Dropped by the Ducati speed shop here in town yesterday afternoon- Just as they were rolling a new V4 Panigale into the dyno booth.
They had just added a $7000(!) pipe to it, replacing the stock exhaust.
First off- the SOUND is amazing. Melt your face off epic.
Secondly- it’s a beast. At about 5500 ft in elevation where we are, it registered 197 hp at the wheel. They are saying it’s about 5% loss at this elevation- so probably right at 206 hp at the wheel....!!!
Brian, the shop’s owner, who’s tight with Ducati corporate, just got back from Laguna seca where they are playing around with a few v4's there. Apparently, according to some racers there, it’s essentially a GP bike with blinkers. To get a stock one ready to race
, “you just have to paint a number on it.”

It’s such a sick shop too.. One of the top duc race bike builders in the world.. Having an old beater Ducati, it’s such a resource.. Here’s a pic of one of the motors they built up.. And bonus points if anyone knows what the bike in the background of the top pic is...

A $7000 pipe? That could buy a LOT of crack.

But then you’d have a lot of crack, but no
pipe..
