23 Panigale V4R

Yes I believe it fits straight on, feedback from a race team here is that they prefer the older one because they have had some trouble with the smaller one slipping, can't confirm that because i haven't fitted one yet but nobody on here seems to have any problems with it from what I can see.

Thanks Bruce, and on an 1103 bike with slightly less outright power, it could be a good upgrade path (hypothetically)

My 1103 bike made 0.7bhp less than my V4R, at peak power

Same day, same dyno, same exhaust, same air filter, same wheel and tyre (swapped between them)

That special clutch might have got you the missing 0.7 hp

I was thinking of the non-real world numbers that Ducati are quoting for the new V4R (with the £8k exhaust and triple priced oil of course)

Be interesting to see how it compares to 300V.

Congrats… last week I spoke with my local dealer here in California and was told emissions won’t allow the race exhaust upmap to be downloaded to the bike if registered for street use.
