Remember why they make electric bikes Not everyone can afford fuel on the new V4 like everyone could afford fuel 20years ago on the flagship inline 4... You can have an R6 inline 4 120HP The average rider doesn’t tune their suspension. 1500miles after a suspension tuner tunes the hydraulics it goes back to pogo stick mode which chews tyres and cannot get a pace faster. Unless you keep tuning. Then you can have Aprilia RS660 Parallel twin 98hp and is lighter than inline 4, Non adjustable damper suspension. If cannot tune the R6 fully adjustable suspension and having more power.... It will chew tyres x2 faster than the RS660 as they sit. Unless can use that suspension technology to what it’s designed for. Optimum tyre wear and pace....their is not much difference, to someone with non adjustable technology. All that technology....
Angle between cylinders and the crankshaft alignment can change the sound and power delivery. Much like cross plane vs flat plane for inline 4 cylinder engines.
This was classic Yamster! Well done, though it would have been worth noting the cylinder firing order among the three bikes whose exhaust note you compared. Good to have you back Yam.
They will never 100% give up the 90° V-Twin, at least I certainly hope not. The sound of that engine is so distinct and unforgettable it would be a crying shame for it to go away. Polyphony Digital the developer for the Grand Turismo series years ago made in my view one of the greatest games ever, Tourists Trophy for the PS2 which I still own (no ps2 though) and the sound of the 999 is so sweet. The game is great since it is one of the few ps2 titles that can display 1080 it still looks great today and the lineup of bikes is cool the Honda NR 750 is even a hidden bike. But back to Ducati, I pray they never kill their V-Twin...
Thanks Yam brother for this, as a Ducatista I appreciate this. Man, the Pani sounds so good & it has sexier lines than the Aprilia however I will say the Aprilia does sound a bit better, put the Arrow Pro Race full exhaust on the Pani & it sounds even better. I'm lucky to have owned 3 Ducs, currently have a Diavel 1260s & it's just a beast!
After I upgraded the exhaust, my 1203 cc V-twin 2008 Buell XB12X Ulysses sounds like a big fishing boat, and it still runs great to this day. None of the bikes here even come close!
Opinion: Aprilia V4 sounds best. The "big bang" or "Twin Pulse" firing order of the V4 just makes it sound like a weird V2, which I've never been a fan of anyway. Rolling down the 405 at 90mph the V2 exhaust note just sounds like a pissed-off Cub Cadet. The V4R is the only ducati that actually takes advantage of the desmo valves, even though 600cc bikes have hit 16,000 rpm on valve springs. It's been nothing but an additional cost for no gain. And you said "the engine was more reliable..." Show your work.
@@yammienoob Show how *what* is done. I stated an opinion, then facts on how anything Desmo has done, valve springs have done. Doesn't take a video to prove that.
Oh dear. Not all Ducati singles were Desmo. The lower end ones eg the 160 and 250 Monzas never were although the GT clubman racer versions were. (The 250 Monza was a surprisingly nice bike, just a tad too small for me.) And desmos do have valve return springs, they're there to prevent valve train lash which, given that the whole point of desmo technology was to get humongous valves to keep up with a high revving race engine, was an issue. Owner of many ducks here.
I love the the V4 engine in some of my bikes (Desmosedici w/gp exhaust and rsv4 factory)totally unique power delivery. The music they play is a beautiful Symphony!
For racing, the V-twin died in 1969 when the Honda inline-4 came out. Some racing classes allowed V-twins to have more ccs so they could be competitive for awhile, such as the Honda RC51. Now, Kawasaki has dominated World Superbike with an inline-4, with the Aprilia V4 sometimes winning. Completely stock, it seems most riders go faster around a track on an Aprilia V4, however it might be many more miles to get to a mechanic used to working on them, and Aprilias are probably less reliable than other brands.
How about steel trellis frames? That's just as much of a Ducati thing as L-twins. I love the Panangales, but the move to aluminum frames shook me even more than the move to a V4.
My understanding of the cause for desmo valve timing was that in the earlier days of high performance engines the valve springs would break due to inferior alloys. With the advent of superior alloys desmo timing has become obsolete.
Depending on the rev limiter. With classic valve springs a 1000 cc four cylinder engine can rev up to a little more than 15,000 rpm. For higher revs desmodromic or pneumatic valves are still the choice. But who knows what material science brings us in the future.
In the late 1960's my dad set up a 250 Ducati spring valve version that was raced against desmo versions in on a 1/4 drag course in Los Angeles. He smoked them and got a little plaque for his victory. Though the Italians definately mastered the art of the Desmo. They were so good they assisted Mercedes with there desmo's in the in the 1950's
They couldn’t get anymore out of two cylinders without more displacement and wsbk wouldn’t allow that. Trouble is the more you tune a vtwin the more it acts like a 4 cylinder thus you loose any advantage a vtwin gives you
I like the twin so I can claim some kind of similarity to all the Harley guys here in Indiana. Since we're both riding "V twins" they seem a little more accepting. Some of them even think it's pretty cool.
The sound comparisons were somewhat misleading since they all seemed to have aftermarket exhausts. My 2016 Aprilia RSV4 with a stock exhaust sounds very different from the one in the sound comparison (I prefer the stock sound). And my 2019 Panigale V4 Speciale has the Ducati-supplied Akropovic exhaust and also sounds very different (and better, IMHO).
Hi, its me again. I've been pointing out for a long time now (but not yet here) one reason why Ducatis pull the other bikes on the straights. Maybe you'll care enough to comment. Consider traditional engines with valve springs. 16 valves X average of 10,000 rpm X 45 minutes/race = about 7 million times per race that a valve spring gets compressed. If that doesn't rob horsepower then I don't know what does.
Kawasaki and Rae kicking ducatis butt for for 8 years in SBK is the reason the V4 came back! V twin just can’t compete! You can see the improvements in motogp and sbk since v4 came out
honda needs to bring back the rc and show them how a v4 should be. but I do like the hell out of the desmodromic valve actuation. and that rsv4 sounded awesome but need stock exhaust for fair comparison. and the new panigale v2 is almost an ideal bike
Noticed you started using video footage of an MV Agusta F3 at 5:50 in, and again at 8:16 in. But the F3 is an inline 3 cylinder, right? Curious if the MV footage was an accident, or you just ran out of Ducati footage you could use? I certainly kept listening closely to see if you were going to mention MV for some reason. Fun, informative vid though!
I'm kind of a V-twin purist. I love my 748, I love my Monster (they sound glorious). Panigale sucks, I owned a 959, and it's easily one of the worst sport bikes I've ever ridden on the street. It's probably excellent on the track, but everything about it is cramped, hot, uncomfortable, and cumbersome for road use, and it has the added benefit of attracting all kinds of unwanted attention.
FINALLY !! I tell people about the Desmo valve system,, they look at me like I have a third eye. Personally, I feel my 1299S is the Icon of the Twin, so the future is in the V4. I have never ridden the V4 , will shortly when my 2020 Street Fighter arrives ..

What do you think about the new Panigale V2 from a value standpoint? To me, it does seem like a lot of bike for the money. Ducati seems to be offering the best electronics, rider aids, these day. Thanks.
The new V4 is epic. The older V-twins are also epic. There are still people that think the 916 series bikes are "the best" so theres lots of weird people around.. Then theres people like me that love the 999 and newer bikes. (maybe because i own a 999,1098 and panigale, but hey, if your hooked your hooked. And ofcourse a scrambler DS :p )
The R6 has 150cc cylinders and tiny valves. It is a huge amount easier to control tiny valves for a 150cc cylinder than the much larger valves for a 600cc cylinder
@@adityajonathanmamahit2889 MotoGP bikes use pneumatic valves (except Ducati of course). Since they switched from classic valve springs to pneumatic ones they made a big step in terms of engine power.
Interesting Video but bare in mind theres significant differences between the V4 Engine used in the Desmosedici RR and the V4 used in the current Panigale range.
OK , new video for you. we know RR always means "Race REady". so what does GSXR, ZXR, CBR and so on and so on mean. is there anything behind all the cool letters or just cool sales sound?!

The vfr is my favourite V4 sound
I wonder if the desmodromic design (no valve springs) is more efficient and powerful than engines with valve springs? Or are they not very efficient?
Of course they have better efficiency. Why else would Ducati use such a complex system?
