Ducati Panigale V4S (2020) REVIEW | Bennetts BikeSocial

#Ducati #PanigaleV4 #Review

Updated for 2020, we put the gorgeous new Ducati Panigale V4S through its paces at the press launch at Bahrain's International F1 Circuit.

Aero, electronics, chassis and geometry changes make the bike easier to ride while still retaining that awesome, savage and highly rewarding ride. Is the Ducati sports bike still up there with the very best including BMW's S1000RR and the Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory?

Join Bennetts BikeSocial's Michael Mann as he describes the bike in detail and heads out for a ride on the 3.36-mile track.

The 25% of superbike sales isn't just for the V4. It's for the whole "Panigale" family. So that includes the 959 standard, 959 Corse, V4, V4S, V4R and V4 Speciale. Still impressive figures by Ducati though👌

So you ride new bikes on tracks and get away with calling it work?

The bat wings ruin the look .
The 2019 looks slimmer and nicer with out the bat wings.
Does the 2019 fairing fit the later model V4 2020 onwards ?

[michaeljkasnter]

The wings are easily removable, so why not set lap times with and without to see if there is a difference???

[Bedfordoak]

Would you be willing to do a comparison between the new blade sp version vs the v4s...now that they are the same price point

[fireblade_ninja]

Why has everyone gone and reviewed the 2020 v4s?! ...I can't find many reviews on the base model v4, which is more relevant for an average rider which will be the majority

[cpuuk]

Higher CofG means it will flick over quicker.

I love your reviews Michael, so friendly and down to earth. I wouldn't trade my Monster R for a P though !

I own this bike, 20 V4S and its the sex. Writing this after i literally just cleaned and lubed the chain. I ride it daily, run from the cops ALWAYS you need to be prepared for that or ride something else. Of course there is the track. Gobbles up tires and insurance is stupid and im 40 w/ great credit no accidents. Its twice the mo payment of my CBR1000RR. Talk about getting shafted on insurance. Be prepared to be burned ALL the time even at speed. The faster the hotter and more intense it gets. But they did fix it when you come to a stop it is great. The opposite of what it was. Mirrors suck, worthless. Why do i need them? Cause i ride in traffic. Sure i might be booking it at 190mph and yes i do that. But when traffic gets thick i do slow down im not stupid, and mirrors help cutting traffic up. I do agree its not as savage as the 18 and 19. Eh its still diabolical on the street and track. All its failure add to its character and i love it. It is the sex.

Easier to ride, for the less experience rider... Buy a V2... Its all we normal people ever need!

[cengizozbek]

Engine light was on.
Not very confidence inspiring.

For crying out loud, STOP using the word THRUST with regards to bikes or cars, thrust it what comes out a jet-engine and its measured in kN, that's Kilonewton, not Horse-power, Kw or Torque.

Nice bike though, but seriously, those wings do absolutely nothing for You except produce drag at high speed, its a joke and a gimmick.
