2022 Ducati Streetfighter V2 | Road + Track Review 

So much better than basically every other review of this bike.

The real star of this report is Nige. He's everywhere! Amazing the ground that guy can cover! And he's always exactly where you need him to be, opening gates and barriers, holding bikes, sorting tyre warmers, etc. The guy truly is omnipotent. Big ups to Nige.

The video I’ve been waiting for sometime !! What an absolute beauty of a bike, Ducati have done it again !! 👏 👏 FORZA DUCATI !!

I get excited every time I see a new 44 teeth video, especially sportbike ones! Love your work, thanks guys!!

loved the track lap commentary, would like to see this on every future review with a track included, as always amazing work!

You guys are easily becoming my favorite motorcycle reviewers. Keep killing it guys, cheers from across the pond! 🇺🇸🍻

Damn £4,000 for Akrapovic and £1,100 for wings, that’s £5,100 damn that’s a decent second hand bike 😲

Really curious about this, as a long time Ducati lover and finally getting the chance to jump into the brand with a Monster 821 I've been looking at this with a very keen eye, haven't watched any other reviews, this is the one I was looking forward to most!

The Ducati low speed roughness is caused by running super lean to meet emissions, all the Ducati's that I owned had the Termi kit and tune which took away the slow speed issues. I know it sucks to spend a couple grand to "fix" an already expensive bike but the effect is well worth it. It isn't for everyone but Duc's just have such personality that most other bikes just don't have. Note: my favorite bike I've owned was a CBR 1100XX.

awesome review been waiting all week for this , great job faggan . love the track review .

Love it! Great video, hoping to chop my ST RS in for one next year woop woop

Finally. Been waiting for this since the v4.

been waiting for this for three years

Great review & long live the Ducati V-Twin. Love it & my new favourite bike. The perfect sporty road going naked imo.

Best reviews as always! 👍🏼

Ohhhhhhh yes been looking forward to this one!!!

Great content, loved the talked through hot lap too.

Love it, could have done with some chat about the dash and electronics that come with it. Spiffing vid as always.

A shot for every time Fagan says “That’s for sure” 🍻😂

It is madness we are labelling a 950cc as middle weight. What I love the most about my SFV4S is the S. If I could get a V2 with that sweet sweet Öhlins suspension, I'd go for V2 in a heartbeat.

Brilliant review

Sounds better stock than most other brand bikes sound with aftermarket exhausts. Nice review Nige! Keep it steady mate.

sounds glorious , nice riding Al

Top review, cheers Nige

Great review of the V2 Streetfighter Al. The Chief designer of the V2SF Sam McCafferty came up to Auckland’s Ducati dealership- Cyclespot on Friday from his home in the Capital City of Wellington and gave 100 of us from the NZ Ducati Owners Club, a slide presentation and very informative talk about what went into the design and construction of the new V2SF. The attention to detail being very impressive. They also had a V2SF and V4SF on show and they are incredible bits of kit to look at. I can’t wait to go test ride one in the near future.

Very very enjoyable, getting addicted to your videos , jealous on so many counts , firstly you saying how comfy the seat is , my 1100 monster has a scaffold plank tilted at ridiculous rake that squashes ur nuts into the tank . Secondly jealous of ur talent wish I had half of it I'd be chuffed , but as usual the commentary is precise and bloody funny . Top job

Great fun at a big premium. Nice review Fagan!

Great review!!!! Dont change anything xxxxxxx

Wow Al!! 😮 Absolutely abusing that V2 to its limit on those tyres there bud. You guys are head and shoulders above anyone else in the upper echelon of Journalists for your content. So exciting to watch. Love it guys!!

Great video Al.

Great review ........again .

And thanks for this review 🤠

Looks like some fun roads mate 👍

great video - thinking of getting one

loved the review of your lunch too, Nige. haha beef lumps

Love the intro and the music 🎶

Been waiting for this!!

That engine sounds just like my ‘14 899. I love it.

Brilliant review Al. You covered absolutely everything. 😎 I must admit though none of my jeans fit over my bike boots so I have to tuck them in. What’s the solution? Some 1970’s bell-bottoms? 🤪 Oh and where’s the BBB? I’m dying for this one. Anyway, top work as always. 👍🏻

Nice review as always but missed your wheelies. Were the organisers too strict or did the bike just not like doing them?

44tooth really knows there thing good job

Nailed it Nige ! 👍

Great video, I like the comments you make like a regular dude that rides.

Superb review, I think you actually made that bike look better than Ducati intended.

I can't believe we get to watch content of this quality for free 😍

Those roads are insane! And so quiet you'd have thought Ducati paid to have them closed

Great vid, as per usual. Been looking forward to this one! A couple of observations, one…Sam McCafferty, the designer, is a Kiwi! He’s not an Australian. Yes, I know, some might think I’m being picky, but for us NZers, it matters 😉😁👍. Two, the UK and Euro pricing seems much higher than NZ and Australia. The RRP here in NZ is $23,495. Which is £12,145…quite a bit less than what you lads have to pay. No idea why, but we’re not complaining 😊😘

Cheers Nige!

Great vid nige

When I grow up, I want to be just like Al, just putting it out there...missed being a member so rejoined...yay!

Nice one Nige. I prefer it without wings.

Adding the Full Sport Exhaust System and remap gives this Bike a bid difference in Torque and then there's the host of addons including Entertainment System with GPs Bluetooth and more. The MT10 would come close to this in performance with a larger array of upgrade options and cheaper too

I appreciate your mirror candor. I read that gripe so often in reviews, even going as far as to mark a bike down vs. its rivals. Personally, every pair of mirrors on every bike I've owned in my 30 years of riding has gone strait in the bin. They're all various degrees of useless so just turn your head!

Great review and appreciate the reality check on the price tags for bike and options. It's so easy to get sucked into Ducati budgeting that you can forget just how expensive it all is. I mean, lovely bike, but with those carbon wings and the Akro exhaust.... just how much SHOULD a "midsized" naked cost? And for the record, I've ridden Ducs since 1985 and my F1A.

Good job Jas..cracking review, the SFV2 seems to have carved out a really interesting niche for itself…very tempting!

Beef lumps 4 lunch & ridden by a beefy lump 'Jason' great vid cheers dears, Pete in Italy x

“I had some beef lumps for lunch” top content nige

Nice review, but the main question remains: were you faster than the guy from MCN and Bikeworld?

Awesome test 👍🏻. When is it time for the next BBB?

Love mine, it's handles so well

Norty and sporty 😂😂 best bike reviews on RU-vid no doubt.

What bike do you think would be more comfortable for longer trips SF v2 or 2020 speed triple rs

Legend has it the having Neevesy appear in your video is good for at least 500 likes. Well played.

Best reviews in the game

Great review of a nice bike Nige. 16k is too much tho, you can almost get Tuono Factory for that

I am glad you highlighted the price which everyone seems to be ignoring. Ducati know they will sell it that's what brand image can do. It really is a 13k bike

Yaaaas, more good stuff from Statham and entertaining as always. Loved the V4 stuff and wondered how the V2's would fare in the marketplace as you said its in a class alone. I wonder also as you said the front end needed stiffening oh er when Ducati send Multistradas out they are all set manually for 15kg (yes you read that right) rider weight despite all the electronic trickery of skyhook. Maybe they are still doing it with other models. Both mine came with that setting and winding them up 6 full turns makes a world of difference as the front doesnt dive like a submarine on a crash dive anymore under heavy braking.

This has to be the best TV you can possibly watch.

In this price and power bracket I believe it's sits in a group test with the mt-10 and s1000r etc, rather than 890R and co. It's expensive but as you said that's the Ducati premium. I like it, great review too.

I love the review of the cuisine, “beef lumps”. That’s the technical chef term.

So much noise on the track were you trapping the nodger on the brakes today,, 😊😊😊😊 good review as you can ride a bike alright,, from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

It's stunning, that'll help it sell. Sales volumes will live or die on the finance deals available, it's all about the monthlies!

I used to own a 2009 1098 streetfighter just wondering if you ever rode the older ones & if so how much difference would you say between them.

Excellent video footage.Great looking bike supported by a stupid price.Thanks.

Would love your feedback on choice between this Streetfighter V2 or the Panigale V2 for occasional commuting and weekends in the country and mountains. They are both still rare in Australia but trying to decide on laying down a deposit. P.S. I currently have a Woolich Tuned 2019 MT10.

So which is better ? A monster 1200s or this Streetfighter v2 ?

Fabulous ❤️

I can’t wait for the new MT-10 SP to be featured here. I’m curious if this bike will be mentioned as competition at that time?

Nice review. I had to turn off the VD review with that dreary Toad dribbling on. Much better review as always 👍

Just for street riding, this or the 950 hyper SP?

2:25 Don't knock it that's a long standing Ducati trademark!!! 😂🤣😂

Looks good

Do you think that this bike would have a more or less comfort seating position than a 2020 Speed triple rs?

Massive amount of new bike releases at the end of 2021 and they all look pretty fantastic. It's interesting to compare the bike market against the car market as there's so much variety for two wheels but if you're looking for a new car, it's probably a hybrid or electric SUV. Could this be the best ever time to be motorcycling?

Are you guys coming to the states next year???

2:28 Personally I’d just bar ends on it and call it a day. Great review as always!

Fagan you mentioned it needs a little bit more front support but at the same time you time you mentioned there isnt much weight transfer. Can you explain what that means in terms of front spring stiffness? Seems contradictory.

We need a dedicated rsv4 2021 review 🥺

I know there 2 different bikes, but without thinking about it.... hyper950 SP or this bike??

That's such a unique rear suspension mechanism. I've never seen anything like that on another bike.

This is dope

Nigel, how would you rate it to the new Street Triple you almost clocked track record with?

I am down to the V2 or the 2022 S1000R. I am selling 2020 Street Triple RS. What would be your choice?

Did they add cruise control?

Power aside, is it better on road and track than the 890R?

How many semi's did you get?.

The designer isn't an Ozzie he's a Kiwi :) Good vid.

Will be interesting to see the residuals in a year or two

Fresh julian ryders 😂 im stealing that one

🔥🔥
