Thanks for watching! That’s a good question - I am 5’11” and went with the Alpinestars Tech 7 Enduro (GasGas Edition). The Enduro has a thicker sole with more grip so it gives me an extra inch over my standard SMX A Stars. One note though - like a lot of other TH-camr riders, I raised my shifter to just above the height of my right peg since the Tech 7 is so stiff. They have great protection and are super comfortable. I didn’t get the dry star but it’s mostly only wet up here in the early spring or late fall… for a long trip the waterproof version might pay off. 👍🏼

The Toyota Matrix was actually a partnership with GM. The Pontiac Vibe was the same car.

@@Jutamayo Agreed. 👍🏼

Definitely is heavier (26lbs heavier) but I find the shorter wheel base of the SFV2 and more aggressive position makes for a much quicker turn in. It is also wider between the thighs … funny the SFV4 is only 5lbs heavier than the V2 and narrower. Thanks for watching. 🤘🏼

Hey - good eye. I put my old Streetfighter counter weighs on since I cruise pretty fast and the 700 steering is super stable on the highway… at least up to 160kph which is about the limit of the tires, but it still punches up to 180 no problem. Haha

@@streetsandpeaks3013 and about vibrations?

@@edwsec​​⁠Only vibration is the front tire over 160. I rode the 701 with rim locks and by all accounts it was brutal on road. Likely more to do with wheel balance. I haven’t ridden without the weights on my 700 but I will take them off when I get proper hand guards.

Hey thanks for watching. I am 180cm (5’11”). The seat is tall…but feels OK with my enduro boots. I was thinking about a lower seat (I don’t want to change the suspension set up and lose any travel off road) but off road it feels fine. It feels like a dirt bike honestly. The stock seat itself though needs to go … not comfortable for long hauls since the edges are very sharp and hard. Looking at replacing the seat cover or the whole seat but it is very $$.

@@datacipher Haha! No it’s not. Did you keep watching? I was joking about my phone being in front of the clock. ⏰ Also thanks for watching an 8 year old video! Still love the Corolla iM but now drive a Tacoma Off Road. 👍🏼

@@warrencurrie6454 Haha! The road leading to the stop sign is actually closed. Still a stop sign…lol

@@endurophutwick489 I don’t think it would stand up as a “dangerous pass” in court with all the video but he did walk away…not sure if the cameras helped change his mind though. Still, I agree - no ticket is a good way to end my day!

Yep 👍🏼

I almost bought the green … but all my Ducati’s have been red, because Ducati! 🤌🏼

Totally safe. The officer with the glasses was being a dick. The other one smiled and almost laughed.

He isn’t wrong though -I have had some close calls on that road

I agree ☝🏼

In this case I don’t really think I was dangerous at all. I took my time, waited for a down hill straight and had a full field a view. Also passed them one at a time at 40kph-60kph… (I honestly could have passed them all in one blast at over 100 and thought I was being super cautious. Lol).

@@streetsandpeaks3013100% agree .

Like going to MacLean.

@@LosBlogos Congrats! Is the 2025 “the final edition”? What a great bike. As soon as they announced the new down powered V2 I knew this was the best choice in my budget. The V4 is nuts but for the price of a V4 I have my SFV2 and a dual sport 700. 👍🏼

@ I haven’t heard anything official if this is the last year but I knew I had to get one as the ride is unbelievable. I have a 2017 Ducati XDiavel S which is the best sport cruiser style in my opinion and is a monster if you want to bring it alive; I however wanted to get back to sportbike feel without having to completely lay down 😅. I 44 now and my 20-30s no issue but now the cockpit and feel of the Streetfighter platform is awesome! I think this coming season I will be most likely selling the XDiavel

@ Me too… only I am older! Haha There is a video about the set up. Tipping the bars forward was a great improvement for me and definitely check the suspension settings / front pre-load. 👍🏼

@ thx 😊

@ you have any tips in regards to taking small scratches out of the instrument screen. I was sanding in the shop a bit and wiped the dust off the instrument screen which made a a few small scratch lines when the lights hits hit a some angles. Stupid me 😣

@@ABrider-f1c thanks for watching. I don’t like turning back once I dive in. Haha! The 700 is the perfect bike for these adventures. 🤘🏼

Still the stock tires! lol they are actually OK in the wet - but off road the front needs to go.

Continental TKC 80

@@ricardoespiritu8843 Congratulations! Sweet ride!! Enjoy! Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

@@davemunro3330 Brutal!! Thank god I had your tail lights to follow buddy!

@@vancityismine908 All good questions - thanks for watching too. I rode the MT09 and think either is a massive step up (other than giving up having gas gauge, lol). With unlimited budget V4S all day!! At moderate speeds the win on the V4 is how much lower the engine revs and much less heat under seat compared to the V2. You will also find the quick shifter and low end torque unmatched in any bike! Seriously, I’ve ridden a lot of bikes and the SFV4 is top of my list now. I don’t use the rain mode here and instead prefer to customize the standard riding modes to add traction, wheelie control, ABS, limit engine power and engine braking mode. Pro-tip - the Ducati Engine Braking modes are dramatic!! Tune one road mode down for daily use but keep the engine power up. 👍🏼 The rain mode on the V2 is still more power than the Monster 937, lol. As to the seat height - didn’t notice any difference other than the engine fitting slimmer between the legs. Definitely a plus. Ducati also offers seat heights rather than adjusting suspension height straight away. Definitely test ride both if you can. I am curious what you think. Check the V4 comments here… it rocks.

@@PD-gt7on 🇨🇦👍🏼

@@charlesgutscher1923 I did set the full engine power up in the race mode in the shop before we pulled it out. 👍🏼 I am with you - it is better in every way (only doesn’t enjoy traffic at slow speeds). Pretty sure I will have one in the next couple years. Funny thing though - when I got back on the V2 my confidence was next level with the drop in power. Funny to say that at 153hp. Haha Thanks for watching . 👍🏼

@@streetsandpeaks3013 it's funny because I found my V4 easier to ride at slow speed. The V2 was so clunky. The V4S will just chug right along. I also have mine tuned and don't really remember much from when it wasn't. I did the Akrapovic slip on and OFT tune right after it's first service. Lol. I'm thinking of buying a panigale V2 for track days.

@@hey_im_him The V4 is next level in every way … and you’re right, the counter rotating crank eliminates any rotational force on the throttle in corners. It rides surprisingly small for adding 60hp!!

@@Joeyinbrooklyn I actually just ran it from under the seat - along the tank on the right side (I found I could push it in lightly between the panels.) 👍🏼

@@streetsandpeaks3013 thank you! I pick my Monster up next month!

@@-enyo- Hello! Thanks for watching. I just hit over 5000km. I bought the bike in August last year but it was gone for two months for repairs after an attempted theft. I also put @2000km on my dual sport 700. My IG is @ streetsandpeaks 👍🏼

May I know the reason you sold sfv2? What are the drawbacks you felt during your rides with sfv2?

⁠@@TheMask2882​​⁠I didn’t. Did you want the video?? lol

@@TheMask2882 I made 2 videos before this about test riding the V4 Streetfighter. Watch those and let me know your thoughts? Have you ridden the V4 and V2 back to back?

I know….start saving now!!! Haha 🤣

@@shadimagdy8196 I just some spy pics with the new aero added to the SFV4 - looks siiiiiick!!!

@streetsandpeaks3013 will they release it 2025? Usually they wait one year after new panigale is released!

@@shadimagdy8196 I haven’t seen anything official… 🤞🏼

@streetsandpeaks3013 yes we can only wait and see what the 5th of November will bring to us! I am between the streetfighter v4s and the new panigale mate! Might also pull the trigger end of this year!

So true!! Haha Can we even put a price on that?? 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Fair warning!!! ⚠️ Once you ride it you can’t blame me for what happens next. Haha The V2 is great … the V4 is just more great! Haha

@@markholmes5695 nice! - the grey looks sick! I’m hoping to get out again and hit the 300 mark. 🤘🏼

@@streetsandpeaks3013 nice! Easily done. Just make sure tires are good for it, you’d not fair well if they burst 💥 😂

@@markholmes5695​​⁠ I ran my Rosso 3 rear to the wire on my last Monster … close call! Then week one on the Rosso 4 rear I punctured and bought a Dunlop Q5S. 😂

@@streetsandpeaks3013 madness 😂 I’m trying something more sport touring. The Pirelli Angel GT 2’s. Want more mileage. I’ll sacrifice some edge grip for straight line longevity. I’m never going to bank the bike to 50 odd degrees in the road so the corsa 2’s it come with are wasted on me….also they don’t last too long

@@markholmes5695 agreed - 5000km max and I ride highway a lot so center patch is done well before the sides. My Dunlop was also faster in a straight line.

1 2 or 3 are pretty extreme. Took a while to get used to it, but, I love it now, I hardly ever use brakes coming bro corners.

@@v4rides51 Yes, I mixed that up. On my V2 Sport mode I have the Engine braking ramped up and in road I toned it down to double my daughter. 👍🏼

Thanks for watching. Couldn't agree more! I will do a proper follow up video soon - the comparisons across the board make the V4 more complete in more ways than I suspected before riding it. The level of finesse and quality in the V4 is at another level I didn’t know existing. This is the next bike on my list. #spoiler

😢

@@gocubs0011 Don’t tell my wife … but seriously thinking about it. Need a longer test ride though. Got close to my V2 top speed in 4th … lol 😂

@streetsandpeaks3013 lol. While I loved my v2, the v4 is on another level and all the bike I'll ever need. I do ride in traffic close to my house before I get to open road so sometimes I'll drop the bike down into road mode until I get out of traffic so slow speed riding isn't bad at al.

I really don't like this sporty position in v4 :/ I have the impression that it is bigger than v2

@@daruraru​​⁠Hi! Have you ridden the V4? It is actually only 5lbs heavier and 1cm longer. The funny thing is when you sit on it, it is noticeably narrower between your legs. There is something though about the center of balance - had to say but I think it is higher than the V2. I agree about the position - I would adjust the front fork and bars to sit a little more upright. 👍🏼 Thanks for watching.

It’s a demo that has been ridden all season. Turns out they knew it had a leak and thought it was fixed (likely from the oil cooler). Let’s just say - after the way I ride demo bikes - I wouldn’t buy any demo. 😂

@@Mid-Knife-Crisis69 Full season Demo. 👍🏼

@@streetsandpeaks3013 I suppose it has been abused, but still not great...

@@hibrooksphotography2062 thanks 👍🏻

Oil is probably over filled

@@TheMask2882 Hey - good question. Unfortunately my experience is that it totally depends on how fast you are riding. If you are pushing hard high revs the light comes on early and then if you slow down it can shut off. I ride pretty quick all the time so 215km was a stretch for me. The worst case I had I was empty at 160km. Ugh!! My advice - ride normally and then when the light comes on go right away and fill up. See how much gas you used and how much left to 16L. Hope that helps. Cheers!

@@streetsandpeaks3013 thanks for your reply. V2 is preety new to me about 2 months and I'm not able to understand this fueling yet. Your answer did help me. Thank you once again.

I know … it’s brutal. You can skip the ride chat to the walk around. All my new videos since have proper mic’s. 👍🏼

@@petitlandais2665 They are solid but still the throttle side folds back at 190-200kph … Oxford is a budget mirror - I will either replace them or lock tight them! Haha

@@geraldduncan1808 I definitely needed more time to dial in the adjustable suspension - no problem getting the speed up. 👍🏼 Going to ride the Streetfighter V4 this week - that one should be a game changer!

Thanks for watching! And good question / the windscreen helps immensely!!! I still tuck down over 160kph but at speed the wind is channeled right over my helmet… and let’s face it, from there to 260kph you probably want your head down. Haha! I made another video about the screen - the one negative is I lost about 10kph in top speed with the screen and wings combined. 255 or 265 … still worth it to not get blown off my bike! 👍🏼

I was actually going to go with Lithium and my Ducati dealer told me changing the battery from the OEM spec voided my electrical warranty in Canada… so I went with their advice. 🙃

@@shadytwin I need the magnet device like mountain bikers have! I forget all the time. Haha!

Thanks for the tips!

Agreed! Haha Bought new mic’s after this one.

@@brandonrbt1 Hey - I will see if I can find the link for the screws. I saw them on the SFV2 user group. Oxford mirrors are available everywhere - but fair warning- I am having trouble with them turning in over 180kph. Not sure if there is a fix or I will try something else.

@@foxtailadventures Thanks for watching. The 700 / 690 is such a contrast to my Streetfighter it is a different kind of blast to ride and get to the first and gravel when I can. My last dual sport was a Honda XL 500 and bikes have come so far since those days. Looking for some longer trips on the 700. 🤘🏼

I rode the two literally back to back to back the same day. The electronics / driving modes are identical. Have you ridden both? When you ride the SP there is no question it is a better ride and obviously more adjustable, but it is also unmistakably the same motor with the same tune. The real question in the end, is it worth the additional cost $$ to basically upgrade the ride on the same 937 Monster? Or if you watch the next video - are you better off spending a couple grand extra and getting on a Streetfighter V2 if you really want more performance. I said a ton of good things about the SP over the Monster Plus, but again - it’s thousands of dollars I feel are better spent on a bike with a more powerful motor like the V2. Thanks for watching… guessing you are an SP owner?

@@streetsandpeaks3013 i am and sp owner and there is a big difference and different tune for the electronics with the Ohlins on it and different with the basics if you go to but the extras and install it on the current 937 will cost you the same or even more now about the is it worth it nothing comes free in this life if you know the recipe give it to me also mate ✌️😎

@@jean-frederickjacques6780 I didn’t pry it out - I just gave it a wiggle to make sure it was loose and then when you lift it out, tip the top towards yourself and it pops right out. The hard part for me was getting a wrench on the rear connector because my dealer stripped the screw when they installed it. Thanks for watching.
