I have a Ducati v4 with the full akro system and up map. Ive been running it in this week. You wont be disappointed. Its insane when you want it to be but also very easy to ride relaxed, unlike my 1299. I have also traded my S1000RR 16 plate in for an M sport.

All Panigale V4?s have the same Brembo Stylema callipers, the V4S (that 7 CDB has acquired) has the Ohlins Smart EC2.0 semi-active suspension, the V4R has conventional Ohlins NIX30 forks and TTX36 shock.
I ?believe? all models also have the same electronics package too

Tell ya what you know your stuff don?t ya oli lol.
I think them big brembo brakes do look the business with some bling ohlins very smart.
I wouldn?t mind some to replace my little brembo callipers and wouldn?t mind some brembo levers too. There is That many bloody options on brembo brakes I get confused what I need to purchase. Purchasing Brembo callipers would I need to replace my discs too. I running the hp wheels.

I just watch far too much YouTube lol.
Brembo and Ohlins are definitely the Gucci brands of the motoring world.
Do you mean a brembo master cylinder, or simply a brembo brake leaver?
The RCS19 master cylinder is a popular upgrade and I believe the GP4-RX callipers are directly compatible with RR?s, though you would be best advised to check specifics with those who have switched to aftermarket brakes.
To my knowledge you do not need to change discs or lines for the above

I have the Brembo RCS 19 Master Cylinder and GP4-RX calipers on my 2015 RR also Z04 pads and RBF 660 brake fluid.
It?s a really good brake setup, I also have Brembo T-Drive disks on the HP forged wheels, the calipers/pads work fine with the standard disks as well.

You can't beat a bit of bling!-not that anyone takes much notice.
If I'm on a trackday and spot a fancy setup,I look at the owners lap times!

Haha, I didn?t say they make me faster, I do feel more confident of stopping though.

I changed my OEM calipers simply because Brembo Z04 front brake pads were significantly cheaper for the GP4-RX calipers. I never bothered changing brake lines or the master cylinder as it wasn't really required; especially when using Castrol SRF brake fluid.
I'm sure the new calipers will be absolutely fine on track once you change the OEM brake fluid and fit suitable race pads. As far as I'm aware BMW have done away with the ridiculous 4-pad per caliper design for 2019 which will mean that good brake pads will be significantly cheaper. I will probably still fit my GP4-RX calipers anyway, but that's only because I kept them when I sold my bike. The only question that remains is whether or not the 2019 S1000RR OEM brake lines will be compatible and allow a direct swap like the 2015-on model.

Save your money-just put Ryans photo on the wall!
No titanium caliper bolts,Ryan?!
Actually,that's one advantage of buying one of these cheap bmw's-you can bling it up and make it much better than a Ducati and not have everyone waiting for it to break down or go for a recall!

Why am I not surprised?!
The V4S comes with pretty much all and everything I will ever need.....and just look at it
I?ve enjoyed the S1000rr but I don?t wake up early and the morning and want to ride it! To be fair the first thing I think about in the morning is a piss.
I get Ducati, I know Ducati and I think about Ducati
