anybody test ridden a V4s yet ?

Do it Perks its a proper weapon

Ducati lent me one last year. There very good for test rides. I picked it up at 10am and they just said be back before we shut at 6pm. 4 tanks of fuel later with a huge grin on my face I got back at 5:58pm

4 tanks? So that's about 200 miles I'm guessing?

I got 260 and thought I was doing well

Took it back with the fuel light on, which I was embarrassed about, although they werent bothered tbh and I offered to pay for a refuel.

I got back literally 10mins before closing and if I had gone for fuel I was worried I would be too late

They just said " you had a good day" obviously I said "yes" and that was it got my bike and rode home, no hard sell, just glad I had enjoyed it.

That is doing well! I was hoping to do some test rides this year but I doubt that's going to be happening. A Hypermotard and Panigale V2 would be top of my Ducati list.

Do the Pani V2 and V4 back to back.

Before I bought the 1299 I did a day on a 959 and the next day on a 1299. Ducati are good for test rides.

I doubt they'll let a 26 year old on the V4. I think insurance requirements state 30 now.. it certainly does on hire bikes.

This is true. Which dealership do you use?

Try the new DMC at Worcester.

I have ridden the V4 Panigale. Fantastic motorbike but it needs to be ridden on track to get anywhere near its potential, IMHO.

You could save yourself £10k with the V2 and be no slower 95% of the time.

100% agree with Duke but its one hell of a motorcycle. Probably a game changer imo.

Easier to ride than the 1299 and although not as brutal on acceleration its ultimately a faster motorcycle, as makes 200+bhp much easier than it should be

Full system on the one I took out which the dealer said meant 230bhp

That's a clever paint scheme.

It's an even cleverer bike

I think the V4s looks wise is rank

Test and trace can feck off. I'm not letting Cummings and his family have my data.

Just watched Boris on the news.

Its frightening to think he is in charge. He doesn't look well, sound well and doesn't have a clue what he is doing.

Biggest crisis in 75 years and we have a fool in charge.

He didn't look good today. He's knackered.
