In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The RSV4 1100 and Panigale V4 S produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the Panigale V4 S has a clear advantage. Weighing in 15kg less than the RSV4 1100, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the rsv4 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the panigale-v4 if you want the alternative brand character.
