1299s Or V4s

Discussion in 'Wanted' started by Foo, May 11, 2021.

  1. Hi Guys,

    I'm looking to buy my first Ducati and i'm really excited as i've been lusting for one for some time.

    I'm looking for either a 1299s with Akra's, or a V4S.

    Thanks

    Foo
     
  2. V4S

  3. whats the difference between 1299 and V4 platforms ?
     
  4. What's your budget as they'll some different between the two if you're looking at S models for each
     
  5. Nice V4s Corse for sale in the Ducati’s For Sale section :innocent:

  6. i'm swaying towards v4s but i do love twins. Just like to see whats on offer
     
  7. I rode a v4s a few weeks ago, very different to the twin a felt
    Ride one and see!
    Short stroke motor was a bit wheezy at low end, just my two cents
     
  8. im weening off the twins and want to ride something different and love the drone of the v4
     
  9. They’re electronically governed low down. And rightly so. The V4S is crazy powerful. The V4R is a different animal. Over square engine with crazy top end...
     
  10. By an Aprilia v4 you wont be disappointed

  14. I thought I wanted one and as time has ticked by realised I don’t! I’m not interested in racing, just the odd track day. A V4S is significantly cheaper but definitely not significantly slower.

  15. Ha ha ha, I love it when Troy Corser posts in incognito mode !!!!
     
  16. Doesn’t he ride a bmw? ;)
     
  17. I was told today that the latest version is no longer governed, no torque limiting in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Sadly it’s an engine map so not a retro fit for the earlier model nor is the v3 DTC :( Andy
     
  18. Still on the look out, im swaying to a V4 s :upyeah:
     
  19. You may wish to ask your self base model
    or S

    S = road use only
    Base = road and track- but upgrade suspension with Good quality Ohlins / K tech etc with the money saved
