2023 V4R info to keep in mind

Every dyno reads differently… then there’s correction factor, weather, da, tyres to name a few variables. Point is that peak dyno figures are irrelevant.

Nice to get a ballpark figure or to compare back to back mods on the same dyno and weather, otherwise comparing power figures to other bikes on other dynos is pointless since the ~2-5% difference will be mostly due to the factors above.
 
Its OK ive found the missing horses, Astra from Texas had them!!😅

I want to share a truly incredible story. This past '22-'23 CVMA season, a new amateur class rider showed up on a 2019 Ducati V4R. This was his very first track bike and his first racing season, but, nevertheless, he had (absurd) ambitions to rapidly improve, move to expert class, and do some MotoAmerica races within a year! Okay, cool, good luck with that. Well, he got taken out in his first ever race but was back for the next round with a plate in his collar bone and other stuff still not healed, and the most patched together bike self-repair job you have ever seen. From there, he rapidly improved, turned expert for Rd 7, and got some expert points thereafter from other orgs. And this past weekend, he did his first MotoAmerica round at Brainerd, and got a 12th and 11th place in stock 1000 class, on this same 2019 V4R that has been crashed and repaired no less than 4 times, and I can guarantee that his geometry and setup is far from optimal, haha. Dominik Gajda, #921.

The point is, anything is possible if you follow your heart and don't listen to naysayers and critics. It is okay to be driven and exceptional. Its okay to race and repair a Ducati V4R. If you want a V4R, get one, push it hard, and have fun. I ride a 2019 V4 base model, which I think is an awesome bike and a great value, but the 1103 engine limits me to "formula" classes. I am thinking now that my next race bike will be a V4R, to keep my class options open, and I also think it will be wild to have so many revs on tap.

Heart touching, going to cry a bit
 
Has anyone noticed that the U.S. 2023 V4R has a 6th gear restriction. Its limited to 15,500 in 6th gear?

That for marketing to Ducati fanboys…higher listed top speed for YouTube and Insta reels…no real world or track application.

One of the tracks I go to is similar to Phillips Island in layout with long high speed sweepers and long straights. There’s nowhere you are peaking out the rev limiter in 6th gear.

I think sixth gear on my bikes is as fresh as the day I bought them.

The most I’ve done is an indicated 275kph (just over 170mph), in 5th on the main straight at Most (not sure how long that straight is, but I don’t think it’s all that long). There were plenty of RPM left befy6th would have been needed. I assume you are not using standard gearing.
