Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2023

Ducati has managed to improve the performance of the Streetfighter V4 S with specific changes. Even though the performance data have not changed, the rideability has been decisively improved. The big changes could not be expected on a bike that was already performing at the highest level - there is hardly anything to complain about on the current hyper-naked bikes anyway. When it comes to the sound, the engineers have overshot the mark. Regardless of whether the bike is at idle or in driving mode, the Streetfighter V4 S is simply too loud. Especially on fast tracks, the wind pressure pushes the helmet against the nose and tenses the neck muscles enormously, but that's the price you have to pay if you want to ride a naked bike, just as you have to reckon with darkness at night!

Contact with the road feels direct, the dynamics are precise and transparent. Not only in terms of design can this naked bike give pleasure for many years to come, the somewhat outdated basis is quickly forgotten.
