You sneaky bastard, you've seen the comparison made by revzilla 😄. You are on point, for this kind of money this bike could be slower that a 17 years old Japanese motorcycle.
@@megapet777the v4s use to have 95nm spring at the rear for year 18-20 the bike was actually almost as quick as a proper sbk bike with race kit and slicks but for 21 and above ducati drop the spring rate to 85nm and also the front for better ride and friendlier handling the v4r on the other hand comes with a far stiffer set up because there no illusion what this bike is for.
Zack did say he was scared to give it the full beans so theres that, just gonna have to get used to all the settings and then grow into it is what i came away with from the revzilla comparisons…. Also heat shields are a must on all panigales.
I heard that this Panigale V4R has their own special engine oil, that could increase the HP. I wonder if I use the oil on another bike could increase the HP too 😆
There is a 0 weight oil that does increase HP. It reduces friction on the engine components. Idk how well it would do on a road race bike, I just know a lot of drag bikes use it.
@@sp00ky1969 Correct. It's a video for street enthusiasts to aspire to a race track life. I would bet that the vast majority of the video audience are street riders and an absolute minimum of people spend 1 to a dozen days on a track per year.
@@exothermal.sprocket I expect a reasonable number of V4R will be used on track but the vast majority will not be. That’s perfectly ok of course. I got the SP2 and very quickly found that it only really made sense on track, so I got something older and much slower for having fun on the road. When riding on the road there’s a lot to be said for the old saying that it’s more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow.
@@sp00ky1969 Yes exactly. But as usual, the F1 equivalent in the motorcycle world gets all the press essentially, and the usable machines that no one reaches the limit of capability get mostly ignored. Haha
How can these be so special when they release a "new special panigale" every single year lol also lord its ugly, what happpend to bikes having rear ends that looks nice?
Being Italian AND such atmospheric performance, it will break and probably a few times over a couple of years. Awesome as it is, it's a no for me sorry, couldn't be doing with the hassle.
Twin underpipes are a must-have.
Send Chris out on the new Triumph 400's hahaha!
I didn't even in know triumph made a 400!

Is this why he’s never on the sports stuff anymore? 🤔

But is it faster around a track than a 17 year old GSX-R1000?

@@rhemyis I remember that comparison too. But there's no way that the V4R would be slower. I mean 230hp is just insane.
Of course it is 🙄

Was lucky enough to ride my mates ‘23 V4R he got a few weeks back.. what a crazy bike.. super light and super agile 🔥🔥
I heard that this Panigale V4R has their own special engine oil, that could increase the HP. I wonder if I use the oil on another bike could increase the HP too 😆
If so then imagine the price of service
It works!!!
Yes it can, but the bike must have dry clutch!

It will until the bearings give out.
Amazing bike!!! 👌🏽
240 POINT 5 with the race kit 😂
“This is the bike that’s based on the race bike”. It’s actually the opposite way around. 🙈
Most will end up with 'investors' and never get ridden...
At least this one’s been ridden! 😂

@@TIMHARTTT salam, its for sale at tristar kuwait , it has the full titanium Akra’ and map installed
I want it asap
From a street / road rider perspective, the way this V4 engine makes power, it sounds like a totally boring bike below 100 mph.
It’s really not designed for the street though…

the amount of ducati hater made me laugh...
I'd take a 998R over this any day. Good job on Bautista though, he seems on another planet.
Is there a lap video ? Too much talking
Do you understand the concept of a review????
MotoGP grid? Lots of ducs, but...
Opps............Sorry I will just wipe that.
WTH man... Is Chris just regulated to used bikes now!!!!
You're getting every ride...
P.S. - Chris would've rode it in the rain... just saying.
That's probably more on Ducati's part.
Sorry Ducati wouldn’t allow us to ride in the rain
@@Chad76Media I figured, I just feel bad for Chris at this point. He's riding 20 year old Hondas...
@@ori2425 can't tell if joking but the bikes Chris rides are amazing
@redline9221 It's all in good fun, but I still believe Chris wouldn't mind getting on a train to Italy to ride some new motorcycles again.
240hp to rear wheel? BULL$HIT !!
How can these be so special when they release a "new special panigale" every single year lol
also lord its ugly, what happpend to bikes having rear ends that looks nice?
They don’t release an R every year.
Wow, this sure was a waste of time
I would happily take a previous model R as this thing looks hideous. 998r or 1098r thanks
That's sucks lol. Boring
It’s ugly, disproportionate and missing a rear end
Someone said it!
yes especially the rear (apart from the beautiful rims) just looks ungodly cheap
It's so damn beutiful ❤️
Me or the bike
@@Chad76Media yes
Someone is mad bcs he cant afford it

I tend to believe you rather that all the journalists that say Italian bikes are no longer than unreliable these days.
