La version V4 millésime 2018 de la Panigale est devenue nettement plus accessible qu'auparavant. Le moteur, combiné au pack électronique, n'est certes pas encore aussi impeccable et stérile qu'un quatre en ligne, mais dans la pratique, c'est une véritable bénédiction pour les Ducatistes - et une bonne surprise pour les pilotes d'autres marques. Mais la Panigale V4 a également surpris par son confort de conduite supportable sur route et par son agréable niveau de stabilité. Le progrès est clairement allé dans la bonne direction. La nouvelle V4 est certes plus puissante et plus rapide, mais aussi plus facile et plus agréable à conduire.

Avec des faits concrets, la BMW peut encore marquer des points en 2015. Si vous aimez les performances de pointe, vous devez acheter la BMW. Elle vire en haut avec une puissance incroyable et distancie le reste du peloton dès 200. Les pilotes grands et lourds pourront en profiter encore plus. BMW n'a pas choisi la facilité avec cette machine et a mis sur pied une moto très universelle. Si l'on faisait un test comparatif avec 50 pilotes différents (du rookie au professionnel), la BMW obtiendrait la meilleure moyenne de toutes les motos de 1000 cm3. Le châssis électronique, mais aussi les aides à la conduite, permettent aux professionnels d'aller vite et aux débutants de rouler en toute sécurité. Une recommandation top pour un groupe cible très large. Les pilotes amateurs très rapides ne seront pas satisfaits à 100% par le châssis de série. Ceux qui ne souhaitent pas modifier le châssis devraient plutôt se tourner vers une R1M, une Panigale S ou encore une RSV RF. Quant à ceux qui modifient de toute façon leur moto, ils trouveront avec la S 1000 RR la base la plus puissante et la plus universelle. De manière surprenante, cette machine à la puissance d'ours se comporte également très bien sur les routes de campagne. Dans l'ensemble, cela ressemble à un compromis, mais dans la pratique, ce n'est jamais le cas.
