The open-class - greater than 1,000cc - superbike is considered the absolute pinnacle of production motorcycles. This is the class where capability, technology and performance are usually at their maximum. These are truly the motorcycles we dream of. Today, at the top of that pinnacle sits one motorcycle. When Ducati decided to switch up from their revered twin-cylinder superbike line, they decided that it was time to up the stakes. They moved to the SuperQuadro engine, an outrageously powerful V4 with a unique firing order. This was placed in a frame of a type that no one has seen before. Liberal additions of magnesium were brought in for lightness. And then the most sophisticated electronics package that Ducati could dream up was added. The result is a motorcycle that is as simple to ride as it is devastating. A motorcycle that works better the harder you ride it. It's almost sad that few of us will ever be good enough riders to take the Panigale V4 to the limit. But in the attempt to do that, you will see a glimpse of performance at a scale you never dreamt of. Delivered in the friendliest manner possible, for a near-220PS machine, that is. Welcome to the latest episode of the Game of Performance, presented by Michelin. Say hello, to The Devil. #PowerDrift #Michelin
