Ducati Streetfighter V4S.. Too Much For The Street???
Hi Guys,
The Ducati Streetfighter V4S has come out of hibernation. After 6 months of gathering dust, it's now time to blow the cobwebs off. A remap of over the standard 200bhp. The question I ask; is this beast of a bike too much for the street??

I have a Street Triple 765 RS. I’ve been looking to trade up. Every video I watch only convinces me more that I should trade up.

In a nutshell the Streetfighter is a great fast bike, but what you have is amazing, but their is nothing wrong with having one for a while. There should be a good second hand market now so just have a year on one. I’ve sold mine now. I paid £17,000 second hand when i bought it and sold it for £16,000 2 years later that’s a small cost for 2 years of smiles. Let me know your future decision. Ride safe 👍🏍️💨💨
The Arrow cans scream, get the fook out of my way. Class, total class.

I like in when you guys keep your speedometer in mph rather than kph. Some of us over here in the us are kinda simple sometimes 🥴.

Subscribed! Just put my £500 deposit down on the stealth. Can’t wait, unfortunately I will not get my hands on it until Aug/Sept. Your enthusiasm for the bike is great to watch. I prefer watching owner videos rather than journo’s. You might want to blur out your speed in the videos if you don’t want to attract the attention of the old bill 🙈

Thanks Leaking Jar, I would go for the Termi if I was choosing now, there wasn’t many options when I bought the bike. I’m happy with the arrows the only issue is a lot of tracks won’t let you on with the DB being to loud. 💨💨💨

I’ve never rode the superduke, it would be nice to compare it. The Streetfighter is a tame bike when it’s in street mode. I guess the problem is finding a demo bike to test ride. I don’t think the dealership has any bikes in.

Inside the city traffic, I feel that the clutch could be a little more smooth. My left hand hurts and I keep chasing (that's a Ducati) the neutral on all stops. Besides of that minor complain, I feel that the Streetfighter 2022 is a true keeper. I'm customizing mine, trying to dark it more. Cheers.

Hey Nilo, I’ve not found the clutch a issue but I’ve had 5 Ducatis now and I guess I’m used to them. Great bikes though, you should definitely try a track day if you’ve not before. 👍
Too Much for the Street? - NEVER. Having sold my FXDR (don't ask) and just awaiting delivery of my new 3rd MS, gone for the V4S Full in grey, due in 2-weeks. I wanted a Pikes Peak but they are saying March 2023 now so I have ordered one anyway. However looking at the this Streetfighter, thinking shall I gat one of them too! Looks awesome and it sounds even better, love those mirrors but they do look like they are handed the wrong way round (left n right swap) :-). Gonna look on Autotrader now............dont think your missus will keep up with the GSX-S when you are on that beast !

I’ve had a re-map on this one and it opens gears 1 to 4 (228BHP it’s claims) it’s fast..💨💨 the mirrors only go one way but know what you mean. It’s crazy about the pikes peaks and will probably get worse now with the way of the world. Go ride a streetfighter V4S it’s a totally different bike.

Have you tried the Pani v4? Unsure which one to get. Won’t be doing track days, but, will be dong some European and long distance drives. On demo drives they both feel very comfortable 🤷♂️ Love the grey Nero livery 🤤

For me in the uk it’s not been a issue, I’m never far from a petrol station. I would of preferred a fuel gauge rather than a fuel light. I’ve mainly used this bike on the track now and it’s amazing to ride and use the full power of the engine. The multistrada is the better choice for todays roads and still an amazing bike. 👍
Nice video 😊 whats the fuel consumption? Average? 7 litres?

I want to buy a streetfighter V4S, the only thing that worries me is servicing costs, can you shed a bit of light on this for me please? 👍🏻

Sure I’ve recently serviced my Streetfighter v4s and it’s really not much different to any other bike. It was around £250 for annual service (oil filter ect) but to be honest Il probably do the next one myself as it don’t do many miles. I’ve done it a couple of times after track days it’s really easy. The valve inspection (Desmo) service interval is 24,000 km or 15,000 miles. Not as generously wide as the most wide intervals in the twin motors, and a far cry from the Multistrada V4’s epic valve service intervals, but not bad. I’m unsure of the cost of that.
