Ducati's Inaugural Track Day at the Buddh International Circuit is a sign of good things to come

Nothing should be allowed to be this fast. I was on the main straight of the Buddh International Circuit and the speedo on the Panigale V4 had just gone blank. There were three tiny dashes that showed me that the V4 had just crossed the 300kph mark. And the scary part was that it was still accelerating with a vengeance. There is no stopping the V4. The ease with which the motorcycle hits 300kph has to be experienced to be believed. On the main straight, where’re you’re usually stretching the limits of your courage trying to hit 300kph, the V4 had hit it with enough in reserve to pile on another 30-40kph. And when it came to braking from that speed, the bike would do a one wheel dance without ever making you feel like you’re staring death in the face. It really is magic!
