Fear. I’ve never feared riding motorcycles. Never have, never will. But there’s one machine that’s always made me second-guess a full twist of the throttle. It’s red, Italian, and fast as f**k. The 2018 Panigale V4S was utterly bonkers. I first rode it at the Buddh International Circuit during the Game of Performance shoot, and I remember returning to the pitlane visibly shaking. It was disbelief, awe, and a fair bit of fear wrapped up in one adrenaline-laced ride. How could a road-legal motorcycle be this fierce, this agile, and stop like it slammed into a wall? I knew the electronics had my back if I got too throttle-happy, but I couldn’t stop thinking about how far motorcycles had come in terms of tech and performance. It was a wild ride, almost too wild. Cut to 2025, and I found myself flying to Thailand, searching for what you might call a “happy ending” to this story. Before your brain runs riot ,I’m talking about the new Panigale V4S. Ducati called it the 7G, signaling that this was the seventh generation of their superbike lineage. And while 7G may naturally lean you towards a certain Japanese manufacturer, Ducati had a point to prove. This wasn’t just a test ride; it was part of the Ducati Riding Experience, DRE for short. It’s not a racing school or a riding academy. It’s an experience. One that brings riders from across the globe to the racetrack, plants a seed of obsession, and more often than not, ends in a Ducati being parked in your garage. Marketing, done right. After a sore eight-hour drive from Bangkok to Buriram and a less-than-restful nap, I found myself staring at a familiar red silhouette in the presentation hall. The Panigale looked… tame. The sharp lines were softened, black accents gone, the overall design much quieter. Ducati’s focus with this new generation was clear: Faster lap times Easier and more accessible riding A machine that helps riders level up their skills (CONTINUED IN THE COMMENTS)
