The Ducati V4 Is Basically A MotoGP Engine

That screamer firing order is the best. I wish there was a v4 on the market that sounded like that.

That's screamer sounds incredible. I would love to hear that sound in Moto GP again one day

Yes!!
A new VR video!
What a great subject, too. The Apollo was awesome- ahead of it's time, certainly ahead of tire technology. A big-ass Ducati cruiser/police bike is still a cool idea, and now that they have a V4, a modern day Apollo would be righteous.
I was fortunate enough to be about 20 feet way from a DesmosedicI RR when the engine was started up. Holy sh*t.
It was the loudest engine I've ever heard on a public road. It shook the ground.
I'm a bit surprised that more motorcycle manufacturers haven't embraced the V4 configuration.

I have a good knowledge of mechanics and engines but your explanations and the documents you present in your videos always teach me something. Today, it was the Ducati apollo 👍🏻

Aprilia v4 next, the best sounding V4 ever made

Ducati panigale really hit it on the mark with this bike. It street legal superbike. It on my bucket list for sure!

Great video as always !

The desmo stradale is probably my favorite engine. I can't wait for V4R reviews to drop since I can't afford one 😂
I wonder why motorcycles haven't adopted direct injection, well at least on the higher end of the market.

Great insight. One correction though. I have the 2019 V4 panigale. It revs to 14k (soft limiter) in the lower gears and in 5th and 6th to 15,500 and 16,000 respectively, leading to a gps proven 194.7 mph at a runway event. All the best. John

Ducatis are art man

Great video. You should've used my sound clip with the CS Racing exhaust though, it's one of the best sound clips out there!

Thanks for another information rich bike video!!!!

Thanks. Very interesting.

Viva Italia. What a machine and makes me proud to be Italian.
Greetings from South Africa and keep up the good work👍🏽

Perfect video.

As always a great video of VisioRacer. I imagine what if a Ducati V8 on a small car.

Great videos as always, I always look forward to them, keep up the great work. I've been attracted to Ducatti ever since I saw a 996 on a music video in high school.
I'd get either a 996 and make it into a naked bike or a Multistrada V2.

Fantastic video! They make no sense but I would love a Ducati someday....

Super Bro. ! Thanks

Perhaps they could do a road going super-mono version, have a parallel twin with twin dummy weights for balancing.

MOTOGP reliability and service intervals too...

The Husqvarna Nuda 900R has 13:1 compression ratio and 10kg or 100Nm linear torque. Too sad that it couldn't rev much higher to get some extra hp, but this monster torque even from the low revs is rewarding. I can't imagine any city bike that can be better than this.

I don't know how to say it but I will just put it plain as toast with peanut butter and a quart of whole milk. You do your homework and then every time put out content that is not only with historical value but today's technology and facts in plain sight and common language for the average person who doesn't know about these things to understand, connect with , and enjoy watching while learning everything you need to know about the subject and then some on top of it. Thanks again for your hard work, due diligence, and fact filled information and tech explanation of today's machine along with the history of the generations before and the improvement made to them to get it where it is today. Good morning, God bless and I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Sunday today. From North of Pittsburgh, Pa USA. Enjoyable and facts as always, Thanks again.

Amazing

That screamer timed engine sounded bonkers

Good video to follow, however Honda did that over 20 years ago on SP2/RC51 with Superbike Support from HRC at $10K to $20K based on options.

Any plans to make a video on the Volvo T5 engines?

I think 2 of these Ducati motors or put in one of those micro jet boats would be friggin hectic! 460hp V8 jetboat (obviously sound isn't going to be that of a V8 unless special headers are made? But very very compact motors and with the ability to share cooling system and other things would make for a crazy fun machine? Or just buy one bike?

Ducati, while making the Superquadro Mono: now what if we make it small enough to fit in a Ninja 250

Make vedio on Volkswagen ea888 2.0tdi engine

❤ Love V4's but I'm inlove with my I-4

NR + RC45/46 + RC211V + RC212V 2007, it turns out that it is the future motor design (now)

I bet Ducati quit trying oval pistons because they couldn't get it to seal (piston rings & oval bore) as well as Honda.

A so-called L-twin is just a 90-degree V twin with the engine rotated. Its a V twin.

My dream is to one day find a way to put two of these together in a single-block configuration, hook them up to a sequential trans-axle and throw them in the middle (back seats) of a Renault 12 shell. Then, I can die happy :|

So this engine is no longer a desmo engine?? Also the crank angles aren’t they the same as the Yamaha crossplane crank?

Ducati 🥰

I put an XL600RM motor on a scale once, I believe it was around 70kg. It's pretty nuts ducati made a 4 cylinder engine lighter than a single.
Also, I am renovating a BMC A series engine, which weighs nearly 150kg for motor, gearbox, etc - and makes 65hp

I wonder if bike companies will get into freevalve engine technology

Ducati V4

Volvo iron knight engine please

Why did Ducati use 1103cc, instead of 1000cc?

Are you telling me that a Ducati really is a Harley with double pistons

✋🏼🇦🇺👍🏼

the KTM 1290 superduke has a CR of 13.6:1

I wish they'd put the V4 into a Monster. The street fighter is too ugly. One of the manufacturers is going to have to lead the way in making naked bikes naked again. They've all got dumb stuff like fairings, wings and fake air scoops now.

all brand motogp engines have pneumatic valves... this motor is not even close.

I have no Problem with Ductai Motor V4
But in World Super bikes , it the best
Motor , if your running all the Extras
On it to get that performance out
Of it , but I am sick of Kawasaki inline
4 being Handicapped because Ductai
Had not won for 10 Years , at last
Ductai have got together , and won
But for the last 6 Years Kawasaki
Have been have Heavy Restrictions
6 Years ago , they were reving the
Kawasaki to 15,500 Rpm , they killed
The Ductai twins , and it really upset
Ductai when the V4 with a 1500 Rpm
Advantage still lost to Rea ( not his
Fault the Ductai rider keeped falling
Of ) so when Ductai Finally one , there
Still a 800RPM Difference , of course Ductai
Should win !!! And now they give a
250 Rpm back to Rea , ( after the dog
Bolted 120 points in front ) next
Year give the bikes same Rev Ranges
And Kawasaki finger arms rockers,
Let see Real Raceing , I loved to be a
Championship Decided by a point
Like 2010 and yes Aprilia beat my
Beloved Kawasaki , I can handle that.
Not this crap !!!!

I have never liked ducatis, the dry clutch always sounds like something is broken on them.

Never did like the V-twins. That dry clutch always sounded like something was broken and the engine sounded like a lawnmower at redline. I'm sure if I rode one it would be really nice though.

Мне нравятся мотоциклы, но мотоциклистов терпеть не могу))

Second

The gp03 wasn’t road legal and with a race exhaust the v4 can hit 235 bhp the difference lies with chasis brakes susp weight, still can’t wait for delivery on a used panigale V4 🤪

Instead of buying a Ducati or Aprilia I think people should buy a Yamaha R1M and build it to their liking since Yamaha produces almost 90% of the sound of Ducati And Aprilia and sometimes Yamaha sounds even better with those pops and bangs . Reliability of Yamaha is way way better thn any European on American bike + the maintenance cost is also very low . Yamaha is best 1000cc bike ever made because of it's Crossplane engine its one of the most legendary non V engine bike ever made.

I had two of them they were pieces of shit and the dealers SUCK! i would never buy one
