[@timothylindsay3244]

At 69 years old, I have to hurry to get this bike and fall in love all over again!

[@19hundoc47]

I own a V2 and it’s incredible. Love everything about it. Plenty of power, handling is unreal. The sound it makes above 8k is so addicting. Best most fun bike I’ve owned and I’ve had faster bikes

[@jk2l]

got a question. do the lack of fuel gauge being issue much? how many km/miles you ride before the fuel signal on?

[@19hundoc47]

@@jk2l it’s not a big deal to me, all the bikes I had when I started riding didn’t have a fuel gauge. I usually just fill up around 100 miles, or when the light comes on.

[@MrWallexxx]

Which other bikes have you had? Asking because it will give me an idea on just how good it is in comparison. TIA

[@wojciechkubik2247]

How about reliability? Im torn between this and new mt09sp

[@19hundoc47]

@@wojciechkubik2247 never had a problem with reliability on either of the Ducatis I’ve owned. The MT09 is a great bike too. Can’t really go wrong. That triple sound is so good, so is the Ducati twin at redline.

[@lbnyrider5666]

I just bought a brand new speed triple 1200RS and sold my 2019 Monster 1200s for it. I haven’t ridden the SFV2 but it has very similar specs to my monster 1200, although the monster had an extra 20lbs torque. Im a true ducatista but it was well worth the switch. The speedy is the most flawless bike I’ve ever ridden. So planted and goes exactly where you place it. Power is incredible yet so manageable. The engine and transmission quick shifter are also buttery smooth, way better than the monster. My suspension is perfect, not stiff like past reviewers said, and also I’m not having a hard time finding neutral. If anyone is considering either of these two, highly consider the speed triple.

[@gerbermw]

loved my speed triple but in my opinion the streetfighter takes the W. Do love that triple cylinder though triumph makes amazing bikes

[@craigjohnson6597]

I've had mine for a month now, love it, puts a smile on my face every ride✌🏽💯

[@Uglykidjophus]

been honestly waiting for this video since the bike debuted. Well done! Best ducati!!

[@mattstakeontheancients7594]

This is a beautiful bike. The power, electronics, and looks for the price seems pretty good especially for a Ducati. Seat height is a little tall for my 5’6” self but so is my current bike.

[@donmatlotv7104]

Nicely done brother / great cinematography love the POV switching to on road footage / just got SF V2 2 weeks ago

[@PeteZa92]

You are the best channel for motorcycle reviews! I love watching these 30 mins because you provide more than just basic information. You show great angles outside of pov and personal insights beyond surface level information. Having a CFMoto 300SS myself I love coming back to watch that video over and again 😅😅 I'm binging all your First Ride series!

[@bella_testastretta]

did you just get into riding? this definitely isn't the best channel for motorcycle reviews. Checkout bike world, 44Teeth, and MCN. that said, chase does the most realistic/user-friendly review that caters to most daily riders.

[@justinmckeown9029]

Great review on the SF V2! I’ve loved these since they debuted and would love to add one next to my SF 848.

[@TheMarcellocelino]

The bike is awesome but not having a gas gauge for me is a deal breaker. I'm too paranoid on running out of gas

[@moglyz9911]

dont need it

[@DesmoMarcel]

This comment makes no sense to me since every single motorcycle I ever owned never had one. Only recently did they start putting them on

[@SICSLIPKNUT]

It's annoying yes but deff not a deal breaker. You kinda figure out how many ks you get before it hits reserve in about a couple of rides.

[@justinjordan4733]

I agree. First bike was a 08 Honda cbr600 rr and it came with gas Guage, just weird seeing bikes not having them. Like all the technology on bikes and gas Gauge ain't coming with them.

[@mattsloop2736]

It has a fuel light that gives you plenty of notice before you run out.

[@Doperides9999]

Best bike and best video about it on whole KZbin. Thank you

[@birajshrestha9044]

My man is back with great bikes 🏍 🙌

[@AlistairCarter-fk9yo]

Awaiting pick up of my own v2, can’t wait, gorgeous looking bike that also performs like a dream.

[@sombre6184]

Add the little fly screen that Ducati sells for this bike, it actually looks good. Great review, awesome bike.

[@2wheels6strings8]

Great review. I love mine!

[@davidfishbough6170]

Hi, your video is spot on with why I purchased a V2, I had the funds to get a V4 but this bike is just too much bike(awesome bike but too much for the everyday ride). I wanted a more everyday bike and the V2 nails this perfectly. Great video review!

[@JagadeeshkumarMbbs]

No gas gauge ..how u manage

[@goldenshark1001]

SF V2 for me, great review man

[@PartyMartysLLC]

I currently own a 2020 Road Glide Limited. As former 1199 Panigale and 821 Monster owner, I look forward to hitting that sweet spot between the two. I no longer associate with my Harley friends and I plan to sell the Harley in a few weeks. I had an MT10 on my list of bikes I’m considering but I think you made up my mind for me!

[@snort8989]

Love reving out my multi v4s to 10.5k… and with the full Akra 👌🏻

[@Deonte2696]

I bought a SFV4S because it was the only one that came in Black. coming from a MT09 it was a nice change.

[@Anonymou5gh0st]

Just finished breaking mine in and Gawdam am I in love ❤

[@Anonymou5gh0st]

Also if you want to like SFV2 pics I’m @maidenless_moto :D

[@eafc2112]

Living in Detroit, just bought a SFV2...last week, today it's 28 degrees and snowing...

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

The reason why you feel more torque after 5500 is because that's when it gets out of it's torque dip that starts around 4000

[@Einungbrekke]

I've never had my Ducatis out of sportsmode. Rain or not, sport all the way. I got a monster 1200 currently. Similar sitting position. The wind never bother me, but then again, I hardly ever go on the highway, I find other ways where I ride just as fast. With my Monster I have no issue having a 500-600 km ride. Have tested the SF V4 and loved it and it felt like I could ride it for almost as long as the Monster. The negative for me on the V4 is price and fuel consumption. Have to stop to fill the tank too often. The V2 is better in that regard, like about 70 km more than the V4. I haven't tested the V2 yet, but hope to do that within the month. Its time to change my Monster and I want this one.

[@helgejohan3604]

Mean machine✊🔥🔥

[@ceejaypilot4226]

OC: V2 for pure enthusiast ride; balance is life.

[@Fittednocap]

Crazy how little you make these bikes look meanwhile I get on it and it’s HUGE 😩😂

[@636theofthebeast8]

This bike has insane desirability levels.

[@proklinkpro]

Tried the multistrada v2 and v4 on the road and I prefered the v2 for it's usable power and playful character. Didn't have to be scared that I did too much crazy stuff with it ;)

[@kataloganz]

not the same engine of this streetfighter btw, you tried the testastretta 937, this is the superquadro 955

[@helgejohan3604]

Multistrada v2 are a lot slower , but more comfortable ✊🔥

[@stealtherider3008]

Good video!

[@Frank_Torre]

OC: If had to choose I'm going with the V2 over the V4. But not having cruise control is a big negative for me, as I commute everyday on the highway. Also wouldn't switch from my MT09 SP to the Streetfighter V2. As I've had a Ducati Panigale 959 before and I'm NOT there for riding a Ducati in the heat of a Georgia summer again.

[@MrScootmcg]

Want one in the matt green so bad.

[@Euphorica]

The v2 is fantastic

[@DutchWesp]

great video! I own the new storm green V2 and its epic! like you said ;) got already 1000 pictures of it :)

[@moglyz9911]

I know u

[@airtylerb]

OC: I’ve always had the impression that the v2, for both the street fighter and the panigale, is better than the v4 for street riding.

[@lologh5496]

Believe it or not I just bought the V2 this morning 👌

[@jeremyrousselet6392]

Congrats man, I’m about to get mine too

[@lukaslombardo4736]

I just bought one!

[@commanderroddi7742]

For most people (you know, like if you're not Valentino Rossi or Jon Rea) the V2 platform is enough bike. Having said that, if you want a V4, by all means, but the sound and performance of the V2 on the different bikes (I tested the Panigale, Streetfighter, and Multistrada V2, and on all of them, it is such a well tuned platform!. Ducati's V4 is great, but the Twins they make are just phenomenal! I'm looking at the Monster or ypermotard as a bike for me, and that engine is similar o the V2, and on the Hypermotard is an insane engine! OC V@ all the way.

[@yiannishayabusaofficial]

wow awesome amazing superb ! ! ! ! ! !

[@jackson_foto]

I want to ride one of these so damn bad

[@commanderroddi7742]

Agree with camera car: White version with red frame/wheels like the Panigale V2.... yeah, I'd go for that 1

[@sin6113]

OC . would definitely go with the v2 because twin cylinder gang

[@shiloh1943]

hey chase, I know it’s just a first ride review, but I am curious about the bike’s service intervals and cost of maintenance as a consumer, wondering if you could give a little insight into these considerations as well for people interested in buying this bike?

[@manas.d_]

The golden forks on v4s give the bike a better look.

[@JoLXP]

That's the one I'd have...and I might in a future when I feel my Trident is not enough in the future.

[@sahei3763]

DAMN! Awesome…😍

[@ScottKelley]

This. I want this.

[@Villani_AV]

This vs the speed triple on merits? Standard cruise control and a fuel gauge on the triumph are really enticing but the streetfighter is my favorite bike

[@JDelta87]

OC: As shallow as it sounds, I'd go with the V4 for the sound alone.

[@rogerbarfell9075]

Beautiful bike only thing I don't like is shock position

[@TianRmz097]

When are we going to see some mountain road action, like the old days on the R6?

[@vexed008]

I would love to have a Ducati super bike but I unfortunately cannot afford one and coming from the Ducati 800 scrambler cafe racer I believe the V2 is a more fluid transition…. Have you seen the 2023 SFV2 in green and liquid cooled? It looks awesome which makes my long awaited decision that more complicated between the “white rosso v2”, “Bayliss V2”, and or the upcoming “2023 SFV2 in green” I would be glad if you had any opinions to share Chase?

[@petethompson1282]

Nearly taken out first 2 seconds on the road :D

[@keobiwan]

Will you ever be doing a first ride on the zh2 by any chance? I realize that you don't get to ride Kawasaki's too often, but I'd love to hear your thoughts!

[@mrlynchify]

Ohhhh I second this. Would love to see a first ride video on a ZH2

[@MrWallexxx]

Right now I have the choice between this and a Ktm super duke r evo for the same money. Makes me wonder why I’d buy this over that!

[@toomass2668]

I went for the V4S. If I want balance, I will go to Street mode and it is perfectly balanced :P Plus I would like the option to have that V4 power any time I want or need. Also SFV4S is so well maneuverable bike that weight at this point is irrelevant :)

[@chaseontwowheels]

Thats honestly a fair point. Power modes ftw!

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

@@chaseontwowheels nooo, only full power always.

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

@@chicagoui9299 too bad Ducati doesn't sound like a v4 thanks to it's twin pulse firing order that makes it sound like a v2. If you want real v4 sound from the gods, you get an Aprilia. That way you also get strong torque and power all over the rev range instead of only having top end.

[@toomass2668]

@@volodymyrshoniia2424 Agreed. But then Aprilia does not even come close to the looks of Ducati and Ducati can be quick as well on low rps in race mode. At least for my taste:)

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

@@toomass2668 well, it's also cheaper, has cruise control, has a fuel gauge, has wind protection, so it's better on highway and longer rides, base tuono v4 costs less than Sfv2, factory costs less than v4. Sf is lighter, more agile with better lower speed handling and easier to ride around town, hydraulic clutch instead of high effort cable helps there as well, more relaxed naked bike ergonomics help too compared to aprilia's pure aggressive rsv4 rear ergos with slightly more relaxed front. Tuono is better for high speed stability/comfort and wheelies since it has loads of power on tap and no counter rotating crank (superduke would be even better for that last part). Aprilia is more raw and exciting for me with loads of sound, power, and torque at any rpm which makes it really strong around town (can be scary for people who ride in low geats without smooth throttle control) and allows you to lazily stay in 6th gear for highway passing. Being more work to ride makes it more involving. Sfv4 is just so capable that it feels like it rides itself and the rider doesn't matter all that much, kind of sterile until very high speeds. V2 felt more involving and fun than v4, maybe I'll still get one next year or later. Gotta try 890 duke r (790 was pretty terrible and agricultural) and zh2 and superduke as well. Really it's all about horses for courses and personal preference unless we also consider the value where Ducati charges a lot more than other manufacturers and skimps out on features as well as higher grade components in certain cases, you do get pretty looks and decent fit and finish though. Loved sf looks but wasn't a fan of the winglets and how wide v4 was, v2 solves that, and looks amazing in green.

[@BC-hr5uc]

[@joshuagalvez799]

Can you do the cfmoto 450sr? Love to here your opinion on it

[@keiranmarley4052]

[@Fee.1]

Why does the Cardo car comms always sound like crap. It sounded decent for the first time recently so I had hoped you fixed that

[@MrBinkz]

V2 for price and weight considerations alone. Although probably neither as I’m on the short side and the seat height on these is rather tall. Also the Ducati dealer network in NZ is bloody terrible with the nearest dealer like 550kms away…

Thanks for a great channel and review. You say the V4 is too much for the street - would you say the same for the BMW S1000R? Your review on the BMW S1000R you said the power is in the high revs. I am looking at buying the V2 or the bmw as their price point is similar.

I’ve owned both, and the SF is vastly superior to the s1000r. No question

So, bought a V2 in July. My dealer said “motorcycle people don’t buy Ducatis, Ducati people buy Ducatis”. I understood that immediately when I drove away. I personally Couldn’t get rid of my it fast enough. It was just not for me. Was able to get an MT09 SP last week and couldn’t be happier.

[@DukeFerg]

I feel that I am in your position right now but the opposite lol. I only owned Ducati then sold my last one. Was in the market for 890 duke R or mt09sp, so I bought a 890 duke R back in July and sold it yesterday to go back to a Ducati. I will be getting the v2 lol!
