Fun bike!
My last bike I had was a 2014 KTM RC8R. I loved the v twin.

Smart choice!!!Pure sex.
I want another bike...wife said racecar or bike.
I'm in the process of putting the GP4X on the Hyper at the moment. Still a little bit away. Once I get them done and commissioned, I'll let you know my thoughts between the two. I always felt the Hyper lacked hyper brakes. PRetty sure I've solved that.Brembo GP4RX nickel plated calipers? How do u like the stock STYLEMAS on the v4s? BST has some great CF wheels for it!

Yeah, but back then we didn't have the electronics these new fandangled kids have today. Without those riders aids these bikes would be utterly useless.My god that's sexy! I'm still sitting here with my 2004 ZX-10R, can't imagine 30-40lbs less and another 50 hp.
Dude, this was the exact thought before I went after the Duc. I wanted to build a high end Busa. That is an awesome fricking bike. Congrats.how would u feel about 600hp on a 500 pound hayabusa? With a multistage engine driven lockup clutch(streetable). I JUST completed a set of brembo gp4rx billet calipers myself. brembo corsa corta master cylinder and custom lines. Carrazzeria rims/ with a mcintosh alumipro swingarm. Garrett GTX4088 turbo.
Yeah, seat height is a challenge on these. My wife, 5' 7", can do it. She does the ol' slide the ass of the seat method. I'm still nervous as hell with her doing it though. A small drop on that would be costly. lolStunning. I would love a hypermotard. Wish the seat height was shorter. My old man hips don’t move like the used too.
Yeah, add-on. Retails for $8200. Plus 10 hours of labor to install. I've done lots of exhaust installs on bikes before. I watched a youtube vid of the process to install a full exhaust on the V4... Uhhh, hell no. And twice on Sunday. I'll gladly pay a trained professional for this torture. You nearly have to split the bike in half to get that shit on.The exhaust was an add on.. That set-up is 10K No?!
Auguri!!!
We shall see. I'm, technically, supposed to be beyond the age of caring about that sort of stuff. But somehow I am defective.Beautiful! Not many bikes out there faster than that from what I've seen, outside of the H2 of course. Watched a video where a bunch of guys were running all the new top bikes from BMW, Ducati, and the others and the Duc was the clear winner each time. Was surprised to see the BMW get beat by the Duc as well.
I loved the RC8R. What a cool machine. Before I got the hyper I was gonna chase the Super Duke 1290. Got deal written up, etc. Then did research on installing factory aftermarket exhaust and tune. If headlights and turn signals are present, the ECU won't let the bike start with the factory race map. I would've needed to cut apart wiring harness for headlight and turn signals and put in an off-delay timer to trick the ECU. No spank you...Fun bike!
My last bike I had was a 2015 KTM RC8R. I loved the v twin.
Sick ass bike man, don’t worry about the messy garage. Be careful about the grassy edge line @03cobra#694Another view. Can see Hyper all tore apart in background. Sorry for the messy garage!! Lol

That is rowdy. The RC8R was hugely underrated when it first debuted. Such a shame.That's wild! I installed a jester race pipe on mine, (Jester68 – Performance Parts), luckily didn't have any wild tuning issues like you would've. It was a fire breather.
Just remember, when you ride that. Save some poosay for the rest of us.Thanks for the kind words all. Certainly feel very fortunate and grateful for everything. This is the only place I’d share something like this.
Oh yeah. Just got delivered today. My first 5 miles on it warped my brain. Still recovering. Lol. I had a customer call just as I got my helmet off. He asks: Are you alright? Lol. I was so winded I could barely utter words. Then roll right into utility compliance issues for his car shredder. Lol.
Anyway, 2023 V4S. It has the factory magnesium wheels, Akra high mount full titanium exhaust, dry clutch, and, of course, all the little extra carbon bits. Ducati lists HP, with this exhaust, at 228 and dry weight at 386 lbs. The exhaust drops 11 lbs and wheels drop around 2 lbs-ish (no real hard data on that). So figure, dry, it weighs 373 lbs??
It is an absolutely rocket ship. My last “fast” bike was the 2012 Pani S. The V4 is several orders of magnitude more {insert everything}.
As I get more miles I’m sure the sensation will temper.
My Hypermotard also. She’s in the midst of an extensive brake upgrade.

Perfect.
I hope to get an early V4 pani some time. Congrats.
One day my balls will drop and I'll get a motorcycle.
The power doesnt concern me. It's the others on the road that worry me. I'd only do something like a shadow/c50 etc. If I didnt have a 4yr old, I'd already have one. That Panigale is beautiful. I'd stare at it all the time when not riding.I'll tell you what... The first 10 miles on that thing yesterday and I started to seriously wonder just what in the actual **** I got myself into. Then I figured out I was in the wrong riding mode. Once I put it in "old-guy-pussy" mode then it became manageable. lol.
