Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Panigale V4 2020
The conclusion is very easy for me. Ducati has made an "already almost perfect motorbike" even better without changing anything in a negative way. Although riding on the road with this radical fairing probably causes a stir and one or two riders find it uncomfortable, they obviously feel more comfortable with it on the race track. You get a motorbike "out of the box" that resembles a Superbike World Championship bike more than ever. I also believe that the V4 2018 owner is quite capable of improving his lap times with the 2020 version. My tip: if you take care to enlarge the tank or make it more grippy, you could go over the centre even more with your hull.
Aprilia RSV4 RR 2015
The Aprilia has been perfected for the 2015 model year. It is easier to ride, but at the same time significantly stronger and faster. It scores points especially on corner entry with great feedback from the front wheel, terrific handling and lots of grip. The V4 enchants with its gripping sound and buttery response.
