2019 V4 vs 2020 V4

tacticalzl1 · Jul 25, 2020

I'm interested to see if anyone has had the opportunity to ride both of these. I'm looking at a used 2019 V4 s Corse and wondering if I should bother with it or just go find a 2020. I am curious to here anyone's thoughts.

The v4 platform is sweet. You will love it. Just look out, thieves love the corse paint scheme.

you should buy a 2020, you can get custom fairings later

If you have to have the colour

I would like to know if there is a difference in seat height or width, i hear there is and the 2019 might be short rider friendly compared to the 2020?

DucatiKev · Jul 25, 2020

These r more my speed. I like colour matches wings!

my 2020 is TALL. You better go for a test ride... or at least sit on it and make sure u can touch.

I can’t back my 2020 up while I’m on it and I usually swing my bum off the seat to flat foot at a red light. I’m 5’9
Seat height comes in just under 34 inches with 500 miles tyre life left... plus it’s wide.

I sat on a 2020 today and I am not flat, flat footed, but pretty close. I am really interested about the changes they made to refine the 2020. I am sure an expert rider could feel the differences, but what about and every day non track rider.

They’re all spectacular. It comes down the the look. WideBody with wings or slender and narrow like a 1299.

Buy one, you’ll love it

Do love the look of the wide body and wings.

The 44 teeth guys on YouTube did a good video of the differences in how the 2019 and 2020 ride and feel, in short the 2020 is more refined and easier to ride in most aspects.

Personally I like the slender lines and more angry ‘twin style‘ character of initial PV4 better.
The 2020 model is too refined for me with its flattened torque-curve and too ‘fat‘ looking bodywork with utterly useless wings for road-use, killing the refined design.
Improved heat management of 2020 model with its shark gills are functionally & nice looking too.

Nevertheless these PV4 discussions are indeed hairsplitting with - for better or worse - hardly noticeable changes if you’re riding one or the other. Especially if you’re comparing cosmetic paint schemas over fairing types between PV4‘s it’s all personal taste!

May I’m too blunt but I hardly notice the few small other technical tweaks, especially on the road...

If you’re in for one, any PV4 is an attention magnet, a looker compared to rest of the world and will steal your heart riding/racing it. <3

I was able to get my seat cut down a little bit and Dave moss adjusted my sag From 10 to 40-50? I cannot remember now. I can now flat foot at red lights so I would not worry about the height imo

I was in the same predicament and I almost preferred the 2019 clean to the 2020 Wings. But in the end I went with the newer model and you can always remove wings or change fairings as others have stated if you want

I've been watching a lot of Dave Moss video, did you meet him in person or use one of his video chats?

DucatiKev · Jul 26, 2020

Dave moss is the man $60-$80 to dial in my 1299S via FaceTime. Can’t beat it... unless you meet him at the track

I was actually planning to do a remote and then I saw he was going to be about an hour away so I just met up with him that week. If you are in Cali he seems To be out and about quite frequently
