Ducati Streetfighter V2 | Forget The V4 Version 👌
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2022
- Ducati V2 Streetfighter is a bike I've been very excited to ride since its launch earlier in the year. I've spent quite sometime on its v4 brother but can 150 HP and a V-twin motor make a better road bike??
Let's find out!

I'm giving one of these a serious look and my 2 hang ups are the bike not having cruise and no fuel gauge.
LOL. Even Aprilia managed to get a fuel gauge sorted (finally)!!!
They’ve improved the look really really reminds me of a z1000 with a cooler tail. Honestly I’d have to see it in the metal but this has me kind of checking my bank account right now..
No fuel gauge or CC is a deal breaker for me, so I'm going to be keeping my 2019 SDR.
Completely agree, spoilt for a ha'peth of tar... SDR is just a more fun bike too, lovely torque.
Love the look and sound of this bike 😍
Stunner. Lovely sound when you build the revs. Makes a lot of sense to have a bike you need to work on the road. Definitely wins in the looks department.
Weather and footage is looking nice and lush. Another great review. 👌🏽
Very keen to see one of these when they come to Australia , great review chops love the channel mate .
Perfect aperitif for a late breakfast. Thanks Lamby!
Great review!! I just hit 800 miles on mine, this bike absolutely rips. I haven't ridden a V4 but I've always been a Ducati twin enthusiast, so much character and heritage. Just open this up and hang on, but the bike really does the great stuff for you, superb handling and braking, it really puts big smile on my face every time I ride it!
Loving my sfv2 as my first big bike I don't find it intimidating just fun, sounds amazing looks amazing and I keep opening the garage door to look at it which is an important part of owning a bike I think. I know it's expensive but I have PCP mine and it works out about the same as second hand bikes I was looking at which have higher Apr rates, only pay 150 quid a month which I think is well worth it.
Love your channel chopsy always look forward to your latest vid 👌👌
Another great review chopsy 👊✊️✊️
From Australia absolutely love your channel. I know there is a power deficit between the SFV2 and the KTM superduke 1290 but their price point is similar. I would love to see a comparison vid of the two as the ultimate fun road bike!
Great review as always. I am loving mine even though I am still breaking it in!
Top review as always and thanks for clarification that I'm STILL after the SDr evo, thanks 😆😆
Hi Chopsy, love your channel. I rode the v4 and found it was a very comfortable and insanely quick when turning the taps on, but seemed quite ordinary at lower revs. I think the V2 is probably a more torquey engine better suited for mid range and obviously high reviving as well.Great channel ,converting a lot of my Swede friends in watching your channel.When you out next with Gregory the man 😂🚤🎶😍🇸🇪👍❤️🙏
Hopefully soon! 👍
Excellent review!🏍🏍👍
Nice review Chops. I’m loving my V2SF. I took the V4S out several times before biting the bullet on the V2, but just found the V2 to be so much better on the road. The V4 was too much for the road, but is great for pub bragging rights! I’m getting the Akras fitted this week, so am looking forward to unleashing the full potential of the bike. And to all those moaning about the lack of fuel gauge, it really isn’t an issue. Just reset the trip meter on each fill up, and once you get used to the bike you’ll know how many miles it’ll do once the fuel light comes on.
How do you change the oil
Thats what i do on my 2019 Tuono, trip meter reset at fill up and its not an issue at all
Things a ducati owner that doesnt have a fuel gauge says:
“Aw i use the trip for the fuel”
“Fuel guages are for pu***es”
“Its weight saving”
In all seriousness its due to the tank design and the complexity involved to engineer sensors to be accurate due to this. In short Ducati pick looks over functionality. Its utterly stupid there is no excuse.
How’s the Akras?
Great recording 👍🏻
Great feedback
Love the looks of this Ducati. The problem with owning a Ducati is the nearest Ducati dealer is over two hours away. I got to ride a Monster a few years ago and loved the engine (the torque). Bike was easy to ride and fast!!
I picked up my Streetfighter V2 a couple of weeks ago. I love it. My only gripes so far are the mirrors (pretty much useless), and the choppiness of the throttle at slow speeds. Other than those two minor details, I very much enjoy this bike.
@RBT THUNDER I go to a gas station when the fuel light comes on, or I just look or slosh. I fill up before longer rides anyway, even on my other bike with a fuel gauge.
@RBT THUNDER You get used to it. My 959 Panigale doesn't have a fuel gauge. I just flip the tank cap and peak inside before I set off. Once the light comes on you have about 20km IIRC.
Drop a flash tune on it and it’ll clean up that low speed choppiness. Night/day on my Pani V2
@@Rennwhip good advice, thanks!
Great review. I shall be getting a test ride soon as, I love my v4 pikes peak, I’ve covered 12400 miles in 14 months , a normal wknd for me is up real early in spring ,summer up here on west coast Scotland, going out in twisties on my doorstep ,do maybe 200 miles so approx 400 on a good wknd. It’s fun ,But I’ve got feeling the V2 streetfighter maybe more fun and more rewarding listening to what your saying. 🤔👍. Stay safe young man 👍
Waiting for this video mate cheers ,
Got a test ride booked in for next Saturday, looking forward to having a go on one.
Enjoy it! 👍
Awesome motorcycle, excellent review!
You really don't need any more than 150 bhp for the road, not even that much!
Couldn't agree more about no fuel gauge,madness.
Nice review chops👌
Just tested the V4. What an unbelievable machine...Absolutely wonderful. Just roasted a bit my right foot. Looking at the V2 I think, due to the exhaust pipe along, it would set it on fire. Same as the rear one does to my bottom.
Awesome vid guy so I brought all these thumbs ups for ya algorithms fam 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥
Still in love with mine✌🏽
Nothing wrong with sachs/shows suspension, its probably just as good on the road as Ohlins.
Yes! I’ve got Showa on my blade and in a lot of situations I prefer it to the onlins on my speedy
A lot of brands will put the cheapest ohlins they can find and upcharge us 3x the cost.
Ohlins does offer some advantages, but not much in terms of handling (for the street). I found that they react to small bumps better - this doesn’t affect the ride much in terms of comfort; slightly quieter road noise, and slightly plusher ride at slow speeds.. that’s about it. Another advantage is the tuning can be done at smaller increments - might benefit some riders for the track, but for the street, hardly important.
Are they nicer? Yes.. slightly. Are they worth the extra price? Probably not.. although they do make the bike more desirable in the used market.
Dear Triumph: notice how Ducati shows odo, coolant temp, air temp speed, gear, mode, and time all on the same screen. Instead of one at a time. Heck, it even shows the state of the side stand sensor, that's awesome. However, it's very hard to say no to the Speed Triple's 1160cc engine, that linear power off the bottom is ridiculous, the engine is awake off-idle and no waiting to 7K rpms.
Notice how no fuel gauge on a ducati at 15k in 2022 😂
Yes, they somehow can’t figure out how to incorporate the fuel sensor into the design.
Aup Chops! Nice to see you. Lovely bike that ;)
Great vid Chopsy enjoyed that - brought a tear to my eye when you said I was your friend...sniff. Where was I, ah yes, interesting to see you and I both identified similar downsides to the bike but also interesting that we both came to completely different conclusions - given I'm not a hooligan like you I agree that (like the Pani V2) you probably get more out of it when you do rag it - though I'm not a fan of that on the road - but given the V4 is so much more powerful it's odd that Mr Sensible (me) enjoyed that bike so much more than this one! Just goes to show doesn't it....these are only opinions!! Ride safe mate.....
I’m on your side on this one Andy , I absolutely love my SF V4S it’s a brute if you want it to be but a pussy cat also. And as for the sound 🤭
Haha thanks Andy 👍 yes horses for courses and just shows we are all indeed different 😁👍
@@tonypammen3033 Me Too, Run it in street mode & you have about the same power as a V2 so in effect we have both bikes
@@andrewprice1189 agree with you Andrew, though I usually ride in sport as street mode feels a little woolly on the throttle, it is more comfortable though👍
TMF and LCR at different poles regarding the V2 & V4 glad to have your opinion however different. So much choice!
8:55 Oooh, c'mon fellas, indeed. You've got some real gnarly cornering posture ahead.
That wobbly front end would get on my nerves, still prefer my v4 factory over this but always enjoy your thoughts on different bikes and kit. Cheers Chospy
I’m thinking about the V4 over the V2 as well
I'm getting one of these bikes in a few weeks. I didn't know there is NO FUEL GAUGE! I saw a few reviews on youtube and no one said anything about the fuel gauge. Thank you
yeah MAJOR bummer... its such a simple thing to add I dont get why a street oriented bike doesnt have one
Great review John I was hoping you were going to rinse those chaps out on a Sunday style ride! 🤣🤣🤣
Great review and camera work as always…could you please review the Aprilia Tuono RR non factory. Would love to watch your thoughts on one as you keep it real world.
oh that sound 👌
Well done, buddy. Throughly enjoyed this review! Your IG post prepared me. Still shock and awe you gave this such high marks, compared to the V4 version. Hope all is well. And the new move is still a go! That double garage reveal should get you over 100K subs 🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜▶️▶️▶️▶️
Thanks Mike, after big delays seems the house move is back on again! Yippee! 😁👍
Great video 👍🏼
Great review once again Chops. No idea how you manage to explore and share all these nuances while thrashing a bike thru traffic and countryside but appreciate all the great insights as usual 🙂
Be great to see this one pitted against other that other notable italian middleweight rockstar the Brutale 800RR given that it also has very rev derived power in naked format - And perhaps against the KTM 890R which is also a very well specced mid weight naked and so far seems to have evaded your critical eye?! - Time trial of all 3 through the twisties would be a very interesting test
Thanks BA, great ideas for comparisons there thanks 👍
Great video as always chopsy! random question though, I've noticed that your using the gopro hero 10 with the media mod. How are you finding vlogging with this setup, i.e. weight and mic arrangement, and what mic are you using? audio sounds great! keep on keeping on! ✊
Superb review chops. I looked at this bike as my new choice of mount but found some things lacking for the price [it's well overpriced]. Like you said no fuel gauge or cruise control. The dash is too small and vibey and that oil filler cap [who designed that needs shooting]. It is a lovely looking bike though but in the end I purchased a brand new Tuono 1100 V4 which was 1000 Euros cheaper [I live in France] so a no brainer for me. The Tuono has a ton more power and torque everywhere and has a fuel gauge.It also has the best sound in motorcycling this side of a Moto GP bike. I understand you can now buy the standard Tuono in the U.K for 14 grand now. That's an absolute bargain for what your getting. Anyway mate ride safe and take care.
Good review
Wasn't fussed about Ducati but was looking at an MV Agusta F3 800.
The panigale V2 is an obvious alternative but they only had a streetfighter at the time so I testrode one.
An awesome bike that felt right for the road. It felt like "the right bike" for the road. Saw loads of panigaoe V2s at the TT this year more so than any other new sports bike.
Edit: I've ended up buying an MV agusta F3 800 Rosso after testriding it on the same day as testriding a panigale V2 so rake that as you will XD
FYI... it wasn't even close
Great review chopsy! I was wondering how you would stack this up against the MV Agusta Dragster? Both being 150hp Italian exotics with similar features
Yes I think a comparison review with Greg is needed here!!
Guys, HERE is Our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
15k though.....15k for a base model bike. Think my 15k would go to the triumph speed triple RS... Great review as ever Chopsy
New Tuono's now in the U.K are 14 grand. That's the best super naked for the money.
Great review. Have watched other reviews and obviously each person has a different valid personal opinion. I wanted this motorcycle to be the best of the best ! 😂. Didn’t do it for me. Love the looks and the kudos of Ducati, but no fuel gauge? Few updates next year methinks.👍
For hydraulic clutch read "double specimen sample jars".
150hp on a ducati = perfect road option.
150hp on a triumph = not enough, down on power. Hahaha
Retails here in Australia for $23200 ride away inc on road charges that's 13300UK! Another awesome review 100K is fast approaching & so deserved!
Thanks Andrew 👍
Fair enough.
Fit nice next to my Multi V2 in the garage, sometimes less is more, tried the V4 Multi but preferred the V2, saved a few bob too😜 Love all the comments moaning about the lack of fuel gauge, it’s not a problem it was normal when I started riding but I think for the price it should have been included.
Yeah it's certainly not a deal breaker 👍
Great bike for the aggressive rider , maintenance cost would be a concern thanks Chops
Another brilliant Lamb Chops review of the Duck , my mates call me Chops too , but I think it’s a different thing ..
LC reminds me of Poms who’ve moved out to Oz to live their best lives.
Good sense of humour that only the English have , great piss-takers ,
they love hucking up things to sell , love motorcycles & anything to do boating.
Seem very happy to be in a warm climate riding bikes in cargo shorts , are just genuine happy chappie’s & all , I repeat all .. have the gift of the gab.
so , they just make Australia a better place & after all they did invent us.
I had a V4s and tried a V2 while mine was in for service, I traded the V4 in after that.
Great review. What’s your helmet camera? Also, what’s the settings for it? Looks realistic to watch.
Just got my V2 Streetfighter and i love it. Perhaps you should do review on a TL1000R, for historical purposes and because i had one and would like to hear what you think.
Enjoyed that chopsy 👍. Would like to see you ride the new Ducati monster in comparison. Cheers
Yes hoping to try the new Monster soon 👍
Enjoyed the video because it presented both strengths and weaknesses, I am interested in this model although a bit disappointed it doesn't have a steel trellis frame, Ohlins suspension and better brakes.
the floppy front end doesn't please either.
Neat video as usual. I don't quite get the "it's too much for the road" point being used against the V4, as if a 150hp 200kg bike is a sensible option for the road lol.
If you ever get the opportunity, I'd like to see your thoughts regarding this bike and the mid 2000's Streetfighter S, from a riding viewpoint but also build quality. That shaking cowling and plastic infill bits aren't too great.
Great vid. If you had to choose between the SFV2 and the Panigale V2 as a bike purely for fun rides, inc a few track days, which would you go for?
Checked bank account. Forgetting about the V4 😂
Excellent video 👍
I would love to see a comparison of this bike and the MV Agusta Dragster/Brutale 800rr as they are semi close in price range
Agree with ya review chops great fun when going for it but just wondering the 80% that you ain't will peeps get fed up of o short shift grunt that the rs zh2 ape got.... dilemma s
Great review as always but have to agree No Fuel Gauge - Really!
Looks like a beautiful bike. But 15k with no fuel guage has me a little disappointed. Great review.
Good point
Great review. Is it good enough to justify selling my GT1000 and becoming my new street bike? Every time I walk past a 'FIghter at the dealer I spend entirely too much time admiring it, but the same thing happens w/the new Speed Triple RS. What a great time to be rider!
Video quality is 👌🏽
As with any Italian motorcycle, reliability and cost of maintenance would be my concerns.
I loved it when I rode one but the price is a big problem. There’s no way I’d spend £15k on a bike with the agricultural suspension it’s got. Particularly when you can get a Speed Triple RS, with Ohlins, Stylema’s and carbon for similar money.
I rode both and didn't feel the streetfighter had "agricultural suspension" for the road it was certainly better tuned.
meh
@@samuelcurran714 don’t get me wrong, it’s better set-up than the Panigale 959/V2…. The 959 was irritating on UK roads when I owned one.
My 2018 Aprilia has Ohlins however and the difference on the road is stark. I’d never go back to the Showa BPF’s as they definitely feel agricultural in comparison. The WP suspension on the equivalent KTM’s are far better set up than the BPF too.
My point being that it’s overpriced. For £12k it would be fine. At £15k the suspension is a let down.
Nah I disagree. I've ridden most of the current crop of superbikes and a few other machines and never felt like it was lacking.
Some bikes had slightly nicer feeling stuff but calling it agricultural is just wrong.
Stunning bike! One could indeed argue that 150hp is probably enough to get to 70mph🤣
V2 has soul
If they only had added a fuel gauge and/or optional cruise control. Then I would have bought it instantly! Like you said, it's 2022... And at that price.. really Ducati?...
I wonder how this compares to the aprilla rs660 other than the 50hp difference
Love the Morstead road. Those tight corners on the hill past the house are so much fun!
An amazing bike. I love ducatis, but with that much money I'd rather buy a tuono1100. What do you think?
The oil filler looks fun!🏍🌋🏔
Looks and sounds amazing.
What's that? No fuel gauge? In 2022?
HARD. PASS. FOR. THAT. PRICE.
Great review Chops!! How would you compare it to my 2020 Speed Triple S?
This tuesday I will try the v2. i had a speed 1050 rs. I will tell you tuesday
0 - 60 time: Don't forget your about 20 stone, or so you tell us... 🙂
It will make a huge difference in time if a lighter rider is doing the same test. Nice review! 👍
Yes absolutely 👍
I don’t agree chops’y, i have the v4 which you and tmf helped me along the way to choose. When I rode the v2 it was all revs ragging it, hitting the limiter always looking for more If your hitting the limiter ? It did have amazing grip but the v4 wasn’t that far off.
Hi chopsy! I really enjoyed this review and that you compared it to the Superduke! I have the panigale v2 now, but i´m considering changing next year to either the SFV2 or the Superduke. My take on the SFV2 is that the engine doesnt really fit a naked bike as well as it fits the panigale V2, because it makes a lot more sense with a revvy engine when riding a sportbike, therefore I think the superduke is a better bike for street riding with its enormous amount of torque. I wanna change for a better long road trip bike as well, would you say the superduke or the SFV2 is better for long rides? :) Thank you!
Thanks buddy, probably nothing between them for long distances rides. Both cruise well on the motorway, the cruise control on the SDR might prove handy though.. but other than that nothing in it. 👍
@@LambChopRides thanks!
What jacket is that? Looks badass.
It's the Knox Urban Pro MK2 vest 👍 link in the description
What about the speed triple? cause in a price battle the "speedy" it s equipped with better stuff
Isn’t it great that street bikes now are even more fun than sports bikes were 10,20 years ago?
Ducati price make no sense taking into consideration components shared by manufacturers like suspension, brakes, tires, electronic components.
Still drooling over my sfv2 since owning this July & putting 3k of fun on the odometer. Oil topped up once using a price of tin foil as funnel without any drip issues. The reported vibe thru dash hasn’t proved to be a problem but understand there’s a bit at lower revs. Fuel gauge is ridiculous on a ‘23 bike but managed without any difficulty. The grin factor with this piece of art and Italian engineering is more than worth the very minor gripes.
How do you find the engine heat in stop and go traffic ?
On the hotter days I find the heat from the sun on leathers far more of a problem! Tbh I try to avoid stop go stuff as not a commuter. Can’t say I’ve noticed the seat getting hot. Comments regarding that and the vibe on the dash are not something I’ve noticed to any more extent than any bike.
@@AlistairCarter-fk9yo thanks for the reply ! How hot does it get in your area during the summer ? Also is there a good amount for torque down low in the rpm's ? Or does the bike need to revved out. I'm trying to decide between the street fighter V2 and a speed triple RS.
My mate has the speed triple and he felt he needed an akro fitted at 3.5k to give it as good a sound as my stock exh on the SF V2. The V2 is known to really wind up at 6.75-7k so lperforms better with higher revs rather than low end torque. However, it feels to me the balance just somehow feels perfect. By no means is it labouring at 5-6k. I’m stealing others words when I describe tge V Twin as a guttural feeling as opposed to the smoother triple. Both great bikes but think about what you want from the riding experience. I absolutely love the gut feeling from the V2’s almost prehistoric roar but others may love the smoothness of the triple. V twin for me!!
Fuel gauge required? Absolutely not! Who buys a V Twin looking for motorway cruising at 75mph and refuel when they see the gauge at 25% remaining? Nope, not me. Twist it hard on the A n B roads and enjoy the fun until the orange warning light comes on with 30 odd miles reserve fuel left. What’s the big deal 🤷🏻♂️
17:24.. exactly! The new Aprilia's have WAY too much plastic on the front end. It makes the bike wiggle, and gives the impression of a very cheap bike.
Looks better than the v4 sf imo
Great review chopsy 👌
I have a 14 plate tuono v4r and looking for a new bike around the 15k mark. For the money, would you have the ducati over the triumph speed triple rs ?
Yes I would take the Ducati, I find the Triumph electronics just to restrictive and nannying. It's a real shame as other than that lovely bike and spec for the money. But try them yourself of course 👍
@@LambChopRides thanks for the advice, I'll give them both a try 👍 I did have the previous streetfighter and loved it.
Would you prefer this one ore the Speedy 1200rs? I mean in real life they have similar prices :)
Nice fair review. Seems like a decent bike despite a few niggles, but a little disappointing as it's not cheap.. You seemed to have a similar overall opinion of the MV 800, so out of interest, which would you choose?
Yeah I think a comparison with the Brutale might be needed...
@@LambChopRides Interesting proposition. Seems like a job for Greg.
😍
My goodness. on the bike you can see how big chop is 🤣
I was so underwhelmed with sf v2 much prefer the sdr and speed 1200. 15k on a bike and not even a fuel gauge in 2022
I feel like with all these complaints Ducati will add it on the next year model. At least I hope.
I love the V2 but unfortunately I crashed it on the first day driving it
I would have the new MT10SP for that money
But the looks 🤮
@@Inked_CR You do not see that when you are enjoying riding it and enjoying the sound of the lovely R1 engine. Just look the other way when you park it up ;)
@@WolfgangVonKempelen838 I hear you, rides amazing. But if I'm spending 16k, I wanna look back at it and think, wow. Not ughhh 🤣
