Oh yeah. Just got delivered today. My first 5 miles on it warped my brain. Still recovering. Lol. I had a customer call just as I got my helmet off. He asks: Are you alright? Lol. I was so winded I could barely utter words. Then roll right into utility compliance issues for his car shredder. Lol.
Anyway, 2023 V4S. It has the factory magnesium wheels, Akra high mount full titanium exhaust, dry clutch, and, of course, all the little extra carbon bits. Ducati lists HP, with this exhaust, at 228 and dry weight at 386 lbs. The exhaust drops 11 lbs and wheels drop around 2 lbs-ish (no real hard data on that). So figure, dry, it weighs 373 lbs??
It is an absolutely rocket ship. My last “fast” bike was the 2012 Pani S. The V4 is several orders of magnitude more {insert everything}.
As I get more miles I’m sure the sensation will temper.
My Hypermotard also. She’s in the midst of an extensive brake upgrade.
