2nd January 2025

Last issue we got our first sight of the new Ducati V2 engine – an 890cc DOHC non-desmo 90° V-twin, making 115 or 120bhp, but with a new lighter construction, tipping the proverbial scales at 54.5kg. We pondered whether such a unit would be phat enough (he means powerful enough – plain English Ed) for…

10th May 2021

Ducati releases series of videos showing behind the scenes development of the 2021 Panigale V4S ON the face of it, the 2021 Panigale V4 didn’t look that different. A set of carbonio wings, yes, but the rest of the bike looked pretty much as you were. But, the firm had been flat-out optimising and tweaking…

WE PROPERLY love the new Ducati Panigale V4 here at FB Towers. It’s got more power than Donald Trump on a turbo Hayabusa, handles like a dream, and is laden with all the tech you could ever need. There are two downsides though. Firstly, it’s not on the cheap side, especially in ‘S’ form (which…

OKAY, we’ve seen a few things over the years. But this is something else. We’ve just downloaded the specs and pics of the new 2019 Panigale V4R, and we’ve had to go and have a little lie down for ten minutes. Because the spec of this thing is just shocking. It weighs 193kg ready to…

4th November 2018

WHILE we were quite rightly amazed by the Ducati Panigale V4S launched earlier this year, we did quibble a bit at the capacity increase. In a litre bike test, the V4 had a load more power, partly because it has a 1,103cc motor. How long before someone else joined them? Less than a year in…

A test of time, wallet size  and exotica, we pitched Ducati’s GP-inspired Desmo RR against the firm’s decade fresher Panigale V4 Speciale for this month’s cover feature, and it was bloody awesome… Silk sheets, the finest of wines and not even Ron Burgundy’s jazz flute performance can hold a candle to the suave delights of…

For this year’s Sportsbike Of The Year we went to the new (to us) track of Circuito de Navarra, so here’s a couple of gentle onboard laps aboard the (not so gentle…) new Panigale V4 trying to figure the place out! And sorry for the wind noise! Navarra is really awesome, but very tight and…

Finally, it’s here, and although spy shots revealed what it’d look like weeks ago, we don’t care, because this is the most powerful, fully loaded production superbike (probably rather a lot of…) money can buy!
