DUCATI
Panigale V4R
Okay,
Okay, we
we admit
admit Ducati
Ducati jumped
jumped the gun
by a day or two in revealing the insane
new Panigale V4R – but there was no
chance we weren’t going to include it
on this list. Just look at the thing!
ucati has taken aim s uarely at
WSBK dominance with the rabid
new Panigale, with a dropped cubic
ca acity to
cc utilising the
Desmosedici Stradale R engine to
slot into the regs - yet somehow,
the smaller V4 is pumping out a
sky-high 221hp with the ability to
go further with a special exhaust
system - while on the outside
they’ve included the aero from the
MotoGP machine to help the V4R
cut through the air like a hot knife
through butter.
HUSQVARNA
Sva!pilen 701
It was only a matter of time
before the grown-u Hus varna
Svartpilen broke cover, but we
weren’t expecting the 701 version
to take a com letely different
stylistic angle. hat said, the at
track style is proving to be the
next big thing in the direction
motorcycling is going so we’re not
complaining that the Svartpilen 701
dropped the scrambler style of the
401. With the same powertrain as
the Vitpilen 701 combined with a low
weight of ust
. kg dry , the single
cylinder Svartpilen should be a box of
fun when it arrives in 2019.
