Ducati Panigale V4 2023

Ducati Panigale V4 2023

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

For the fact that Honda has actually only announced an update, hardly a stone has been left unturned on the new Fire Blade. Some of the new features are of course due to the new EURO standard, but many of them are really aimed at improving drivability. I am very pleased that, especially in times like these, when more and more manufacturers are withdrawing from the high-performance and expensive superbike segment, Honda is once again devoting its full development power to improving what is already good and thus demonstrating what is technically feasible. Because even if these bikes are no longer affordable for many of us, they still demonstrate the know-how or the technical possibilities. And over time, these will also find their way into the 0-8-15 bikes from which the majority of motorcyclists will then also benefit.

Improved seating position

Rideability very good

Powerful engine

Throttle split gives the rider a lot of confidence

Chassis also suitable for the racetrack in automatic mode
