V4R Rumors for 2022+?

Yeah Johnny wasn’t whining about anything when he won those championships. I don’t recall the Ducati or Yamaha riders complaint about anything other than needing to work harder to beat Rea. Honda isn’t even playing the same game, so losers.

It’s the damn rider Johnny, not the bike. If it was the bike, all the other Ducatis would be running with Alvaro, but…, they’re not. Yes the Ducati seems to be faster on top speed, but only on longer straights when Alvaro gets the drive out of the last corner right. Even then, Toprak can pass him on corner entry. Alvaro has to work hard to get the Ducati just right on the last exit.

Bottom line is that Johnny is still a great rider, but has been passed by better riders matched to their bikes. The other Yamaha and Kawy riders are “also rans”. Honda, well Honda…
 
Its creating a bike for a world championship against a set of rules that are the same for everyone.
1) if you want a umpalumpa rider then get one
2) if you want a demon on the brakes then get one
3) if your engineers build a engine that is very powerful then get one
4) if you want a whinging aggressive riding sore loser then get one
 
Well now maybe Ducati is waiting as BMW announced the new M yesterday (man that bike has some wings "not chicken"). It looks a little like the Aprilia GP bike :cool:
 
I think the current V4 R wings generate more downforce? I thought the loops had some safety reason but could be remembering wrong.

Not sure what the SLV4 wings do in terms of downforce

Wow. The day right after BMW announces their new M bike, Ducati finally releases a date for its event. Did they really wait just to be the last?
 
Sorry guys no V4R for 2023. It’s just V4 30th Anniversario 916 2.0

God I hope you're wrong. I don't want another "special" model. Let's just see the R.

WTF is that black stripe down the middle? That is not what a "1" is supposed to look like.

It’s the same line or 1 on Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak
