Just want to know who else has a base? I have one coming from an 848 and so far this thing is awesome! I know it’s an 1100 cc but it feels like a 600!

I have a base V4, I came out from a Supersport S, which I really enjoyed for the little time I had it. The day I test ride the V4 base, I felt in love, so my Supersport S went on a trade in.

The V4 base is the way to go if budget is tide (my case), also the base has a lot in electronics and performs pretty crazy well.
The V4S, the one I almost purchased, was 5K (USD) more and my good friend, Ducati specialist, racer and sales person told me this:
If you are not taking it to the track, why would you buy a V4S? no need (in my case) as I did not want to spent a lot of money and wil probably not track anymore (52 yrs of age and done that for years).

So, the BASE V4 is the way to go, its a fantastic motorcycle, I am loving it and besides all, it is not that bad in terms of comfort, except the HEAT, everything else is the best.
Cheers
LCL

V4 BASE here, it will do some track duty and coming from a 1199S I didn't want to spend the money for electronic ohlins and lightweight wheels as I have a set of Marchesini magnesium's for the track and would rather have a set of cast wheels for the street that are easily and cheaply replaced... plus the coin saved will go far in aftermarket mods and performance upgrades...

Base all the way. If only street, I would be tempted by a Corsa (S plus cooler graphics).
But I'm mostly track and putting the saved money to more track relevant parts plus allows me to make it a bit more styled to my tastes.
