Let us try to keep this discussion to Panigale V4. Personally I am not thrilled with the looks but it's clearly a big leap forward in performance.
New Panigale V4 is ugly?

Those are custom made swingarms made by Pierobon, they don't have much in common with the stock swing arm. If SSSA were better they would run them on the GP bikes.

Yep. When sorted more load on the front. CG moves forward. It'll be faster in the end.

Ducati relying on electronics could bite them in the butt. Like Josh Brookes said that it’s kind of a bandaid. Fortunately, Ducati has good electronics engineers in WSBK to tame the bike. Not so much in BSB. You don’t hear of any tests or reviews talking about how easy the new V4 is without electronics

Ducati is dominating in WSBK (aka Ducati Cup) now due to max revs and max fuel flow not bc of the SSSA or significant handling changes

For racing, the standard swing arm is superior because you can change gearing without affecting the ride height. And then that has a cascading effect on trail, swing arm length, CG and handling.

Ok. But CG forward allows more trail so you can get the front loaded with the bike less twitchy.

Everything is adjustable and custom made on a WSBK, and is adjusted for the riders riding style. Triples, frame bushings, swing arms, fuel tanks, shock linkage, everything, only the frame and engines cases are stock.

You clearly didnt listen to what he said in full.
He also said that BMW M/S1000RR Gen4 platforms are developed in a way where electronics is an integral part of the package.
Thats why BMW suck so bad in BSB. But at the same time, they are fine at Isle of Man TT with exactly the same rider.
You take one part of the package away and the whole thing becomes mediocre.

actually I'm wrong I see
https://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/2025/NEW+M+1000+RR+UNVEILED+BMW+take+wraps+off+the+2025+model
BMW have revealed the first look at the new 2025 M 1000 RR machine. It features more power thanks to an engine upgrade, reaching a peak performance of 218 horsepower (up 6hp) at 14,500rpm.
for some reason I thought V4R WSBK revs to ~15000k rpm

I thought all Ducati Panigale V4 owners were old rich white men......., I'm on the wrong forum!
sorry, mass slavery predates the USA as a country...look up Africa and Egypt history...
Actually, in several countries (including the US) there are DEI quotas that directly impact a companies ability to hire meritous persons for a job...just because they are the wrong colour, sexual orientation or religion
