Ducati Panigale V4 S [2018-2019] Summary
The Panigale is Ducati’s supersport offering. It takes on the name of the location where the Ducati factory is at – so the company has a lot riding on the name. However, it felt like the V-twin format had reached the peak of its development, so more cylinders was the way to go. Enter the V4 Panigale, but it doesn’t simply follow in the footsteps of the V4 superbikes before it. Ducati has brought into being a clever firing order that derives the benefits of both a twin and a four-cylinder engine. The result is 208bhp and 124Nm from a 1100cc four cylinder engine, the same as the regular V4. As befits a Ducati, there is a full suite of electronics to aid the rider extract the best lap time. The V4S adds to the V4’s capabilities with semi-active Ohlins suspension, which makes it easier to tune at a track day. It also gets forged aluminium wheels and a lithium ion battery, both weight-saving measures. The information for the rider is displayed via a 5-inch colour TFT screen.
The Panigale has been launched in India and deliveries will begin by July. The first two buyers will get a free seat at the Ducati Riding Experience in Thailand in June. The V4 S Panigale competes with the BMW S1000RR, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, Yamaha YZF-R1M, Suzuki GSX-R1000, and the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade. A left-field competitor is the Aprilia RSV4 RC, another Italian with a similar engine layout, and the MV Augusta F4R, while long in the tooth, is as Italian and desirable as they come.

Crazy looker, don't dare to commute on it

The bike is crazy , it looks gorgeous, the best part is it had a lot of low end torque cuz of v4 set up. The handing is great and the bike is a lot of fun.The are few cons but those are absolutely prominent. Part of the issue comes with the extreme riding position and the maintenance cost which is very expensive, the spare parts service cost everything is expensive cuz it's an italian superbike, but the main problem is the engine heating. If u ride the bike in the city, it will absolutely burn ur thighs, in the city. Don't even dare to ride this in the city cuz this is the bike which heats up the most in the world n it heats up unbearably.

If anyone wants to buy or thinking to buy this bike then he or she shouldn't wait just make his or her dreams true and buy this bike without waiting for a single moment a person only gets a single chance for all the best moment in his or her life.......The riding experience must be awesome, it also have the glam look and the public reaction is the main thing if one is riding in the main road the public reaction will make him or her much happy......

This bike is just a little bit price .Bike is good for racing but not for cruising. The look is 10 out of 10 the performance is awesome it is too sporty too good.As it is a costly sports bike it deserve a good service and maintenance but the cost of service is little bit high compare to other bike but it deserve it. The pros are the pick up is very good quick up and down gear shifting is awesome speed of the bike is mind blowing .Cons of the bike is the mileage and the cost of service and maintenance . Otherwise the bike is perfect.
