Ducati Streetfighter V2 is so much more than just an affordable V4 alternative.

I was a little frustrated by the lack of cruise control and fuel gauge...the heated grips can be added, but the others can't. That frustration didn't last long, though, once I got reacquainted with having to use the trip meter to give me a clue as to distance covered and so remaining range (I don't rely on fuel warning lights). The lack of cruise control still occasionally irks a little, but I'll get over it - it's such a great bike to ride (and look at).

I was fortunate enough to test ride this bike on road and track, really liked it. No fuel gauge is a big problem for me as I’d like to take my bike to the less populated roads and I don’t want to be stranded one day because I forgot to put fuel in. Cruise control I can do without, never felt comfortable to use it anyway. Went with the new mt10 sp instead.

Love your reviews guys, such an underestimated channel. Keep up the good work, we like quality over quantity.

[jamesfisher]

Matt, Glad you survived rubber side down and kept a happy relationship with Ducati.

Come ride in Greece, it was 23 degrees here in Corinth couple days ago LOL! Nice review, I love V2s, I ride a Buell and if I won the lottery I'd collect every V2 I could get my hands on, from Morini corsaro 1200 to Voxan, to KTM RC8R etc... But no luck, so I'm happy with my XB12R!

Thanks for everything, Matt. Really enjoyed all your reviews, rants and tangents

Saw one of these in the Lamborghini green at the local dealer this morning - looks better than I thought it would. The V2 is a bargain next to the V4 here in Australia about AU$22k for the V2 and AU$37k for the V4SP (not seen many non-sp about).

Yet another Ducati V2 that’s better than the V4 version, well on the road anyway, and yes I love my Multistrada V2S. Another good review Matt…

[davesnowpros]

Tough to ride loose and well when the temperatures are in single digits. You end up with so many clothes on its tough to move your neck and upper body. My rule is I don't ride when it's less than 10°c.

Thanks for suffering for us all to produce this Matt.

Great review! I realllyyyy want to test ride one. I absolutely love my trusty ol’ SF 848, and would love add a SF V2 next to it, one day.

[nidmag]

You are 100% right about 1098 SFS which luckily I owned once upon a time..then I got 848 - I was really happy with the ease that bike offered. I wouldn’t even think trying the new SF V2 after I discovered that my 2020 SFV4S has the “STREET MODE”, meaning less but more useable and enjoyable power in the city. Have you ever tried to ride V4 in “Street mode” rather than in “sport” or God forbid “race”..?😅

[bruceleong]

I beg to differ Matt. The V2 is not a powerful enough road bike for a rider of my immense talent and physical prowess. In fact, I’m so well endowed the V4 is not enough so I’m waiting for the 600bhp V10. 😉

[nidmag]

I see a lot of you lovely people talk about fuel gauge so allow me to share my experience with SFV4 milage - once I made 50 kilometres and the other time 40 (from fuel warning lamp on) before my bike shut down. Can’t remember in which mode I rode but probably the first time in “sport” mode and second most probably “race” much of the time.

Funny that the nearest thing to the V2 superbikes/motogp bikes in terms of chassis (alu perimeter) is a sv1000...

[markreynolds]

Would like to see a V2sf vs monster Sp review.
Which is best for the road n occasional track day, like most of us mortals ride.

[michaelmckenna]

If you had the money would you have bought the SFV2 instead of the MT09?

[fyorbane]

Great bike but the cost is too much. For similar or less money you can buy a new Tuono [which I have], Triumph 1200 Speed Triple, BMW S1000R or the new Yam MT10. I think a fairer price would be, say 15, 000 Euros. I think that would make it a better buying proposition. Went to a Ducati dealer here in Normandy and there were several V2 Streetfighters lined up all unsold.

[Omar-bhyf]

I rather have a v2 over an mt-10, and a lot of other nakeds but if you can afford the v4, no brainer.

[reidspeed]

As it is lacking the heated rear hugger and and telescopic walking sticks I decided to go whith the honda grom

[craigjohnson]

I've never seen someone so scared riding a bike😁
