Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022 Review, Specs and Launch

[@jonathanvh09]

What about this streetfighter v2 vs the supersport 950s? They seem to have the same purpose? Sport and street? Wich one to recommend? What are the differences?

[@richardbrooks4549]

They have different engines. SF has 35 more horse power for starters and flat bars. SS has clip ons

[@jonathanvh09]

@@richardbrooks4549 yes, but they serve the same purpose. Sporty riding but comfortable. It makes a lot more sense to hear about the differences then between the supersport and the panigale for example. Which is sportier?, which is more comfortable?, ...what about touring/cruising and commuting? Is the only difference the pk and the looks?

[@richardbrooks4549]

@@jonathanvh09 No. that’s not the only difference. The panigale is lighter, sportier and far more powerful than the SS. And this is a review of the SF V2. It would be strange to do a comparison of the SS and Panigale in an SF review!

[@jonathanvh09]

@@richardbrooks4549 i know. But thats not what i ment. The panigale is a track bike. These are sporty rond bikes an good for occasional track days. I would like to see a comparisson of the ss and the sf. Who are both about same price range. Its naked vs one with a cowl. But for ridingstyle they want the same thing. The sf will probably be more of a hooligan bike.

[@richardbrooks4549]

@@jonathanvh09 yep. That would be a good comparison

At last the review is here!!!! thanks Toad.

[@paulmcadam6825]

Another excellent real world review!

[@1990-t1j]

Excellent review.

[@visordown]

Thank you

[@freebehindbars8654]

Glad it’s the 2022 review, already saw the 2021.

[@GIGABACHI]

Great Review as usual. 👌🙂

[@fyorbane]

Beautiful machine Toad. Even better and sleeker looking than the V4 Streetfighter. The exhaust system looks far neater and better. This bike makes much more sense than the crazy 180hp plus hyper nakeds and will be more usable on the street. I am seriously looking at this as my next bike along with the new 22 model Yamaha MT10 SP. Can't decide between them but I will try to blag a test ride on them when they are available. Anyway mate take care and keep the video's coming.

[@savvy121]

I was torn between those too but the MT 10 cp4 does it for me.

[@WaltiKopatz]

Excellent review, thank you

[@visordown]

Thank you, stay tuned for EICMA!

[@WaltiKopatz]

@@visordownI own the Panigale V2, a comparison with the Streetfighter V2 would be very interesting :)

[@visordown]

Noted this one, thank you!

[@calvindwwww]

Does it have the same hard to grip tank as the v2 and 959 or more like the v4?

[@ChrisMag100]

I don't find the tank hard to grip on my SFV4S. I have the OEM tank grips installed.

[@fingarz]

Do you think they will make an 'S' version soon? Or just leave that as an option for the SFV4?

[@morri03]

Doubt it as it would be too close in price to the v4

[@GoGoggansGo]

@@morri03 yeah and at that point why not get the V4

[@K113-A]

Is it as hot as the V4?

[@johnbrown4568]

Brilliant 👌

[@101Websurfing]

That is bad ass!!!

[@robertdavis4761]

Great review, as always. I own a 2020 Speed Triple S which I love. How does this V2 compare as a street bike? Worth the upgrade next season??

[@visordown]

Wait for for the Speed Triple 1200 RS to land in dealers!

[@conceptsmart]

Wings! Here as well!

[@masongoss4615]

Worth the extra over the Monster?

[@abymathew295]

Is it better than 890 Duke R..even though it has 25 more bhp..🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@GIGABACHI]

Don't get caught on the spec sheet conundrum. Try riding both and make your own decision. 🙂👍

[@abymathew295]

@@GIGABACHI , i have riden the 890R...and its one of my favourite nakeds out there...Streetfighter V2 is not here yet.

[@jarradstanton]

I'm currently on a SFV2, after coming off a Duke 890R. SF all the way imo. 890R feels like a plastic toy. Mine had valve cover gasket leak, css leak, water in ftf, coolant leak, electrical fault, and quick shifter stopped working, all before 5000 miles. I will NEVER buy another KTM. I currently own 3 Ducati's, SS950S, V4 Multi S, and SFV2. So far all have been reliable.

[@heroicspirit3569]

2nd is the best

[@visordown]

Thanks!

[@aeror115]

Great naked Italian beauty 😍 The V2 Version is gonna get many many happy bikers

[@tonyarbs]

How is it on the street vs a Monster 1200? I’d imagine a lot less torquey. Love my wheelies so thinking I’d be disappointed in this.

[@jonburrowsmaybe]

A replacement for the Monster 1200?

[@MandelloUK]

What about the low rpm soundtrack....agricultural...?

[@Chilliesauce69]

Looks the absolute dogs nuts, not sure if I’d rather have this or the new KTM Super Duke R though. Good review thanks ✌🏻

[@rickkeppel1265]

Wondering what the options might be on this compared to a 890R. I really love my little duke but would like a bit more power

[@NYCnapeHb]

Hi, thank you for the great video. Quick question if you don’t mind. I do have a Diavel 1260(standard but with factory quick shifter) and want something a little more sporty that I can take a time or two a year on the track. I test rode my friend’s Streetfighter V4S and was very disappointed with the lack of the low end for regular street riding. I did place the order for the Storm Green Streetfighter V2 but the dealer doesn’t have one to test ride, so my question is if the V2 has the grunt in low RPMs for the street riding similar to the Diavel 1260 or am I better off upgrading to the Diavel 1260S? Thank you!

[@mdbierly]

How do you think they compare? I have an xDiavel and the SFV2 and find myself rarely riding the XD anymore.

[@simonbrereton8643]

Hi toad I’m a short rider at 5’7 just wondering how tall you are?and did you find it comfortable ?

[@boomjykeo2]

I’m 5’4” and I really wanna know the answer to this question too!

[@abymathew295]

Im riding a Duke 390 with same 835mm seat height im 5.8..and im perfectly fine with that seat height.

[@bbbonthemoon]

Im 5’8 and riding v4 version, which has the same seat height I believe. I had to install accessory lower seat to make it comfortable

[@GoGoggansGo]

@@bbbonthemoon i can concur with that i have a 21 streetfighter v4 I’m 5.8 with short ass legs i tippy toe on the stock seat get the lower seat and it’s much better This is a bike for someone that’s had a few bikes before otherwise full send it worth every penny

[@boomjykeo2]

I’m just jealous of all of you above 5’6” 😂

[@DCGULL01]

Wow, Toad- we saw things VERY differently? The '22 Ducati SF V2 & '22 Ducati SuperSport 950S are GROUNDBREAKING. Ducati 'could' sell lots & lots of these to smart riders. Insanely well developed street 'leaning' bike w/ track proven everything that you don't have to worry that you'll reach escape velocity! If I were a Ducatista- id be yelling from the rooftops. Surprised I haven't seen more of a flow that way?

[@prabhugautham]

It's launched in India too, it's winglets are wobbly seems like a poor quality , heat near legs are just high if stuck in a traffic jam, no wind protection etc.

[@uriloki]

yeah... that's a ducati... naked and stf XD

[@Falkon786]

Looking at the specification for this motorcycle, the seat height is 845. I am not sure if they have done their homework as there are many riders that cannot reach the ground even with a 830 seat height. I think manufacturers need to accommodate riders that will be comfortable with at least 810 seat height.

[@bjfikky]

There’s a low seat height accessory

[@drizzyrsx6200]

Does anyone make an electronic cruise control for these yet?

[@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou]

At that price I expect the fuelling to be right.

[@lafaietcastro]

You mean fuel gauge? As far as I saw, it does not have one, just like the v4. Ridiculous!

[@robertmarschall3597]

My only question is, does the V2 come with the aeroWings? The video shows both, but the 1 u review does not... thxInAdvance & rideSafeFam!!!

[@Phoenixr-ql2kc]

They are an accessory now, so you can get them as an extra

[@Desmo904]

They won't do anything under about 120mph so it's fairly arbitrary. I think they look terrible personally.

[@ogremair803]

The instrument cluster is horrendous on the Streetfighter. Ducati created a beautiful naked bike, then slapped that thing right above the headlights.

[@Desmo904]

The seat has been made bigger to accommodate a pillion? Good luck getting anyone to sit on the back of that cos it certainly wouldn't be me!

[@reddpill]

Yamaha, you paying attention? When you release a bike, you release it and not have us wait another 8 months for it

[@bikeobsessedau5178]

Yamaha left the chat 4 years ago... The new MT's are ugly AF, and compare the MT09 to this thing.... I'd like to ride the MT10 and the SFV2 back to back to feel that out, but honestly - Euro bikes have their haters and people say they are overpriced - The Yamaha simply won't be as nice as the Ducati... It just wont... I've got mates with MT09's and MT10's, GSX-S 1000's, Z1000's, even KTM Duke 790/890's.... Compared to the Italian bikes I've riden/own - they all miss the mark... They are cold, emotionless, and feel cheaply constructed by comparison.... An MT09 (Japan's closest competitor) next to my MV Agusta is a joke... The fit and finish of the Japanese bikes simply isn't there. Trust me - Yamaha aren't paying attention to this.

[@remigusker]

The bike seems good, but I'm just having a hard time not figuring out why I wouldn't spend a little extra and get the Super Duke for a lot more engine and personality.

[@abymathew295]

Absolutely my thought too.

[@koenigsegg1237456789]

cos it's a Ducati and it is red😀

[@deadlyapollo]

Ducati is just a brand that makes no sense from a price view. It's a total status symbol. There will always be a better, faster, more reliable bike in Ducatis price points but NOTHING will ever take the status title away. The answer is always "it's a fuckin Ducati!"

[@abymathew295]

@@deadlyapollo , same like apples products..😂🤣

[@deadlyapollo]

@@abymathew295 bingo! Nothing is intuitive or innovative, the software is broken from a programmers perspective, nearly everything is locked behind a paywall. They look good but I can't fathom why any sane person would own one .....

[@P6_7R_Nick]

I like it more for not having the wings. That looks proper nice. The V4 looks a bit, well, Meh!

[@bbbonthemoon]

What about heat? Does it cook your bum like panigale v2?

[@eyalny]

I know a guy that bought the V4 and a day later put it on sale. Totally no back seat, something that you usually use in a naked bike

[@a-a-ronenduro6969]

Just not sure who will buy this for the price. $2500 usd more you get a base V4 SF which is pretty mild mannered until you reach the top and will certainly be worth the additional monies when you go to sell it.

[@pyrolysis2129]

What an amazing looking motorcycle. I think the GSX-S1000 could smoke it on the track for much cheaper but nicely done Ducati.

[@morri03]

No way

[@bikeobsessedau5178]

You're MAD if you think the GSX-S1000 is going to even come close to this thing.... Yes its a 1000cc... Not even in the same league as far as weight/handling are concerned. The GSX-S might be a better street bike but on track, its a pig.... My MV Dragster 800 destroys my mates GSX-S1000 around a track - its not even similar except for down a LONG straight where the thousand has longer legs.

[@Love4boost]

I think it’s possibly the most beautiful naked bike and equipped with everything you could possibly want unless you ride in cold weather. But there is no way I’d take this over the new MT-10

[@andrewtaylor9799]

"They're only really there because they have to be." Come on. Mirrors matter. Otherwise, nice review.

[@AngelSapundzhiev]

For about $2,000 less, you can get a brand new standard Tuono V4… for about $2,000 more, you can a brand new Tuono Factory… both are a better choice than this overpriced Ducati, in my book.

[@humandroid53]

Looks nicer too!

[@AngelSapundzhiev]

@@humandroid53 and more practical, not to mention - still a V4!

[@craigprosser9554]

That’s fine until you try to find a dealer for warranty repairs or servicing for the Aprilla’s I love them but it just puts me off buying one

[@riccardopolacchi]

Yes, or a Triumph speed triple RS 1200, more powerful, full Ohlins, brembo stylema etc

[@rideoutlondon]

Like anything you buy in life Ducati you pay a premium for because of the name and looks. There’s something special about riding a Ducati.
