Hi Guys, I'm looking to buy my first Ducati and i'm really excited as i've been lusting for one for some time. I'm looking for either a 1299s with Akra's, or a V4S. Thanks Foo
I rode a v4s a few weeks ago, very different to the twin a felt Ride one and see! Short stroke motor was a bit wheezy at low end, just my two cents
They’re electronically governed low down. And rightly so. The V4S is crazy powerful. The V4R is a different animal. Over square engine with crazy top end...
Get a Pani R Same money as V4s but won’t depreciate. Something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254939494346
I thought I wanted one and as time has ticked by realised I don’t! I’m not interested in racing, just the odd track day. A V4S is significantly cheaper but definitely not significantly slower.
I was told today that the latest version is no longer governed, no torque limiting in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Sadly it’s an engine map so not a retro fit for the earlier model nor is the v3 DTC Andy
You may wish to ask your self base model or S S = road use only Base = road and track- but upgrade suspension with Good quality Ohlins / K tech etc with the money saved
