2018 Aprilia RSV4 RF Vs. Ducati Panigale V4 S – Part 2: Street

Опубликовано 9 октября 2018, 3:52

On the racetrack, the fight between the Aprilia RSV4 RF and Ducati Panigale V4 S was so close, it resulted in one of, if not the, closest shootout in Motorcycle.com history, with the two protagonists separated by 0.2% – two-tenths of a percentage point! – on our scorecards. On paper, anyway, the Ducati emerged victorious for a track tool, but it was only our racetrack ringer, Shane Turpin, who ultimately picked the Panigale V4 S – and its $4k heftier price tag – as his weapon of choice. Meanwhile, both Tom and I would elect to save the extra dough and be perfectly happy with the Aprilia – despite what the scorecard says.

For part two of our V4 face-off, we take the two Italians off the track and see what they’re like to live with on the street. As we often see when comparing motorcycles on both the street and track, things we’d often miss or consider non-factors in one environment become major talking points in the other. This is especially true in this case, and our overall scores reflect an even tighter finishing order because of it!
