[@phillcarter827]

I love the bike, I really do and would consider one. However I sold my Panigale V2 last year due to having had 3 reasonably serious warranty issues in 2k miles but much more importantly the fact that in summer heat the bike was simply unusable, it’s a good 10-20% hotter than the 959, even when back to backing with a mates 899 that ran over 10 degrees cooler, the bike just became too hard to use in anything but cold conditions. I would urge anyone to test ride a V2 on a warm day and make sure you can live with it. I bought mine in feb, had one of the first and by June I was struggling. I’m still gutted even now, I thought the Panigale was a keeper

[@patthonsirilim5739]

street figghter should be better never rode the v2 street fighter but my v4 specialle is hot af in the summer on thailand summer road but on track at speed not so bad which is normally where i ride the v4 street fighter s alot better the lack of faring really does help with the heat not sure about the v2 street

[@theonlyredspecial]

Funny how we categorise 150hp as pretty ‘tame’ now. My 998s FE puts out around 130 ish and back in the early 2000’s it was considered quite a beast!

[@dancheung5549]

I guess now with the electronics…..

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

Electronics go a long way to taming modern higher powered bikes. I rode a 998 around the IoM in the Centinery TT and loved the way it handled but it was cripplingly uncomfortable and hard on the suspension. Managed a quicker time on (the then) new to me Aprilia RSVR which surprisingly I much prefered despite it's lesser 128bhp at the crank. It seemed to have more mid range stomp, (gruntier than a warthog eating truffles) sounded amazing and was way more comfy and turned in more like a race bike. It was that experience which switched me onto Aprilias from Ducatis for the road and despite riding much faster machinery since then, those last non electronically neutered visceral vee twins remain etched in my memory as the most rewarding bikes I ever road as you had to work harder and they didn't flatter poor riding as much as modern stuff does. In fact I still have a 2001 rsvr and will never sell that bike as it's part of me now. I could be very temoted to a pinagali vee 2 which I consider as Ducati's all time best road bike and possibly the most reliable engine they've ever made too.

[@theonlyredspecial]

@@ReferenceFidelityComponents Yes of course electronics play a long part to taming higher powered bikes. But my point was that 150hp now is not considered 'higher powered' as in 2021 we are in a world of 200+hp bikes (My H2 has been remapped to put out 260hp to the bike tyre, with a Vandeom H2R race system on it, chain changes on the supercharger, changes to clutch plates and springs) - without a lot of electronic intervention that would be very difficult to ride on the road. Its putting out more than twice the horsepower of the 998S FE at the crank. Thanks for sharing your views of the Ducati compared to an Aprilla and how you moved to Aprilla. My friend also moved to Aprilla at the time and interestingly he had nothing but engine issues - which is almost ironic considering that Ducati of the 1990s were considered very unreliable. In fact I owned a 916 in the 90's after watching Carl Fogarty win races for most of my youth and the indicators cut out on a long journey to Cork in Ireland, when it started to Rain. We can all thank Audi for their input into the electrics after they bought Ducati as part of the VW Group. I was quite happy to pick up a testastretta 998 Final Edition a while ago, to keep as a collectors piece, very hard to find now!) Aprilla made some great bikes using the Rotax engine in the day, but its sadly not a bike now that has increased in value or seen as 'iconic' - certainly the prices for my 998 S FE have gone up and you often see a few selling for close to £30,000. We live in interesting times with more available, reliable bikes open to a wide audience of riders with different tastes.

[@NoName76554]

The V4 does have a "reduced power" mode, which drops peak power to 120hp or so. I have mine setup so the Street mode uses reduced power. The Sport and Race modes use full power, with Race mode having the max throttle sensitivity. Seems like the best of both worlds. Street mode when cruising around town, and full power modes when conditions allow.

[@heart.of.ease.3659]

Hows the torque on that reduced power setting ? Thanks for sharing

[@NoName76554]

@@heart.of.ease.3659 I don’t know what the peak torque number is in reduced power mode, it’s not listed in the manual. But it feels very tame compared to full power mode. You can really notice the difference. Reduced power mode doesn’t completely solve the low speed snatchy throttle that was mentioned in the V2 review. Sounds like neither the V2 or V4 are great at very low speeds. But I don’t spend much time in city traffic on my V4 so I can live with it.

[@heart.of.ease.3659]

@@NoName76554 Thanks for your reply, I'd be curious to know if it's up there around the 75ftlbs torque range to make it worth considering! For all of my Ducati I'd change the front Sprocket to a 14t from the stock 15t and add the Ducati Spacers Throttle Body Spacer to eliminate the play in the Throttle, those Two mods completely transform and smooth out any low speed city issues. A must have for any ducati 😊

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

One of my favourite current road bikes. I'm so glad that Ducati have recognised the need for a high performance vee twin as a better more useabke road bike than the race developed v4. Both Aprilia and Ducati's vee4 monster power machines are just too much for the road to be anything close on real world useable or sendible. Vee twins were always more in tune and ideally suited to road riding imho. I think I prefer the Panagali Vee twin which is simply sublime. They've all got too ecprnsive now sadly. Build quality on these new Ducatis is amazing.

[@LeakyWadersAdventureClub]

I'm torn between this and the Street Triple RS currently. I'm done racing track so want something fun but more comfortable. These new Ducatis are really appealing to me. I'm glad they came out with this v2, as I just never saw the purpose of the v4 on the streets.

[@BrianAndresMusic]

I agree. As beautiful as I think the SFV4 is, I never understood it's purpose. The SFV2 though....now that makes total sense. I just ordered one. If you're considering the Street Triple RS, give the Speed Twin a test ride. I just bought a 2022 and 2000 plus miles later, I just love it. Coming from an R6, its all the fun and much more comfortable.

I'm most likely changing from a '23 SDR1290, to a Ducati Streetfighter (due to better support from the red team). At first the obvious choice was the V4, but...the missus has a SFV2, which is real world usable/nice, friendly and quite capable. And I've got a Panigale V2 for trackdays / faster riding that I adore. The big midrange bikes can be run lazily, once opened up they're all too quick for the twisty bits. Not sure really, I reckon the V2 is more fun in the real world, and I'm looking for a road bike (90% fun b-roads, with a mix of touring and commute).

Depends on where you live and what type of riding you plan to do, in our area a v4 is useless due to the fact there's no local roads to use that power without getting arrested and all of our race tracks are too small to utilize the power. Someone would be better off with a v2 and an akra than a v4 even all modded out. Both are amazing machines. 😊

You won't regret staying in the middle weight, most experienced track riders up here are like me and we downgraded from the Litre bikes because it's more fun to go through the gears.

How would old Ducati Monster 1100 stand against these new Ducati’s? I have one and it can easily wheelie with throttle on first and second gear and it has just 95hp. Wondering how those new bikes would feel with all that power. But I assume that power delivery is very restricted on first 3 gears even though it has 150hp, because even old air cooled monster doesn’t feel that slow up to 110mph.

[@drewiediggler1]

The old air cooled, two valve Monsters have much more low down strength. Just where it's needed on the road. More fun, engaging and great for 'off the throttle' wheelies . The newer panigale engines were made as short stroke, oversquare, high revving machines for racing. They are still exciting in a different way. However for me I prefer the air cooled bikes. Sadly emissions laws have killed them off and the new 1100 scrambler is not really the same. I would keep hold of your old Monster if I were you 🙂

The main thing with them is to make sure you follow the break in as recommended, they can see your data logging during that time and some have had their warranty voided by just thrashing on the bike. Apart from that, if you get an exhaust through the dealer it's also full warranty, and lastly if you live in a very dusty area, don't install the sprint filter and instead use the stock paper filter because the sprint racing filters have issues sealing and keeping out the fine dust, which leads to excessive oil consumption and eventually a new motor sooner haha.

Agree with buying a bike within your skill level.. but rider aids are good as a safety net; especially on the street where there are lots of unpredictable factors at play.

@@ryanmalone2681 no I'm talking about my bike the Hayabusa totally geared differently from a naked bike naked bikes a geared low my bike goes over 100 in first gear I was thinking about trading it in for a Naked Bike so much easier to work on just a better bike for the streets

@@richardcerritelli9657 Yeah I get it. My point is, if you have tall gearing, 200hp, and still can’t put it all down without practically laying on top of the handlebars, smaller gear ratios and a more upright position isn’t going to help you out the power down so it’s not going to be noticeably faster.

Heavier and less power than my Monster R. Mine looks better too.
