Jake, honestly, if it were me, I’d stick with the R9 and cancel the V2. I’d even consider maybe even sell the MT-07 since you’ve already got the supermoto, and the R9 could fill that gap nicely. The V4 though? That’s a beast and totally worth considering; it’s like the perfect upgrade for those H2-less days, and feels more worth it than gambling on whether the V2 or R9 fits better. But hey, it's your garage anyway...

not gonna lie man you should go with the middle weights because You Still have your MONSTER of a bike H2.
for raw aggression you have H2
for usability n stuff you have the MT07
R9 and V2 are great beautiful bikes you should maybe play it safe especially after a crash like the one you had (Best of luck ahead)
Love you and whatever you do!! peace out

“Paint so shiny you can see my feet right there”
This is the quickest way to sell any bike ever

And get creepy messages from strangers but besides the point

As a fellow Ducati owner I am Ducati all the way >:)

How many Miles does Mad Maxie have on his H2? 60k? He Rides the hell out of his!

[Nevets]

If it was me: Cancel the R9, sell the MT-07, order 2025 Streetfighter V2 as your naked bike. Get Panigale V4 for speedy time, keep 698 Mono for funsies. Perfect Ducati garage + an H2 for stustustu noises.

the voices are catching up to you 4:50 😭

Which is better? Depends on how you want to use it. The Ducati will leave the Kaw in the dust in the twisties, is more exotic, is better for its purpose. If you want cool and fast in a straight line and that thrill, then the kaw is your ticket.

[HemiBurns]

It’s a no brainer, cancel the slow shit 😂… and get the new V4

[Waldo]

The Ducati was built to go through curves not go down a drag strip. Let's promote riders learning how to actually ride their motorcycle and not just go in straight lines... Let us not turn into ImKay where you're still duck walking your bike for a U-Turn 5+ years into riding.

Great video! You mentioned that you don’t think the electronic suspension on the Panigale V4 S is justified. Since you’ve ridden the S model, could you explain more about why you feel that way? I live in Houston and I’m considering getting one of these 2025 models. Do you think it makes more sense to go for the base model and save the extra money? Especially for street riding in a flat city like Houston, I wonder if adjusting the regular suspension to my weight would provide a similar experience without spending the extra $8, 000–$9, 000. Your perspective as someone who’s tested both would be really helpful!

I enjoyed that as i am thinking of getting the ducati march next year and like yourself am constantly deliberating weather to sell my H2 2015, but dont think i ever will all for the same reasons, i use it on cold to cool days mainly amd save my gen3 busa for hot days, my H2 sx for most ocations and distance, cbr1100xx6 for lazy moderate or overcast journeys and triumph 400x for rain, dirt, round town, shopping 😅 secretly never been a fan of single sided s/arms😮 hence the 25 ducati 😅

I think you should definitely sell the MT-07 it mostly fits the same role as your sumo. I also think you should absolutely keep your order for both the R9 and the V2. They are both brand new designs made to go head to head in world supersport that's going to be a content gold mine.
If the R9 follows the R7 hype as well you should easily be able to keep it for 6 months to a year get all the content you need and resell it for what you paid if not more.

As for the V4 it's sweet but so many influencers are going for it so content creation wise I don't think it's a smart call.

You just need the intercooler for the h2. Worth it for the noise. I also love the kawasaki green accents. They really set the bike apart. But yeah the 2025 v4 really is special for an italian hyperbike. Its an affordable lambo or ferrari.

[CVtheChosen]

They are both really good… lol. I wouldnt be able to choose between the two. I love the blow off valve sounds.

5:23 ...So... what bike CAN I drive Grandma to her guitar lesson? 😂

[tahasoomro]

there two really good bike owner, one who takes care of his bike and maintains it and then there is the other who pays a professional to do it

[Ducationtop_]

I definitely do not have the money to own all these bikes, and nor do I actually have a connection to any of ur bikes like you do. But what I might do is cancel the V2, sell the mt07, and then get the r9 and the V4. Maybe consider test riding the V2? Thanks for frequent uploads, love ur vids❤️👍🏽🤙🏽

[sandywatson]

Look idk what you think about this but if 6 is too many bikes, ID get the v2 and the r9 BUT sell the mt-07 as in my eyes you’d either ride the r9 or supermoto and the 07 wouldn’t get riddden. I’ve never ridden a 4v so I don’t truly know how it makes you feel and I’d 100% keep the h2 as the mad 1000, I wouldn’t get the 4v and Mabey get the intercooler or as you said in a previous vid that you kinda like it holding you back by the overheating. Ultimately it’s YOUR decision and just do what you. Love all your vids man and keep it up.❤️
