V4 Pikes Peak

Agreed... the original was my first choice but wouldnt match the length of the video

 

QD exhaust sound ?

 

delivered today. Tomorrow I'll take it for a ride, and then I'll be able to say something about the difference between a PP 1260 (which I had before) and this one.

 

That looks and sounds awful.

 

Well happy for you , will have mine this week , keep us up to date on how you feel about it , weather permitting .

 

ill look forward to hearing that, still waiting on mine to arrive, March hopefully, currently still enjoying my 1260 Pikes Peak too!

 

I agree, sounds awful

 

That looks bloody EPIC!

 

I got about 5 hours sleep last night, still more than you did, I reckon!

 

Ducati must be short on bikes, didn't even have a V4PP on the stand at london bike show today. Could have lent them mine for a price
Didn't have the SFV4 SP either. V strange

 

Saves me a trip then! Strange as they had on at the Birmingham show

 

Yup. Generally much quieter and less vendors than Birmingham. V strange

 

Agree it was quiet at the Excel Show but I do like the look of the Desert X - could be an option when the V4S is up for changing

 

The week is over. Where’s your bike?

 

Strange enough...I talked to Ducati factory in Bologna and they say they dont have the digital owners manual for this bike yet...

 

Rich , due to a few issues been delayed now until next Thursday , which is fine as now working till Wednesday so weather is shite so , oh well. The reasons are interesting mind you , on PDI inspection the tech noticed a mark on one panel , so warrantee claim made and part issued following day , good , then Tony who does the wrap noticed a few more things .
State of play now , all parts now arrived and wrap will continue on Tuesday , parts replaced are as follows .
Carbon beak , full tank panel , reason that the weave was not straight on the carbon and the tank light panel seemed to have been touched up ( badly) and Tony refused to cover the bike until new panel arrived , fair play to him and the dealer who have push all thro as fast as they could. + 1 for Ducati Worcester.

 

So a £25k bike arrives with shoddy workmanship ? Not great is it !
At least you didn’t do an unwrapping video like some of the me me me brigade…

 

hmm interesting. going to see mine on tuesday in dealers so will have a close up look

 

Here in the Netherlands, salt was spread on the roads last night, so i only rode a few Km today. also checked if my rear bag (Sw-Motech) fits. Judging by the exhaust, the bike is pretty hot. I can't say anything meaningful about the bike right now, keep you posted

 

What do the unwrapping videos have to do with the me me me brigade? Wasnt it some of the members were asking to see? Those negative comments are so unnecessary... oh well
