2022 Ducati V2 Streetfighter Review - First Ride!

[@LotusExige350]

Great review as usual. Love your honesty about all aspects. Can't wait for more.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Stay tuned!

[@Domitianvs]

I got to try this bike out a few days ago, albeit at a very small and narrow circuit with a lot of other riders on it, and only for about 15 minutes, but I found it to be a lovely bike, if you can overlook the very shaky experience of riding it in low RPMs. For a standard Euro-5 pipe it sounds absolutely gorgeous and those front brakes are just spectacular. If I had the money, I'd get one. Ideally yesterday.

[@WarmSince74]

"Goodness, great views here in Buckingham" Haha. Another classic one-liner from the comedy legend that is TMF. :)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you spotted that one!

As a two wheel fan, I thoroughly enjoy your reviews whatever the bike, especially as I look out my window this morning and it’s peeing down.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes cracking day here too (not!)

[@nigeltankard6977]

As always the Ducati bikes look amazing. shame about the vibrations at certain speeds. Looking forward to the next vlog on this bike

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Stay tuned Nigel - coming soon!

[@davidcarson7542]

Great video as always. Thank you for providing an honest review that includes letting everyone know about the vibrations present on your loaner V2. I have had several bikes over the years but the bikes with the most vibrations make my hands numb and that greatly reduces the joy factor I get from riding.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@elithegreat6463]

Congratulations on that Bright sunny day in the UK..Enjoy it !!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you - apparently there is going to be another one next week!

[@garyhope0103]

Great early review as usual. Looks, to me like a better option than the V4, unless of course you do regular track days. The little 'quirky' vibrations through the seat and the shaking of the tft, I'm sure would soon become normal, though for the price, you wouldn't expect it. The initial looks are good and looking forward to your in depth review.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Coming soon Gary - thanks for watching as ever….

[@bsmukler]

I love the low rev characteristics of the Ducati L-twin motors and am glad Ducati is still able to make them Euro and US regulations compliant. Like many, I seem to always fall for the larger displacement models, but cannot argue with the fact that the “baby” versions of the Panigale, the Multistrada, and now the Streetfighter are probably the better choice for most applications. I also think the Syreetfighter V2 and Multistrada V2 look sleeker than their V4 counterparts. By the way, the LED display is not flimsy. It is heavily damped to protect it from road shocks and vibrations.

[@yorkshireperson]

Reminds me of where novelist Guy de Maupassant is quoted as saying he hated the Eiffel tower, but ate lunch at its restaurant every day. When he was asked why, Maupassant replied that it was the only place in Paris where he couldn't see it. I feel the same about this bike, to me it looks awful, but I wouldn't say no to a go on one 🙂

[@jbuckley2546]

Great quote, not heard that before.

Great start to the review I like v twins the vibes show you are riding a bike thanks for your time from Cornwall 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😀💯👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No problem 👍

[@2wheelbikers311]

Hi Andy, I took the V4S out last year and thought it was great but when I had the V2 a few weeks ago I enjoyed it more than the V4 and didn't want to give it back, I found it gave me masses of confidence. I did find it a bit vibratey but I suppose they aren't going to be as smooth as a 4 cylinder. Look forward to seeing you on it again 👌👍🏍🏍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Stay tuned!

[@motobickers5098]

Love Ducati's - but won't be rushing out to try one of these. Not the sauciest Italian bike. Probably just the way the sound gets compressed on KZbin but it sounds like a lawn mower. Great stuff as ever Andy.

[@dennisbowskill3706]

Ducati V2 Streetfighter 2022. Look good, seat might need adjusting for someone like me, or I will have take stepladders with and would be funny. Lol. Love to see what it looks like at night time with those headlights. So can’t wait to see more reviews Mr Flyer on this motorbike.

[@tomdwyer5695]

Great review mate 👍I love this v2 but I kind of feel that the price is too much as you can get an Aprilia tuono factory for the same price with current discounts which just for the sound would convince me 😄

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I agree…

[@leonbrad22]

Great video really like these street fighters ! Dose Ducati uk have a show room? It’s only up the road from me

[@MrG1969X]

Still enjoying my Streetfighter V4 12 months in, zero issues but my only criticism is makes me ride way to fast, that power is addictive, I was interested to compare a V2 thinking the same it would make a better more useable road bike as the power of the V4 is off the scale fast especially for a naked, waiting for your option on the V4/V2 comparison and is the V4 worth the extra cash

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Stay tuned!

[@iainf6]

Excellent job Andy 👌😉👏👏👏

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks 👍

[@nigelpstreet]

I have a Streetfighter V2 now with 850 miles on (first service was at 620). I kept it below 6K rpm before first service, and it was _maybe_ a bit vibey below 5K, but now run in it all smooths out beyond 5K rpm. Now I'm familiar with the bike, I use 2nd gear for 30mph zones and 3rd for 40 zones, to be honest from the vid, I think you were in too high a gear at those speeds.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes you may be right....

[@TheValbunnys]

Congrats in your new bike mate I really can’t wait to see more videos on this channel about this bike and make my decision if sell my 2019 mt09 now and preorder one or wait to see for a second hand next year. What was your previews motorbike ? Before order this bike did you consider a superduke or any other bike ? How Much in love are you now with your bike 😀

[@nigelpstreet]

@@TheValbunnys Thanks buddy! Before buying this bike I had a Ducati 959 Corse and a Street Triple 675 Rx and wanted one bike that did both jobs - a rideable naked with more power. I was all set on getting a new Speed Triple 1200 RS which I really liked, and thought the Streetfighter V2 would be too tall. However, I had a test ride and loved it, so bought one there and then! 1100 miles in, and I’m still running in the engine (current self imposed limit of 9K rpm), but it really comes alive at that rpm - it feels very special, and I don’t have any issues with vibration. It also gets lots of attention. If you can, get one!

[@TheValbunnys]

@@nigelpstreet hi man thanks for reply I wish you a great safe drive enjoying your bike and I hope be able to get one 🤟☀️

Another great video from TMF! Will you be making any TMF logo bike gear am in need for an affordable jacket but I don't know which to get and affordable for a 21 year old workin 3 part timers 🤣

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I don't have any bike gear other than that on my website - www.themissendenflyer.com

[@AlistairCarter-fk9yo]

Swapping my ‘23 st rs for this sf v2 after a test ride. Never noticed the tft vibrations but the vibes thru seat and pegs at low speeds feels like it’s asking you “are you ready to go yet?” 😀 love it!! Never felt any vibe thru grips. Can’t wait to pick mine up this week, fabulous looking bike with such a big smile factor.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Congratulations! Enjoy your new bike!

[@foofiejedi]

Hey mate can I ask what were the main reasons? I'm trying to decide between these two at the moment. Have test ridden both, I felt nothing on the Triumph until I hit a series of tight s-bends then it was an absolute hoot, whereas on the V2 every second is an occaision and was more enjoyable more often. I'm going to try them both again

[@AlistairCarter-fk9yo]

The rs is a great bike without question. But personally after a number of months it wasn’t quite giving that feeling of something special. The sf just continues to give that certain something. At 6’2” tall I find the sf more comfortable too. All the niggles re the throttle, mirrors, hot seat and not great in slow town traffic….well, as far as I’m concerned, got used to throttle immediately, mirrors not the best but set right they’re fine, seat only gets warm at a long standstill and it’s not the best in town but if you can control a bike at slow speeds it’s a doddle. As for the open road fun, absolutely streets ahead of the rs….as expected being a more powerful machine. It won’t disappoint. Good luck dude 👍🏻

[@foofiejedi]

@@AlistairCarter-fk9yo Nice! Thanks for the feedback!

[@tomroberts7195]

I think the same on extreme powered bikes. Streetfighter V4, ZH2, Tuono V4, MT10 look good sound nice but totally impractical an way more power than you need. 99% of riders will never get close to the performance limit even on track. IMO 150 HP is still more than you need, rip through 1st to 3rd an your doing silly ban speeds. 100-130 is the sweet spot for me. Ample power an still fast

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I tend to agree Tom.....

[@Kurlach]

Christ alive life would be boring if we only had what we need not what we want. I love my Tuono and it’s not too powerful. The throttle works both ways and it only goes fast when k want it to.

[@tomroberts7195]

@@Kurlach that's the beauty of opinions mate. Everyone has one. I love the Tuono, just more bike than I'd ever need. The 660 tho would fit perfectly though.

[@gkbike7002]

A ducati i like. Sounds great, looks great and your laugh says everything. Desmo services still put me off though. The price is reasonable to. Same price as the big boy ktm superduke....which personally looks better and is a lot more powerful. Do you think we're still paying for that ducati badge. Great video btw.

[@justinmckeown9029]

@@TheValbunnys I would go V2. Always been a fan of the baby Duc’s: 848 EVO, 748S, SF 848. IMO, the SF V4 just looks cluttered and if I wanted a liter bike, I’d probably grab an RSV4, or Tuono. What about you?

[@TheValbunnys]

@@justinmckeown9029 i currently own a 2019 mt09 so also really interested in the V2 as I think will be better upgrade that the new mt09 or mt10 however thought if one day I change it will do it for a v4 or a superduke .

Nice ride Mr. Flyer! The Ducati certainly looks the part and as you say much more a "road" bike than it's big brother. I look forward to seeing how you rate the bike as you put some miles in. :>)

[@grhmnz4648]

I saw a V2 Streetfighter parked at a cafe in my home town yesterday . I didn't check what year it was ,but it was immaculate . It looked amazing ,and what struck me was how compact the bike is.. .probably no different from Triumph Street Triples though ?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

True….

[@MichaelWilliams-jc2ui]

Great review as usual. Do you think it’s one of those bikes that need several thousand miles under its belt to bed in? In my experience all bike come “on song” after 5-6000 mls(and I’ve had 30 of the buggers) some need it more then others, mainly twins and singles.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I think maybe you’re right going by some of the comments here…

Hey TMF. Have you seen that Triumph finally has decided to start painting their bikes in something that isn’t silver, white and black?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Something for the trolls!

[@ronaldvangulden7314]

Great review! There's a lot to like on this beautifull bike but I can't get over the amount of plastic covers covering the whole right hand side of the engine. I wonder why they went this route. Is it because of heat or sound reducing or just a cheap and easy way to hide all the cables and other bits. The V4 doesn't have this much of plastic hiding the engine.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I imagine the latter!

[@grantkokich6906]

Good V -twin sound to the bike. Lots of torque which is what you want for usable power. You would probably expect some vibrations on a big twin. Good looking bike , but what you've got around your radiator on your Ducati would be good. Radiator stands out a bit.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Agreed....

[@Charlie-lz2uz]

Have you ditched the iPhone camera for walk arounds now? The perspective is much better with the iPhone, no fish eye effect.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No the iPhone comes out sometimes.....stay tuned!

[@GhostOfGor]

If the Engine is used as part of the strength member and is directly connected to the frame that might explain the vibration, that and its a lot of metal swinging around inside.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

True - but my Panigale is the same and suffers no such problem.....weird one!

[@Thirsty_Fox]

One of the best looking bikes to my eyes -- except the dash module sticking way up. I can't help but think all these TFT displays look exactly the same, whether it's an expensive Ducati or cheap moped, they kind of all look the same, taking away from the exceptional character throughout the rest of the bike.

[@kurushunwalla]

Thank you Andy! Look forward to hearing your thoughts through your long term with this red beauty. 30 bhp and 22 nm of torque more than my RS. Wonder how this baby matches up to my 2022 Street Triple RS in all parameters. Would love to hear your thoughts on the comparison since you have used the older Street. Cheers

[@b8tzim767]

Just wondering if you'll be humming along to the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations", at the local Ducati dealer...

[@lynnkanable7023]

Loved the review as always. I have always been a Ducati fan and I recently rode the new Monster. I was extremely disappointed with amount of vibration through the seat and bars. In addition, the mirrors could not be adjusted in order for me to see behind me. Also my boot would not fit between the shifter and foot peg. The dealer was not the least agreeable with my complaints. I have a KTM 790 Duke which is butter smooth and the mirrors and shifter cause no issues. With all that in mind I have to say it rode smooth, handled well and perhaps with new boots and mirrors I could learn to ignore the vibes. It did appear to be a quality unit. Something not always said about KTM.

[@pchzl]

Thats strange as Ive got new monster as well and cannot complaint about vibration. There is tons of other bikes with much worse vibrations;) I agree about mirrors but I’ve managed to get it sorted by moving the, a bit on the handlebars. Boots? Wiat boots you’ve got? Or what size?

[@nickrider5220]

You often pick up on things that many other reviewers don't, which is excellent 👍 The one thing that bothered me was the noisy engine clatter when cruising, perhaps the mic just picks it up more ?

[@chriseaton4358]

I’ve got an 899 and love it to bits, but looking for a change…. Is this the one?? I’m not sure, it doesn’t sound as good as the 899 so an after market exhaust would be a must and an expensive V2 turns into a really expensive V2!! Bring on the lessons learned review and help me make up my mind!!

I'm not sure Ducati was not shooting for fairly attractive, sounds okay, and a little has more vibration than normal. Hopefully the bike will have more redeeming factors as your long-term review proceeds, however initial impressions good or bad are often the best. There more than a few bikes that provide the grin factor, are more comfortable less expensive. I await further insights as time goes by.

Great review as usual TMF. Bike looks good. But I'd rather buy an MT09 and save myself 5/6 grand

[@TheValbunnys]

I will be selling my Mt09 -2019 in July and preorder this one to be deliver next season hopefully April . I believe this bike is the perfect upgrade as I think is at the same level of a mt10 . Main reason I want to upgrade is I have my bike for two years and I love it but I feel I would like a more refine motorbike that can response better to the road and also will help me to I prove my riding . The new mt09 is not of my interés I don’t like the design however is better bike to drive that mine.

As stunning as its V4 sibling, but by jove that's the first time I've seen you spot that many niggles on the first ride... but at least the TFT vibrating might melt that snowy forecast ;3 Do wonder if the equation for Grin Factor = Torque minus 'Traction of Pants' divided by 'Lovely Scenery' times 'Exhaust Note'?

There probably is a mathematical formula out there somewhere!

like most of these streetfighter type bikes it just looks like a mish mash of plastic trims to replace the missing fairings, the radiators look like a disaster waiting to happen! Not for me but appreciate your video, much prefer your Panigale.

Fair do's!

[@brianperry]

If vibration is an issue be careful of your phone if attached to handlebars..It could do the phones accelerometer in. Ducati's have certainly come a long, long way since their bevel drive bikes..which also vibrated...Its the nature of the beast!...They looked good, were fast, handled well, but Ho! the TLC one had to give them... Now, they are an Icon that even non-biking folks have heard of.... The 916 and the later Panagali's just look like sculptured works of art.. If I could afford a 'Duke' now it wouldn't be this one.... I yearn for my 900 SS Bevel drive of 1979.... warts n' all

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

Dukes are good looking bikes

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sure are!

[@philiplindley7384]

Looks gorgeous, a little 'Monster' ish, dare I say, won't that rad get absolutely covered, in anything but clement weather?? (lack of mudguard)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes true.....

[@jean-pauldeschrijver741]

What do you prefer? The streetfighter V2 or the Triumph Rocket 3R?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Completely different types of bike - I'd probably have the V2 over the Rocket (loving that order of words!)

[@Gugosss]

about the look, I really didnt like the V4, while I love the V2, all because the side on the V2 is so much cleaner. How does it compare to the street triple regarding the riding position?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Very similar actually....
