I think you're spot on with your thoughts. Majority of Ducati owners, including me, purchase them for the looks / feeling the bike gives. Not necessarily track performance or how comfortable they are. This V2 is a total backwards step in my opinion - I have the current Bayliss and I can't see myself swapping it for this model.
@ridewithKY
@ridewithKY Ай бұрын
Agreed. Major downgrade. The current gen V2 stands alone in its class. This incoming v2 will be pooled in with the R9, RS660, etc. That specialness a Panigale is supposed to give you, is gone. Hold on to that Bayliss brother.

@@ridewithKY - if I had to buy a bike in the 120bhp category, would I pay the premium for the new V2? I can't see it - the old V2 premium was justifiable as it was in its own class and had that Ducati specialness. The new bike will be a great bike but will people part with their money for one? Time will tell. I had an RS660 before the V2 and it was a fantastic bike and nearly half the price of the V2. A slightly used S1K in the UK is cheaper than the V2. Most (not all) of the positive comments are likely from people that will never actually buy one...

Agreed! long time Ducati fan and owner and I can see a drastic change in direction for the company from aesthetically pleasing design to more performance oriented emphasis. They have slowly killed away everything that has made a Ducati a Ducati starting with the larger displacement V-Twin engine to the demise of the Trellis frame to the end of the single sided swingarm and now the death of the Desmo valve system. NOTHING left of the DNA that made a Ducati a Ducati!

@JxMx23 great points. This bike is basically supposed to compete with $12K bikes, yet costs about the same as the current V2. Which as you’ve alluded to, was in its own class. If you really want to have a laugh, go on Ducati’s online configuring tool for the new V2 and look at how much the parts are going to cost. $1800 for some rearsets, $750 for a steering dampener, $3000 for an exhaust (not including the necessary fairing). Bike gets over $25K in a hurry. RS660 is a fantastic price especially for the cost. I have seen those bikes for under $10k in the USA either on sale or with factory incentives. Ton of bike for the money. Your statement about those commenting positively but never having any intention of actually buying one is so true. 😂.

I love this new release of V2 and will most likely be getting one. I currently ride a Monster 937. When this Monster came out, people were upset that it didn't have the trellis frame. It has been a great bike for me for the street and for the track. I just don't love the way the headlights look on the monster. To me, the new V2 looks beautiful. It is light-weight. Has the latest and greatest technology. Has more than enough horsepower for the street and the track. Not too uncomfortable. Has cruise control, and even has a fuel gauge which the previous one didn't. On paper for me, this checks all the boxes for street riding, commuting, canyon riding, and going to the track.

So it inspires the Monster rider, which is good right. But the purest are turned away. I am not a fan one bit, for all of the reasons. I don’t own a V2 for comfort, I don’t own a V2 for practicality, I own it because #racebike! The V2 truly exceeds my capabilities on and off track, which constantly challenges me to become better. So now, Ducati wants to meet me where I’m at? Naw… I’m good… Lamborghini, Ferrari don’t design based on comfort, but rather how it makes you feel, mixed with bikes that exceed our capabilities, but it’s exciting that own it. Price should not be the reason you buy one… it shouldn’t be affordable for everyone and with the price released, it hasn’t changed for the V2S. If you are looking to buy a V2, don’t buy this one, you’ll thank me later.

@@Artikoner850 well my point is that it is a different bike. It is a totally new bike. The name just happens to be V2 which upsets people who THINK that the V2 name means that it should behave a certain way. Well that V2 is no more. Many of these people would have been more fine if it was called SS and if Ducati had just cancelled the V2. R6 was cancelled too, people missed it, but they understood. If u look at this bike with the lens of "Is it a good bike?" , the answer would be absolutely yes. Of course we have just seen the specs, and we need to ride it first, but on paper, it is a fantastic bike. I think Ducati decided to go with the Panigale V2 name just because they think they would sell more with this name. But in the end, it's just a name. If u need something that exceeds your skills, Ducati still has the V4 for u.

Have to say, this is probably the best summation of why people buy Ducatis, it's an emotional purchase. I've had some 30 Ducatis now and currently own the Panigale V4 SP2 30th anniversario 916, my good lady has the Panigale V2 Final Edition and a 1200S Multistrada. As much as I understand why they are making their design choices, as much as I think they look, ok, to me,they are now mainstream motorcycles. There's no longer a reason to follow your heart to buy a Ducati as they don't offer anything significantly different to other manufacturers, the emotional bubble has effectively burst. Bikes that will never race, nor have a race series have no business with a dual sided arm, streetfighters and the new V2 are not race bikes which need the double sided to go quicker, they are road bikes with monumental price tags and now,no incentive to buy one, for me anyway. I'm so glad myself and my partner bought when we did, last in the line of outstandingly gorgeous bikes bought from the heart. Great video dude👌

It’s weird that people reduce supersport bikes to a single metric-peak horsepower. The Panigale gets variable valve timing and loses a score of kilograms, but people complain it’s not exciting. Most road riders roll around in the midrange of the powerband. They don’t optimize the gearing to make the most of the peak power. The variable intake and lightweight will make a huge difference for them. Plus, the power is determined by the Supersport homologation.
@ridewithKY
@ridewithKY Ай бұрын
I don't think it's that people are reducing this bike to just the HP number. It's that Ducati comes out and says here's our new bike, it's slower than the old one but only by a little bit. It's much lighter which 37 lbs is no small feat. But conveniently leave out the fact the power to weight is ultimately much worse than the prior Panigale. A replacement should be an improvement in all aspects.
@mylexicon2
@mylexicon2 Ай бұрын
@ The issue is that the marginal cost of horsepower is basically zero. Naturally, manufacturers work day and night to convince consumers that horsepower is valuable and they should pay big money for it. Same with lap times. It’s mostly tires and maybe a bit of brake. They’ve also taught consumers to devalue improvements that have high marginal cost, like redesigning and optimizing components, eliminating weight, etc. Ducati has made a demonstrably better bike, cutting 10kg of dead weight out of the non-variable desmo valvetrain and cylinder head, and creating a useable flat torque curve and long service intervals with fewer shim adjustments, but people complain because it’s .1 seconds slower around Vallelunga. The manufacturers did this to themselves by conning consumers, but it’s crazy how many people are actually under their marketing spell.
@ridewithKY
@ridewithKY Ай бұрын
All great points. I don’t think we know what the interval is going to be for this valvetrain though. Somebody in the comment section said their dealership indicated it would be an 18,000 mile interval as opposed to the 15,000 mile desmo interval. If true, that’s a pretty small increment. It’s not nothing, but it’s not a ton either. A 15,000 mile interval for desmo is already pretty long. Also, I doubt the service itself will be much cheaper. Most of the labor for desmo is getting to the cylinder heads. Also, we now have that added complexity of the variable cam timing. Time will tell. The weight reduction on this bike is surely impressive (if the number is even accurate). If we take a step back though, we see the power to weight ratio is significantly worse than the prior gen. Doesn’t mean this will be a bad bike but the numbers are what they are. Should we accept manufacturers giving us slower bikes with each new generation? Not sure if that’s a good idea as consumers.

Tbh, Ive been looking to getting back in the game, and the New V2S is more of what Im looking for these days. dont' need 200hp or even 150hp. you'll never fully experience what a bike like that can do anyways. Ducati is an experience on its own and Im sure that this new evolution will bring competition to the 900cc range and maybe will delete the 600cc, just look at it this way, Its an R9 (that was also a said "disappointment" for some) with an Italian twist lol.

As an owner of several Ducatis over the years, from a 748SPS, 998S, 999S, 1098S, Monster S4RS, 1199S, 1299S and currently lucky enough to own a Panigale V4SP2 30 Anniversario 916, having owned a V4 S 2018 before that, I can concur that both the new V4 and V2 feel very much like neutered down versions of what we classicly identify with as making their products unique. As you say a potentially dangerous path they have chosen to follow in pursuit of market share.

Notice how all the people in the comments who have Ducati's currently are pretty unimpressed by the new Panigale's. But all the people who have never bought a Ducati and probably never will are making excuses on Ducati's behalf. The weight reduction is impressive (if the numbers are even true), but I don't think it's much of a selling point when a manufacturer tells you the new version of Panigale is slower than the old one, but only by a little bit.

FYI, you can option on the full clip-ons, last time I checked, as part of the track package. Riding bikes for a long time and owning, multiple 140-200 HP sport bikes over the years, I can tell you that you barely scratch the surface of a 200 HP motorcycle on the street. From my experience, 120-135 HP is the sweet spot for street bikes and also a lot of fun on the track. I also think that the the new V2 looks good, especially without the V4 wings.

Streetfighter makes a lot more sense for sure. Although I always liked the fact that Ducati puts the same power plant in their nakeds as the equivalent Panigale (other than some tuning). When you look at Aprilia, BMW, Yamaha, etc, the equivalent naked always has some watered down engine. Most are still incredibly fast, but I’d rather just have the real engine. Seems as if this engine will make its way into the Monster too so kind of an interesting situation there. You have a monster and a SFV2 with the same engine.

With the affordable price and more comfy riding position I’m in! Would I rather it be 150-180 hp? Sure but I’ll likely love it at 120 hp.

Kinda hard to say since I don't have any real world experience with either yet. All I have are spec sheets and some photos/videos. Both the V4 and V2 next year are going to be completely new architecture. The V4 engine is basically the same as the current gen V4 so it should be solid. The V2 engine is completely new and with the addition of variable cam timing; I would be cautious with that one. If it were me I'd stay on the Monster until this Panigale fiasco works itself out. I have a feeling they will do a slight redesign on the fairings for the V4 as most people aren't too thrilled with the appearance. If I had to get one of these bikes next year, it'd be the V4. Mostly because we know the engine is proven and it still retains its specialness. For me personally, I do not want a Panigale that has the same engine as a Multistrada, Monster, etc. Panigale's should have their own engines. Hope that helps man.

For companies to stay in business, they have to adjust to the evolution of the market. Companies like Porsche and Ferrari‘s for example, had to do the exact same thing. The reason why Porsches is able to do the R&D programs for exotic cars is because they have the full & small size SUV. Which generates the bulk of the company sales. And by making a more comfortable, more reliable and more affordable middleweight motorcycle. It allows them to keep making the Exotic and limited production bikes that you spoke about.

The new S and the old base will be the same price.

Not really… Porsche has done an excellent job at expanding their appeal without sacrificing the identity of the company. Notice how the 911 has remained very 911, all the while expanding their line. The boxster and cayenne saved the company financially in the late 90’s/early 00’s. At the same time they never sacrificed what the 911 was because the 911 is the identity of the company. When you think of Porsche, you don’t think of the Panamera. You think of the 911. As a result look at the value’s of Porsche’s. Their resale value is always at the top and their brand interest is at an all time high. On the other hand Ferrari has done a very poor job of expanding their appeal while still retaining the DNA of the company. I could go on and on about Ferrari right now. All I’ll say is look at where 296, Roma, and SF90 values are right now. Not long ago you had to beg Ferrari to even sell you a car for over sticker. Not so anymore. This is shocking because most Ferrari buyers do not cross shop. They ONLY buy Ferrari’s. There’s a lot more to the Ferrari situation but I won’t go into it. What Ducati is doing here is not at all like what Porsche did.

@@ridewithKY Thank you for your insight. I agree, but I also disagree. I understand the analogy of the 911. And this is just food for thought. The equivalent of the 911 for Ducati would be the V4. All of their more exotic motorcycles are based primarily off of the V4 like the 911. The GT 2 & GT 3 etc. are based off of the 911. The Ducati V2 would be more like the Porsche Boxster. A great car. A great teammate and asset to the main character in the story. And the reason why I brought up Ferrari is because they did something that they said they would never ever do. Which is start making SUVs to offset just like other companies have. They said that they wanted a piece of the pie of the Lamborghini Urus, and this is their way of going about it. To maintain a tomorrow for the company. Cause just like you said some of those other vehicles that got released was not the answer. Thank you again for your insight. Appreciate you!

@@robertlockett6670 I appreciate the connection you are trying to make but the 911 and Boxster are two different vehicle families. V2, Bayliss, V2FE, V4, V4R, SP2, Moto GP Rep, etc. are all under the Panigale family despite obvious differences between them all. They are all so related that there is a lot of part compatibility between all the bikes previously mentioned. Ultimately they are a lot more alike than they are different. Boxster and 911 basically have no cross compatibility and are not at all within the same family of cars. When the Boxster was released, Porsche was very clear it was an addition to the line and the 911 philosophy would be untouched. That is not at all what Ducati has done. They have not added to their line with this new V2, they have changed what the Panigale V2 is. Saying the V2 is akin to a Boxster is just not accurate. The point is not that Ferrari has expanded their line. Interest in their brand has decreased because they've moved away from what makes a Ferrari a Ferrari while also expanding their line. Porsche and Lamborghini have not done this. They have expanded their lines while maintaining their identity. Historically Lamborghini resale has been atrocious, but not so anymore. That's what happens when you expand your appeal while maintaining the reason why people originally fell in love with your product.

@ I’m just waiting to see how they do in WorldSSP next year. My theory was the V2s weight which limited them from winning the championship. Most weight + most power = hardest tyre wear compared to the rest of the grid. So…my guess is a limited R model just enough for FIM homologation with a short stroke, lower CC and higher redline. The softer rider triangle won’t matter as no track bike will run stock clip ons, seats or rearsets anyway.

Same. To be fair, neither of us have seen the bike yet in person. Going off of what we know so far though, I’d never trade a current gen V2 for this. Any Panigale should wow a potential buyer, it should be special and that’s what justifies the price. Here we get a Panigale with a Multistrada engine, and supersport 950 clip ons. It is impressive this bike is supposed to be 37 lbs lighter. However, when we step back we see its weight is down 8% but power is down 25%. Yeah, no thanks. If you look through the comments here, you’ll see people who actually buy Ducati’s are not very impressed with this release. Those that are praising this move don’t have ducatis and I doubt they’ll actually be buying one of these. When you hear of people buying 6, 10, even 30 ducatis over a period of 15 years, that makes absolutely zero sense but people do it because Ducati’s are special. A supersport 950 with panigale fairings is not special… cheers mate, thanks for sharing the perspective of someone who actually has a Ducati and more importantly, a V2.

Well let me be the first then. I've been riding Ducati for 20 Years or so (now on a 23 street triple rs) my last one was a 22 streetfighter V2, I loved that bike, but tbh it did it best above 6500 rpm and at speeds that would cost me my license. The new V2 got more go from 3000 rpm, is lighter and more agile, so much better for the road, so Yeah i will def buy this bike.

@allangrse617 if you look at the dyno sheets Ducati provided, the new V2 actually isn’t stronger at 3000 rpm compared to the current gen. The power to weight is also worse. Not trying to tell you what to do, but if one of your reasons for buying the new V2 is a stronger bottom end, you might want to rethink that. Of course we don’t know what the partial throttle torque is going to be like; to be honest engines with variable cam timing are pretty strong down low, generally. We’ll see what happens…

@ridewithKY off course i wont buy it blindly, I need to try it first. They do look pretty similar torque wise, but the old streetfighter V2 wasnt happy for doing anything under 4000 rpm, it would vibrate like hell, and even my street triple rs felt more torquey in that area, hopefully the new will do better being lighter. Power to weight ratio is a funny size, I mean both the MT09 and KTM 890 has worse power to weight ratio than the old streetfighter V2, but they are just as fast (if not faster) until around 7000 rpm. But yeah we will see how the new V2 will do..

@allangrse617 I mean a twin is always going to rock and vibrate. V configurations in general do that. Ducati tried to make it seem like this V2 would be better down low, but their own numbers point to it having similar numbers in the first half of the RPM range, but lack the top end. It’s over simplifying to just look at peak numbers, but I think it’s not a stretch to say that 890cc’s and 120 hp is pretty unspectacular.

They can fix all of this. Just don’t call it a Panigale. I hated the “v2” label when they stopped naming them after displacement. Calling it a V2 when there’s a V4 of the same model year just makes it sound like the inferior version of Panigale whereas a 955 Panigale designation (as with previous models) would indicate a standalone machine built to purpose either for or in spite of a category. Same thing here with this new V2, it should just be the new SS or something and not be called a Panigale. Then either do away with the V2 altogether or expand on the ‘24 model machine, name it based on displacement, maybe give it aero to separate it further visually from the SS and link it more strongly to the V4, and keep its power output between 150 and 175bhp. Oh yeah, stop worrying about making things practical. “I was considering it’s practicality when I purchased my Ducati.”-said no one, ever, ever. You’re welcome Ducati. I just saved you.

David Stirpe doesn’t have anything to do with the decision to completely change the direction of the V2. Doesn’t mean it won’t be a great bike, it most certainly will. But it’s not a Panigale. Senna and Nakajima assisted with the chassis/suspension tuning for the NSX, but weren’t involved with the NSX conceptually. Later on Zanardi further helped fine tune the chassis/suspension of the NSX. None of those formula 1 drivers were involved in the decisions to ultimately produce the NSX. It’s the same here. Test drivers are test drivers and the bean counters are bean counters.

It is actually slower around Vallelunga with a professional rider. Inconsequential anyways since Ducati has been very clear this is a street biased motorcycle focused on comfort. Notice how Ducati immediately had to defend the new 2025 V2 by pointing out certain sections of the track where it is faster? I don’t personally care about lap times from a professional rider, but when you come out with a redesign of a Panigale, it should be faster than its predecessor. Power to weight is important no doubt, but a Panigale should still have horsepower. 120 hp for ducatis halo line of motorcycles is pretty dismal.

@ridewithKY Thats why i said JUST as fast. 2 tenths is nothing.(you can make up 2 tenths with a suspension adjustment😂). "For a track that favors hp" that means its going to be faster literally everywhere else and will only get faster once it starts competing. Believe it or not, super agressive racebikes on the street are not popular. Ducati created a bike that can do both while remaining committed enough to rip a racetrack, which is now easier than ever with the new electronics package. The new V4 is an example of this. People tend to confuse comfort and performance. You're going to be 3x as fast on a bike thats comfortable vs one thats super stiff, committed and has a lot of power. I know riders that are faster on their multistrada v4 than on their panigale. The days of uncomfortable, hyper aggressive pissmissles that kill people (which ultimately drives people away from motocycles) are gone. Well, unless you want a buell superbike, which is basically a old school barebones bike.

2 tenths is not just as fast. Again, not like it really matters in this context. As you've alluded to there's many variables that can influence your lap time. Believe it or not, in the Ducati family the super aggressive race bikes are popular. What sells more, the Supersport 950 or the Panigale V2? We can take it further... what is a stronger seller; the Panigale or the Streetfighter? Notice how all the aftermarket support is for the Panigale? Why is that? Ducati isn't like the vast majority of motorcycle manufacturers out there, their customer base is different. So you know riders who are faster on their multistrada, I have no doubt about it. Do you know any riders who are faster on their Panigale than they are on their Multi? Moot point... No pissmissle has killed anyone, it's the decisions that rider made that killed them. Or just pure bad luck if the incident was not their own doing. The bike itself is not what kills the rider.

Nobody said anything about cruising at 180 mph. 😂. If this bike is so great, come back into this comment section when you buy one. Until then, the rest of us who regularly buy Ducati’s will continue to tell you this is a supersport with Panigale fairings.

You always know when someone loses an argument when they resort to personal attacks. When you buy one, come back in this comment section to share your thoughts. Your comment about “top heavy ass bikes” tells me you’ve never thrown your leg over a current gen V2.

😂😂😂😂. Go on the online Ducati configurator for this bike and look at how much the parts are going to cost. $750 for a steering dampener, $1800 for rearsets…😂

I swear, Ducatisti complain about everything. And this is coming from a fellow V4 owner. Back when the 1199 Panigale came out, people complained about it not having the same monstrous midrange that the 1098/1198 had. This is a good move for Ducati, as it is cheaper than the older V2 and they haven't really offered anything since the 848 in their bike lineup to bridge the gap between their beginner models and their true liter bikes for over a decade. The Superquadro will always be iconic, but this is a good decision for the company to attract new riders, no matter how you look at it.

I think there's some truth to Ducatisti complaining about everything possible. Those Ducatisti are also the ones that buy these bikes. If you look through the comments here, you'll see a lot of current Ducati owners, some who have owned over 30 Ducati's, are not very impressed with this bike. Doesn't mean it's a bad bike, nobody has thrown a leg over this thing other than a few Ducati employees. On paper it's pretty underwhelming. Panigale's are supposed to wow us, this doesn't do that.

Aprilia rsv4 is a bargain compare to Ducati and it sounds better.

Aprilia makes a great motorcycle but is certainly of lesser quality. Regardless the RSV4 would be in a different class from both the current and upcoming V2. This upcoming V2 would be closer to the RS660.

this bike is great BUT it should not replace the old v2 it should replace the supersport 950... having a 120 to 200 hp gap is to much if you wanna Upgrade to big brother in future.. having 3 sport bikes. 120hp 155hp and 200+hp is the way to go

100%. If you look at the seating position, risers on the clip ons, engine layout, this is a supersport 950. This is not a Panigale!

It's going to make around 100hp on the dyno. That's trash for that price. Those euro emissions ruined the v2

Agreed. Not sure if you watched the actual Ducati video release, but even the tachometer looked weird. It’s like a 10,000 RPM redline so the tachometer looked like you were sitting on a Ducati Monster. 🤢.
