Lovely - but it ought to be for £32k....

Might try and get a test ride if my dealer gets one

That's beautiful....but for that much coin it had better be.

This looks good

That's spectacular. I want one in my garage just to look at.

The more I see these the less I like them. The V2 is the far superior bike aesthetically IMO.

the wings look cack and its fugly

Just shows how we all see differently, doesn't it...

Most bikes tend to look pretty good in a black livery, be interesting to see how it looks in a more "Ducati-ish" scheme. Fwiw I'm not sure I'd like the idea of riding a bike that has a built in butt plug at the back if the riding seat.

There was V4S Superlegerre and a standard V2 at caffeine and machine this summer the V4S looked like a pile of Halfords tat and the V2 looked beautiful

Agreed.
The wings look funky & weird...they don't look great but they're not meant to.
They don't look dreadful either... well, not THAT dreadful.
Small price to pay for everything else that looks so good, I suppose.

I wonder if they had to trouble the traction control?

That's astounding when you think about it. Surely any MotoGP team could take the stock bike as a base and find 2 seconds.

The usual lap time is about 1'38/1'39. The track was slightly damp when they did this.

But it's still pretty amazing.
