Hey Everyone!
It's time to ride the BEAST.
I was invited to a demo day to ride around on the Streetfighter V4S which is a bike that after riding it, I could definitely see me owning one - although.. riding though sleepy villages with this exhaust did make me wince a little!! haha!
Hopefully, I'll get to sample this bike for a longer period of time in the future!
Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one. Ride safe and have fun! 😊

Sold mine after 3.5 years of faultless ownership. Now have a street triple 765 RS moto 2. No regrets the 765 is just so much better as a road bike. The streetfighter huge fun in small doses but just too serious & overkill for the road. Remember the first time i gunned it in full power mode, jees you think your up there revs wise but then realise you still have 4-5000 to go. Mind blowingly quick

I’m keeping my 2024 765 RS until Ducati can add cruise control. Won’t consider a bike without cruise control

⁠⁠@@RadDadisRadI have the same bike and same mindset. I am also waiting for ducati to add cruise control in street fighter, well I won’t sell the street triple though. Or else my other choice is s1000r pro model(sports model in UK).

Hey! I’m “an old person” and I love those intake and exhaust notes 😊 For me, that beautiful engine alone is well worth the price of entry. And, for discerning buyers, the SP versions are pure bargains, once you begin adding up the values of the components. As for the naysayers, you don’t drive a 911 at ten tenths on the road, but that doesn’t diminish your appreciation of the engine and overall design.

10:20: it has nothing to do with the technology, but with Euro4. They forced the manufacturers to remove manual control of the valves. It had to be fully automatic. It pissed a lot of the Harley guys who were used to press on a button to have the valves fully open all the time. Now, it’s still possible to press a button, but the electronic will automatically close the valves in certain conditions. Check Kess-Tech or Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust manufacturers

Talking about excesses: I Just stumbled over a test of a Mercedes Coupe in which the exhaust note is picked up by a microphone and then amplified over the internal sound system. Ideal for the ultimate egotrip(st)er. What that has to do with Ducati? Well, my guess is that Ducati will be the first to put such a rediculous gadget in a motorcycle. However! Come to think of it!

Stand on the left foot peg with left foot and hold the handlebars including front brake lever for extra confidence 3 Now lift right leg over the bike a bit like getting on a horse 4 stabilize the bike and put into neutral 5 off you go.

I understand that people like to own this sort of thing for the pleasure of ownership, track days etc.. but from my point of view, it's just pointless. If you've got to switch half the engine off to keep it civilised in the kind of riding that most of us do most of the time, then the engine's twice as big as it needs to be. The few times I've ridden big, powerful bikes like this, my overwhelming impression was of frustration, from constantly reining it in, holding it back, and tip-toeing around in 50% of the throttle range in order to not die in real-world traffic conditions. There's just so much traffic on the roads these days that even on country lanes there's a 90% chance you'll spend more time waiting to overtake a dozy car driver than you will wringing the bike's neck.
