Ducati Panigale V4 vs Honda CB 1000R Comparison

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.

The Honda CB1000R offers a superb litre-class naked with a smooth, responsive and powerful engine, and being a reliable motorcycle which has everything going for it. With distinctive styling, comfy ergonomics, the CB1000R makes for a solid contender for anyone looking at a reliable and entertaining litre-class naked.
