had a hypermotard 950 and it was throttled to 45 hp. found it boring after a month. I have now bought a streetfighter v4s and am waiting for it to be delivered. 6 more months :(
Great videos man keep it up! I'm from MI originally, in socal now. Looking to upgrade to SF V4S shortly. You have a strong Michigander accent lol, sound just like all my family from Dewitt.
Thanks I appreciate it! Its an awesome bike you wont regret it. Would love to move out of MI. Although I don't think the accent would ever go away LOL.
Man, im rebuilding a streetfighter V4S right now. The DJI osmo Action 4 is 10 times better than a GoPro. I've had the 5, 6, 10, and 11. They dont compare to the DJI.
@@charlesbatsold31 I can answer you that. Every bike can kill you if you behave like an idiot. Heck you can die if you fall out of your bed and land badly for example. Point is if you start out with a bike like the H2 you respect it more. You know what it is and what it can do. Sure with a less powerful bike you can pull the throttle to the maximum without having to fear to break speed limits. But eventually you can get too confident, too fearless. Which can be more dangerous when you switch to a more powerful bike. In short: with a smaller bike there´s more of a chance to become more reckless. With a higher powered bike you start having respect for what it is. And btw an idiot should never ride a bike no matter the age or cc. Have a nice day🙂
@@charlesbatsold31 Go to Asia and see how many superbikes are being used by beginners. Majority of them have been on a motorcycles but they still buy liter bikes. It is dangerous when you ride carelessly. It has never been because of a bike.
There is a low fuel light that comes on. My understanding is you have about 20 miles (32 km) after that comes on to refuel. I use my trip 1 and reset it every time I fill up. I know I am getting low after 75-80 miles (120-130 km) of riding. Its always a guessing game.
Great review, I got mine from Motor City Ducati and same, Service advisor called me and said I had a "nail" in my rear tire when it was at its 2nd oil change so that was 800 bucks. its running flawless otherwise.
Have you ridden the Diavel v4? I’m torn between the two. Position is great on both BUT cruise control, larger tank, fuel gauge, keyless control, launch start, even more comfortable positioning, WAY better for a pillion…. I think I’ll be going Diavel v4
Let me ask you. That orange indicator in your display when you first accelrate in the beginning of video. Meaning what? Cant see it when you accelrate later in video. Asking because I just bought a SFV4 and noticed same thing
I believe you are seeing the RPM Indicator. Its sort of like a shift light built into the RPM counter. You dont see it later on in the video because I am in a higher gear and shifting early before the light comes on. I hope this helps.
No regrets! I love the bike! Still has been flawless! Personally no I wouldn’t upgrade to the v4s. I only ride on the street and I don’t think I can even get close to being able to tell a difference.
I’m curious about the clutch. I have heard you can do the SP2 dry clutch upgrade on the V4. Does the V4 come with a “standard” dry clutch that can be upgraded to a different material or is it a wet clutch?
@@CerealCityGarage yeah that’s what I thought. I see absolutely no advantage to the dry clutch. 1) it wears faster 2) it’s really expensive. For a street bike I feel like a wet slipper clutch is going to offer the best bang for the buck.
When I'm in a 75 mpm zone and the road is relatively open, I do 90 in our Odyssey. Nothing unusual about that. Hell, in West Texas, I've cruised at 100 or so.
I has a 22 v4s with 10800 kms now and I’ve changed the oil 4 times already I changed oil so many times because I have the clear clutch cover and I like to keep it clean. Yes I agree with you it’s a gas 🐷
Street Fighter rotfl, known elsewhere by non pretentious people trying to sound cool as a Naked Bike. Make videos where you go out street fighting with your street fighter!
Florida man here I’ve had a zx10,,zx14, mt09 , sv650, I feel like the all got hit especially just being in Fla lol. I’ve been looking at the monster plus, not you got me looking at this ! I stopped riding for a while cause of back aches and got into cars . Looking for something I can sit upright in but still be a sport bike and be somewhat comfortable . 5”7 as well so I’ll have to check out see how this feels
Nice one! I would appreciate it if you could share some opinions about the following questions. 1. Is V4 more than enough in terms of daily commute? V4S seems to have a better break system and suspension, but also comes with a higher price. So.... 2. I heard there's no fuel gauge on it, does it bother you sometimes? 3. Would you recommend this to a beginner? Thank you :D
1. Ive never been on a V4S but, Ive also never felt like I was lacking anything on the V4. So my opinion is if you are using it as a street bike get the v4. If you are using it as a track bike get the V4S. 2. That is correct there is no fuel gauge. Doesn't bother me as much as I thought because I just reset my trip when I fuel up. After 2 or 3 tanks you learn how many miles you typical get before the fuel light comes on. 3. I personally would NOT recommend to a beginner. Yes it has low power mode but we all know sticking to riding in that mode isn't as easy as it sounds. The V2 is a better beginner option if you must have a ducati streetfighter.
1. V4 is more than enough in terms of daily commute. The V4 is actually the better track bike than the S, the soft suspension on the S isn't great for heavier set riders but works great for street damping. The brakes are identical. 2. No fuel gauge is no issue, I typically fill up when the light gets on but have run it 30mi or so with the fuel light on. 3. As a first bike? No. As a second bike? Sure, for someone who knows how to respect the throttle and their life. Electronics will keep slide/lift in check, but it's easy to pick up too much speed for a corner. Disagree with OP on the v2 being a better bike for a beginner, it's still 155hp. Skip the v2 for the V4, it's a comfier and easier to ride bike.
Fellow MI sfv4 owner. 2023, also from Ducati Detroit, with 2500 miles so far. Only issue I had was that (sub 600 miles) the stock exhaust butterfly actuator/cable was out of adjustment in 2nd gear only. No power above 5k in second which was very odd. Fixed under warranty during the 600mi service. One thing I do like about the 2023 is, despite there still being no fuel gauge, there is an automatic fuel trip odometer that pops up on the display when the low fuel light comes on. However, I've never been able to put more than 3.3 gallons in the tank, even after the light has been on for 10-15 miles. I think the light is a bit preemptive, but thats better than overly optimistic I guess. Not sure if the pre-23 bikes have that, but I hear so many people complaining about the lack of fuel gauge; that auto trip odometer somewhat makes up for it. Thanks for the vid. Maybe we'll run into each other.
Ive been pretty lucky to not have any issues with mine. My 22 does have that F Trip when the light comes but, like you said it seems very preemptive as I also never get above 3.5 gallons or so. Safe riding!
@@armanterrell7215No joke. Most of the roads in TX are wide and straight. I ended up moving to Nashville TN last year and the roads here are really twisty. Way nicer than in Texas.
I have the same bike and exhaust but with a stage 2 Brentune. How’s your idle? Mine is pretty rough and I’ve sent them videos and complained but they tell me there’s nothing they can do and it’s not their tune, ran just fine with stock exhaust.
My Idle is pretty good. Sounds a little rough on cold start but nothing that has made me question the tune. Once the bike is warmed up it idles like stock. No issues at all.
Hey 👋 I’d really love to see a more detailed video about the exhaust. I’d like to see it from different angles, is looking good on the SF and the sound isn’t bad at all too.
