Its the rear cylinder deactivation to help with the heat the engine gives off I had one the very first Panigale V4s's back in 2018. When it went into the dealers for a recall one of the updates was a map to deactivate the rear cylinder at lower speeds especially in town to help reduce the excessive heat issue. When I got it back it did help with the heat. After the first batch of V4s went onto the market Ducati introduced the rear cylinder deactivation from the middle of 2018. My 2020 V4 does run alot cooler than my 2018 V4. So that's what your experiencing it's running on the front two cylinders momentarily but only when your taking it easy at lower speeds. Although the naked V4 Street fighter shouldn't suffer with the build up of heat anywhere near as much as the faired V4. Keep up the good work great reviews as always.✔😁

Few things I've learned after 3 months of ownership.. 1) Too much plastic (Wife has twigged on to my accessory spending!) 2) No fuel gauge. (However I hear from a Ducati mechanic its because the fuel tank goes under the seat they have been unable to make a sender that gives accurate fuel level readings.. The cost and time to perfect was prohibitive). 3) the slack in the throttle, which you have fixed already. I used 2 quids worth of wire heat shrink to fix mine!

Wish I knew the answer. When you see bikes now getting anywhere between 12 - £20 it’s an expensive purchase. Example; cars and a lot of bikes are nearly always PCP doesn’t really matter which you choose to buy the monthly payment V the value and mileage is the same and probably the 2nd most expensive item you buy after a house. It’s the monthly payment that dictates affordability and £200 on a bike or £200 a month on a car make your choice. Ride on your own or drive with your mates. That’s why it’s us older guys that buy a lot of the bikes we have the spare income for it.. maybe they don’t want to get wet and cold anymore and getting in a car v jumping on a bike is so much easier. You have to want to ride and that desire to me is being taken away at a young age. I started with a bike with an aspiration to get a car one day. Now you don’t need to aspire anymore.

Does your knee bend backwards to get to the peg? like the Tuono lets say? Or does your foot go straight down. My one knee isnt that great so I dont want the pegs to go back wards alot.

Nice vid as ever. I believe it turns in to a parralell twin temporarily when you're just trundling at low speed. Out of interest, would you consider swapping your 899 to have it if you had to?

Great start to a Monday morning. So the big question is, taking price into consideration, which would you go for? This one, the new Triumph or the KTM?
@RSfiregod3 жыл бұрын
KTM if you like to hoon around. Although the new one is more toned down to aim on speed and not wheelies. Ducati if you love italian looks and want to pay for having the fastest most electronic supernaked. Triumph if you like to have a fast bike where the edges are smoothed of the best (read: smooth and powerfull riding) Aprillia tuono: the engine and maybe the looks if you like italian, but not ducati. All in all all these bikes are in terms of power and features quite similar. When choosing one you should ride these four and see which one suits you. And the best thing is not to judge on looks. Triumph always looked ugly to me, but the street triple got my love for how the engine sounds/rides and performs

Hey Flyer, I appreciate you would have returned the Streetfighter back to Ducati by now but I'm a bit late to your chanel. I have been looking for a new bike and I am considering the V4s along wiht the new MV Agusta RS. When you were driving around on the Ducati how did you find the wind buffeting with no screen? Appreciate it is a naked and by it's nature you will be open to the elements, but was wondering if you found it severe or better than other nakeds you might have ridden. Wouldn't mind your opinion on the new MV as well if you've seen or ridden one? Cheers

Sorry, I have a minor gripe. Why slip through the gap at a chicane put in place to calm traffic? I'm only saying this because others might copy you. In my experience this part of the road is never swept and you're more likely to pick up a puncture riding through the deposits.
