- Hey Everyone!
It's time to ride the BEAST.
I was invited to a demo day to ride around on the Streetfighter V4S which is a bike that after riding it, I could definitely see me owning one - although.. riding though sleepy villages with this exhaust did make me wince a little!! haha!
Hopefully, I'll get to sample this bike for a longer period of time in the future!
Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one. Ride safe and have fun! 😊

Sold mine after 3.5 years of faultless ownership. Now have a street triple 765 RS moto 2. No regrets the 765 is just so much better as a road bike. The streetfighter huge fun in small doses but just too serious & overkill for the road. Remember the first time i gunned it in full power mode, jees you think your up there revs wise but then realise you still have 4-5000 to go. Mind blowingly quick
Selling my Moto2 to get one 😅 After 4 Street Triples, it’s time for a change.
Hey! I’m “an old person” and I love those intake and exhaust notes 😊 For me, that beautiful engine alone is well worth the price of entry. And, for discerning buyers, the SP versions are pure bargains, once you begin adding up the values of the components. As for the naysayers, you don’t drive a 911 at ten tenths on the road, but that doesn’t diminish your appreciation of the engine and overall design.
Haha sorry, when I said old... I pictured zimner frames, and hearing aids that would crackle like heck with this thing flying past 🙈🤣
No offense taken. I thoroughly enjoy zipping by (some) youngsters on track, and am getting ready for a ride from central California to the Arctic Ocean in the Northwest Territories. Riding keeps you young 👍
10000%
Thanks for saying it for me 😅
The SP truly is an epic value for what you get.
What an exhaust note and induction noise....worth every penny 🫶👌🥰
Danngggg Kate riding those dream bikes. Good on ya. You deserve it!
Thank you so much!!
Nice bike you and lilly setting up on top of missiles hold on blast off lol
Well done Kate. Incredible machine. Picking up the v4 myself this year. Base model. Noticed no difference between it and the S. maybe if you’re going from track to road it makes sense. 3 kg weight not going to be noticed on the road unless you’re reckless 🏍️ 💨
Great review Kate! I've got the SP2 and its an absolute riot of a motorcycle. With full exhaust and tune it's a force to be reckoned with. I'm always blown away at how easy it is to ride, how comfortable it is, and the fact that it now rev's to 15,500 is just bananas.
Great review Kate
Lovely bike! Thanks for the review, Kate!
Thank you! 😊
They are beautiful looking fantastic sounding bikes. I would love one but may loose my licence in a day a hooligans bike. You don't 208 bhp but it's nice to use the power. Another good review 😊
Yesss! ❤
Let's go Kate!!💪💪
Another awesome vlog Kate... thank you 👌
No, thank you John! 🙏
That bike with an aftermarket exhaust is gonna be lethal sounding.
Omg, I dread to think how many car alarms it'd set off 🤣
@@UsernameKate 😂
Long time sub, so jealous! Lucky lady.
I can't get over the bolt placement on the lower fairing. "C'ucati"
Now I can't unsee it thanks!! XD
Most beautiful bike of history ❤❤
31 grand, no worries I'll have two. A racing bike for the road isn't on my list now and never has been, but if its your thing and you've got deep pockets, good on yer.
I loved the Italian music in the background of your intro, a real attention to detail. Hope to see you and Mike at ABR.
Haha I juts thought it was fitting 🤣 Mike isn't going but if you see me, please say Hi, be nice to have a chat 😁
All I can say us WOW 😮
An impressive Superbike! I wish I still were your age though I probably would not have driven that responsible. A fully modern "all in bike". Fun to watch, but not within my budget. I personally prefer simpler technology and less horsepower. And yes, I AM old and grumpy! Almost all the time 😅.
Great video Kate, and I appreciate seeing reviews also of bikes beyond my budget and ability. Thanks! 👍
Dear Kate, I you are still trying to throw your leg over and across the bike to mount it, as a smaller person this is what you should do. 1. Put the bike in first gear so the bike cant roll. 2. Stand on the left foot peg with left foot and hold the handlebars including front brake lever for extra confidence 3 Now lift right leg over the bike a bit like getting on a horse 4 stabilize the bike and put into neutral 5 off you go. Hope that helps shorter riders too.👍
I prefer the karate kick with added sound effects 🤸♀️
@@UsernameKate 😂😂
You can 'pick' the bike up easier, by turning the handlebars all the way to the right.
Great video kate nothing is to big for you to handle or hight wise you go girl❤
another great review
Thanks dude 😊😊😊
Very nice bike ❤
Love your videos, real enthusiasm that just gets the blood pumping.
Your last one got me to buy the Panagali V2, now this one 😮
I already have the 747, 999, Monster 1200 stripe and the 899 pani, what’s my wife going to say 😂😂😂
Great Vid Kate The Duke looks Stunning 200 odd Break on the Roads, maybe to much But with all the Electronics to lean on it'll Poss do its job But I think most people could never use all that power But it's a, Stunning piece of Kit kepp up the Amazing work your doing Kate Ride safe take care
Thanks 😊👍
Awesome video! Beautiful bike for sure! I bet that was a hoot to ride? You looked great on it! Best!
So much fun Creed!!!
I could tell by your smile. And the sound!! Well done Kate! Best!
Hey Kate how are you doing today looking forward to seeing this in a bit nothing beats seeing you on a sportsbike wearing your leathers and swanky helmet and dark visor ride safe lovely I've got my own pad now 😂
Nice one Stevie!! Good going!
@@UsernameKate you too looking forward to seeing more vlogs with lily duke of blonde maybe a trackday ride safe
What a bike! I stabbed the like button!
I have a 2021 since new, about 10k miles on it so far. It's a gem! But...I do find myself riding my new Hypermono more. Less is more as they say, and lately I'm agreeing.
Me want! I also would like the Diavel V4 as well. And while you're there grab me a Panagale V4 too...
Something I’ve never wanted , obviously some crave for something like this , all that money they’ve ploughed into it’s design and they still put straight tyre valves 😮 and that silencer box it’s appalling looking ,
I’ll give it that it sounds nice , 😊
I watched this and the V2 video you did riding round at a snails pace in a group. Then I watched your latest video on the TT course on the new CBR. Now that's how you test a bike. You surely had a million times more fun on that bike on those roads and it costs half as much. Can you not do all your reviews on the isle of man or move there maybe so we don't have to watch you doing less than 70 on bikes that do 170! 😂😂
Lovely!
The easiest way for the government to borrow your license for about a year 😂
Looks like a good day out with great company!
🫣🫣🫣
hi there seeing you at 5.4 you could easily tiptoe this beast. i am 5 foot 8 you gave me a confidence.
Absolutely beautiful bike and ergos feel soo comfy. If only they did a 600cc version also I believe triumph use the same ohlins suspension minus the electronics same for the brembo brakes
Don like the sound and the wings✊🔥love everything else😎Tuono sounds mean like a real V4🤙
Tuonos and RSV4s sound like scolded jaguars (the animals not the cars 🤣)
@@UsernameKate 😂yes they do 🔥Great review by the way..
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you for this review,shame you were a bit restricted in opening her up by the other slower riders out in front, I love my very basic mk1 Moto Guzzi racer which is a tractor compared to this but the V4’s my dream bike way outside my budget.
I just roll with the punches and be grateful 😊
I must say I want one but the finances dictate that I shouldn't. On ya Kate.
I was waiting for this. Finally a review on my next bike. Hell yeah🎉. If possible can you compare it with the m1000r(i know it is too much to ask)?
Ah, linnen drying racks at the front. Just what a non faired streetlighter needs. Your enthusiasm is however as enticing as always. “Rrrrrr” indeed. 😎🤣
Have a ST4s with maybe half the power, just cannot comprehend how 200 bhp and all that complexity can enhance the simple pleasures of riding a motorcycle.
But strangers down the pub will think you are cool
@@alexpryce555 In my part of Yorkshire with this weather you will not need a Ducati to be cool.
Oh come on. You don't think riding a 200hp motorcycle flat out isn't the epitome of a thrill ride? Like you really can't see the appeal of that?
@@chorseundgrdyou won't be doing that on British roads, so what's the point (plus it just increases the danger aspect incredibly to you and all other road users ) You'll lose your licence pretty bloody fast, almost as fast as the bike goes....
@@kentishmale1969 Leave it up to you luddites and we'd all be riding 40hp carbuerated bikes until the end of time. I hope you get a little badge from the local police every year for being such a good boy and never breaking the law.
Talking about excesses: I Just stumbled over a test of a Mercedes Coupe in which the exhaust note is picked up by a microphone and then amplified over the internal sound system. Ideal for the ultimate egotrip(st)er. What that has to do with Ducati? Well, my guess is that Ducati will be the first to put such a rediculous gadget in a motorcycle. However! Come to think of it! It would be better for my throat AND keep me from fogging up the visor. “Vroooom!”
If I were to buy one, I'd get the V4 with the gun metal forks and add the fuel gauge and cruise control options (lol).
Kate, since you rode both, what would you choose between M1000R Competition and Streetfighter V4S? Stay safe.❤
I get the feeling you wanted to rip that Ducati regardless of where you were
😂😊😂
8:36 Put Lilly on the Panigale and we have a Matrix re-enachtment of Trinity on the Ducati
I’ve got a V4 2014 VFR800 with road legal SC Project can. It makes that Duke sound like a sewing machine.
I got to ride one of these the other day, I absolutely adore the engine and seating position. But it's just obscenely expensive. I can't afford the bike, let alone the parts and maintenance. (Plus, $20k+ and no gas gauge or cruise control??????)
Ok ☕🌹 Kate
Thanks Chema!!
Check out One Wheel up for an obscene sounding exhaust on one of these
7:20 😂
What was the highest gear you got into? Grazie.
Probably 6 all though all the gears before it would have been heavily underutilised on the road 🤣
@@UsernameKate interesting, never got out of 3rd myself so got the v2s MS.
@Usernamekate You can countersteer with the outside hand by pulling the bar. Same thing as pushing the inside bar obvs. Not sure why you said that
OK, clearly no counter steering (from me) because I don't counter steer by the method you suggested and just wanted to highlight the weighted peg. I find pulling the bar in on the different side to where your wanting to go feels odd as heck 🤣
@UsernameKate Thanks for the reply. I hope it didn't come across rude. I agree, it does feel weird at first, but it's a good technique to learn to use, as it gives you more options, on the off chance you aren't able to use a hand for some reason. I'm a huge fan of your content. Please keep up the excellent work you do 👍
Appreciate you! 🙏
Good day! I wonder if you have a few minutes? I'd like to share with you the crowning glory and unmatched beauty that is the aprilia 65 degree v4 motor. Whether you take it in its mild mannered, road going Tuono form or it's berserk track carving RSV4 form, it will tickle your soul in a way that this red Italian loudly tries to, but falls short of. Just, like, don't talk to Ruby about it much, ok? She has, what we like to call, RSV4 trauma from the pesky Italian devils haunting her bike 😅😅
Got to take your hat of to Ducati from being on there arse struggling to keep in business to manufacturing this bad lad . Get one and go Isle of Man for the week see what it will do over the mountain you should be able to use more than half throttle . 😊
Oh that would be insane!!!!
Hold on now is that rust over the calipers???? @1:59
What roads are these? Please 😊
They are the roads near Diddly Squat farm 🚜
Not to be gay on main but I agree Kate, she do be looking cool on that V2 :3
Bonkers, I’m pleased these things exist but really struggle to think where on our roads you can use 50% of its abilities. Wonderful things though, this or the significantly cheaper Aprilia V4 Tuono??
When will you express your feelings about h2?
You think that Streetfighter is amazing...have Lamb Chops let ya take his tuned H2 out for a spin...just make sure you're on a long straight and no cops....hang on. 🙂
Expensive but lots of people spend as much or more on a Harley Davidson. Not that there's anything wrong with an H-D
What is that back ground music and the voice that's making me fall asleep 😴
My insomnia audio books are a huge hit!
You know you prefer the KTM Superduke R 😉
Eww
They always sound broken till they get moving
Same as a 911 gt3, once moving glorious
i have an ex like that
Lilly oh Lilly , I won`t dilly , or dally b,cus I actually prefer Sally
Sorry ..I thought you said £31,295 ... And we compare this .. or i ..too a Rocket R.. Pure Ducati Brand that does not warrant the cost.
😅 awesome motorcycle but I prefer the Vtwin...
Shame the dealer has adopted the American style road test where you travel in convoy. Spoils the fun!
Hi Kate be nice to get one for long term test I really hope you can and even one for Mike just flutter those eyelashes and pout those lips you might get one for six months😂I think be better if just you on your own and record a long video about it I love the look and sound of it but I’m to short and fat for that I think anyway take care ride safe bye for now
A great bike but a servicing nightmare and could be possibly plagued with electronic gremlins after a few years and 20,000 miles.
6:23 min. No you can’t see the dash properly, hon. Only if you look around the boggle eyed selfy mirror. 🤣
Obscene indeed. Didn’t you recently claim 2 cylinders are more then enough? 🤣
Via the mic it sounds like an old sewing machine, I'm sure it's better in real life. Have to say it is one ugly bike, beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder!. In any case a great video and review Kate, good work.
Whoaaa you think its ugly? 🥹🥹 what's a pretty bike to you? 😊
Stop picking on us old folks we ain’t grumpy all the time.
What a machine. I guess if you've got the money, why wouldn't you, but probably wasted on most people if not tracked 🤔
Like anything over 150hp on the road being very honest. 99% of riders won’t use 60%.
But, choices 🤷♂️
We love a good choice of obnoxious vehicles in an ever increasing climate goblin landscape 🤣
A bit of a stretch to call dragging half of the cylinders around for naught being economical. Let’s face it: These machines are decadence on wheels. Did I already mention my ancient Pantah before? It doesn’t need such tricks to keep it from spontaneously lying down on Main Street…. 😁
👍🤪🏳️🌈
🙌🙌🙌
It's crazy money, who is affording these in the real world!!!????
People that need to teach me their ways 🤣🥹
@@UsernameKate Ha fair, please make a video after you've learnt. But surely you don't need to, you get to ride all the awesome stuff for your job.
Haha I'm not cash rich but experience rich at this point! Zero complaints ofcourse!!
204 hp why,why ?
Because you can? 😂
Why not? I wouldn’t buy one but I’m glad it exists.
£31k and free urine sample pots on your handlebars. Come on….
Unless the engineers become genius enough to put cruise control and an actual working gas gauge on, I'll keep my money to myself...lol...hell, if they added both items to this bike, I would sell my bmw M1000R and get this one....haha...lol..
Dustbin exhaust. V unpleasant.
Personally, as amazing and awesome as these bikes are.....
They are not for the road! (IMO)
You can't 'realistically' use the power, not even a percentage of it, on a public road
without falling foul of the local constabulary!
I've also 'heard', but have no evidence of......🤔 (read somewhere, or heard on TH-cam)
That many UK tracks, will not let you run a V4 streetfighter/panigale, in Full Power Mode
due to noise levels?! Even on a stock exhaust! 😟
You have to run them in Rain Mode?! 🤔
Amazing and awesome bikes, a marvel of modern engineering 😁
.....and VERY expensive!
For me, even though I'd never use anywhere near, it's full potential, the V2 is a better choice.
Grumps
It's a bit like buying a Ferrari or a Lambo, you can enjoy the quality and finesse of its construction but you can't really enjoy its performance unless you find a very quiet part of the country or hire a track. If you're loaded you can have this as a toy and something more practical to tour on, ride through the winter, etc. If you can only afford one bike it's ridiculous.
Next in all mainstream media: What will the government do to keep gangs of petite machos from scaring the elderly?! 🤣
Wow. More Women on Bikes please.✌✌✌✌✌
I understand that people like to own this sort of thing for the pleasure of ownership, track days etc.. but from my point of view, it's just pointless. If you've got to switch half the engine off to keep it civilised in the kind of riding that most of us do most of the time, then the engine's twice as big as it needs to be. The few times I've ridden big, powerful bikes like this, my overwhelming impression was of frustration, from constantly reining it in, holding it back, and tip-toeing around in 50% of the throttle range in order to not die in real-world traffic conditions. There's just so much traffic on the roads these days that even on country lanes there's a 90% chance you'll spend more time waiting to overtake a dozy car driver than you will wringing the bike's neck. I'd rather have a smaller bike and feel like I'm giving it a good workout. Just my two-penn'th...
But you won’t get the looks the prestige the incredible feeling etc etc etc.
Kind of like why did my dad buy a 2litre turbo diesel car?? He could have bought a 1litre ignis, pocketed 17grand, spent less on fuel /insurance/road tax AND still be able to go WAAAYYY over the speed limit 🤷♂️
@@markholmes5695 It looks bloody awful, prestige is just another word for vanity, and I've already described the feelings I get riding bikes of this ilk. If I had this kind of money to spend on a bike it'd be going BMW GS-wards so fast it's feet wouldn't touch the floor.
I'd buy an RE 350 Classic over this any day of the week.
proper mosnter of a poster bike. too silly for the road realistically and expensive
The unobtanium bikes, where the only other thing not quantifiable other than the horsepower is the price.
To much performance capability with no wind protection.
It is ugly though
Orgasm
