Pros Cons Ducati Panigale V4

Pros

  • High-performance superbike
  • Superlative performance & handling
  • Sharp looks, flagship Ducati superbike

Cons

  • Not suitable for everyday road use
  • High-performance superbike for expert riders

Verdict

The new Ducati Panigale V4 S has that innate quality that makes a 200-plus bhp superbike very accessible and safe around a racetrack. Sure, it's not made for less experienced riders new to litre-class superbikes, and despite the state-of-the-art electronics package, one wrong twist of the wrist can make things go wrong very quickly; after all, all that power and torque over a wide rev range is not to be fooled with, or taken lightly, by any standard.
