t feels like only yesterday we were out in Bahrain riding the
last update to Ducati's Panigale V4, and yet here we are
writing about yet another update less than two years on.
Once the Ducati World Premiere teaser-taglines were
released, the fifth episode titled Evolution of Speed seemed
rather obvious. Or so we all thought, because it turns out it
led a few of us a little astray. Surely, it'd be a new V4 R. Not
so, it's a new S (and the standard model, too).
Our minds raced. More wings? More power? Anyone
would conclude it needs none of any of that, so what could
the nutters from Bologna have in store so soon after the
last one? As it transpires, it's some of everything, and as
always, the devil is in the detail.
