Ducati Panigale V2 road review - the best baby Ducati sports bike yet? 

Lovely review. I have one & I adore it. After an hr I feel 20 again. After two hrs I feel 90! 😂

Great review! As someone who has owned a 959 and currently owns a V2 I can say they are fantastic bikes. The 959 felt amazing to me and had far more power than I would ever need on the road but it just lacked that final bit of Ducati sexiness.. the double-sided swingarm and the shotgun exhaust lost its charms. Both the V2 and the 959 have rigid mirrors sadly and I broke them on both bikes.. some CRG Arrows fixed the looks and the safety so I can see behind me now. If anyone gets on one of these bikes, I'd be surprised if you can get off it without a huge smile at the end! Ride safe everyone.

Appreciate the review, thanks for letting us know and taking us along for the ride. 🔥💪

Actually valuable commentary, unlike some channels. Thanks

It's not all Americans who clean their bikes like show vehicles. I only was my bikes if they happen to get rode in the rain or if they just look horrible. When I see a bit of dirt and grim on a bike, I know it's ridden, not just polished and stored. Great video!!!

Looking forward to the 11th November when the V2 Streetfighter is launched

Rode one of these yesterday along with the Monster, v2 Multistrada and v2 street fighter and was blown away by the V2 Panigale at SMC Bikes in Sheffield. Thanks Josh👍 Had to apologise to my Honda CBR650R on the way home for lusting after one! I have started saving up for one, what a machine! Despite a slight cocky when I noticed the bike was in Race Mode ! And my with my shiny full license in January! Yes it’s quick but it’s so damn good to ride it wasn’t a handful even in race mode. Spent the whole time chuckling and saying what a machine to myself! I am now in love with a stylish Italian ! Great review and while my BSB racer Sons attitude was nice bike but a bit slow (he has the V4S and the V4SP2 on order) I Definitely want one as my next bike! Josh at SMC has kindly offered me an extended test ride some time despite me not being in the market for one in the near future I am planning to meet up with my son there and go for a ride with him on a Pair of Panigale’ it’s going to be mint!

I love the sound of this bike ❤ This is my next bike and this review just made me want it even more.

One of the best reviews of the Pani V2 on the web - thank you!

Great video . I've done a few hundred miles on a V2 and agree with your review. Well described comments. Some nice roads where you are , shame about the weather , population and potholes 😁

Love your reviews Tim. Keep it up.

Hey, awesome and real world honest review. I absolutely love this 'baby'. Isn't it a weird thing to call this powerful bike 'the baby Panigale' cos it's still a formidable beast in it's self. I would love to have this as a second track bike, but then again I'm greedy for bhp so it would have to be a V4 cos it's better at saving front tyre wear.

Great review, beautiful motorcycle, plenty of power for the road!

Test rode this and the 950S SuperSport - bought the SuperSport. For 'real world' conditions, the 950S is simply the better ride - less-compromised seating, arguably better suspension, and still plenty of power. The V2 wins hands-down for a track day, but if you're mostly after a ride for fast back-roads, commuting to work, and the occasional track day, the SuperSport just makes more sense I feel.

Excellent review! Also i wonder if the cows see you and think "There he is, Tim the bald man"

Great review, thanks! Looking forward to the 950S review, and would be interested to hear how you feel it compares to the V2. Subscribed!

LOVE and now I'm buying one!

As an American who lived in the UK for 3 years- I get it!!!! Good review....even with the dirty bike. :)

Great video once more…..now subscribed loving the Dukes!

I miss my 959 so much, but as a cripple I just couldn't ride the thing- such a shame.

The mirrors on my 899 fold in but stupidly the 959 onwards do not. As silly as this sounds, it will be one of the main reasons I do not update any time soon. I need folding mirrors due to storage accessibility issues. Love my 899 anyway 😍

I got the same exact helmet and a 2022 panigale V2, but in the beautiful sunny FL lol

New sub and a like 👍! Great review dude, I own the Speed TripleRS and I was actually considering trading it in for the V2 just on looks alone as 180 bhp on my Triumph is lush but I agree it’s so unusable for 90% of the time but I think the V2 will be the same tbh ! Ahhhh dunno 🤷🏾 maybe I just keep the Triumph 🤪

Great review, I went down the Multi V2S route, but if I could still ride sports bikes I’d be saying take my money, stunning and plenty for the road but then so has the Supersport. Shame about the mirrors…

Awesome review again! Thanks! :)

What does a scheduled service cost? Do you have to take the whole bike apart to do the valves yourself?

Lions having a tea party 😂 love it

If someone is responsible, would you say they could get it as a starter bike?

I’m thinking of getting the Street Fighter V2

Top review.

I think the V2 sounds and looks better (except for the exhaust) than the V4. Definitely the one I'd go for regardless of dollar bucks

I think I am going for the rs660 because I mainly drive on the street, but the V2 is simply too sexy but also too powerful for the street

This is nice but sf v2 is a must wait

Great bike. Anyone who thinks of a 150hp bike as baby is either clueless or never ridden one. This thing can out drag a Lamborghini.

as a Californian, I probably would clean this bike after every single ride lol

As an American, I simply can not believe how narrow your country roads are! You're riding this 180mph superbike on roads that are so narrow, that when a car comes the other way, they have to be driving in the grass on the other side just to avoid you. What do you do when there are actually two CARS coming from opposite directions??? These "two lane" roads are the same width as most people's driveways here in the US.

Slightly *what* leathers?

The new Monster is the real baby Ducati

Do I part ex my 1098 for one of these🤷‍♂️

Thought they were £14,995?

Why would anyone think it’s a baby? This was The Panigale before the v4 was an option at all.

I had you down as a kangaroo leathers guy

Agree on the mirrors they are the same as the V4. Very cheap and slightly useless.

V4 too much for the road but V2 plenty but ideal.

What baby this is a powerfull streetbeast broo

Akrapovick so expensive! Rather get a different make and save lots of cash👍

The cows love ducatis.....I'm sure

15k ant no baby NOTHING lol... 15k is a end game bike- we need to stop normalizing 35k-45k bikes as end game type bikes... those are racing track bikes.

Want one great review thanks !

My god that bike sounds so disappointing for a Duke. Euro5 bullshit - unbelievable
