Hey all!
I just brought home my new 2025 Panigale V4S about two weeks ago. I've only had one day with decent enough weather to get out and put a few miles on. Roads have been wet or I was out of town or last night was surprise snow. If it's not one thing, it's another.
I also own a 2016 Panigale 959. I've done just a very little bit of carbon fiber additions to the 959. Nothing spectacular. I still need to put an Akra exhaust on before I call it done for that bike.
As for the V4S, I just went back to the shop today to pick up the GP exhaust I ordered. I'll apply a full ceramic coating to it prior to taking the bike in for the install. In a nutshell, the entire bike will be ceramic coated because I'm a professional detailer and I hate dirty. (The 959 is completely coated in ceramic as well. Gloss factor is huge for me as well as protection and ease of cleaning!
I intend to put a lot of "Ducati Tax" into the V4S and will provide pics along the way. As carbon fiber parts become available I'll purchase and install. I have a YouTube channel that, although dormant at the moment, will contain a build series of this bike as well as my other projects and some detailing tips and such along the way. Check out "Direct Action Garage" and stand by for more content!
If anyone else in here lives in Southern MAryland area, shoot me a message. I work overseas but when I'm home I try and get some ride time in!
