Yep, I thought my 1260 with the full system was unbeatable as an all-round bike, but my PP with the same set up is just next level. As much as I loved the 1260, I never bonded with it 100%. With this one though, it's absolutely perfect, and I feel like I've been riding it for years. I'm getting giddy at the thought of our upcoming Italy trip, which is now less than 3 weeks away.
This is it isn't it. Although waiting on the PP and I'm on the V4S I still find myself looking for excuses to get out on this bike, more so than any previous bike, love it
That's how I felt when I got my 1260, my first Ducati, after having only owned sports bikes and the more extreme sport tourers (Busa/ZZR etc). I couldn't believe how much fun I could have, without the back and wrist ache! I just wanted to ride all day long.
Yep , the V4s performs all day long , every day and is fantastic . Ducati have made a bike that pulled me off the Gs , and the Gs was brilliant , the V4 is next level .
I must admit, on my order summary, the £450 dealer fitting cost did make me think WTF, as I'd already had my pants pulled down on the cost of accessories. Matters not now as I've cocked. My regular "where's my deposit" call will go in next week, for the third one running.
I have to say, and it’s not just the drink talking, but as I sit here in the garage, this bike is perfection. I’ve had a lot of bikes (over 30), but none of them have hit the spot. Some of them were a Jack of all trades and a master of none (including over 10 GS/ GSA’s). But the V4 Pikes Peak has ticked every box, for me. Performance. Handling. Touring ability. Ability to take any luggage you want to put on it. Embarrass sport bike riders. Looks. Ergonomics. Need me to go on? I can’t think of anything they could have done better. Ducati have achieved perfection this time.
