  1. I'm told about £19k for the base model. But deposit is refundable, so if it all goes wrong.....

  2. I've put a deposit down for a V4 R, let the wait begin, it will be a long one.

  3. Whole big section of the factory is screened off (with high screens too) to stop people seeing the v4 in production, couldn't even see the cold engine testing sections either because of it, so shouldn't be too long. They say it takes them 7 hours to build a bike from scratch.

  4. I really would like to see a gp style exhaust on this. Front cylinders low and rear cylinders high underseat

  6. Sounds epic, bet that will be well muted for the road version :(
     
    • Agree Agree x 2
  7. Oh yes, aftermarket exhaust and it will be epic :p
     
  8. Sounded like a GP bike, awesome but think it may take more than an aftermarket exhaust to get that tone.
     
  9. Sorry to burst your bubble, this was a MotoGP test at which KTM, Aprilia, Ducati, Dovizioso, Lorenzo, Stoner and Bradley Smith were present. No V4 in site. Tests of the new V4 will almost certainly have or are being run at Nardo Ring due to the stricter access, as was the case for early development of the 1098 and 1199. Publicity teaser videos (featuring Troy Bayliss) were shot at Mugello for the 1199, all under as strictly controlled environment.

  10. Yeah old hat that 1199 SL :joy:
     
  11. I'm led to believe this video was made today. MotoGP test finished yester
    day.

  12. Added video link from @comfysofa post. It imo sounds like a real V4-ducati.
     
  13. If that is it, it sounds sublime

  14. That's got to be a wsbk version sounding like that? Surely not a road bike?
     
  15. Incorrect. This footage is from the MotoGP test last week at Misano. No V4 present. Had a friend who was there and only MotoGP teams were present.
     
  16. As I have already stated, you can keep posting this video link but it is NOT the V4 being tested. This was a MotoGP test carried out at Misano last week, where Ducati, Aprilia and KTM were testing. You'll have to wait until September the 7th to hear the engine. Security around the launch is tighter than a drum so I very much doubt you'll see any authentic video footage just yet.

  17. Yes, and a big bang by the sound of it.

    By the way is the road version v4 going to be big bang?
