In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The Panigale V4 and Panigale V4 R 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 R has a clear advantage. Weighing in 5kg less than the Panigale V4, 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 panigale-v4 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the panigale-v4 if you want the alternative brand character.
