Ducati Streetfighter V4 Review, from an average rider

purchased this 2021 Ducati Streetfighter about a week an a half ago. these are my first impressions while covering some of the bikes specs . a walk around and ride review

[toomass]

Hi. Awesome video. I bought 22 Black SF V4S (brand new). Have 7k KM on it and now thinking of finally getting Termignoni exhaust and few other bits like better tail.

I will share my own experience if you don't mind.

1) Fuel light comes on around 135 KM. Mind due tank is 16L and after 10L light comes on. In theory should get around 190km but I am from Estonia so might be temperature related etc
2) Does not like RPMs. I mean the engine actually handles low RPMs well but with low RPMs there is chain slapping noise + the gearing is such that it is not traffic light to light bike
3) wind is absolutely insane on that thing
4) quick shift sometimes goes to false-neutral. But that's a Ducati thing :D (from what I have heard)

But on the positive side....
1) power is godlike.. probably more than 99% of us ever need.
2) handling is insanely good. I had privilege to ride Kawasaki ZH2 and there is no comparison. Yes ZH2 is more comfy on highway and supercharger noise is cool but in terms of cornering there is no comparison. ZH2 wants to wash off under you when you turn while Ducati turns INTO the corner. This thing wants to lean and this makes cornering much more enjoyable.
3) Electric suspension is awesome. Makes bike probably like 20% more comfi (questimation)
4) it has killer aesthetics. Every single person who you ride past will take a glance. Its not perhaps important for most but makes me feel good

And whilst 90% of the reviews bring out the cost of the bike then my 2 cents is this: its worth it. The build quality, power, handling, aesthetics .

And perhaps the most important thing. Every time I finish ride and I walk away from my bike... I look back and smile because I had good time.
Thanks for reading!

Just got my 2024. Coming from XDiavel. I wanted a less bulky, naked bike and this was the logical choice. I like the grunt and power in the mid range which the V2 lacked, not that the V2 isn’t a great bike also, but it needs more revs. I got the lower seat, less 20mm. Still comfy. Also got windscreen. Big difference. Love the V4! (Take those ugly stickers off.)

All V twin platforms are amazing from knuckle heads, Vstrom 650 and now this V4 here ❤️

GREAT VIDEO! You are the first person I have come across who has compared the Diavel and the Streetfighter. My last bike was a Victory Vegas 8 Ball that I put pipes and a Power Commander 5 and tune on and so I was thinking Diavel. But the Streetfighter just keeps talking to me. Anymore comparisons you can give for a guy who has never ridden anything but a power cruiser?

For that price with no fuel gauge...really??

Nice video helps me allot maby the streetfighter i go for next year 😊

I ran out of fuel on mine once at 220km, I literally had the engine cut out twice, the second time I was rolling upto the fuel bowser

[nickzimmerman]

Mine always says I never go over 35 mph

Congrats it's an amazing bike. Tuck your key fob into the space between the tank. Otherwise it will flop around in the wind and damage the paint.

Thanks for your informations, may i know how is the heat on this bike? How bad it gets in summer ?

[twistychaserNJ]

Did you ever adjust your suspension by a pro? If yes how’s the handling now?

Few minutes later I realized I'm not watching a review from a savage rider. lmao

I have a 2024 Diavel V4. Super heavy and not flickable. I have to slow way down on intersection turns. Did you notice the same thing? Any regrets getting the SF? I’m 5’7” so that will be an issue but not a dealbreaker. They have motorcycle boots for short guys.

Funny thing is I came from Diavel 1260 to a SF V2 and now considering switch to a SF V4 and find SF more comfortable.
