I was heading over to the Suzuki Live event at Cadwell Park the last time we spoke and it turned out to be a great do, apart from dodging the showers we seem to be getting accustomed to during our great British summer.

ON ROAD...DUCATI V4R
This is a hard bike to criticise, to the extent that I'll jump in with both feet and lay my biggest hang-up on the table from the get-go... I don't like the number one sticker on the front number board.

ON TRACK...DUCATI PANIGALE V4R
Ducati settles for nothing less than perfection, and the V4R is right at the very forefront of that. Experience is the first word that springs to mind; it's a truly special experience to ride this Panigale (just like the rest of the V4 range), and you can just tell that every last detail has been thought about with this bike.

When I first clapped eyes on this carbon-covered kryptonite, I can't say I was particularly dazzled by the new styling and upgraded aero package. Now I've seen one in the flesh, I've turned a full 180 and can completely appreciate the bodywork overhaul and the detail within.
