- Ducati's entry level Streetfighter gets an update and a new name for 2022, but does the newly monikered Streetfighter V2 justify its premium price tag in the highly competitive battle of the unpaired middleweights?
Insidebikes tasked Carl Stevens to find out.

Great review.. Clear and to the point without waffle.. wondering why u don’t have more subscribers👍🏼
Greetings from Sydney
Great review mate with a smile
Mine is on back order
Hopefully will take the delivery in next few months
Great review thanks, pick mine up Saturday, I know it's not the fastest bike out there but plenty for me and it's just as much the ownership of it as riding it 👌
When did you Order it?
@@robinbe7492 September last year 👍
How do you like it?
I'm loving it so far, I know it hasn't had universal good reviews but the more I ride it the more I love it, it feels special and feels like an older Ducati somehow.
It is very fast, and it is also a gorgeous motorcycle man! Congratulations for the acquisition man! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Just bought this bike. Coming from a s1000rr and a Yamaha r6. This is the best bike I’ve owned for the road.
I came from a gsxr 600 and absolutely love the streetfighter v2, I just got it yesterday but I'm already in love. I don't know how fast the 1000 bikes are because I have never rode one, but comparing this to a 600 it is fast and doesn't disappoint. good luck shopping and ride safe!
@@quaffncoff1718 s1000rr had 14k rpms, to feel it’s sheer power I had to be above 9k rpm. That bike was pointless on streets. I love v2s low down grunt.
Liter bikes with 200hp are like instead of sheer enjoying let me shit my pants and cheat death one more time kinda deal lmao.
@@ridewithjamal3356 I have put 600 miles on the v2 and am loving it. I have been keeping it under 6k rpm because it says to for break in. I can't wait to fully open her up!
@@quaffncoff1718 lol I couldn’t resist. I took it around 7-8k rpm and I’m at 186 miles 😂
Would've thought the S1000R, single R would've been better than this?
Ive owned a Yamaha R1 and a GSXR 750 and now I own the V2. I'd take the V2 any day. The R1 was faster but it was straight line speed and not very comfortable. The V2 is PLENTY fast and handles like a dream, it can shred the twisty roads like nothing Ive been on. I am a way better rider on this bike and enjoy the seating position so much more.
I picked up mine yesterday, I love it! My old bike was a 2005 gsxr 600 and I am not disappointed on the streetfighter v2. I have never rode a 1000 gsxr or a liter bike, so I am not sure if the v2 is as fast as those but to me it is super fast and I love how easy it is to handle. I am 5 foot 8 inches tall and I feel super comfortable on it. I also think it sounds amazing and like the valve in the exhaust, so when just cruising at low speeds it gets super quiet and not drone. Even though no wind protection it does cut threw the wind. I rode a 2018 ducati scrambler 1100 and they are both naked bikes and I felt like the streetfighter diverted the wind better. But i also plan on getting a wind screen for it, it comes in a week so I can let anyone know how it is if you ask me lol. But all in all I wanted a sport bike that didn't kill my back like the gsxr 600 and I think this is a great upgrade to a bike like that. If you ride a liter bike you may want the v4 version. Awesome review!
When did you Order it?
@@robinbe7492 January 1st
Quaffncoff, are you using the optional 20mm lower seat or the stock seat?
I’m 5’8” as well and considering ordering the lower seat. My SFV2 arrives in a month.
Thanks in advance!
@@emunoz587 when did you Order it?👍🏻
@@emunoz587 I am using the stock seat and can basically flat foot both feet, um the bike does seem like you are sitting high but you get use to it really quickly. Hope this helps and happy riding! Love the bike so far!
Done 1,600 miles on mine so far. It’s epic, downsides are it vibrates a lot at low speeds, in town a bit clunky and as you say loads of plastic. But a joy to ride
Aren’t all bikes loads of plastic tho?
Who’s ur insurance with
Literally agree with everything you say about it. Still adore it. Dash vibration is a pain, but it's a shit tonne of fun to ride.
The v2 is still a land rocket on the street.
Its a great machine
Great review. What Alpinestars jacket are you wearing?
Being old and stiff I bought the Multi V2, much more useable too than the V4 version. I’m sure I could find room for one of these in the garage😆👍
SF V2 and multi V2 have a different engine
Dreams bike ❤️
Looks better than the V4..
Agree, no more exagerrated wings
Nice review. How do you like riding around town at lower speeds like under 40mph? I heard the bike vibrates or is clunking at lower speeds. I want to buy this bike. Also, no fuel gauge.
How about the heat
A good bike no doubt. This was on my list for a new bike this year. But several things made me change my mind. The price. It's too expensive for what you really get. You can buy other proper super nakeds for the same or less money. I bought the standard new Aprilia 1100 V4 Tuono [and what a bike that is] for less and that comes with cruise control, a fuel gauge , a nicer bigger TFT screen and of course that legendary V4 motor. As good as this bike is Ducati have dropped a clanger with pricing.
Thanks for something else to look at. I hadn’t heard good things about maintenance on the Aprilia so was not sold. How’s it treating u ?
@@Shadow-nz1dm Brilliant bike. No issues so far. This latest version is the most refined and any niggles with previous models have been ironed out. Aprilia are generally regarded as the most Japanese like of the Italian bike manufacturers so reliability is generally good. The v4 motor is an absolute legend and there is no bike that sounds better. It is so addictive you cannot stop giggling and grinning every time you open the throttle. For the price this bike cannot be beaten in my humble opinion.
I'd go the S1000R over this. Slightly more power and torque. Loads more creature comforts and doesn't clunk around town feathering the clutch all the time. V2 has to be ridden fast 100% of the time...
Can anyone help me insure this bike ? Non existent for someone that only got their license last year
In 30 years you will not have any trouble
@@ittybitbobo7657 well done Sherlock
First time erver I hear somone liking no engine noise. WTF is wrong with you? You enjoy the wind noise in your helmet more or something?
Riding with a hood ive always though maybe a little risky if you do come off, its basically a loose bit of clothing around your neck, which could catch on something when sliding down the road, nicely decapitating you. Maybe i over think these things....... lol
wish my parents would let me ride a motorcycle in the future and buy one when my income permits me to do so 😂
I like your helmet. What is your relationship to Ukraine? Glory Ukraine! 😊
Of course there is a lot of space if your Hobbit-sized.
Obviously got your crib notes stuck on the side of the tank 🙄!
This is just a perfection to see great bike and really bad rider....
“All of them bikes”? “For sta’ers”? Is that English?
Just a shame it's gutless under 8k....
Not true. I just bought it and it’s grunty after 4k revs
@@ridewithjamal3356 yamaha cp3 or cp4 much better, hands down!
@@savvy121 I was really considering those too. But I am big on looks and the SF took that for me. The Yamahas weren’t growing on me.
Maybe I can test ride those and consider one as second bike in future
@@ridewithjamal3356 really...........
U must of come from a fizzie...
I type Street-fighter and get this?? i really wish Motorbike companies would STOP making theses and naming them as Street-fighters! Its just a £15,000 Naked bike trying to be something its NOT!
I and many others find it insulting to us people who wreck them and rebuild them to something unique..... Stick to racing Ducati.!
A streetfighter or muscle bike is a motorcycle of high displacement and horsepower, typically a super bike, with the fairings and windscreen removed. This is the definition of a streetfighter, which this bike represents perfectly. Not sure what you're upset about.
@@Druezy A street fighter is a super sport motorcycle thats been downed or crashed, and then re-built from scratch! re-built with a personal touch and ideas to the basic level and a street-fighter is never finished. it can be any size CC as long as its a super sport, so your saying a 600 GSXR or R6 can not be a street-fighter ?? you can not buy a street-fight or mass production, because every street-fighter is totally different! regardless if its the same bike! Just as you can buy a retro classic cafe racer but its not a real cafe racer is it, because it would have to be a 1950s-60s and 70s road bike made into a sports bike. not some copy from 2022 because the manufacturer says so. The Ducati is a naked super-sport and thats it, there is nothing street-fighter about it when it has fitted plastics and tail etc on a production level
@@itsmybike1078 A street fighter is basically a sports bike with the faring removed, and a higher handlebar.. Who says it has to be damaged or build from scratch? If I bought a panigale V2, crashed it, and build it like the streetfighter V2, would it be a streetfighter then? And a cafe racer is just a naked bike with clipons and a hump back, so you are wrong again.
Can't afford one? 😂😂😂
