Is Ducati paying off all the journalists or is the V4 really that good?

I was thinking the opposite...the Tigers look very well done, but the Ducati looks bland & somewhat unfinished. The white paint probably isn't helping matters.
TBH, the Ducati looks a bit dated already.

The Tiger looks like robot vomit and the Ducati looks like 2030 in 1970s films.

The lower Tiger does kinda look like 'Megatron-as-a-bike' now that you mentioned robots.

The Ducati is supposed to look retro. There's a couple of 2022 bikes with that sort of look

have a watch of this, Cav.

At 3.00 he shows you can pin the throttle out of the corner with the electonics on the lowest level 1 and the bike just stays in line.

He also mentions how you can see what the DTC and ABS is doing on the dash to its easy ti understand to move to the next level if you want more or less control.

That particular clip is very impressive to be fair. It looks twitchy mid corner from some of the external shots. If it looks twitchy off the bike it feels much worse on the bike. I just have a hard time believing all of these journalists as I can believe it's a good bike, but surely not THAT good..
