Ducati Panigale V4 2018

Ducati Panigale V4 2018

The Panigale has become much more accessible in the 2018 V4 version than before. The engine, in combination with the electronics package, is still not as flawless and sterile as an inline four, but in practice it is a real blessing for Ducatisti - and a positive surprise for riders of other brands. The Panigale V4 also surprised with tolerable riding comfort on the country road and a pleasant level of stability. Progress here was clearly in the right direction. The new V4 is stronger and faster but also easier and more pleasant to ride.

Powerful engine with charisma and great manners

Pleasant upper body position (compared to other supersport bikes)

In the V4 sufficiently dimensioned chassis for the country road

Powerful but not intrusive sound

Good wind protection

Seat gets warm especially in city traffic

engine / clutch seems a little rough in tight hairpin bends.

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2009

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2009

Euphoria spread through the long bends. The Triple is a bit more expensive than some Nippon Nakeds with cheap chassis and you can feel it. It remains stable, you can open the throttle hard and you hit the line exactly.

More power

increased torque

reduced weight

agility

greatly improved geometry

precise and fast.
