Loved the “I went to the press test to see if I could high side it”. This is no ordinary high side. It’s an Al Fagan high side” 😂😂😂😎

Weird request, but i'd love to see a Q&A type with James/JHS/Fagan about their racing/business history.

Always good to see 44t and Neevesy floggin' it.

Fanny magnet. And the bike looks sexy too.

loved the mini race with Neeves!

it astounds me that we can say someone can "step down" to this bike. I mean this is top liter bike power from only 4-5 years ago. The fact that we have 200bhp+ monsters now is insane (but then again, they can only be reigned in with Electronics nowadays...)

"we do it proper at 44T' - Indeed you do 👍

Ignored all other reviews waiting for this and you didnt let me down. Good show

Great review & great defensive leg by Neevesy @ 9:55 😂👍

44teeth - 1 MCN - 1 Bloody Neevesy !

Absolutely love the way Al gets all the minor details out in his reviews from the saddle & off the bike as well. This bloke can ride!

Al delivers the goods with easily the best review of the V2!!! Loved the battle with Neevesy who was clearly trying and great to hear of all the small tweeks that have really made a difference that get glossed over in other reviews. The points Al makes at the end about people being faster on one of these than most litre bikes is spot on and would love to see him do a whole video on the subject. SuperSports improved my riding no end, especially on track and owning a 90s Kwaka 600 was the best investment I ever made in my riding. Truth be told, even today I'd take the V2 over the V4... you can ride them harder for longer and the smaller bikes when well built reward good riding far more than simply relying on HP on the straights to make up for your crappy braking and corner speeds.

Been waiting for the 44t review since I saw the various reviews start to pop up. Great job and good on ya for taking it out in the wet. Looks like it's finally time to replace the 848 track toy. Cheers boys

I can’t help but find it a little funny they’re calling it a V2 now when they always insisted before it was an L-twin

Quality review and a bit of excitement seeing you have a little race with Mr Neeves! 😁

You guys have been cranking out so much content recently--mega!

Ok, after checking out your contents and quality of reviews I had to subscribe! Please keep it this real and raw!

Man Statham! that lap around 10;46 chasing the MCN guy was epic!!! Love it!!

Real world bike real world review.. thanks for the distinct lack of BS as ever 💪🏼

Love this type of vid guys. Info, beautiful footage and even riding in the rain. Keep it up !😀👍🏻

Some of the most thrilling on-board laps you’ve ever posted. What a bike.

Finally, I've been waiting for this for ages

Great ride Al good to see you had the chance to ride it on dry and wet conditions

This is honestly such a good review, big ups to fagan and Chris for putting out such good content👌

What a sound this bike makes,it's like a classical orchestra going flat out. Al,great review,glad you enjoyed yourself.

Have Baron take it through London.....that would be a good review! I need a good swear filled rant.

"Must stay off these kerbs" takes the corner right out to the kerb 😳

Haven't ridden it myself, but seems like Ducati have knocked it out of the park with the V2. Great stuff!

I need that bike in my life so bad...

full of confidence Al very good to see!. Bike sounds a bit pedestrian but goes well and looks very sharp!. Big props for having a go with Michael!. Totally agree with you about learning technique on smaller bikes!.

Incredible review. You’re getting bloody good at this mate.

Fantastic review Al 👏👏👏 im really liking these very positive early reviews ive saw on this Panigale V2 like you said this is more of a usable real world superbike than its big bro V4 and definitely a bike id consider after I’m done with my RSV4 RR!! 👍🏻

Better cornering is exactly what I would be looking for with this one compared to the 899/959. Thanks for the info!

Good review...I want one even more now. I enjoy 44 vids, and good to see you still know how to do proper reviews. Would like to see more of them, and there being two of you, there’s a niche there for comparison vids. I’ll let you know where to send my royalty cheques 😁

"Lower capacity Bikes" - 955cc okay

Waited my whole life for a top gear for bikes, think this is it ♥️

Loved the Stath' voice over at the beginning..

Good video Jason ! Enjoyed this style of voice over lol

Statham lookin THICCCC in them leathers 😂😂

Love how uses always get into it with neeves on the track races battles. I always hope for them at every launch now 😂🙈

I have been on motorcycles from 1970 and have been racing, building and testing bikes and been reading thousands of bike test But Never have I been so impressed as of Your tests, you are really really good at what ya do there....Just keep up the great work and fun work 👍

atta boy Fagan, can tell you really loved this bike. Great review!

Great vid, best review yet 👍

Great work there Al. That bike really is bloody gorgeous 😍

Hi 44 teeth! Great review on the v2 guys.i saw this at motorcycle live sataday and it's a beauty.well ridden AL👍

Best Review of the V2 out there. I want one ☝🏻

Now.... I don't want to sound like some Fagan-Fanboi scrote, but fact is this is the best review of this bike out there. Packed with actual information, delivered in a genuine manner. I'm having a wobble about "test riding" one tomorrow (with proper social distancing measures, naturally), and my WIFE, who HATES motorbikes, thinks it's a good idea to get it.... which can only mean there's some decorating in my immediate future..... Still, thanks for the proper review Al.

"To see if I can high side it" spat my cornflakes out 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Enjoyed that sir, looking forward to trying one myself soon 👍👍

Just to put it into perspective, when Fagan starts getting loose/wobbly at 240kph that's 150mph, he topped out at 250ish kph.

That green light on the clocks would drive me barmy "oh i'm in neutral" in peripheral vision constantly

The review of the v2 I have been waiting for!!

Amazing review Al !

Great review al ! Shame it wasnt decent weather and that ducati test rider on the slow mo clip...wtf the blinkin show off.

Just watched another moto vlogger take that same bike around a track... you sir, mr. Fagan, are a beast

Like a Bulldog at Crufts, you ain’t the prettiest puppy on the block, but by eck, you’ve got serious pedigree. You made that bike look so incredibly easy to ride. Another great vlog 👍

I loved my 959. I have a v4s but i really do miss my 959. I might pick up a v2 for my first track day lessons.

Great review, cheers from Australia

Very spiffing review good sir, splendid.

Awesome content everytime 👊

My wife is doubting me She said you make weird children like noises while watching 44t videos

Great review. Proper quality 👍🏼👌🏼

....since the takeover by Audi , ducati is now producing not only super sexy italian art on wheels but also very reliable and high quality bikes like the japanese ones !!😍😍😘😘...best time to be a ducatista !!👍👍

I’d love to see you, Fagan, race a stock v4 vs a v2 with an Akra Provich and filter system. I think you could get within a half second maybe equal if given enough time.

Fantastic content - and damn do I ever miss my 899 having seen this!

Good job this review is not on tape otherwise I would have worn it out 10 times 😁 Great review, watching it every day... seriously! Brilliant bike 👍🏻😁 Thanks for great insightful review

"2mm makes a massive difference". Amen brother. Great review!

so it's good on the track … wadda ya reckon for on-street though? Or how about for commuting? (ok … it's never gonna be a commuter … but is it manageable for say 45-60 minutes of fun nipping through the traffic?) Or the occasional weekend road-trip or café-run?

Serious question, could you not dial in the rear shock on the 959 to give a similar front forward feeling?

You sounded like a politician, you'd think that you know what you are talking about lol That was freaking awesome man, i really loved every second of this video. That bike is amazing, it's also a beautiful bike, who needs the v4 for the sake of 3 seconds a lap......unless you are racing professionally, which 99.9 % of us mere mortals don't. Superb video. 🤠🏍👍👍👍

Hi, in your opinion which bike would be a better one - between 2020 V2 panigale & S1000rr Pro, in terms of riding comfort, performance & overall experience of having one of these. Only for Street use & no track days. Thanks in advance.

So what's better value, a used base model 1199 or this?

Excellent review. Beautiful bike.

9:52 best bit Alastair Vs Neevesy epic stuff, michael is a fast chappy. Would be awesome to have Neevesy as a guest on 44teeth three way budget bike battle race 🔥

How is it compared to a well spec'd bike like that mellow yellow bike? Is the electronics package worth the upgrade?

Electronics and revised lump dropped in the supersport would be interesting, the SS is a sweet handler too

Those lean angles are sick

Al, I think this is the best review you have done to date matey. Well done :)

Great bike & review. Would have this over the V4 any day. Same reason I picked a GSXR750 over a thousand.

Was that the beautiful Michael Neeves from MCN you were dicing with before the rain 🌧 came? Lovely man

Easily the best review on 44T. Some technical explanations for the handling characteristics for once. Stunning bike.

Wish they did a V2S with the electronics package of the V4S, needs the electronic suspension and more shiny stuff, I would buy one.

Note the clock at the end of pit lane, let you go at 09.55!

Since you guys rode both the Daytona 765 and the Ducati V2 how would you compare them? If you could only buy one for the spring which would it be?

Nice review Al

If you can't afford the V2, could you make a few little tweaks to a second hand 959, ie, raise the rear ride height a touch to make it worth while..?

Pic at the start is BRILLIANT! "It was at this moment, Stathem knew, he fucked up!" XD

so which one got the better electronics? v2 or 1299 r final edition?

So in race mod which you reviewed the bike on, what restrictions are there? Any? (TC, Anti-wheelie, ABS..etc)

I was all set to get a new BMW S1000RR M package but with all the negativity about production and quality issues I am more inclined now to opt for the V2.

I indeed love to watch your imp content

"Mate, what the hell are you staying at?" "Hereth"

Love that bout you put up with Neevsy bummer red was raised and it rained also.

Ffs I was planning on keeping my Daytona for the 2020 track season and this video has pissed all over that plan.

Great review Al, loved every second of it....expect when you were beaten by Neevesy🤔👍🇦🇺🍺

I’ve never really been a Ducati nut but if I ever hit the lottery I would buy one of these just to try it out in the mountains and on the track🥂

I know this is a stupid question, but I know absolutely nothing about bikes… But how do they tilt back towards to the normal position after going around a corner where they’re basically fully sideways..? Is it just as simple as turning to the left if you’re turning right? Or is there something more than that..? I’ve always wondered this but I’ve never thought to ask lol

Hey, great review! Did you guys ever try the 959 Corse with the Öhlins suspension? How would you compare it to the V2? I bought a new 959 Corse earlier this year and now I really want the V2, especially when they release a Corse version or similar 😨

Nice video! Top quality.

Cannot wait for the 44t review of the new street fighter s ,it will along with my test ride be the deciding factor,roll on march :)
