Dream bike indeed. Nice to hear your take on it. This bike is so tech savvy and in-depth, it will take you a whole month just to dig into the menu. It’s my favorite motorcycle to date. Great review as usual dude.
@Richard Hart Good question. I think it depends on the rider. The Streetfighter V4 is my 18th bike, so it’s hard to have an unbiased opinion about newer riders. It’s very manageable under 7500 rpm but above 10k it’s a total beast. I think the torque delivery at normal speeds is actually somewhat muted compared to old school liter bikes like the K5 gixxer or early R1’s. The electronics are fantastic, so a rider with a good mentality and a couple years of riding experience would probably have no issues in street mode or perhaps sport mode in the default ride control settings provided they keep it out of the top revs especially on a tight twisty back road. All that said, if it were a second bike, I’d probably recommend an Aprilia RS660 or new monster instead.
What an extraordinary motorcycle. Nothing else matches this bike for its intended purpose. That is sport bike riding but with all day comfort. Best purchase I have ever made…2022 V4S picked it up a little over a week ago. Did 230 spirited miles a couple days ago and it was simply amazing. Been riding since the early 1980’s. This bike has it all!!!!!
Absolutely agree. Best 25k I ever spent :D 208hp and daily rider biker. Quick q tho: have you experienced some chain slapping noise on low rpms as well? Ducati says that this is known issue and basically this bike does not like riding under 5k rpm.
Hands down the best video I've seen on the Streetfighter, and you got it in my preferred black. Loved your personality as a host and loved the film work of your crew. Big love from Australia! This bike is years off ever being a reality for me, but damn I'll enjoy dreaming about it.
It doesn't have heated grips. The pre-wired button is there, but you must purchase them. (Around $350) . Each mode can be completely customized. I have about 1500 miles on mine. Love it!!!!!! Fantastic bike. Best described as "horizontal Skydiving"!!!!!!
I haven't owned mine for a long time yet. In fact, it hasn't even arrived. But I did just place an order for the 2023 SFV4S with my local Ducati dealer after a test ride. I traded my 2021 Monster Plus for it. Difference here is this: When I ordered the Monster during the height of the pandemic, I was fine waiting a whole 2 months for it to arrive. I just placed my order 5 days ago for the SFV4S, and memories of the test ride keep coming into my head. I can't contain my excitement. It's one of those "this changed you" kind of memories. There's just something so addictive about it. Can't describe it too well.
6,000 miles on my 21Dark Stealth S.F. since end of January. My every day transportation. Akra full system with MAP and low restriction air installed prior too delivery. Came ALIVE around 3,000 miles. This bike , being flat black, is a factory sleeper, especially with the cylinder deactivation @ an idle, so quiet. NO displacement shown like my 1299S Panigale adds to the sleeper effect. I'm always in race mode except while it's raining. When this bike hooks up, hot tires and pavement, pulls the front wheel at 130 shifting into 4th is a bit intimidating, especially too the vehicle your passing ! I ride my bikes and cars HARD and over maintain them. NEVER enough horsepower.. Like you found out, at high speeds, 150 - 180+, the wind wants too separate you from the bike. I prefer my 1299 at these high speeds. One complaint 75- 85 miles to a tank of fuel. Unbeaten on the street and constantly challenged !! By the way, I'm 72 and 175 lb. pretty good power to weight ratio. TRY too ride safe guys ..
@@10daysAgo I can't speak on Ducati as I've never personally owned one, but I put 10k miles on my 17 Aprilia Tuono in the first year. I just couldn't stay off of it between the sound and feeling it gives when you crack that throttle open. I have had zero issues with the bike, only basic maintenance and I have run it hard! My only real complaint with the bike is it eats rear tires, but that partially goes back to me constantly being hard on throttle. I think these Italian brands have come a long way with reliability.
I loved seeing your child-like joy and enthusiasm while riding this bike. I currently have 21 Low Rider S and would love to have a second naked sport bike. This is my dream naked sport bike. I can’t wait to ride one and hopefully own one.
Had my 2020 SF V4S for almost a year now. Loving it! Only real gripe is the fuel tank is a bit small. A spirited ride and you’re looking for gas at 70-80 miles. Can get annoying. Just put an UpMap on it to increase lower rev torque which cranks the full beans up to 11, especially in Race. Come back with a smile on my face after every ride. What more do you want from a bike!
I bought a red 2021 in January and absolutely love it. Engine braking is adjustable in each riding model. It's not a high speed bike though, wind tries to rip you off plus it already wants to rip you off under hard acceleration.
I LOVE my 2020 Ducati SFV4 !!! I have around 5000 miles on the bike now. Current mods are... Ducati Performance full Akra system, Ducati Performance Rearsets, Marchesani M10RS gold forged wheels, as well as a few Rizoma goodies. This bike is ABSOLUTE perfection! Did a 407 mile run last Saturday and I have absolutely no complaints.
If its not going to be red, it has to be black. Looks good in stealth colours, it tones down that busy heavy front end look. The styling is love it or hate it somewhat though. I bet the performance is all there and hopefully easier to use on the street at low revs unlike its forebears. With all that power I would either bin it or lose my licence. But what a way to do it. Anyone remember when Chase borrowed a red Ducati and binned it? It was years ago for you newbies.
OC! my dream bike is the Streetfighter V4 S man! i am 100% with you! this was acctually the bike that got me into motorcycles. i'm a car guy as well so when ducati came out with the Lamborghini edition of this bike i found out about it and instantly fell in love. i still haven't found a motorcycle that looks better
I do own this exact bike and by far the best bike i have ever owned. I put about 1000 miles on it a month and with the power it puts down its crazy to me how comfortable the bike is!! I will rock this bike until it cant go any more. That is coming from a guy that is 40 years old and buys bikes and sells them like most people buy cars.
Owned this since last April when released, 13 months later, this bike has been FLAWLESS!!!! What an absolute PEACH 🍑 of a motorcycle!!! Phenomenal performance, especially when flashed by Ducati Corsa. My only complaint is it needs cruise control and is Horrible on Fuel, but that can be expected!! Insanity in the power dept!!
I agree about the gas and everything else. I unfortunately won’t be able to get that Factory Flash here in CA anymore. When I do go with an exhaust system I’ll have to use an aftermarket upmap...bummer!
I like everything about this bike, except the aluminium look radiator. I can’t understand why Ducati chose to accentuate it this way. For me, the Carlin Dunne prototype with the blacked out radiator looked more integrated and much better looking. Great review as always. I’m sure it will get many many to choose the Streetfighter as their next bike.
Chase is killing this. Third time watching this and i own one 🤷♂️😂. But I have to put in a PS to all the people that want more engine brake. You can adjust the engine brake for every map. 😉
Excellent review! Love my SFV4, big smile every time I ride. Installed the Puig windscreen pretty much eliminates wind issues. Keep up the great work Chase!
I own one myself, the style is unmatched. It's an amazing bike but you really have to re-learn how you ride a bike as the Ducati likes to live in the higher RPM's. I also own a Tuono. Anyone looking at a streetfighter, should also ride one of those as well. Prefer the Tuono myself since it has more low-end grunt for the streets.
Hey! Great Video. I love your enthusiasm. I've been riding for 30 years. I just bought the 1260s Diavel. Love it! I'm 5'5 and can flat foot. Here's the thing. I also want something to compliment it, sometimes I long for something not so heavy and more flickable . The SF has a 33" seat height, diavel is 30". I was wondering if this could be lowered slightly without messing up the ergonomics. I guess I can 1 foot it at stop lights. Let me know what you think. Or if there are other SF riders that are on the shorter side. Thanks in advance.
Love the bike, reviewed the bike so already know what you are experiencing...but I am here for the edit because you do such an incredible job (you and your team). Your quality is second to none and it is the bar for this type of content! Hey what frame rate are you guys using on the camera car? You're not missing a downfall, it is absolutely one of he best Ducati's to ride and I love it!
Beautiful bike. Not sure if you are aware but the 2021 Streetfighter is different from the 2020 version in that it is now Euro 5 compliant. Max torque is now 2000 rpm lower at 9500 rpm and it now revs 250 rpm higher. Both max power output and torque remain the same which is great considering the tighter restrictions. There were some complaints that the max torque on the 2020 model was too high in the rev range but now it should be much better at the new lower rpm. I must admit if I could afford one I would but obviously in classic Ducati red. Take care and ride safe.
OC. That’s the exact one man. I’ve wanted that bike since I first saw it and hearing your review tells me it’s what need. Tuono is fun for sure but it felt way too raw honestly
Just an FYI…you can change engine braking as well as all settings to your preference in “Street”, “Sport”, or “Race.” Totally customizable and easy to do.
I ordered mine in early 2020 but ended up getting a 2021 in August that year. Have put around 3k miles on it. Easily the best bike I've ever owned. Hope you get the 20 bike purchases for the win!! 😎
Chase greeting from Ireland 🇮🇪 Subscribed 👍 I’m lucky enough to be buying one of these. The updated 2023 model in grey Nero. Arguably nicer than the all black. The stock exhaust looks right now with the grey accent. Won’t be changing a thing. The mirrors aren’t great for viewing but I can just drop an elbow 🤷♂️ It was between this and the Pani v4 but despite how much more comfortable the new Pani V4s are in comparison to other sports bikes… it’s still a sports bike and after a few hours you’ll be on fire, broken neck and shoulders, sore wrists. I’m a fit dude (me in my avatar) yet I’d struggle with Pani as a solo bike. It’s a track weapon only. IMO. The only mod I might make is the heat shield… but most are saying it’s not needed on the SF, only the Pani. Your thoughts? Touring be fine, you’ll need stop every 160km anyhow for fuel… I’d also need a piss at that stage 😂 never understood how people can stay 6 hours in the cockpit
I love how thrilled you are just to TOUCH this thing, lol. I am eyeballing one hard right now and I am dying.... DYING, to sign on the dotted line. I can carry the loan, but I'm gonna have to sell something to come up with a down payment.
I like it better in black than red. In red it just looked like something that was found dead floating in a lake. In black it’s got a tighter classical sports naked look. Reminds me of what everyone said when it released “Ducati is building the new z1000?”
Sorry Chase, but you're a little off about the cylinder cut-off. The rear bank of cylinders cuts off when in low RPMs (and Neutral), so if you give it the berries you get all 4 cylinders, but cruising through town or in an economical gear, the rear bank cuts off to stop overheating.
would you say this is ducati's response to the Tuono? I've noticed that on these... Hypernakeds? I can only hold on to my Tuono up to around 140... The wind resistance is a serious thing at that speed.
OC - You just did a first ride on it haha. I love that Streetfighter!! I wish they did a V2 of it. I don't need V4 power. For that reason, when the time is right, I'll probably get the Panigale instead. In white, because white looks soooo gooood on vehicles!
I wish that you could put clipons on these I had the previous SFs with clip ons and a 1098 tail with toce pipes and loved it wish I could do something similar with this
2:29 Was that red-line on a probably couple hundred mile bike? Not too worried about that Ducati prescribed 600 mile 6K RPM limit I take it. ...or at least I hope the person who buys it isn't.
Alright man. I got one. Over 10k RPM it's insane. Absolutely bonkers. Just ride it again and make it a goal to stick below 100mph and hit 12k rpm. It's so insane!!!! And then you can chill and coast to your local bar.
Nice review,,,just picked up the exact bike,,you were talking about "break in period",,I never take my new bikes to that high of rpm during break in,,,but??..love your Vids!
OC, I kind of already own my dream bike, I just need to fully realize it through mods. I’ve always wanted a monster of a naked in-line 4 sport bike, preferably a kawi as I grew up on the back of my dads Z1. In highschool when the second gen Z1000 came out I used to drool on my computer screen in the library looking at it. Got a 2010 3rd gen with 3k miles on it a couple years ago. Full akra, Ivan’s tune and dynod at 148whp and 87wtq. Which means if I was a motorcycle manufacturer I might claim that as 160+hp and 95tq (lol)That’s more than enough to be a street monster, especially with short gears. Still going to do a cartridge kit, Penske shock, lighter wheels, and maybe brembos off a gsxr1000. Right now it weighs in the low 460s or maybe high 450s fully fueled by my math. With the mods I plan to do, and based off the forum posts I’ve read, fully realized it’ll be a 440something pound bike. Down from 480. Lowest recorded weight I’ve seen is 431 and that pushing stock zx6r numbers
OC: Chase I'm really impressed with the work you guys are putting in the edition in the videos, I can see how it gets better and better I want to congratulate the team for the hard work they are putting in. My dream bike is the new zx 10 rr, if only I knew how to ride hahaha I will settle with ninja 400 hopefully as first bike
The only big problem with owning a Ducati is there's not enough dealerships. Closest one to me is about 100 miles. Same goes for KTM, Aprilia and anything other than Japanese or HD. Test rode a Super Duke R, since there is a dealer close by. It's really good but not as good as Streetfighter V4s imo.
Hmmm I’m connected to 2 aprilia dealers and 3 Ducati dealers 🤔🤔🤔, could get a tuono factory but the 21’ face is smashed in 🤢, sat on the sfv4s and instantly felt like I was on my 03 RSV Mille, the build quality felt very premium and not cheap like the aprilia rs660, but I see a lot of guys buying this bike on ytube and riding around in 2nd gear the whole video… this bike is going straight to the track and of course commute a few times a week 🤷🏾♂️
i have a SF848 and absolutely i love it. sad that desmo is gone for the new bike(i actually like doin the valve adjustment). But, id sell my soul for one of these.
OC: chase, the levers are adjustable through a small screw on their back 😬anyway… the Panigale V4 was my dream bike but having one for 2 years now I do agree that it’s quite uncomfortable for street ride and the SF would be a better and more comfortable choice.
Does it have a fuel gauge..plus no mention of over-heating..many complaints which other youtube testers detected were not determined or mentioned by you?
That is the most aggressive looking naked bike ive seen yet. truly a dream bike
Check out z1000
I still think the beast is the most evil looking super naked, but this is absolutely stunning.
I know this is old as all heck butt I believe MV Augusta dragster is the most aggressive looking
Chase is killing it with the bike choice of these last few first rides
Just wait for the Supperlegara V4 next week.

Dream bike indeed. Nice to hear your take on it. This bike is so tech savvy and in-depth, it will take you a whole month just to dig into the menu. It’s my favorite motorcycle to date. Great review as usual dude.
You’re not wrong. I bought mine in October and just figured out how to set the damping in the menu.
@Richard Hart Good question. I think it depends on the rider. The Streetfighter V4 is my 18th bike, so it’s hard to have an unbiased opinion about newer riders. It’s very manageable under 7500 rpm but above 10k it’s a total beast. I think the torque delivery at normal speeds is actually somewhat muted compared to old school liter bikes like the K5 gixxer or early R1’s.
The electronics are fantastic, so a rider with a good mentality and a couple years of riding experience would probably have no issues in street mode or perhaps sport mode in the default ride control settings provided they keep it out of the top revs especially on a tight twisty back road.
All that said, if it were a second bike, I’d probably recommend an Aprilia RS660 or new monster instead.
god damn its my dream bike too i wish i will buy one when I travel bec i will not afford it in my country
OC: My dream bike is one that doesn't trigger a divorce.
I bought the SF , still no divorce. Ill keep trying
My two dream bikes are the Africa Twin and the Tiger 1200 but those things are crazy expensive here in Brazil.
Mi wifey said there’d be a divorce if I came home with a SF V4S.
“2 for 1??!!!!” was NOT the right answer.
Don't get married
Prevention is key...

I love how thrilled you are just to TOUCH this thing, lol. I am eyeballing one hard right now and I am dying.... DYING, to sign on the dotted line. I can carry the loan, but I'm gonna have to sell something to come up with a down payment.
Soooo…., I now own that exact bike. I just had the first service done aaaaaand, (drum roll…). No down side. It’s that good.
I like it better in black than red. In red it just looked like something that was found dead floating in a lake. In black it’s got a tighter classical sports naked look. Reminds me of what everyone said when it released “Ducati is building the new z1000?”
Totallt the best first rides ever!
Id absolutely love to see you do a first ride on an Arch
I have this bike and it is amazing. It gets better the more you ride it. They do have aftermarket windscreens as well.
Sorry Chase, but you're a little off about the cylinder cut-off. The rear bank of cylinders cuts off when in low RPMs (and Neutral), so if you give it the berries you get all 4 cylinders, but cruising through town or in an economical gear, the rear bank cuts off to stop overheating.
Oh !! The black looks sick ! 🤙🏻
It's important to note that 1-4 gears are restricted in power in all modes. A flashed one is even more bonkers because it's full power in every gear.
That would be impossible to ride
Love that u brought back first rides. Awesome man
Loved it when you said “That is terrifying”! And that’s why we ride, right?!?! Super cool vid. Seriously well done 👍
OC - my dreambike is probably the Tuono 1100 factory, the headlights on the new ones are sick aswell!
Outro crew in the building 🤘🏾
Just road one off these today. Great time, If I am getting another bike this will be it!
WOW!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! OHHH MY GOODNESSSS! TOOOO INFINITTTYYY AND BEYYYYONNNNDDD!!!!
Says everything right there...sold...I need it!
This is the proper Chase content I need. thanks
Just bought one yesterday! Amazing bike!
would you say this is ducati's response to the Tuono? I've noticed that on these... Hypernakeds? I can only hold on to my Tuono up to around 140... The wind resistance is a serious thing at that speed.
OC - You just did a first ride on it haha. I love that Streetfighter!! I wish they did a V2 of it. I don't need V4 power. For that reason, when the time is right, I'll probably get the Panigale instead. In white, because white looks soooo gooood on vehicles!
I've heard rumours of a V2 Streetfighter coming next year.
I wish that you could put clipons on these I had the previous SFs with clip ons and a 1098 tail with toce pipes and loved it wish I could do something similar with this
2:29 Was that red-line on a probably couple hundred mile bike? Not too worried about that Ducati prescribed 600 mile 6K RPM limit I take it. ...or at least I hope the person who buys it isn't.
I have that EngineHawk jacket too, good choice sir!
Can you do a review of the new Street Triple and Speed Triple?
Living my dream! 😂😂love the enthusiasm for such a beautiful bike
Hey chase, are you able to do a first ride on a KLX300SM?
Sounds like the V8 F1 car in the higher revs 💪
Alright man. I got one. Over 10k RPM it's insane. Absolutely bonkers. Just ride it again and make it a goal to stick below 100mph and hit 12k rpm. It's so insane!!!! And then you can chill and coast to your local bar.
Sick review, sorry quick question how tall are you? The bike fits you very well
I’m so tempted with this bike, but the Hypermotard is giving me pause. Could half the power still be more fun? Some say it is so.
Why did you not take this bike up into the mountains? We wanted to see you drive this bike in the twisties, compared to the MT9 or triple rs.
Nice review,,,just picked up the exact bike,,you were talking about "break in period",,I never take my new bikes to that high of rpm during break in,,,but??..love your Vids!
OC, I kind of already own my dream bike, I just need to fully realize it through mods. I’ve always wanted a monster of a naked in-line 4 sport bike, preferably a kawi as I grew up on the back of my dads Z1. In highschool when the second gen Z1000 came out I used to drool on my computer screen in the library looking at it. Got a 2010 3rd gen with 3k miles on it a couple years ago. Full akra, Ivan’s tune and dynod at 148whp and 87wtq. Which means if I was a motorcycle manufacturer I might claim that as 160+hp and 95tq (lol)That’s more than enough to be a street monster, especially with short gears. Still going to do a cartridge kit, Penske shock, lighter wheels, and maybe brembos off a gsxr1000. Right now it weighs in the low 460s or maybe high 450s fully fueled by my math. With the mods I plan to do, and based off the forum posts I’ve read, fully realized it’ll be a 440something pound bike. Down from 480. Lowest recorded weight I’ve seen is 431 and that pushing stock zx6r numbers
Got a bit over 4000km on my 2020 model. Love it so far :)
OC: Chase I'm really impressed with the work you guys are putting in the edition in the videos, I can see how it gets better and better I want to congratulate the team for the hard work they are putting in. My dream bike is the new zx 10 rr, if only I knew how to ride hahaha I will settle with ninja 400 hopefully as first bike
5:37 that silver car on the left looks like its gliding because the tyres look completely still due to camera's shutter speed lmao
The levers are adjustable, There is a knob in front
The only big problem with owning a Ducati is there's not enough dealerships. Closest one to me is about 100 miles. Same goes for KTM, Aprilia and anything other than Japanese or HD. Test rode a Super Duke R, since there is a dealer close by. It's really good but not as good as Streetfighter V4s imo.
Does Mountain have 20 used groms for sale?
Hmmm I’m connected to 2 aprilia dealers and 3 Ducati dealers 🤔🤔🤔, could get a tuono factory but the 21’ face is smashed in 🤢, sat on the sfv4s and instantly felt like I was on my 03 RSV Mille, the build quality felt very premium and not cheap like the aprilia rs660, but I see a lot of guys buying this bike on ytube and riding around in 2nd gear the whole video… this bike is going straight to the track and of course commute a few times a week 🤷🏾♂️
Getting to 150 was effortless - wow.
Trading in my '17 Ducati SuperSport for a new Streetfighter V4 this weekend. Pumped!
Love this bike.
i have a SF848 and absolutely i love it. sad that desmo is gone for the new bike(i actually like doin the valve adjustment). But, id sell my soul for one of these.
This is the bike I am trying to buy this year.
It’s a beautiful bike man
I want this bike so bad ! It’ll be a perfect match beside my XDiavel.
Eagerly waiting
Love from Nepal
OC: chase, the levers are adjustable through a small screw on their back 😬anyway… the Panigale V4 was my dream bike but having one for 2 years now I do agree that it’s quite uncomfortable for street ride and the SF would be a better and more comfortable choice.
Does it have a fuel gauge..plus no mention of over-heating..many complaints which other youtube testers detected were not determined or mentioned by you?
Hi great video I’ve had my Dark stealth V4 for two weeks simply awesome 👌
OC either a BMW 1250 GS adventure or a Honda Valkrie
Bro it’s a shame that your videos don’t get the views they deserve.
This bike looks like it could be batman's personal bike. Such a sick looking bike.
I sold my Panigale 1199 to get that one. That bike is pure perfection.
Would deserve SP tires though.
Hey bro
I love how this beast looks
I been thinking to buy one
Superduke 1290 R EVO VS Streetfighter V4s
I don’t know 😅😂😂
What do you tink
Ducati of KTM ?
