2022 Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP - First Ride Review
Vložit

- Riding the wave of success from the Ducati Panigale V4 SP - all of them sold out within a week - Ducati saw it fit to give the Streetfighter V4 the SP treatment, too. So now we get the almighty Streetfighter, one of our favorite motorcycles, in an even more track-focused trim. The big changes include carbon fiber wheels, a dry clutch, and Öhlins suspension lifted straight off the Panigale. The result is a wild beast of a Streetfighter, made even more refined. And guess what? All of these are sold out, too.
So rare is the Streetfighter V4 SP that Motorcycle.com was chosen as the only North American publication invited to test the bike at the Cremona Circuit in northern Italy. Road Test Editor Troy Siahaan was lucky enough to get the call to ride it. Here are his thoughts.

Ahhh yes. The track version of the street version of a track bike
Now, that’s funny!
Just for people with money not brains lol
That sums it up.
It reminds me of the 4 door BMW 4 series - a 4 door version of a 2 door version that was from a 4 door model.
There's a lot of people with no brain, they've sold out.
Man that onboard lap was poetry in motion. Troy you can really rip dude. Love that you brought the Nicky Hayden helmet across the pond when you were reppin for the US!
Much appreciated, thanks. And that Nicky helmet was getting plenty of attention from everyone. It was great to see.
agreed
I really enjoyed this review mate, great work
I’m super excited about getting mine! The final touches are be done ✅ should have it soon
Awesome bike! I got the panigale v4SP and its fun.
Troy you made indonesian proud ; especially the Batak tribe!!
Great video Troy, thanks for that.
The pleasure was mine. 👍
glad to hear these will be a great first bike
What a good looking bike ! Well done ducati.
This was the first bike I ever rode and been smiles ever since. No regrets
A mate just bought one gets it in November - looking forward to having a blast on it
Love your video's wish they were in 4k.
Mantapppp and Kerennnnn! love from Indonesia!
Congrats on the press intro.
After 1 yr of a SFV4S I bought an SP and I can tell that is a completely different bike.
I drove last 1500 miles in Sardinia (Italy) with 1 track day and All I can say is..amazing. With these wheels the handling is of another planet and I had 20 bikes in last 40 yrs..
I think it is one of the few elite bikes that are worth the higher price compared to the ‘normal’ versions. For tall guys like me the higher position of the footpegs may be a bit uncomfortable even in the lower level especially if track use is a mere 10% of the total.
Thanks for the review….I have bought the SP even me….but since i am really crazy…even before riding it we are deeply tuning it with exclusive pieces….
Are you italian…?
Io sono vicino a Milano…..
@@luigicosta4520 di Milano anch'io..
@@giamo645 buongiorno che piacere….la tua è stock o gia un po’ preparata? E tu quanto pesi curiosità? Io 95 kg….Mi piacerebbe vedere la differenza con la mia una volta finita visto che sono cosi pazzo che ci ho speso( tra pezzi ducati e di altre prestigiose marche) praticamente lo stesso valore della moto….(libero di non crederci ma lo dimostrerò) in preparazione nei vari comparti….di fatti una volta che la assembliamo se me lo permetteranno da Ducati pubblicheremo il video qui su youtube…..come una delle Streetfighter piu estreme e soprattutto pazze al mondo….e pensa che non l’ho ancora neppure non solo provata ma proprio vista nonostante mi sia gia arrivata da oltre un mese….ma mancano tutti i pezzi
@@luigicosta4520 stock. 75 kg.
Varrà la pena vederla..😀
@@giamo645 lo spero….per tutti i soldi che ci ho messo e le tecnologie innovative che ha su….ma comunque nonostante la mia sia (dato che la tua è stock) -16 kg o 17kg rispetto alla tua e probabilmente +12/15 cv (vedremo a seconda delle mappe e altri componenti) dato che tu sei ben 20 kg in meno di me….non so quanto (ovviamente parlando di prestazioni pure in linea retta….) potrei andarti via….sicuramente sapendola usare come si deve (cosa che io devo ancora imparare) in circuito farebbe la differenza ciclisticamente a livello di leggerezza…..
Ti lascio la mia mail cosi quando ce l’avrò (si parla di settembre) ci facciamo in giro insieme visto la vicinanza (io sono di zona Vigevano per precisione)
Un saluto e sentiamoci

I am not a native english speaker, and the presenter's speech is not advertisement level fluent. But I was surprise I captured every key point this video intend to convey and all make sense to me. I think this is because he did the riding test more carefully and seriously than most other videos with same topic.
More carbon instead of that silver and this thing is perfect for me. Looks sick!
Yeah but is it any faster than a 15 year old GXSR around a track?
And why didn't they call it a Ducati Trackfighter?
I'm failing to see the point of these stupid 200+ hp naked bikes. They have much much less street practicality than their namesake and less-plastic ethos suggests. They are nothing but a Panigale with a handlebar, and stupider aerodynamics.
The only U.S. journalist to be invited. Tooting your chain there buddy boy🤣
Went out on the bikes the other day 4 of us, 2 of the guys had these truly stunning bikes and go like shit of a shovel.
Can one who owns a V4S purchase those same springs, forks and shock, and have the fluid changed with a re-valve done? Probably pricey and who are you going to find to do the job.
I really like the looks Of the sf ducati v4sp, what about the heat issue ,is it really hot like balls burning?
Why they stopped making the rear of the bike? Is it to cut costs? It looks unfinished.
The best breakdown of the changes over the standard bike I've listened to 👍 Am I the only person who wish Ducati fitted a lighter, stronger motogp style dual sided swingarm to their racy models ? Single sided swingarms lost their novelty 20 years ago for me 🤔
Once the 1290 super Duke came out, I lost interest in single sided swing arms, idk they just look boring to me now
Thanks for the kind words. As for the swingarm, never say never (obviously Ducati has done the double-sided swingarm before), but they also seem like a company that sticks to tradition. That single-sided swingarm being one of them. But who knows?
Is it 15k better than 1290 SDR...🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕
Thé Queen of the road that's all....! Nothing else to Say....! 💥💪🦍🦍🦍💯⚡✨💰🚀
Is a bike that sells out in a week actually sold out or is that actually just people buying up the pre-orders to sell them later for profit?
My friend got one and he is ridding it.
About a 5 week wait for me, picking it up tomorrow. No reselling for me.
$15k more than a the same engine V4, its why I wouldn't consider the V2 either at only $3k less than the V4. Had teh V2 been $15k or $15.5k I may have traded in my bike on one
Both bikes are professional bikes in that unless your a professional with abilities to take bikes in the grey zones, 100%~110%, probably not notice the difference. But that little extra in the right hands wins the race or not. The bike is a tool but the rider makes the difference if that bike has that extra capability that a better rider can use. An attorney graduating from Yale has the extra opportunities that Yale offers but you must be enough to know how to use those opportunities. Lol!
For 37k you can get the panagale v4 sp. This is the ultimate naked machine though
What a job to have. Jeez
Too much for the street? I enjoy my Super Duke because all the horsepower/torque all
below 9500 rpm, streetable rpm. The Ducati beautiful as semi naked but I like seeing the whole engine. Along with my Super Duke, I recently purchased a MV AGusta Dragster 800rr Pirelli Edition. I might of purchased the Streetfighter but V4 not really visible. Ducati makes sexy bikes
While the Streetfighter is trying to get the RPM up, something like a Gen2 Vmax or a xDiavel or even a lowly 1250 Bandit would be peeling rubber off the rear tire FLYING away from a stoplight. Motorcycle manufacturers have seemingly forgotten about the era of bikes that made easy stupid torque right off idle, were fun below 120 mph, and didn't cost what a new car costs.
I’ve got the same bike and same helmet 👍👊🏽 give me some tips and I’ll do a CZcams video!!!
👍👍👍
For $35 grand American i would hope that not only would i receive a golden ticket to visit the manufacturing plant but to know the bells in Bologna are rung while the people celebrate the Italian engineers in the beautiful streets....js
v4 SPSS+ is coming in 2025 after V4 SPS and V4 SPSS
🕊️ GRATITUDE👍 Thank you great channel🎖️ Excellent SHARE!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
*' 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸* *GOD BLESS* *🌎🙏🌎 '*
No comparison lap time with v4s
To my knowledge, the lap record is something like 10 seconds faster - and it was set on a V4S (Superbike).
$35.5K? HELL NO. I'll stick with my 15 year old GIXXER ;)
Why not try it on the road? That's the "road version" of the Panigale V4 SP bike after all.
Refusing to aknowledge that most of those bikes are ridden on the road, not on the track, leads to poor magazine sales and CZcams views.
Because it's a Ducati Trackfighter.
The Aprilia tuono v4 factory is 10k less and better looking. But that’s my humble opinion. But hey everyone has his own taste.
Streetfighter is way better and much better built.
ive had both 2020 Aprilia tuono RF and 2021 Ducati streetfighter v4 and now i just got lucky and managed to get the v4 sp and yes maybe the tuono looks a bit better but the streetfighter is just insane
The tuono v4 has been out for 10 years now lol, still wins best super naked every year, but working at a piaggio/Ktm dealership is a nightmare… don’t buy an aprilia if you don’t wanna wait months just for a bolt or side panel 😂 ps. Piaggio doesn’t have ETA’s it just shows up when it shows up
I have owned an RSV4 and the build quality was bad and resale value was poor
Thank you guys for sharing your experience that’s making me think more carefully about any future purchase 👍👌
Aero wings on a naked bike is stupid and ugly and does make no sence..... i want that bike so bad.....
That’s the amount we pay for a normal SF V4 in INDIA!!! Fucking sucks!
Track bikes , over rated , and there
So expensive , they struggle
If the roads are Bumpy and rough
I rode with 6 DUCTAI a while ago ,
If you can keep up was the first
Thing they said to me , in my mind
I thought bit cocky saying that to
A Kawasaki Zxr14r especially
With roads being Bumpy and
Rough ( welcome to Aussie
Country roads , what do you
Expect with road trains all
The time ) Well I give you short
Story they were out of there comfort
Zone , it windy as well , the big KAWASAKI
Was planted , loved it . I Went passed all
Of them apart from one and set the pace
When we covered 90 km they looking for
Petrol station when we stoped After 150
Km , they could not believe the Kawasaki
Did not need Fuel , I rode home 300 KM
range, and if you take it easy 360 km
As I said and half the Ductai blokes
Said the Kawasaki is real sturdy Good
Bike . Since then I brought a Limited
Addition with OHLIN'S Shocks and
I Set them up well for me and Rough
Roads and the old one was Fast enough
Had this one maped , now has 209 Hp
At back wheel , one Quick bike but still
Planted , cannot beat Long wheelbase
And I said for a long time Bikes are to
Light , in perfect condition they are OK
But in Wind , Bumpy roads , Rain
I know which bike is the Best
But if you drop it, can you pick it back up?
@@NudaMan I am 60 Years old
Now , When I was 58 , I cleaning
The Bike down , and decided to
Turn it around in back yard , started
Gave it 30 seconds but was still
Running to fast , should have waited
turned it around On the Grass , stuffed
Up and dropped on the Grass , Could
I lift it up by myself , I was angry ,thought
I Damaged bike , well just about threw
It Over the other side . ( I don't like
Getting angry loose control)
@@NudaMan If you drop a V4 Streetfighter can you keep from crying?
@@markjones464 ZX-14R and 3rd gen Hayabusa are way more practical, very very fast, super smooth, comfortable, mile munchers than any of these whack 200+ hp naked racing bikes. I think people have bought the marketing nonsense about what these naked superbikes are, and ignoring the obvious reality that they are merely stupidly high-strung racing bikes with a handlebar, who make far less power than their peak numbers suggest in most practical settings on the street, lack real grunty torque, and cost ridiculous prices. Meanwhile the ZX and Busa could cruise at 150 mph tankful after tankful, consuming rear tires day after day and never break a sweat. And all people whine about is the weight. Pop a 4-2-1 exhaust, lithium battery, and a set of forged wheels on either one and they drop over 40 pounds and handle much more nimbly than they have any right to. Do a search for "Hayabusa gymkhana" on CZcams and see what a "portly huge sportbike" can do. People lack skills to exploit ANY bike they ride, and no amount of money can buy skills. Neither the ZX-14R and Hayabusa make as much peak power as a tuned Panigale V4R. Big deal. They do however, make 30-40 ft-lb more torque while putting down near 200 wheel HP, and are NOT stressed out high strung motors.
@@exothermal.sprocket Well said about the bike
Kawasaki Zxr14r & BUSSA are great bikes
And the Great commet about how much Of
The 200 Hp you really use , anybody that
Says they use 100% ,all the time better
Ring MOTO GP and take over the Factory
Rides !!
So it makes a lot of power. It cooks the thighs and genitalia. It looks a little goofy and is completely impractical in terms of holding anything but a single person on the seat with zero room for even a sandwich.
So what do we have to pay for this privilege? About the cost of a new car in 2018.
I can have a boat load of fun on a 890 Duke R, Z900SE, XSR900, Monster, GSX-S1000, Hypermotard, CB1000R, and others without paying more than double.
All of these "racing bikes with a handlebar" bikes out there are 95% as focused as a full fairing racing bike. And 100% just as impractical.
We would love all the power of a V4 1100 in something much more practical, with an actual subframe, with an actual tank range, with actual upright comforts, with an actual comfortable seat that can do a few hours. No, the Multistrada Pikes Peak is NOT that bike. That bike is a portly, ADV-esque, dedicated styling bike.
Hideous. $35k lmao.
stop being poor and angry
The new Norton is 44k with only 175hp, this bike is worth the asking price honestly
@@kotu1111 stop being a hater🤔 not everyone is wealthy…
I still think the 15 year old Kawasaki Z1000 looks better than this.🤔
Your main audience is American, Stay off the KPH...and stick to MPH...GEEZ !!!
Amazing bike but dreadful review. Stuttering and looking for words half the time also quite some questionable statements. You guys can do better, I did not subscribe for performances like this. Sad
I thought it was an excellent review. Happy.
