2018 Ducati Panigale V4S

Does Sharskinz have bodywork for it yet?

 

I wonder why they called it the “Panigale V4”?

It is an all-new bike, why not give it a new name?

 

When the rules are in their favor they do well. They seem to do well in MotoGP, though...

 

Wondering the same.

 

That's why all the GP bikes have them then, right?

 

I already did that argument. The Ducatisticles fumbled for several pages.

 

I wonder who will be the first to do a GP17 style exhaust for it, one out the side and the other under the tail? That should clean up the nightmare of tubing they have to use to make lengths match for the underslung exhaust.

 

16 liter fuel tank. Add a custom fuel tank to your Superbike Racing costs. Silly small tank.

 

1gal of fuel is what? 8lbs?

Gotta keep the wet weight numbers down man.

 

Any word on pricing? What about the 959 Corse?

 

Rumors were not until next year's EICMA

 

David Emmit said that the bike that will race wsbk will come out next year at this time.

 

So what class(es) would this qualify for?

 

Ducati Panigale V4 Speciale, only 1500 limited edition models to be made worldwide, $39,995 MSRP, 226hp with the Akrapovic Titanium exhaust and a whole host of other lightweight and exotic parts, and it's BE-YOU-TEE-FUL!!!! We are only getting TWO of them at Ducati Omaha, so you will need to ACT FAST to secure one! Contact us to make your dream a reality!

 

How long till we get the CBR/GSX-R/ZX-R etc. 1100? Aprilia is almost there...

 

Well Panigale comes from Borgo Panigale, the province of Bologna where Ducati is located if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Panigale will just become synonymous with this sport bike model from here on out. Like GSX-R, YZF, ZX, CBR, etc etc

 

Are the chassis specs available? (caster,offset,trail, etc)

 

It’s just a shame they put those boring ass black wheels on when some nice white wheels would have really “popped” out at you.

 

What about MV, or the success Honda has back in the day with a SSS?

I don’t know what your beef is with Ducati, but using that negative bias to take a jab at a certain piece of equipment that has been successful for many years, with multiple brands, is silly.
