MotoAmerica: First ride for Kyle Wyman on the V4 R street bike

Kyle Wyman received the long-awaited and coveted Panigale V4 R, freshly arrived from Bologna, and it was love at first...lap.

Not one, but two shiny new Ducatis are ready to be prepared by team KWR and the On Any Moto dealership; official Ducati representatives in the USA. Although not a factory team, the rider from New York state will be "well advised" by the men in red, curious to verify the potential of the bike overseas as well in Wayne Rainey's Superbike championship class.

After a brief road ride, Kyle had already seen what sort of beast he was dealing with: "It's an amazing bike, so stable - Wyman was speechless, as you can see in the video - this Ducati is not a street bike. The Panigale R is a race bike and ready to go to the track. This bike could not feel more different than the S or the standard V4 - not even the same motorcycle - totally different."
