Neevesy answers questions about his long-term test bike | MCN | Motorcyclenews.com

"As we sit here in May 2020... is just a shade under £20,000... an incredible amount."

Now £23.5K in 2023. Disgusting. Rip-off Britain strikes again!

Another great review, definitely you’re one of my favourite motorcycle journalists, useful in depth information told in a calming way.
Don’t panic I have a wife 😉

The reason it does not wheelie is because the first 4 gears are power limited also there is a throttle body limiter set in tune only way to unlock the mental power is a tune.

Yes, the "terrible" virus that wasn't at all overblown for the sake of power and profit.

I have wings on my supernaked kawasaki and I haven't wheelied it at full throttle :).... they settle the bike a bit...

Ducati missed it big time with this bike.. super naked should be a crazy hooligan bike fun fun and more fun not lap times… that’s what superbikes are for..

Every time I sit on my Streetfighter it's an event. Just moving it in the garage slows time & space.

I’ve had my streetfighter V4S now a little more than 5 months , it replaced my Yamaha MT10 SP which was a great bike , I don’t do wheelies, the Yamaha had other ideas and they weren’t predictable , sometimes it would sometimes it wouldn’t and usually it would when you didn’t want it to like overtaking a car for instance. The streetfighter is totally predictable in that area just loads of forward motion exactly how I like it. Build quality is just on another level and like neevsey I just keep looking at it, fuel consumption is worse, I’ve had to buy a small petrol can on our trip up to Yorkshire later this year. I absolutely love my streetfighter in all other respects apart from no cruise control. Is it worth the money? To me yes.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes - The Tuono! Like your reviews so much, thank you.
And if your are riding Germany, I can show you a lot more than the Schwarzwald 😜🏍

As always a terrific real-world review. I remember you were a very big fan of the orignal Streetfighter 1098....very different animals but in terms of smiles per mile for the road, would you ever feel like you were missing out on this vs the original streetfighter?

The Scamdemic is fake everyone!

Can you tell me what you got to a tank of juice before the light came on , riding it like it's meant to be ridden .

I bought my last bike based on his review.

It’s Strange, I’ve not seen any clips of the Ducati wheelying.

Do u feel sleepy? Grandpa style review so passive lol

Would you buy this or s1000rr for both road and 3-5 trackdays/year use? They are about the same price. How about reliability of this ducati?

Does the quicker work properly? I rented one, but it had quite a lot of mis-shifts in higher gears under quite some throttle.

No one doing better reviews on line, thank you Micheal for your insightfully evaluation, honesty, and integrity. I do take your opinion to the bank. Be well. Cheers.

really nice review, thank you

No led headlight yet on tuono

Ducati or Tuono?

this terrible virus... you mean this terrible government...


ONS figures tell the story. 9/10 of all deaths had serious life threatening conditions already.

they should have locked down the vulnerable and let the strong carry on!

Sir! Tuono Factory or V4S?

Great review. What model Alpinestars Jacket were you wearing with that full speed hump

The Ducati is lovely but after listening to your review I don't see me selling my MT10 to buy one. Isn't part of buying a super powerful naked that it is wheelie happy and slightly scary to ride?

I’d give my left nut if they’d put cruise control on it for the upcoming year. 🙏🏻

I can't afford one but I don't complain about the price. Rich folks need motorcycles too. : )

I man you gained my respect, tank's for the onest review

Bottom line....it sounds like Ducati wanted to have the bragging rights to “ The naked bike with the most horsepower” but they couldn’t make a bike that could HANDLE the most horsepower so they gave us “TORQUE MANAGEMENT” for the first several gears. I wonder if they “MANAGED” the torque on the Pikes Peak bike.

Hopefully if this bike is successful enough it'll encourage them to make a V2 Streetfighter. The V4 is great, but aside from the high price I still want the twin soundtrack.

might not be a question how much priced is it over the diavel as in thailand both cost nearly the same which inturn will be same in india 🤔🤔🤔

Neevesy 💕 ducati no doubt

Bravo Michael, super review! thanks

Decreasing torque maps to prevent wheelies . A V4 engine which is much smoother and more civilised than the twins. A more sanitised V4 panigale for 2020 too.. Is this the Audi influence by any chance? Going to spoil the brand.

So basically its a bike for yuppies and the elite.

“Even when you’re doing 100mph on the road... On a private road obviously” Nice save 😆

BIKE has BEEN PHENOMENAL!!!! Especially with the full Akro Titanium Race Exhaust and up-map 220-HP !!!

Move to Miami, we have been riding everyday with 0 traffic!!!

So the wings only come into play at really high speed and your body position will probably make just as much difference and at those speeds you will by hanging on against the wind. Price: all the fancy stuff is the same as a Tuono which can be bought for £7k less and then you have a proper V4 but have to put up with switch gear made in toytown.

Amazing - Nice one Neevesey. Sound is perfect, great video. Spot on.

Great review! Experience says for itself. The only "slippery part" of this review is sentence about ducati build quality being better than Aprilia build quality.

I find this bike to be pointless. Monster makes more sense

Very enjoyable video, both interesting and informative. Thanks MCN.

Hope that lower rad is higher than them French kerbs Mick! 😉

For 20k I would like dry carbon front hugger and wings. Also needs a painted red seat cowl cover feels like a lower spec 848/899 ect vs the 1198/1299

What jeans are you wearing in the riding clips here sir?

Ugliest Ducati ever, I think
In fact most bikes in this class are mingers, apart from the Tuono
