Bought mine in May, I couldn't be happier, it's literally exactly what I wanted. Faster than my 600 but not stupid fast like an R1 and it's hands down the best looking bike on the market. Shit just typing this out makes me want to go pull it out for a ride.
You really nailed this review, well paced and articulate, being an owner of the V2 white version you are talking to the converted, being an avid surfer the saying is " only a surfer knows the feeling" the same could be said to riding a Panigale V2, I recently had an older gentleman approach me on the street and said your bike looks like a piece of art, say no more.
the "go in the garage and stare at it" part go me so bad! so ture brother! its really a thing. as wired as its sound somedays you just sit there and watch it. haha.never happen with other bikes i owned before. such a unique feeling.
Just had mine carboned out and got the SC Project exhaust on it. I have to now wear ear protection when going on rides. I have a new V4R and a new SP2 but the V2 is definitely more fun for me on the streets. My V2 was my first bike and will never sale it...!
My last bike was a Ducati Monster and I live in Australia. Riding anything in most parts of Australia in summer is always uncomfortable. I now ride a K1300S BMW and have been doing so for about 10 years. It is not as bad as the Ducati in summer. Luckily in Australia we're allowed to lane split.
Oh wow this video is so well made, You deserve more views, hope you can somehow review more bikes/vehicles on rent ^^ you have seriously skills conveying your experience with the vehicle You have kind of pushed me towards considering purchasing this bike if I ever get the money in the future, thank you ^^
Nice review man. As a '21 V4 owner, after 8K miles (11K over 2 bikes - RIP), I still wouldn't trade it for any other bike. The feeling you get when you twist the noise generator... 😛😃
Wow, do they still sell VW Jetta's in the U.S.? A real nondescript VAG machine! Nice review of a nice bike. Personnally I still have the hots for an Aprilia RSV RF.
Would you say it’s a good daily sport bike to ride everyday? And i heard before that it’s better then other sport bikes because the handle bars aren’t as low down.
I don’t own a panigale myself, but as somebody who rides a supersport everyday to work (and one with aggressive riding position, i might add); i feel that it’s the bike’s size and throttle response that are the bigger factors - as opposed to how low the handlebars are. Of course, there are other things to consider as well, like what sort of traffic you’re going to face, ambient temperature, etc. I’ve been riding the same bike for 7 years now, and i can say i’m quite comfortable with it (apart from the first 2 weeks, that is 😅)
