Ducati v4 versus BMW RR

Ducati v4 versus BMW RR

When the last batch of supercars of major brands were upgraded, the v4 had already left other supercars far behind in all aspects. The electronic control was weak and the handling method was rude. This problem, which is considered a problem, has been improved a lot on the v4. Including the latest 6-axis IMU inertial measurement unit (the previous generation fireblade sp is still five-axis), anti-head up, anti-slip, traction control, these systems are all blessed on the new v4. Although it has undergone many recalls, it has been upgraded after the recall. The current v4 There are also some v4s that have been around for more than 10,000 kilometers without problems. The overall failure rate of V4 owners is actually not high compared to other Ducati models.


In terms of riding, I have to say that the RR is really one of the best 1000CC level sports cars to get started with. BMW makes cars very considerate for drivers. V4 is actually not suitable for a novice. After Ducati was acquired by Audi, the direction of making cars has actually changed, and the riding experience is moving in the direction of better riding smoothness.


The shortcomings of this bike are also very clear. The first is that it will make you understand the word "hot" to a new height. The second is that even though Ducati is getting better and better to ride now, his low speed will still be a little hesitant. The third is that the repair parts and repairs after an unfortunate crash are really expensive.


If you are a Japanese four-cylinder car owner before, you will definitely not feel comfortable riding Ducati, but if you have played for a while before, the Ducati v4 is indeed the top three car in the current Ducati camp. There is no doubt that the V4 low-speed Ducati's drag is still there. The output will be very smooth when the number of revolutions exceeds about 3000. The power of the V4 engine will come smoothly and directly without muddy water, but it will not make you feel that it is difficult to control the torque zone at about 5000 revolutions. It can meet the daily overtaking needs even if the meter head is as high as 14000, but in fact, the speed range (4000-8000 rpm) in the daily use range can meet all your daily riding needs.


In terms of quality control, Ducati is indeed inferior to other manufacturers. This is indeed a brand that needs a lottery. In general, Ducati's quality control has made considerable progress compared with the ancient times. Although there are flaws, it is not to the point of throwing it into the repair shop.
Important tips for new bike owners.


Before playing motorcycles, you must first correct your mentality and clearly realize that motorcycles are extremely dangerous toys, the broken thoughts of the demon of desire in your ears, and the call of the senior motorcycle friends across the other side. After clearly realizing these, let's look at the toy of motorcycles. The first priority is ABS Anti-lock Braking System (preventing tire lock braking system during braking) and upgraded version of Cornering Anti-lock Braking System (cornering auxiliary ABS)

Basically, when starting the car, everyone will not jerk the accelerator. I think the main use is when exiting corners. The scene that can be imagined is --- a new car with new tires, and there are few cars on the road, turning left or right at the intersection, and the gas pedal when you enter the acceleration stage at the intersection is very fatal. (Traction control is tens of thousands again) The next step is an unexpected, but the professionals must understand --- the tire change has a great impact on the driving feeling. Everyone should know about foreigners changing thick tires. . Then the effect of thin tires and thick tires on steering performance can probably be guessed closely. So just like the impact of thick tires on steering performance, the impact of tires on riding in various road conditions is also great. For example, travel-specific tires have many lines to prevent water from forming a water film between the road and tires when it rains, and can also exert better grip in the case of cold tires.


In the end, it is easy to fall into a misunderstanding with headlight, that is, headlights are used to make oneself see the road ahead clearly. This is true, but it is easy to ignore another point. Dim headlights will make the oncoming vehicle misjudge the distance to you and your speed (the key part in the Japanese driving school course), and it is easy to make mistakes when the curve is straight. Sentence, so remember not to believe any halogen lamps, exposure LED is king.
To sum up, motorcycles need to be safe, and they need to spend more money. At the same time as the cost of motorcycles is cut, these things should be filled with your life, so please keep this in mind. Why modern motorcycles have developed so many safety systems is because of the lives of the motorcycle predecessors in history. And when you give up these security systems, you give up your life.
