2021 Ducati Superleggera V4 | Hot Lap

Cycle World rips a lap aboard the limited-run Ducati Superleggera V4 at Laguna Seca with Road Test Editor Michael Gilbert at the controls. Hang on tight, a claimed 234 horsepower at 335 pounds dry weight makes one serious experience.

So what you're saying is this would be a great starter bike?

To save money, buy v4s, carbon wheels, superleggera wings, full exhaust and lose 20 lbs off your gut and magic, poor man's superleggera 🤣

the wheelie control is strong with this one

[seankadar]

How I would love to learn how to ride like that on a track.

[attilastarwar]

anyone have an exact time? seemed to be about 1:30

[FranOHagan]

Laguna Seca sound booth chicane? What chicane? Note Corkscrew flagger waiving the meatball. What meatball? Lol! BTW stop watch says about 1:32? Nice lap and I'm guessing Gilbert could take a few more seconds off. Not bad for a "street bike!"

[chronicmayne]

Ah yes just what you want coming out of a turn full throttle....cones in the track

[BrianEvansracer]

Hey Michael, which tires were you running? Wheelie control seems to be working VERY well or was that your right foot? Looks like they got you on sound; was this at the end of the day? A final flyer and then Black Flag! Did they give you hell after? Nice lap, thanks for sharing! :-)

[dpwracing]

He gets the meatball flag at 1:08 and 1:12! Laguna sound bs.

Good god, is the film sped up?! Man that's fast

[jaikanths]

Damn that's fast! Why is the display only showing the gears?

[HYPR]

Traffic Cone Chicane??? What traffic cone chicane?..lol straight thru

[suhdud]

Officer: Looks son, you know you cant ride a motogp bike on the streets!
Me: Officer sir, Its got a key!
Officer: Well nothing to see here. Off you go then.

[binduseby]

I would like to see onboard at Mugello with this bike

[kclimbing]

The amount of times I said to myself - ohh shit he's coming in too hot for that corner - then nope, it was fine. Man that bike is amazing. Wonder if they could have shaved off some extra weight by removing the 6th gear. Doesn't really seem like it's ever required :)

[aldrn]

Why does Ducati WSBK not using this bike for the championship!

[koolopscsm]

4 gear seems top for track.... whats top gear like OMG

[kritikimasti_gorgeous]

Imagine a accident in 300 km/anhour) 😮😂

[gmc]

what if he really needed to pay attention to a "black flag"!!
