Ducati Panigale V4S

[Cunning]

I picked up my 2018 Ducati Panigale V4S from Millsport on Friday afternoon.

Had the 600 mile run-in period (limited to 7'000rpm) completed by mid Monday morning and is now back in the shop for its 1st service.

I'm not going to even attempt to put the experience into words other than its been the greatest weekend of my motorcycling life (the weather helped a tad too!). The bike is so stunningly beautiful to look at and riding it is just on another level, like nothing I have ever experienced.

I'm in love.....

Part of my run-in route:

Cheers, to quote a review from Bennets:

"the new Ducati Panigale V4S is one of those bikes that once ridden makes you a better human being"

My soul feels nourished

stunning..... just stunning....


to me they are the Ferrari of motorcycles in terms of looks and design, no other manufacture comes close

I imagine even to someone who has no interest in bikes couldn't not love the Ducati.

Stunning bike, this weather is killing me that I still haven't the bike test sorted.

I don't know much about bikes but I could park that in my living room and just look at it all day....

Am not a bike person by any means, but I still want a Ducatti! Health to enjoy! See you made it to my hometown of Dromara in your run in, few interesting roads for it!

Yes mate, was meeting up with @gav525 on his S1000RR and another mate on an Aprillia RSV4, it was a nice convoy around the coast road. Some class roads down your way, Annahilt -> Legacurry is like a mini Glen Helen from the Isle of Man TT lol

 

[gav525]

You're the only person I know to have gone to the shop for your ma and come back with a V4S

Totally jealous, stunning stunning bike. Health to enjoy

The story doesn't sound real to be fair!

Cheers bud, was mega up the coast road with the S1000rr! Look forward to plenty of adventures

Amazing bike! HTR, I think Ducati have played a blinder switching to the V4s.

 

[Scuba Steve]

That is stunning! seen the demo one when i was up getting the GSXS serviced and was hoping to have a go! lol

 

[big-lew18]

Did i spy you this morning between Toome and Ballymena?

 

[Lappintyre]

That’s a work of art right there.

 

[fabiostar]

[MILLER_102]

[mike150]

I'm not that far away from you, let me know if you fancy a run out sometime

 

[Cunning]

Just a wee thread update, almost a 1000 miles on the bike now and first service out of the way, smile is just getting wider. Have had a few early morning empty coast road blasts in Race Mode, my oh my.....

Bike is very confidence inspiring and an absolute dream to ride, there’s no going back from here. Picked up a nice reg plate for it too!

Some photos:

I could be tempted to go for gold wheels....
