I currently ride the 1199S and test rode the V4S this morning at the launch in Brisbane. Great bike, amazing to ride. I’m a track and road rider, no expert however. The only negative thing which doesn’t sound like a negative, is that it felt like I was riding a Japanese bike. Smooth and seamless gear changes and the handling was like I was on an arcade simulator. It just seemed to lack the untamed Ducati feel. Everything seemed perfect which is not the Ducati’s I have come to know. The sound didn’t impress me, I have heard that the computer is programmed at idle to drop two cylinders to sound like a twin and then when in gear it opens up all four cylinders again (smart)
I will keep my 1199S. Oh and I don’t have a spare 40K lying around. It is a weapon though, just seems to lack soul and for this reason I wasn’t tempted to purchase. Anyone else have a similar experience?
