s thoughts when he gets to ride it
Great video guys. I wish I knew how good ducati were 30 years ago. I've got the streetfighter 848 2014 and that's enough for me now all of a sudden I'm 62 years young 😂😂😂😂😂

Great video. Great bike. Just got myself a 1299 panigale so I'm a bit behind the times..will have a look in 5 years .. forza ducati
Review was oddly relaxing given the savage nature of some of those turns. Best review of any bike I’ve seen in a while. Cheers.
That is some bike, it looks closer to the motogp bike now and that is doing rather well - good job Chris 👍🏻😎
Im not into sportsbikes at all, but that is a stunning machine, no denying that
That there is all the therapy a man needs. And I’m digging that swingarm.
I know I’m alone here but the new styling including the swingarm looks gorgeous, way better than the old model imo. The old one looks like the dog wearing the daredevil mask meme.

Ms Perkins, those were some handy laps! Congratulations.
actually I was never a fan of ducatis just because of their reliability but damn that thing looks hottt and it seems to ride veryyyy well.
And that was the first bike review I ve watched the whole way through, your riding is really clean! damn🤯
You killed it…best video yet. What a toy. Nice to have your own data acquisition Engineer for the day.
Fantastic presentation. And wow...that track really does look tough. You managed it well!
Great vid Chris. That was a committed lap. Well done!
It honestly looks so good, I don’t understand the hate with its appearance.
I hated it at first. It's growing on me honestly. But the single sided swing arm was a sexy sexy thing, it will always look better.
Still a sexy italian milf
Maybe because people like different things? 🤷🏻♂️
The only thing is that front thing
People suffer from “ Oh no they changed it” shock. When this bike is replaced they will say the same about “how beautiful” this one was. I personally think its looks better than the outgoing Gen.
The new double swingarm is a masterpiece. Amazing machine.
No one does it better than you guys. That intro was perfect man
Great video Chris. Sadly I’ll never own one but I loved the production and information. What a beautiful machine 🤌🏻
Production quality is wow good (rubbish background music aside).
Lovely bike, well earned. I want one, but I won’t be buying one at £30k unfortunately. I think that’s how it should be.
Ducati are on it right now. What a business.
The production value of ur videos is next level guys 👌🏽👊🏻
All is so good and well summed up but G - so great to see you are pushing 110 pct. which means confidence in the bike. Splendid.
Awesome review and a well deserved opportunity to ride such an amazing bike,

Very impressive,well done Chris.
44 teeth bringing the production values that the V4S deserves, well done lads! On a side note what shades are you wearing Baron? They are decent!
I saw a few brand new 2025 Panigale V4's last week at the factory of Ducati. I am actually impressed by the styling and do really like the new one!
When it first was revealed I really disliked how it looked, but now, it has grown a lot on me
Great review! Thanks and keep them coming.
Love the intro of this vid. Very nice shots of the bike!👌
Thoroughly enjoyable and informative review, thank you Mr Baron 👍
Looks absolutely stunning... Chris would it pass noise on a UK circuit?? Or is it still a thunderous beast...
Should do as its legal for road use. Blame the tracks lol
That dash is incredible!
Best you’ve ever looked on a bike… worth the trip just for the video clips😅 🎉
Well done chaps, best you've ever done. Fantastic 🎉
Honestly, I'm just chuffed to see Baron having fun.
