The red Ducati you present us in this video is not the 2023 model! The new model year got an updated tank shape, a two-color seat, black radiator covers, a new display unit, and a detachable clutch cover.
I've test ridden Streetfighter V4 back in 2020 when they first came out, including taking it up to it's top speed. I'll probably release the footage later. What really astonished me is the superb handling it has at any speeds, the ease of riding, and especially the unbelievable stability and maneuverability at high speeds, which I never encountered on any other motorcycles before (and I tested a lot of them). So, yeah, Streetfighter V4 is truly AMAZING bike in this sense. But at the same time it's extremely impractical, boring and uncomfortable (due to vibrations) to ride at sensible speeds, fuel thirsty because of the unreasonably high gearing, and very physically painful to ride at high speeds due to aerodynamic pressure pushing my helmet against my face. Therefore, my conclusion on Ducati Streetfighter V4: it is extremely cool and fun bike to take for a test ride for a couple of hours, but it's really not good and pointless bike to own and daily ride. And if you want a bike with almost the same level of handling, speed, and fun, but at the same time comfortable, practical, versatile, and awesome to ride almost everywhere - get a Multistrada V4 than. But that's for another story.
The streetfighter, multi and Daivel V4 all very different bikes and purpose. None are better than the other. Just pick the one that fits your passion best.
@@kj385, Multistrada V4 is MUCH better than both Streetfighter V4 and Diavel V4. More than that, Multistrada V4 is the only practical motorcycle out of this three - while other two are just two-wheeled toys really.
@@Rex_Payne That’s why for a practical sport tourer I got a the new Ktm super adventure S. Rode multi v4 several times. Great bike, but 30 mpg for touring is not practical. And I’m still going to add the streetfighter to the collection. 😁
Ducati: let's take the Panigale, remove lots of useful stuff from it, slap on a handlebar, reduce the power, and advertise it as a "track bike" for the street. Huh?!!!!!
This is not a bikers bike... Its a wealthy persons piece of garage glitter. Cleaned & polished twice as much as it would be ridden. Simply too expensive for its own good!
Very disappointed you didn't ride it a few laps with everything electronic switched to off. That would give a true picture of how 208hp is an ego stroking joke in a road bike even on the track let alone the road.
Lets also put 20 year old tyres on and leaded fuel in! Or maybe let's just accept modern technology and appreciate this 208hp weapon which is perfectly fine to ride on a public road.
@@Schleberger exactly what I said . Let’s let a computer limit the horsepower and torque so we can pretend we are enjoying 208 hp on the road . The fact you can turn everything off by design means the testing should have tried it that way . Why he didn’t is 208 hp on the track is only any use to a A grade racer on the road it’s a joke.
great review
Great review, impressive motorcycle!

How about Diavel v4?
@@markholmes5695, I haven't ridden Diavel V4 yet.

Lovely bike.
Does it have a fuel gauge yet, or is that technology not available?
It does! Rejoice!
this guy out here just blatantly lying. No it does not have a fuckn fuel gauge
Fuel light
Do you prefer this to KTM Superduke R?
Very nice but prices are just silly .
And buy a stinking Panigale if you're into race tracks. Why wouldn't you?
desmo ?

Magnificent machine. Hideous exhaust.
UGLee iT iS
There's always an aftermarket exhaust
Lol I work for ducati and im sure we'd be happy to sell the customer the $6000+ akropovic factory aftermarket system if they think its ugly
@@rustyspropagandanetwork7131And that's ugly too, lol.
Every. Single. OEM exhaust. Is hideous. Rip the trash off, throw the trash away.

2.13 on a standard bike gives you second fastest lap time ever on a stock bike cording to the track records. BZ to you.
