V4 899 To V4s

i considered an 1199 or 1299 jump but on thought i dont need 200 hp on the road

 

Did you test ride any V4s?

 

Don't rule out a non-S V4. And treat Superbike Factory like a private sale purchase, and you should be fine buying from them.

 

I wouldn’t touch Superbike factory with a barge pole.

and I have a new Speed Triple 1200 in the garage, 175hp is nowhere near the V4 and yet I prefer riding the 899, I just think the V4 would be savage on the road, my R1 was okay for pottering around on but it was mad on the road

 

I was lucky to ride V4SP and it an awesome bike extremely fast, smooth and efficient, but I recently purchased a 1299s and man that bike angry, but it has bags of character. So if you are thinking of moving from 899 to V4 you will find it’s a much better bike, but if you fancy an animal to ride get the 1299s.

 

The Panigale V4 is leaps and bounds a better bike than a 899.

spend a bit more and get at least a 2020> better sorted tech and geometry 2022> even better sorted tech and geometry.

I wouldn't pay the extortionate prices of the named place. If you want to pay over the top I would find one at a ducati dealership.

 

I've had an 899, loved it to bits apart from the riding position, found too to arse up and wristy for me. Now got a late 2021 Euro 5 Panigale V4S, as above the geometry is loads better and feels awesome to ride.

 

Why dont you treat it to a few new shiny bits instead then?

 

lol me too on the wheels
sssa conversion?

(get some pics up so we can drool)

 

But it looks sooo pwitty with a sssa

 

Now why would you want rid of that thing of beauty for a bigger uglier step brother?

 

Is that a decal kit or a wrap out of interest?

 

Glad I'm not alone thinking that. Loved my Panigale 959 but was too wristy and hot in the crotch in urban environments.
However, I still miss it. Boy was it fun when used appropriately as designed.
I'm getting the itch to trade the Monster for a V4S.
