It was approx. $2300. and the dealer installed it for me and did all related tune, etc. I had them add it when I purchased the bike at Ducati Tampa Bay. 👍
I noticed you don’t have the catalytic converter anymore. Did you have it upgraded by ducati? Did you buy just the mid part to replace the cat? I just both the same model I’m wodering how much will it cost me to delete the cat
The dealer put this on for me. it is a factory Ducati upgrade shown on the Ducati Scrambler full throttle configurator on their website. It is the racing silencers that you would want and you can see the pricing there (minus labor). They offer a full exhaust as well but I did not want the exhaust routed up by the seat, so went with these racing silencers instead. They really sound great!
Thanks man, congrats on your SP2.. 🤘You are going to love it! I got the Ducati Horizon X-Lite Modular full face... I just did not have it available for the video, so used an old brain bucket I had in one of my moving boxes. I had no choice but to take a test ride!
Quite a few... Ducati performance tank protector, Ducati tank grip pads, Ducati carbon fiber rear fender, tie down mounts, gas tank protector and several more, will be updating with a new video showing all of these soon!
Hey Chris I purchased a Panigale SP just over a year ago and I love it. I want to add an exhaust and really like the look of your Akra. Your’s sounds great by the way. Do you have the full system or just the slip on cans? Don’t really want to spend the extra $3,000 for the full system if the slip on silencers look and sound good. Thanks
Hey Andy... yeah I went with the full exhaust.. I figured I went in so deep, I might as well go all the way. To be honest, I did not even know they offered Akra slip ons. But I am sure either option would be amazing and really improve the overall sound. Congrats on your Panigale SP. I am thrilled with my bike too!
U still have this bike if so whats the cost for maintenance i want to get one but bike it self is pricey and im sure full coverage insurance as well right ?
Everything about it is expensive, I am not going to lie the purchase and exhaust upgrade puts it in nice car price territory. The maintenance is somewhat comparable to a normal super sport bike assuming you don't need parts. If you need any parts, this is where the main difference is. An oil change kit is around $100 to do it yourself. So that is about the same as any super bike and the dealer does not charge any more for an oil change on this bike vs another super bike. As for insurance, it is not that bad as I am older with a perfect driving record. I have no accidents, tickets, etc. and I am 50 and married... so it is not too bad considering the MSRP cost of the bike. Now if you are 22 have a bunch of speeding tickets or accidents, reckless driving or anything on your driving record then it will be a whole different ball game so it can vary wildly based on your unique situation. I will say I shopped around and here in FL the best rates for insurance for me personally was with State Farm and they offer a multiple vehicle discount, so if you insure your daily driver car and your bike with them, it is less for the bike and car. Not sure if that would be the same for you but that is my experience.
Thanks for the info man appreciated i was planing to look at 1 tomorrow out the door price for one here in cali is freaking outrageous 45k ! Do i need one ? Probably not ! Do i want one hell yea ! I will ask questions tomorrow concerning this bike pretty much everything that comes to mind ! Only thing i can really find here is that those carbon wheels get damage if you hit a pothole somewhere but thank you for the info 🙏 I'll see if i go for it if not another s1krr wouldn't hurt either lol
@@lilboy32367 I am one of those "you only live once" kind of people. If riding is your life, buy it. It is so far beyond anything I have ever ridden, it is just some next level stuff. The level of fast cannot be compared to normal super bikes, it is just on a whole new level. I have had a lot of life stuff going on, but there will be more videos of me on this bike riding the Blue Ridge Mountains this summer. If you do get the bike, think about adding that Akra exhaust too... the sound will give you chills. Coming into a corner hard and slamming the quick shifter down a gear or two and the bike just makes noises you can't hear on anything else, it sounds so pissed off in a good way. In my world, all of it is totally worth doing as you can't re-do life! You get one ride though space on the spinning rock and that's it... life is $45K better with a Ducati no question. Lol. Hope that helps man and I hope you do it. You will love it!! 😎
Lmaoo those are exactly the words i use we only live once ! Haha sometimes but yes if numbers look right ill go for it , this bike stock looks amazing i can only imagine how beautiful it rides n sounds, only thing for me would be exhaust like you said thats it keep everything else stock beautiful machine but will see thank you for the help gladly appreciated i will let u know if i got one or not hahaha.
I ordered the Akra when I pre-ordered the bike so the dealership could put that on for me before they delivered the bike. It is an aftermarket / upgrade part though, not included with the bike. Hope you are enjoying the SP2 these bikes are absolutely amazing!
Hey Shift Koncepts... it is just a baseball hat looking helmet I wear sometimes when riding my Harley Street Glide on super hot days in FL. It is on my gear page here: chrisbigelow.com/gear/ It does not provide protection really, but it was all I had at the moment when the bike was delivered and it was one of those "something is better than nothing" things and I was doing a quick test ride in Florida which does not require a helmet. There are much better options and when I ride the Ducati I always wear a Ducati full face (Nolan / X-lite) helmet and full gear.
You took delivery of your Ducati V4 SP on July 8, 2021. I'm just watching this video on August 23, 2022, but you haven't uploaded anymore videos of the bike in a year? Did you crash the bike? Why haven't you uploaded anymore videos after you received delivery of the bike?
Bike is absolutely perfect, no wrecks luckily! Just been getting settled and moved into our new place (remodel), lots of other commitments for work... but more videos are coming of this bike and the others I have. Been doing a lot of mountain riding with this Ducati and plan to start uploading more soon! Thanks for asking and thanks for watching William!
I can't see myself accepting delivery of a new, Ducati Panigale V4 SP, on a rainy day; unless the bike was being moved from the trailer, straight into my garage.
Omg just caught this video. That’s where I got my S1000RR November this past year Sky Powersports in Sanford by Moe was my sales guy. Looking into adding a Ducati to my collection as well. What do your think about the Brand so far?
The Ducati is absolutely epic and fulfilling all of my expectations and then some. The dry clutch gives a very raw feel that I did not even understand when first buying the bike, it is everything people say it is and the sound becomes music. Ripping down mountain roads into a tight corner and just stomping down on the quick shift and hearing the exhaust note as the engine braking slows me down a bit in preparation to rip the throttle again blasting out of the corner on to the next one is a thing I will never forget as long as I live. The Ducati Panigale V4 SP coming from a 2016 Kawasaki ZX14R SE is a massive upgrade and I am so glad I went with a Ducati for my next bike. You won’t regret it, no possible way a Ducati could ever be a bad decision. ;)
Thanks man. I did not have my full face with me, so that is my FL helmet I wear when riding my Harley. The link for it is at the bottom of this page... chrisbigelow.com/gear/
I’m excited for you broI love how the delivery driver was so gentle giant with that bike the way he put the kickstand down much respect and love my guy you get it
Thanks Brad.... I have that same reaction everytime I pull it out of the garage for a ride. When you are running through the gears with that quicker shifter and no clutch it feels and SOUNDS like a Ferrari! 😁😎
@Spiros Strag Honestly I am not sure... I was wondering the same thing myself as my delivery took longer than I expected for my 2021. Ducati is doing a release of new models right now, I am assuming you have seen that. See this link: www.ducati.com/us/en/home/ducati-world-premiere If you look they are showing DWP Ep. 5 "The Evolution Of Speed" on Nov. 25th so that could be a new Super Bike model or a revamp of a current model. Hard to say... but the DWP Ep. 4 "A new fighter in town" makes me think there is a new version of the Street Fighter coming just by the title alone. First video was the new Multistrada. No matter what you will love your new Ducati ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am sure it does… Rockford knows what they are doing. Have used their gear since I can remember… when I found out they had amps and speakers for bikes, it was game over!
I agree... now if we can just get Ducati to agree..... They like their upsell profits on that I am sure! They might make more $$ on the exhaust than the bike! Lol.
@Tyrone Dallas I had this gear installed at Foss Audio in Tukwila, WA ( www.loveyourstereo.com/locations ) and they did a really great job. I highly recommend them if you are in the Seattle, WA area. If you are not in WA then I would look up on the Rockford Fostage website they have a directory of shops that can install and flash the stereo to work with the Rockford gear. See this link: www.rockfordfosgate.com/dealerlocator/ Then search for motorcycle dealers to find one that can install the gear and flash your head unit to work. Hope that helps!
Thanks! I have been watching that.... they are doing a lot to that bike. I have some mods and other cool stuff coming soon as well. Thanks for watching! 👍
Hey man, I got #105 haha. I guess that means mine is newer! Enjoy it. I put the Termi D184 Black exhaust cause of the deeper and more aggressive sound. Plus it matched the bodywork profile and colour perfectly. Either way, your beasts' power is unlocked and can't be tamed!
Nice, they are like twins! Just one is a few mins, hours, days older (mine)... lol. Awesome on the exhaust I have not heard that one before... I would love to see some pics and videos!
