Good luck with keeping up with Ducati,there's no such thing as "I've got the latest model" or not for long anyway.Fantastic bikes though,the Panigale is a magical thing.😂😂😂✌👍
I picked up a 2022 V4 S in April. I love it. I've done some basic mods to it (radiator guard, lever guard, carbon fiber, etc). I'll probably do the exhaust this fall and dry clutch next spring.
Great bike, Mark. For my taste its twice as pleasing to the eye as the SP. Thanks for the warning about the dealer and reinforcing my belief that I'd rather do my own mechanical work when possible. If you're interested, the reason your bike runs with one light on, is to assist with oncoming driver perception - in a 'twin light on' set up, a bike, at close range, can be mistaken as a car at a far greater distance (lights spacing perceived to be close together, equals a car at greater distance than lights perceived further apart)) - encouraging a car/truck driver to turn across your bike's path and a collision may then follow. The mirrors are also designed to break away easily to cause less injury in an accident.
Thanks for the info... It used to be common for super bikes to have 1 light but they moved away from it for a few years... I don't ride at night anyway so its a bit of a mute point... Thanks
The amount of heat is insane. The carbon bits on the frame do cut some on your knees, allegedly the slip on does the same but haven't got a slip on yet so I wouldn't be able to confirm. Something to look into is the Arrow titanium. Got a quote similar price as the akra but the shop is really no ducati mechanics so I don't trust. If I'd find someone that knows what they're doing I'd go with the Arrow 100% sexier than the akra. Something to consider in regards to carbon wheels is the crappy roads. I'm in South Coast and the roads here are awful especially after the floods. I was really close on getting the thyssenkrupp ones but then it dawned to me... They're realistically more brittle than the forged aluminum... Long comment. Sorry, glad to see you posting another video after such a long time. Cheers
nice bike would u trade it in for the new version mighten cost alot and u would have the latest bike . Great video thanks.i do agree withe u about ducati changing updates too often.
I have the same bike and year, with mine if you put your finger behind the lever to flash the headlights and push the lever out it puts the high beams on with both headlights on constantly. I wonder if mine is different for US spec 🤷🏽♂️
My 2022 should arrive any day. You are 100% correct about Fraser’s, would never buy anything from them. They just don’t care. Thanks for your review!!

Great video Mark. The bike looks and sounds epic so hopefully that makes up for the poor dealership experience.
Great videos mate, I currently have a r6 but looking to upgrade to a v4s . Gorgeous bike
I really enjoyed this. Thanks . Just subbed . Hi from melbourne. I agree Frasers are crap. Two bikes from them.. no after sales service
Cheers👍

Awsome stuff youtube poped your video on my feed 😁
I have the full Akra on mine, it's awesome. Crazy, but it actually feels hotter now. If that's even possible.
You no the 23 fairing bolts straight onto your bike
And they can put new software on your bike
I have a 2018 with full 2023 fairing 😊
I have the V4SP 😎 N°679

Hi, nah i will keep it for a while... Just about to get a new M3 delivered so money is heading that way!!
In US, 2020 and 2021 are the same… making that a 2 year model here. Interesting. Same with SP
On the SP, Ducati updated it after one year here in the US
I have the same bike and year, with mine if you put your finger behind the lever to flash the headlights and push the lever out it puts the high beams on with both headlights on constantly. I wonder if mine is different for US spec 🤷🏽♂️
Hi, Sounds the same, just means you ride on high beam all the time. The standard low beam is the one light....
I had the same problem with coolant level
I would install bar end mirrors. Better visibility they don't break and look way better
Let me know when you want to sell this bike. Be like buying a V8 of my grandma
Sound like you need a new set of dealers and mechanics in you country
Totally!!
300 dollars for a mirror ahhahahahahahhahahha.... in Italy is 100 euros ahhahha - the best thing is put an aftermarket one.
Maybe I need to start importing them from Italy!
Petty you are complaining about the 2022 update.
Red flag for a mental health issue.
Totally. This is not a guy you want to have a pint with and chat about bikes.
