2 seconds dude, 2 seconds....

"Preseason tests rarely function as marketing opportunities, but when the world’s best throw a leg over a Ducati Panigale V4S, it’s the perfect showcase. Jack Miller, Pecco Bagnaia, Johann Zarco, Jorge Martin, Enea Bastianini, and Luca Marina each rode the road-legal V4S during the two-day test. The best lap time achieved by the Pani was 1:43.3. That’s even more impressive when compared to the 1:41.1 lap time recorded by Ducati’s MotoGP GP21 bike."

So with all the Ducati forum recommended upgrades 851 will be lapping Bagnaia

Totally agree, I marvel at how much knowledge there is available now. When I started it was literally, if you are still alive in year then you made it- here's the keys to your new Z1 :) good luck loser! No one shared anything, either you had it or you didnt.
 
I stand corrected, they were modded

“The Panigale are all stock bikes as you can buy on your local dealer, with additional accessories taken from the Ducati Performance accessory catalogue,” declared Domenicali in a social media post. “Most important are the racing exhaust and the raised footpegs kit. Some added a thumb rear brake. Then add talent and training!”

Jolly, by that logic what the hell happened to people buying honest to goodness sub 100hp bikes and riding the .... out of them. Why does anyone need a 214 hp bike?!
 
Wait a minute. I just read the quote again. Was it 2.2 seconds slower on that day, or ever? as in, whats the fastest a motogp bike has ever gone around that same circuit during a race? They say "it was not a good day it was raining very bad" so if everyone was putting around, 2.2 seconds doesn't mean much.

"Claudio: “There were other MotoGP bikes on the track and they weren’t faster. The track was not good, it rained all day before and also in the morning …” "

When the 2018 bike had the press launch in Valencia, one of Ducati’s test riders (Alessandro Valia) put in a 1:36.

Dovi’s fastest race lap from Valencia a few months earlier was a 1:31

Pretty impressive for a bike that is 1/2 the price of a set of motogp forks

So the 2018 bike is 6 seconds faster around Jerez than a modded 2021 v4s?
 
The point of this discussion is that "mods" do not maketh the rider. A well set up base is beyond the skill level of most hackers, all the mods do is add lovely icing to a very nice cake.

Craig stop being a ......, you're haunting me around the forum like a sunday school teacher. You know what I mean and are being deliberately petty. How about add some value and try to help the OP.
