Ducati Panigale V4 2021

Ducati Panigale V4 2021

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.

Clever electronics

Noticeable upgrade to last year's model

More accessible than ever before

Tank is too small from an ergonomic point of view

straight-line driving from 250km/h in the wet

Ninja fans have no choice but to buy the new 10. It is lighter, stronger, easier to handle and yet easier to ride than any other ZX-10R to date. Even compared to the other Japanese bikes, the Kawa presents itself as superior. Besides the European bikes, emotions, preferences for certain colours and shapes certainly come into play.

Extremely precise traction control

efficient braking system

integrated electronics

positive ABS system

high engine power.

Suboptimal transmission - tight gearshifts.
