I rode a V4S last week and had mixed feelings about it. My last Ducati was a 1200 Multi 11 years ago. I've had two VFRs and ridden two aprilia V4 Tuonos and was expecting that kind of V4 experience, but it didn't have it. Comfort, ergos etc. were great for my crumbling 70 year old bod, and even the insurance quote wasn't a put off. I need another test I think.
