I’ll likely never own one, but bloody hell it’s a gorgeous looking bike and a serious bit of kit. We need to keep bikes like this coming out to keep it alive. If things get too sensible/practical it’s the death of it all. Much love for all things mad and wonderful in the world of motorbikes.
@@steve00alt70 The cost of bikes is a different issue. They are getting crazy expensive and I agree that if these top tier bikes were the main ranges available then it wouldn't take long to close the doors of many dealers. Keeping a range of options is important and the manufactures should tackle price points more, but keeping these exotic, powerful machines coming will keep a side of the scene alive.
@ I know, but there are many factors as to why. If you’re not personally an owner or lover of high performance bikes then I can see why you might “blame” bikes like this. But insurance companies are a big factor alone. My point is that we (lovers of bikes in all shapes and sizes) need to keep it alive by getting behind new bikes. Manufacturers prices/inflation/wages all count and they should do their bit but I personally will continue to push hard to buy bikes as I love them and don’t want the soft core way to take over
@jthemighty690r no to keep it alive we actually need more young riders to take over and not many young lads have money, cause the industry was made by the boomer generation and now they are age 55+ getting older and that ship is sailing fast.
I started watching this thinking that I'll have a quick look. But when I saw the bike I said that this videos deserves a beer and a little more time. Also, the shoutout to all fans at the beginning of the video is a very nice touch of class. Good job.
I have not shed a single tear I was incredibly happy that you Ducati finally took this step I've always found single-arm swinging absolutely ugly absolutely gorgeous and now it's getting really interesting
The 2025 Ducati V4 Streetfighter is next-level! Ducati has absolutely nailed it with this one-blending mind-blowing power with cutting-edge design. The new upgrades take performance to an entirely new height, while the aggressive styling makes it impossible to look away. The V4 engine is pure adrenaline, and the refined aerodynamics make it even more agile on the road. This bike is a true masterpiece that showcases Ducati’s relentless pursuit of excellence. Can't wait to see it on the streets!"
This bike makes me feel the way I assume car people feel looking at Ferrari's or Lamborghini's. Never felt anything from a car, but this is art. It's an unbelievably beautiful machine. Sad that I'll never own one, but happy it exists all the same.
Firstly.....first dibs is nothing more than you deserve...best channel on RUclips....by a mile. Secondly....if we could all put our egos aside the Streetfighter is the bike we should all ride. Pal of mine took his Panigale V4S in for a service recently...his loaner was a Streetfighter....we both rode it and both agreed it is absolutely the way forward 🙌
I thought I would not like the new Fighter V4 after seeing the new V2 but god damn this bike is absolutely stunning piece of art, the wings, the profile, the lights and the total design is fire. 🔥🔥🔥
hello from Australia .im a ol fart and in regards to them wings and you being part of the aerodynamics is just spot on ,in my youth i raced a Z1300 kawasaki and at high speeds i would loose my body weight and hover over the seat ,i really had to grip for dear life just to stay on ,fast forward 44 years and look at the development ,gorgeous bike boys
I’m also old enough to remember when they raced bikes at Bathurst! I started racing in the early 90’s however my house mate raced in the 80’s and would tell stories of how the front tyre would elongate going down conrod until it started to eat the front guard. Scary stuff and just one reason why they haven’t raced bikes there in about 40 years.
@@marcusgeorge1825 hahahah your housemate is a bigballed truth teller ,yep Bathurst had a monster straight on the bottom end and i would wind that Kwaka up and hang on ,there was no kink back then so you hung on ,six pack before a race gave you a bit more courage
Keep the wings on racebikes where wheelies can slow you down. No need for them on a streetbike. I'm from the era where we loved a good power wheelie whether on purpose or not.
As much as I love the look and iconic value of the ss. From a maintenance/cost and torsional aspect of a double makes sense for me. I daily a v2 ss it’s not great for chain and sprockets changes
It’s just a straight up fantastic looking machine. The Italians can do it like no one else, they just know how to make a bike look like a perfect blend of form and function
Interestingly the design team was led by a Kiwi called Sam McCafferty. He’s since left Ducati after working for them for 3 years. He also designed the previous gen SFV2 as well as the new V2 Pani and SF. Bloke’s a genius :)
You’ve come a long way lads - I remember the day you revealed your partnership with BvG - now you’re getting global exclusives & selling out live cinemas 👍🏻
I’ve got the 2020 Streetfighter V4s which I’ve had from new and never thought I’d be tempted to get rid of it, but.. that looks the nuts and you can have cruise control at last
Can't wait for your full review on track and road. My 1290 desintegrated it's gearbox a few months ago. Tried the last sf v4 but it was too anti social concerning it's "noise" for me. This could be the one. Keep up the good work. Until it gets warmer I just keep rockin my 44teeth beenie and wait till there are some sf v4 demos for me to try. Love you guys 😙
I'll admit, wasn't a fan of the 2025 V2 when it was shown a month or so ago but it has grown on me a lot then they release this and I'm like ok, I'm sold. Loving the look of the new SF now.
IMHO the wings should be great for those "fall off stand" situations. Here's the thing, check whether the price of the wings is less/more/same between left (stand side?) and right side. The difference shows the character/motivation of the manufacturer.
Not sure why the iconic single-sided swing arm is gone and I could stull do without the winglets, but I will be buying this bike once my current commuter finally kicks the bucket: 2005 GSXR 1K with 96K+ miles. I absolutely love my Gixxer but I need this Ducati in my life at some point.
the instrument "cluster" not being tucked behind the light housing is pretty obnoxious. it's either the light housing or the cluster...you can't have both stacked. it looks like a big wart on top of the light housing. look, old bikes (or retro bikes), with round headlights can pull this off...but this is different. it just doesn't work. that damn cluster needs to go away.
As a current Streetfighter V4S owner, I have to say the new bike looks stunning. They should do a version in the white bodywork, like the last gen Panigale V2 had 😊
You blokes are great! Having lived with a Panigale since 22, I’d think I’d go for the street fighter in this generation!! I have a first gen Diavel also, so Idk if it’s more comfortable?? I Doubt it! Thanks for all you do!
Looks amazing, certainly aesthetically more pleasing than the Tuono V4 Can’t wait for the road/track test Good luck hanging on to it at a track near you😆
Looks proper badass. The new model looks better than the outgoing IMO. They did a nice work integrating wings into a naked. Doesn’t look as tacked on as on some other bikes.
Woohoo for you guys @fortyfourteeth for getting the premier. I was undecided about the V2 and now I know why. It's the high exhausts on that. Like the looks of the v4 a lot better. The double sided swing arm still stings a bit though.
You simply need the wings because take it on the track like I do, and with all that power you wont be slow on the straights. No need for a lengthy justification. Well that and of course it makes it look more aggressive.
Many options for carbon bits, the after market exhausts are going to be interesting. Riding through rural France or Italy in summer. Perfect. The M1 & London in winter, not so much. More than 200bhp on a street bike - mad and bad. Much less messy that the older one. Those wings are the 916 left side fairing. A money spinner.
Looks beautiful until you get to the headlight and it seems to small.and a touch low .still gorgeous though. Would love it with a tuono style top fairing option
For the price would be nice to see carbon not flat plastics, I hope for street riding and 1 litre smaller tank there's a proper fuel gauge not just a warning light. WIngs verging on getting too large. Can't understand why they make a bike with such exposed radiator area where an extended front guard would near elminate need for rad guards without compromising looks. Is there another colour choice? Nice review. Thanks!
Definitely a head turner. Still liked the look of the previous SF more. I understand the ethos of going for performance over "beauty", I'm just not on board for it on this type of bike. I suppose they can't have a different swingarm because that's not good economics. They going to put those swingarms on all models now?? Sad In the end, I'll be jealous no matter which model since I can't afford one in any case lmao I quite fancy a hypermotard once my car payment is finished.
I love the look of that new swingarm. I never understood the hype of the single sided ones. Wasn't really a big fan of wings - purely because of looks, but this bike has the most tasteful design for my liking so far.
Like the fact they still use a traditional key. I really hope these sell in the current climate as what a great looking bike and perhaps in 10 years I can buy a used one 😂
Can't wait to ride it through endless 50mph average speed zones...
“Stealth Plate”
Yeah...at the end of the day, unless you want to commit crimes and risk your life, it ends up doing exactly the same thing as an SV650.
When is enough cameras enough?
@@aluisious Owning an sv650 should be a crime in itself 🤣
Fuck that, numberplate in the bin for those naughty runs 😂
What a privilege for you to get to present this in the factory! Well deserved lads!
Boothy walks better with 1 and a half legs than Al does with 2 just saying...🤣🤣 Great to have Boothy back! ❤️
Looks tasty. If the wings get any bigger you’ll need a pilot’s license.
Welcome to wingfest 2025
Next they will start putting wings on the helmets and leathers 😮
Mmmmm I love buffalo wings....
@@jonasbaine3538you don't have wings on your helmet and jacket? Slacking...
The testing of the opening in the swingarm is scientifically sound. Should be an item in the News! “Will it f*st?”

I know a few people have cried about that swing arm, single sided does look sexier but as double sided goes, that’s lovely.
This is the best looking out of the new sf/panigale models fs, looks very concept buke-esque
I like the aprilia raw metal one the most, and that's double sided
Agreed the single sided swing arm is Italian art but the double is better for racing.
@@LancelotLink1
That doesn’t matter since the street fighter doesn’t participate in any racing circuits

Keep the wings on racebikes where wheelies can slow you down. No need for them on a streetbike. I'm from the era where we loved a good power wheelie whether on purpose or not.
if you think this bike cant wheelie because it has a couple of 5 inch flaps hanging off the side of it, you're a moron for a multitude of reasons.
I don’t hate the new swingarm but I’m glad I got my 24 SFV4S with the ss
As much as I love the look and iconic value of the ss. From a maintenance/cost and torsional aspect of a double makes sense for me. I daily a v2 ss it’s not great for chain and sprockets changes
@@combatclifton True. Ducati wouldn't have switched if it wasn't better at racing and had its maintenance advantage.
All that horsepower! Should be just about adequate for popping down to the shops
straight to starbucks
but the way theye map them, you don't get all the power until you in the rev range, so all this money to ride around with half the power.
Commuting in the snow and rain on it thats if you can afford it
It's not a GS.
Corner shop yes, but all the way to the mall..? Not sure
aftermarket part that modifies the wings into cup holders is a cracking business opportunity

The rear brake caliper on the bottom is a nice move
just booked a flight to singapore to sell my kidney
Why
Congratulations on the exclusive great job 👏
great to see boothy back on the job
Great for poping to tesco in November on a rainy night 👍
Those wings need to be removed
At least Ducati go through the effort of making the exhaust fit the styling unlike bikes like the Kawasaki zh2
Most Kawasakis since about the turn of the century come from the Stevie Wonder school of design 🙈
I’ve got the 2020 Streetfighter V4s which I’ve had from new and never thought I’d be tempted to get rid of it, but.. that looks the nuts and you can have cruise control at last
Boothy throwing his leg over that bike is absolutely joyful. Looks absolutely natural. Love y'all!
I wish the stuck with the single swing arm for the streetfighter at least 😢
The duel sided swing arm looks good, symmetry important! Sorry Boothy 😂
Ouch
He will definitely have had a giggle at that! 😂
Most of us hang to the left don't we? 😉
What a machine. Nice work boys, I'll look forward to seeing it with one of you onboard.

Boothy is definitely going to win the fight to ride it. He'll take his leg off and smash you all to bits with it.
They didn’t mess this one up! 🏆
Fantastic looking bike , I have a blacked out 21 version . But those wings on this from the front look ridiculous
Good job guys ! I really like it and probably pick one up in the fall
Thanksgiving here in U.S. and I am Thankful for 44teeth!!!❤
Cool. Cheers from Portugal.

New swingarm looks fantastic.
Fight me 🤷♂️
Took me a while but I feel the same
NO, no it doesn't !!!
I love it. A clean double sided swing arm looks so good. Seeing the wheel is cool but eh
would be nice if they did the v2s with a single sided and the v4 with this.
Agreed. Looks amazing to me.
Simply lovely! Plenty in the tank sir
Bloody good shot sir

Someone please make a wing delete kit.
can't we just remove it? I thought its just attached with bolts or something.
Think Dremel already make one.
Shut your mouth boomer
Handling will be worse over 60mph. Stop with this obsessive compulsive anti-wing disorder 😂.
Especially the red ones which are on tank
Definitely need 214 with no fairings 💪💪
good one boys!!
that's a big display, does it now shows a fuel gauge or still nothing ?
I think it looks better than the Panigale . The new body work and wings make it look sleeker for sure. Probably my next bike in 26

Imagine the size of target on your back riding around the UK roads on one of these! hahaha
You certainly wouldn’t want to leave it unattended pretty much any city here. Imagine insurance for it.
Can't wait for the aftermarket to catch up and start offering wing removal kits for all the modern bikes.
It's named street fighter, if you ride it like a street fighter those wings will be removed organically!
Way better than the Panigale! ❤
The wings have a different shade of red to the tank/rear? Bizarre.
Awesome vid, lads!
Definitely not on purpose. I see that too but I think it might just be the downward angle the piece is on with the white wall.
