What’s the annual bill going to be replacing the clutch plates?

Duc engineer said the reliability combined with the synthetic oils (with tons of additives) they use these days means unless you’re regularly tracking the bike you really don’t need to change oil more frequently than what in the manual. Which for the Sfv4 anyhow is 1000km first service, 12000km per service after that (or annually) and 24000 for valve check and that’s on a desmo engine bike . Really good! Even tracking he said guys over do the oil changes, but, that it’s their money to waste and he’s happy to oblige 😅😂

Are you tracking the bike a lot? Why so frequent clutch and brake bleed? The manual for the SFV4s says to check fluid level regularly but change it change once every 24 months (2yrs). I don’t track my SFV4s , so maybe that’s why. Perhaps viscosity of fluids is different here, I live in cold Ireland.

you make youtube great again!!!

MV is Mo

Price tag is hella different too

too much wind after 80mph/140 km

I have one the exact model 75 anniversary great bike number 106 of 200

1991 na1 all the way!

Any chance you sold this to pro italia?

What made you ultimately go with this over one of the Superleggeras? How do you feel about that decision now?

Awesome video so much great info

I can’t see behind me with those mirrors on both my 2020 V4S, and my 2023 V4R, so I got the handlebar mirrors, just love them. YES, I have been riding since 1967, I told my Dealer that it hands down the most incredible motorcycle I have ever ridden let alone owned!

So the bike is only accessible to 6 ft plus riders. Ideally 6’2” because he was on his tiptoes

Two years ago i bought a 2009 Britale 989r! It makes me feel special every time i twist the throttle!

ktm has more torque

ktm accelate better

MV any day

interesting for me to watch because I own both of these bikes amongst us. I have five Ducati various models, and two MV Augusta, brutales. One 800 cc in red and one 1090 cc in silver red and black. The four cylinder 1090 cc model beats the ass off the 800 cc three cylinder which I’m going to sell because I’d rather listen to a swarm of wasps in my ears, then that manifold despite how beautiful it looks. It sounds absolutely horrible and it would be a sin to remove the original artist designed exhaust pipes to put aftermarket pipes on because they’ll never look as beautiful and that’s like pissing on the Mona Lisa. as to the streetfighter, I can say I own a Ducati Café racer, a Nightshift scrambler, two Ducati monsters, Diavel 1260 on the way, and the 848 street fighter. And the street fighter is currently the most comfortable bike of all along with the MV Augusta 1090. Those are my two favorite bikes. I’ve got some other bikes as well, such as a Harley sportster 1200, a Benelli TRK502x, Royal Enfield scram 411, 650 Diablo custom gt continental cafe racer designed by K-Speed custom Thailand, and a few other items. But most of my collection tend to be Italian bikes. The four-cylinder MV Augusta and the Ducati Street fighter are two completely different rides. One of them is friendly and comfortable, and the other one is very naughty and tiresome. One of them you can spend a few hours having fun on, the other one will leave you with an adrenaline overdose after half an hour doing 30 mph at 12,000 RPM trying to get past the bus in front of you. that is the MV Augusta 800. Which isn’t in this video and there’s a three cylinder version like the dragsters they make. And they seriously warn anybody except millennials, perhaps, against them. They look really beautiful, but they sound so horrible and they are so tiring to ride, and impossible to do anything with, but race all the time. all Off The The Time Meaning, maximum one hour, because you cannot drive the 800 cc model of the MV Augusta for longer than that. unless you want something to show off on for for an hour as a second bike once in a while, I would say get the street fighter because you’ll drive that to work and you’ll take it on the track as well if you like that kind of thing. And you’ll definitely leave anything you want behind on the motorway as well. And you will be comfortable all of the way. It’s one of the most surprising bikes I’ve ever bought. The 1090 MV Augusta is also perhaps the most amazing bike I’ve ever bought, but it’s extremely powerful and I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody except extremely experienced riders. Whereas, the Ducati Street fighter, is very friendly even to people with only a few years under their belt, driving big bikes. The Ducati Street fighter is very compliant. The MV Augusta rides you. You don’t ride it… it rides you

Augusta, great look

what size allen key for the bolts?

what size Allen key fits those bolts? is it a special Ducati one?

Seems like they could design a better heat shield to help out. Beautiful bike though.

Great comparison, envious of you fam

I love listening to newbies whine about the dry clutch and how you have to feather the throttle/clutch. I raced an AMA Road Race season in '75 including the Daytona 200 on a TZ350 (D) and first gear was incredibly high and the engine had almost no torque/HP at low RPM's...to say you had to "feather" the clutch when leaving the pits or at start time was a real understatement. I've ridden a V4R and it is a complete no brainer launching with the dry clutch.

Was your first time putting that bike on track ??

Great video, I've been wanting one since I got my pikes peak. Does it at least have a low fuel light?

Thx for the awesome review ! Can’t wait for my first V4 & Aprilia

They have some many training courses for that but the sad part. Only a few take the courses.

I totally agree with you on the gas gauge and cruise control….my 23 S1KRR has it and frankly @ $45k it’s truly a minimum the Italian engineers can do for there customer. It might be an Italian thing because my 22 aprilia RSV4 doesn’t have it either.

Great info and impressions that I’d otherwise not have as I’m not talking with a lot of R owners, but I am interested in the comparison between S and SP2, R. Cheers

as soon as ducati stopped making bikes with the pipe frames they made sure id never buy one again.

Yes I have such a bike , it's just a gem , these guages Analogue special ,I can't imagine life without Ducatis And Carlton Football Club go Duc , GO BLUES RARARA

And one V4 R can fetch you 2 normal V4 S ☠️

Have you seen the new 2024 Brutale Essen? Wow.

I tell you what, if Ducati's engineers were smart enough to at least add a cruise control and heated grips, I would immediately turn in my s1000rr and get the V4R ! I hope Ducati reps are reading these messages by the 'normal' street rider(s) who don't use the track 95% of the time !! 😁

I heard from a lot of Ducati v4 owners and ib650 one of them that maintenance is not expensive and people tend to exaggerate the prices without knowing exactly how much it cost, since you have the sexiest V4 on sale can you give us an estimate ?! Also a lot of ppl don’t know that the maintenance interval now is 15000km which i think justifies the price (if) it is as expensive as they say.

😭😭😭 what happened ??

Wait until you feel the dark side LITERALLY, aka the engine heat 🤣🔥🔥🔥

That is the best object ever made.

No no no clue 😢

Is it good for everyday street driving i live in india I want to buy this bike or is it only made for track

And u forgot about the colour of the tank... the V4s came all in red colour

That’s pretty much the same on most bikes

I hate is dat tank color Red white or black I wud hv prefer but seriously not silver lookin ting

Are european bikes reliable compared to Japanese? They have character but the market needs reliability.

😎

Its ALL sexy fool

I have a v4r. Was thinking about getting a rush. How do they compare?

Front reflector has to go
