First two things you NEED to do on this bike: oil sump guard and throttle spacers. They're actually mods you can do by yourself and they make a HUGE difference in terms of safety and throttle response.

Picked mine yesterday! This is the best bike I have ever owned. Love the video ❤️

something about that single sided swing arm showing that beef cake tire just looks soo damn good

I have a Panigale V4S and you guys need to believe it when someone says that beyond 8000 this thing is goes warpdrive on you. For low speed, someone already said it, get the throttle spacers. Same dude also sells heat shielding, which should help a little

If I can remember that throttle play can be removed by getting plastic inserts for the throttle housing to get rid of the slack. *Edit the are called Ducati throttle spacers.

Test rode the Ducati Streetfighter V4S and it’s an amazing bike but I struggled with the riding position, twin sound of engine (and it’s loud at idle which is obnoxious) and it’s bit flat at lower legal speeds. The price is eye watering too. Ended up buying the Tuono V4 factory and I love it, the engine sound, positioning, chassis and torque. Two great bikes, we live in an amazing era of motorcycles

I have had my bike for just shy of 2 years now and I most of the time keep it in sport mode but you can edit the Sport presets so you can have the engine setting to high. Street mode is handy for slow driving around town as it knocks the power down to around 130hp and can be a little less jerky 0-20mph. Race mode suspension is pretty brutal around street and bumpy country roads. It really is best for the track only. I would highly recommend watching Dave Moss's suspension setup for this bike. I felt it made a big difference, handles an absolute dream. If you think the bike is fast now then try and fit the aftermarket Akrapovic or Termi setup along with race map and performance air filter. Man it unleashes a hell of a lot responsiveness and power.

None of the models prior to the new 23 models are allowed to lower the hp. It changes the throttle strategy to allow the power to come on slower but it does not restrict horsepower, which is an addition to the new 23 models.

I think the throttle pause is important so that torque and horsepower does not make it too jumpy at initial tip off.

8:45 You can totally access it while riding, you can also change the settings as long as you don't touch the brakes or throttle just coasting.

You can change the rider modes on the fly. Press and hold the indicator button in untill they come up. Select which one you want, and then press the indicator button again. It will tell you to shut the throttle off for a second or so. It will then change into that mode. I never understand why people are hung up on fuel gages. When the fuel light comes on, the tank has about a gallon left. it also shows on the dash how many miles you've done with the light on. If you look how many mpg the bike is doing, then you can work out what range you have left. Its really quite easy.

Yam, let’s see a comparison of the streetfighter and the speedtriple!

Cool! The Streetfighter is the perfect beginner bike!

LOL! 43 seconds in and I could'nt be happier for Yammie. Maybe the Honda Super Cub should take this ones place and Yammie should just keep the V4.

You can't beat that sound.

Could you do videos where you dissected a difficult to navigate manufacturer's product line? I have been riding for 25 years and I still don't know how we got from the Ducati 900SS Superlight to the Streetfighter V4S. Or what, (if anything), they have in common. How is a Suzuki DRZ400 related to the 650? Why did the Yamaha FZR750 become the OW01 and how did it influence the R6? What is a Harley Dyna compared to a 113 what? What? What? Even Triumph manages to obfuscate in broad daylight how the Bonneville became the Thruxton base model but that it disappeared when the Speed Twin was released. There is a ton of stuff to unpack here and I would like to see YOU produce content that explained motorcycles to the lay-person. KEEP MAKING VIDEOS. Thank you.

V4’s so smooth with torque and horsepower

You said “jeezuuss” i felt that! 😂💀

love these Austin views!

Ducati Spacers might help with the low throttle response, or at least remove the take up lash in the factory throttle tube. There are also ride-by-wire replacement throttle tube kits that improve the power onset. Check with Motovation.

I see yummynoob had to out in his ducati color matching garb for the ride. How fitting.

The Triumph Speed Twin has some dead space in the throttle, and there is a spacer that takes out the slop. I wonder if the Streetfighter needs something similar.

Yammie noob if I hadn’t been a long time follower I would think that you were a paid advertisement by Ducati. Thankfully, I am a longtime follower and I know that you give great unbiased and factual experienced opinions. This review is much needed - because almost every other reviewer out there just is a Tuono fan boy (no doubt great bike) And it’s nice to see somebody who has acknowledged the great qualities of a Streetfighter that you cannot find out unless you had a very long test drive. For example you mentioned how it was very easy to ride around town under 6000 RPM whereas other bikes like the Tuono and the MT 10 would be really darty because of how aggressive their throttle responses are - and I found that to be helpful in my decision making for a future naked. I also loved your analysis about the highway speeds and not any need for a windshield and how comfortable the seat is. Keep the reviews coming 💪🏽🏍

Love my thuono v4. Wish it revved like that rsv4 and ducati. After 3rd gear the bike doesnt want to kill you as much. Wouldnt mind more too end 😅

Thoughts on the V2? I'm looking to get back into riding after a 10 year hiatus (previously rode a CBR600 that always felt a little anemic to me at 6'2/235lbs).

Needs a half fairing so when you cruise at 80 to 100, the wind does not blast you.

Throttle spacer will fix the throttle response you're finding at low speed. It's one of the easiest mods to make on this bike.

YES.

Nice vid Yammer! Hey can you please review the new Royal Enfield classic 350?

I'd love to ride one of these. I have a SD 1290 with all of the usual mods.. I fear that not having 95ft-lb of torque from 4,000 RPM onward as the Super Duke does would make the Streetfighter feel a bit slower on the street.
