Which Ducati V4 do you plan on buying?

Approaching the close of 2021, and me being optimistic about my financial situation in the next two to three months, when things finallly come to fruition, I think a Panigale R will suffice. If the check isn't as big as I anticipate, I'll get the regular Panigale if there's room. I know this is a Ducati forum, but my purchase plans have it third on my list. Just keeping it 100 with the community. I'm not wealthy just yet, so I have to make sound financial decisions.
 
Eventually I'd like to try a R model, but I feel that I need to get the track skills to make it worth it first.

Having had the opportunity to back-to-back the R and the base at COTA, I think I prefer the 1103 motor. Other’s mmv of course.
 
Hi..as V4s 2020 owner..I’m thinking of taking 2022 model..but is there any news of whole new 2023 model or it will just updating current model?
 
Way to early to tell. That being said, the last days of old tech are better than the first days of new tech. I don't know if its worth a jump from a 2020 though. On second thought, I really don't think it is.
 
Hello Everyone. New to this forum. Not a Ducati owner yet but I put my order in for a new 2022 model. Fingers crossed it becomes a reality for me. The model I chose was a Panigale V4 SP because I really like how this bike looks in black. Also several 2021 bike shootouts raved about this bike. But I couldn't find one so I jumped on the list for a 2022 V4 SP2. I currently have a 2005 zx10r which I'm nuts about, but I've always drooled over the original 916 but couldn't afford it. I feel like I've come full circle.
 
Ducatis are expensive toys, always keep that in mind just T-O-Y-S and whatever you spend on them you will probably never recover especially if you bling it out. Buying a bike is a really bad financial decision, not only will it cost you a lot to buy, finance, run etc, you also have the risk of hurting yourself thus curtailing your finances somewhat!

I strongly suggest buying house in the current market instead if sound decisions are important, bikes big exotic sportsbikes are about passion and a bit of madness so you'll fit right in if you spend that bonus on an R!

This statement is true. And for sure you will fit right in if you get the bike…. But with the way economy is going having anything’s that’s fun just not a great financial decision even fun cars right now are bad choice used your paying about 40% more & new your at the will of the dealer mark up. Houses marked up!!! Not good times right now.

Lets put it this way, real estate has made a lot of people very wealthy, but if you don't understand the market stay out. Its boom times for real estate and only going one way in any kind of place that's worth living in, just depends on whether you want in?
Any day of the week property (good property) is a better investment than a bike but maybe you don't own any houses?
 
Dude...When did I ever say or suggest that buying a bike is a better investment than buying a house? When did I even write that a bike is an investment? This .... is why people are generally aggravated with you.

The market absolutely sucks for buying a house right now. Decent properties, not flips, are going for well above asking price. In fact, I'd go as far as to say right now the asking price is the starting price. People are pissing away their savings and pillaging their retirement funds to come up with the cash since a bank isn't going to float $25k over appraisal for a house.

New construction makes more sense since you don't get sucked into a bidding war, but in my subdivision the starting price for a new home has went up over $40k in one year. I bought right before OSB went to $75 a sheet. That's right. I bought a house, in the same year as my 2021 Panigale V4S. You epic troll.
 
New development build for me. Escrow 2/21.
3/22 builder grade price = 190k higher for same spec home in 13 months. This is base price before upgrades. 190k! That mixed with almost 1.5% higher interest rate than my 2.5 early last year. I almost hesitated in buying but the low interest rate convinced me to buy. Glad i didn't wait another year thinking I'll save up some more. Woulda been out of my price range now. That or i woulda had to settle for builder grade with no options. And who knows how much my 185k "upgrades" woulda cost now. Maybe 225-250.

This .... ^^ is why, you act like an absolute muppet sometime. You dish it out but you can't take it. Lets agree to disagree on the housing market, I have a different view on it.
