V4 Pikes Peak

That looks great! Did you have a 1260 before?

 

No , I had the V4S and before that a 1250 Gs , I did have a 2010 1200 s at one point. This new bike is fantastic even in the wet , the Ohlins are smooth even in sport .

 

No worries , like to ride my bike most of the year apart from when the roads are salted. The different colours are fine with me as the rest of the bike is brilliant ( so far ) lol.

 

That is so the Americans know which side is left and right
My dealer also said the red bars on the wheels are so they know if it is moving or not!

 

Not a chance, to illiminate this particular deficiency will require far more........

 

Bike looks great. Well, it did! I'm glad it's lived up to expectations.

 

Cracking bike. Enjoy. Glad you are using it regardless of the weather.

 

Clean now and first bit of damage , well as my late mate said , it’s all downhill from here .

 

Looks stunning mate. I’m hoping Evotech release the engine guard soon, as it’ll stop a lot of that tar peppering the engine.

 

I will give it a detailed clean on sunday , on the V4s I had a fender extender and that worked very well , not available yet for the PP carbon front . pity as it was effective . Well spotted by the way ( tar spots) toothbrush and tar remover next...

 

Definitely a contender for the world's longest number plate holder!

 

Get some Gyeon Q2M tar remover. Spray on and it’ll dissolve the tar, no need for a toothbrush.

Btw, has your dealer said when they’ll have your full system in stock?

 

Are there already kinks in the rear wheel?

 

Kinks? Looks like a couple of stone chips to me.

 

I was already provided with the Digital owners manual for the Pikes peak v4. https://ducati.my.salesforce.com/sf...V/Vn6HNnpY7joMVV0pQIipDtm0DOOXgIhxu8QGvAwReJY

 

Yes can be that...but How come it makes that much damage?

 

Excellent, thanks for posting.

 

That’s our shitty roads for you. So annoying when that happens on a brand new bike, but a touch up pen will hide any chips.

 

Just been to have a look at one at my dealer. I’m impressed.

 

Amazing what a bit of paint and a smaller set of wheels can do.
Only a year or so ago you were berating Ducati and calling them out for chasing profit and saying how ugly the V4 was.
You’d never sell the 1260 etc etc.
Yet change the paint, stick on some 17 inch wheels and suddenly it’s the best bike in the world, there’ll be unveiling vids and the 1260 is history.
You remind me of a vain and rather narcissistic guy who used to be on the GS forum and changed his bike every 10 minutes and used to berate others for not painting a panel black to match the rest of their bike.
He left in a huff after being called out for being a selfish p****
Though to be fair, the guy that called him out was an even bigger p***** !!!
