In Episode 2 of Gear Torques, Dan Koh throws a leg over the Ducati Panigale V4S — a machine that looks like it belongs on a MotoGP grid, but somehow has license plates. It’s beautiful. It’s loud. And it’s very, very fast. But is it too much bike for daily life? Or is that exactly the point? From commutes to corners, Dan unpacks what this Italian superbike offers in real-world riding. Is it practical or punishing? Does all that power ever get a chance to stretch its legs in Singapore? And how does it stack up for riders who don’t live on racetracks?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
