2023 Ducati Streetfighter V2 Review 

Hey there! Great video BTW, I just found your channel! I love both the classic wet and dry clutch Monsters, but there's a road and a track (time and place) for both. The dry clutch of the V4 is soooo Ducati...but like my M620, the V2 would just be more fun for regular riding.

Depends what you're moving from. I've had a 959 Panigale since 2017 and about to jump to the Street Fighter V4S. The V2, apart from the missing panels and straight handle bars (edit: and single sided swing arm), looks identical to the 959. Was thinking about getting the under-seat Akrapovičs but that's another £6K! So maybe not! Shame because they look bad ass + I have the under belly Akrapovičs on my 959 which sound amazing. Great video bud.

@@dom9882 Thank you for sharing your story with the group. I appreciate it.

Personally like the V2. Seems like more useable power. Don’t need 200 hp. Also the 10k less it’s more affordable than the v4. Wouldn’t be doing much track days so for me the v4 is just too much bike for me

V2.

I know. It grew on me

It is a great bike. I love the V2. It makes more sense.

I own the v2, love every second I’m on it. Get it!

Let us know how you like it

Glad you like it. Let us know how much you are enjoying it.

@@RemboUSMC it’s pretty nifty for moving around town. Wish Orlando had as empty streets as your videos do in Pompano area. Still it’s so precise and easy to move through I4 traffic it makes commuting relatively easy to get from home to office so far. Have to get those break in miles done so I can really rev her out. Can’t wait for that. There are also aftermarket windscreens available (which I intend to buy at some point) to make some moderate longer distances viable. I wouldn’t go cross country necessarily on it but planning a trip up to Atlanta area for next year with it. 5-6 hours with a few stops for bike food and human fuel should make it pretty feasible as I travel light by nature anyways. To be perfectly honest it’s probably my dream bike. I feel like it fits me darn near perfectly. I’m 5’10” and approx 220 so I need to lose a few pounds but the ergos are spot on. I have appreciated having a seat warmer in these last few cool and rainy days in central Florida; we’ll see how that changes next summer. The only things I know for sure I want to do to it are get some bar end mirrors (the stock ones are just about useless for me as they just like to showcase my elbows or shoulders) a tail tidy and maybe carbon wrap the silver plastic pieces on the radiator on the fuselage/frame. Radiator guards are on order from Evo tech already as they are more or less a requirement on a bike whose entire front end is radiator essentially. But other than that all I want to do for now is ride ride and ride.

Storm green is dope just needs some bronze wheels or something to make the black rims pop more

That is great feedback. Thank you for sharing with us.

It’s true! Bought my bike new and it was a bit clunky and after 300 miles it’s so smooth and buttery and the quick shifter is sooo smooth. I’m sure it’ll get even better!

Thank you very much.

Thank you!

Thanks for the info! Enjoy the bike. Did you buy that RS660?

@@RemboUSMC no the 21 V4 Tuono Factory sitting in the triumph section back there.

Check the dyno graphs, the V4 makes more torque everywhere.

Absolutely. The middleweights just make more sense.

@@stuartlester7586 for me, that’s what makes it fun. My favorite bike ever was a 748S, because you had to wring it’s neck out to make any sort of progress. A 1098 is a torque monster, though, so I can see how the SF V2 would be underwhelming compared to what you’re used to riding.

Yes, I really liked it.

I like it too

Agree

Largest factor for weight loss on any bike after 2009 is exhaust....specifically the catalytic converter. This bike has about 26lbs of slung underbelly.

Might be for the better since they all fail lol

The best thing for you to do would be to go to a dealer and sit on the bike and see how it feels to you. Your inseam and your comfort level with riding motorcycles will help determine the answer to your question. Coming from a Harley Davidson Street bob to a bike like this is like going from an old pick up truck to a Lamborghini.

@@RemboUSMC thank you!

I am having a warranty issue with KTM so I am not happy with them right now. Very disappointing. I am partial to the Ducati Streetfighter V2.

Best decision ever 👏👏👏 with the new updates I think I rather spend a little more and get the v4

Lmaoo. I get what ur saying but eventually u will get use to this n wild out too. I am the same way.

Nah, you've gotta be very careful with whatever bike you are on, even if you do get a V4.

I'm going to guess timing belt. Key word is guess.

The superquadros have been using timing a chain since introduced in 2012.

@Kyle Dean so it's timing Chain not belting you're saying?

@@khairirais Hopefully he answers. The photos I took of the inside of the V4 GrandTurismo was chain but I can't speak for the V2 in the Streetfighter.

@Rembo USMC yeah hopefully he reply. I was thinking of getting the 2023 Streetfighter next year but ducati Valve clearance is quite steep especially it it is timing belt. Those ducati owners I spoke to says ducati that runs on timing Chain are slightly cheaper to maintain hence my question 😅

That is still a lot of money.

A lot of money but the enjoyment of just owning it and talking to your mates on mt10 yeah I own a duc

No fuel gauge

@@RemboUSMC how the hell can any petrol powered vehicle in 2022 have no petrol gauge 🤔😂

It's not a big deal, really. The V4 can't have a fuel gauge because of its complicated tank shape. I mean, I'm sure it could, but it would be complicated. On the V2 I guess they just don't want to offer more features than on the V4.

@@twowheelin7361 Great question! We are all wondering.

I almost didn't buy this bike because of the lack of the fuel gage and lack of TPMS. After some thought, I rode without these things for 20yrs, so no biggie. I have only missed the tpms so far.

LOL, 1/4" taller than I was (past tense)

v2s will still have no fuel gage. trust me

I'd mod this to be a blacked out as possible and go with tge military vibe, but yeah, Ducati and Ferrari should all be born red!!

I like the storm green. Now, I’m not a Ducati rider; never was really interested in Ducati’s, but the storm green with the yellow shock drew me in. Now seeing the specs and quite a few videos, I’m sold on this bike. I do want to black out most of the parts other than the fairings though.

I saw the storm green in person last week. Fell in love with it 😍

The Yamaha MT 10 is a fantastic bike and very smooth

Mt 10 ugly as 🤮

Unfortunately the new Yamaha nakeds are the ugliest bike to ever grace the earth. The streetfighter on the other hand is the best looking bike ever made.

It’s about a lot more than speed dude. The Ducati is absolutely beautiful, it’s exhaust sound is insane, handling is second to none, the electronics package is great, the up and down quick shifter and more. The Ducati is a way better buy

@@AxeAfrika242agreed

LOL

I agree with you 100% , v2 panigale is more then enough, v4 is something insane, it’s hard to explain to people what is V4 , they won’t understand, I would choose too SF V4S over SF v2 , is more comfortable

Triumph makes a great motorcycle.

Lol you bought a British bike??🤣

Semper Fi back at you.
