I was thinking about that too !

Yes, "on the highway"... we are talking about better street bike. I have tried both, and went with V2 for dailly. I allready had Diavel 1260s and trust me its a great bike but not for comuting. V2 is like my Svartpilen 701, great for dailly erands and going to work.

You made a good choice. I bought a 959 after coming from a Monster 1200S, Diavel Carbon, and a Multistrada 1260S. I thought I would love it, but I hated it. It was super uncomfortable to ride every day. It ran super hot. It just wasn't an enjoyable experience. The Streetfighter platform is much better for every day use. I'd take my V4S over a Panigale any day for my use case - which is road riding.

The semi-adaptive suspension will for sure make the V4 more road friendly, but it still has way too much unusable power, and the stupid winglets, so the V2 is still much better for the road.

@@allangrse617 Nobody stops you taking the wings off if that's what you want, just like you can order winglets for a V2 from the factory. Plenty of aftermarket companies that make blockoff or even different shape wings. And as far as the power is concerned, I rather have more than less, even if I don't use it. It's a Ducati, not a Japanese bike, it's supposed to be over the top.

@@toshy True, but I still think it's stupid to put winglets on a naked bike to start with, even more stupid to buy them for the SFV2. Well that's why I bought the SFV2, because it got more than enough power, but still make sense on the road, and because it's not a wheelie lunatic like other naked bikes. The SFV4 is an awesome bike, but it really only makes sense on the track. "It's better to ride a slow bike fast, than ride a fast bike slow"

@@allangrse617To each his own. I'm very happy with my V4S and I wouldn't swap it with a V2. If I'd want a less powerful and more sensible naked I'd go for a Monster 937.

Which?

Yeah I’ve had the MT09s since 2016 and was struggling to find a bike to match it. I pick up my V2SF on Friday 😏

@@natcrewe congrats mate 👌 please let me know how you find it ? I am waiting to try the 2023 v4 and see what’s is like but also considering not selling the mt09 and get a stf v2

@@TheValbunnys oooh the joy of having both! Yeah I’ll be riding mine back to back, so can give you a pretty decent comparison hopefully.

looks are not the same when u put'em together

WTF?! How does your nation not start a revolution?

Literally almost any bike around that price or even a lot cheaper. Almost all of them will have cruise control and fuel gauges, maybe some better components as well. Base tuono v4 is a bit cheaper, has much more usable power and torque (extremely powerful midrange) as well as more of both, has cruise control and fuel gauge, has wind protection. It is bigger/heavier, less agile at lower speeds, but also more stable at higher speeds. M50 brakes here which are better. Amazing sound of the real v4 unlike the nonsensical twin like sounding thanks to twin pulse firing order Ducati v4. Slightly used superduke can be had for the same or less, new one is a bit more. Most usable and accessible torque and power on the street since it's a giant v twin that isn't tuned to rev and sacrifice all of it's bottom and midrange like superquadro, better brakes there too, stylema in this case. 890 duke r is a lot more fun for a lot less money supposedly, comes with stylemas as well. It's lighter, even smaller feeling, and the torque/power is more usable in the rpm range for the street, it makes more than Sfv2 until around 8000 rpm where streetfighter just gets to its best part from 8500 to 11500 and with the KTM it's time to shift into the next year, shorter gearing makes it more engaging as well. It's a parallel twin that is engineered to mimic a KTM v twin. The fit and finish isn't anywhere as premium as streetfighter, 890 is rather cheap feeling, but it's also a lot cheaper, not as pretty either. Zh2 can be had for sfv2 money or less, they are often discounted since people don't want to spend that crazy money on a Kawasaki. Lots of power, but also rather big and heavy, so doesn't handle as well. It's more for comfort. You also get some cool noises from the supercharged inline 4 there. S1000R can be had for similar money too, there you would also have electronic suspension, the inline 4 engine needs a lot of revs to make power just like superquadro, albeit it still makes more power than Sfv2 everywhere. Many say it's the best real world naked, many also say it lacks character due to having a traditional inline 4 engine. The new m1000r will probably be just as ridiculous as streetfighter v4. Mt10 sp can be had for same money with electronic suspension and more usable powerband, more fun if you like wheelies, brakes and handling are most likely not as good. Or you can save even more with a base MT-10. Crossplane inline 4 there. Gsxs 1000 is a lot cheaper and more basic in fit and finish as well as electronics. It's a budget option after all. Something similar goes for the Honda's offering. KTM is more on hooligan side, Ducati can be more refined/sedate/docile but also sporty, Aprilia is in-between, triumph is very refined, Yamaha is somewhere in-between Aprilia and Ducati along with Kawasaki, BMW is generally bland. European bikes have more sophisticated electronics than Japanese. Streetfighter is a comfy sport bike without features that should be on any bike at that price point, the power is very high in the rpm range, the looks are amazing, the handling is great too. It's a super middleweight naked I guess, you don't quite get the performance of actual super nakeds but you do basically pay supernaked money. Perhaps the newest street triple RS or moto 3 can compare pretty favorably as well. There's also speed triple. It all depends on your preferences for the engine character, how important the features and perhaps passenger accomodations or being suited for touring are to you. It's more about them all being different experiences and some being more suited for certain jobs rather than being outright better or worse, most are better value than Ducati, but nobody buys a Ducati looking for value. Ducati does have great looks and performance/electronics as well as unique engine characters. With the V2 you get a rev happy top endy twin that you won't find anywhere else. It's also more engaging/involving/fun than sfv4. Ride them all and see what you like unless you already know your preferences.

@@volodymyrshoniia2424 whoooooosh, that's a lot, i appreciate your time typing this long long explanation, I did completely understand your thoughts, in terms of looks and premium Ness Ducati nailed it, each and every bike Ducati offers look s sexy',-same as Italian chicks🤫. But 1 thing is always a big negative for Ducati , too hot the engine gets, i do know it is common for superbikes,but practically Ducati feels hottest compared to other brands in the segment, i just want to know if it is a deal breaker? I live in Asia(India), temperatures here are not that cold, and i wanna put some miles without any worries

@@Pavanrajkp heat from the engine is mostly noticeable when stopped or moving slowly, otherwise you have wind helping you out, I don't really find it being an issue. Removing cats helps with exhaust heat usually.

You can just correct that issue just by a ecu remap

Or get the V4/V4s and avoid losing your warranty on a remap. The V4 has more torque 100Nm at 5,500rpm. On the V2 you need to go to 9,500rpm to get the same amount of torque. That's why it is so smooth vs. the V2.

Ruroc :)
