Now I loved the big brother of this bike the Ducati V4 Streetfighter which I rode last year over an extended period - but as someone who often goes by the mantre "Smaller is better" (just ask Mrs Flyer!) and someone who bought the baby Panigale over the Full fat one, I thought this bike could be for me....here's my first ride video.

I got to try this bike out a few days ago, albeit at a very small and narrow circuit with a lot of other riders on it, and only for about 15 minutes, but I found it to be a lovely bike, if you can overlook the very shaky experience of riding it in low RPMs. For a standard Euro-5 pipe it sounds absolutely gorgeous and those front brakes are just spectacular. If I had the money, I'd get one. Ideally yesterday.

Great early review as usual. Looks, to me like a better option than the V4, unless of course you do regular track days. The little 'quirky' vibrations through the seat and the shaking of the tft, I'm sure would soon become normal, though for the price, you wouldn't expect it. The initial looks are good and looking forward to your in depth review.

Hi Andy, I took the V4S out last year and thought it was great but when I had the V2 a few weeks ago I enjoyed it more than the V4 and didn't want to give it back, I found it gave me masses of confidence. I did find it a bit vibratey but I suppose they aren't going to be as smooth as a 4 cylinder. Look forward to seeing you on it again 👌👍🏍🏍

I love the low rev characteristics of the Ducati L-twin motors and am glad Ducati is still able to make them Euro and US regulations compliant. Like many, I seem to always fall for the larger displacement models, but cannot argue with the fact that the “baby” versions of the Panigale, the Multistrada, and now the Streetfighter are probably the better choice for most applications. I also think the Syreetfighter V2 and Multistrada V2 look sleeker than their V4 counterparts. By the way, the LED display is not flimsy. It is heavily damped to protect it from road shocks and vibrations.

Loved the review as always. I have always been a Ducati fan and I recently rode the new Monster. I was extremely disappointed with amount of vibration through the seat and bars. In addition, the mirrors could not be adjusted in order for me to see behind me. Also my boot would not fit between the shifter and foot peg. The dealer was not the least agreeable with my complaints. I have a KTM 790 Duke which is butter smooth and the mirrors and shifter cause no issues. With all that in mind I have to say it rode smooth, handled well and perhaps with new boots and mirrors I could learn to ignore the vibes. It did appear to be a quality unit. Something not always said about KTM.
@pchzl Жыл бұрын
Thats strange as Ive got new monster as well and cannot complaint about vibration. There is tons of other bikes with much worse vibrations;) I agree about mirrors but I’ve managed to get it sorted by moving the, a bit on the handlebars. Boots? Wiat boots you’ve got? Or what size?

Swapping my ‘23 st rs for this sf v2 after a test ride. Never noticed the tft vibrations but the vibes thru seat and pegs at low speeds feels like it’s asking you “are you ready to go yet?” 😀 love it!! Never felt any vibe thru grips. Can’t wait to pick mine up this week, fabulous looking bike with such a big smile factor.

Hey mate can I ask what were the main reasons? I'm trying to decide between these two at the moment. Have test ridden both, I felt nothing on the Triumph until I hit a series of tight s-bends then it was an absolute hoot, whereas on the V2 every second is an occaision and was more enjoyable more often. I'm going to try them both again
@AlistairCarter-fk9yo 10 ай бұрын
The rs is a great bike without question. But personally after a number of months it wasn’t quite giving that feeling of something special. The sf just continues to give that certain something. At 6’2” tall I find the sf more comfortable too. All the niggles re the throttle, mirrors, hot seat and not great in slow town traffic….well, as far as I’m concerned, got used to throttle immediately, mirrors not the best but set right they’re fine, seat only gets warm at a long standstill and it’s not the best in town but if you can control a bike at slow speeds it’s a doddle. As for the open road fun, absolutely streets ahead of the rs….as expected being a more powerful machine. It won’t disappoint. Good luck dude 👍🏻

I kept it below 6K rpm before first service, and it was _maybe_ a bit vibey below 5K, but now run in it all smooths out beyond 5K rpm. Now I'm familiar with the bike, I use 2nd gear for 30mph zones and 3rd for 40 zones, to be honest from the vid, I think you were in too high a gear at those speeds.

However, I had a test ride and loved it, so bought one there and then! 1100 miles in, and I’m still running in the engine (current self imposed limit of 9K rpm), but it really comes alive at that rpm - it feels very special, and I don’t have any issues with vibration.

I bought my v2 off the back of your review plus 2 test rides of course. You have saved me money an also helped me spend it on the right equipment. My v2 has the monimoto 7 on it because of you an my sat nav is beeline. I know unlike me you are a smart man. Don't let the trolls get to you they'll probably never ride a bike or fly. Keep up the good work dude.ps I forgot about my sticker kit from Tony james design hopefully it turns up today for my panigale v2 bayliss thanks for that one as well only place to do one for the troy bayliss v2. Sorry this was in response to a comment you made

I would love to hear how you compare this to the Speed Triple RS 1050. I was/am tempted to go for the Duc Fighter V2, but what I just noticed, the Triumph Triple runs a lot smoother AND (which is kind of suprise to me), the Triumph has 117 NM torque and it does have it way better rpm 2.000 to 7.000, where the Duc runs very rumply 2k to 4k, and gets it torque more 8.000+ rpm (and then top torque "only" 102 NM). I know these are kind of different bikes, still I would like to hear your comments.

If vibration is an issue be careful of your phone if attached to handlebars..It could do the phones accelerometer in. Ducati's have certainly come a long, long way since their bevel drive bikes..which also vibrated...Its the nature of the beast!...They looked good, were fast, handled well, but Ho! the TLC one had to give them... Now, they are an Icon that even non-biking folks have heard of.... The 916 and the later Panagali's just look like sculptured works of art.. If I could afford a 'Duke' now it wouldn't be this one.... I yearn for my 900 SS Bevel drive of 1979.... warts n' all

I will be selling my Mt09 -2019 in July and preorder this one to be deliver next season hopefully April . I believe this bike is the perfect upgrade as I think is at the same level of a mt10 . Main reason I want to upgrade is I have my bike for two years and I love it but I feel I would like a more refine motorbike that can response better to the road and also will help me to I prove my riding . The new mt09 is not of my interés I don’t like the design however is better bike to drive that mine.

I think the same on extreme powered bikes. Streetfighter V4, ZH2, Tuono V4, MT10 look good sound nice but totally impractical an way more power than you need. 99% of riders will never get close to the performance limit even on track. IMO 150 HP is still more than you need, rip through 1st to 3rd an your doing silly ban speeds. 100-130 is the sweet spot for me. Ample power an still fast

I'm not sure Ducati was not shooting for fairly attractive, sounds okay, and a little has more vibration than normal. Hopefully the bike will have more redeeming factors as your long-term review proceeds, however initial impressions good or bad are often the best. There more than a few bikes that provide the grin factor, are more comfortable less expensive. I await further insights as time goes by.

His bike is in the garage for over three months now and still no news about when it wi be ready. Is there any way you could help him maybe with some contacts at Honda or possibly Royal Enfield so that he could borrow a bike for his next adventure? You seem like a nice guy with lots of contacts.

The engine clatter is probably more noticeable through your helmet mic than just about any bike you’ve reviewed. I wonder whether the Multi V2 suffers from the same issue as I’ve not heard that in any of the reviews. The vibes seem incongruous - I wonder whether something is out of balance in the engine? Shame as otherwise it looks incredible.
