Five Things I Do & Don't Like About My Ducati Streetfighter V2

- I think that I've had my Streetfighter just long enough to justify putting out this video.
So far I'm enjoying the experience. Although if I haven't ridden it for a while it's quite daunting to get back on it again. Especially if I've been running around on my little Svartpilen.
The extra weight becomes very noticeable hopping between those two bikes... and so does the extra speed! It's way too easy to be cruising at speeds which the Svartpilen has to really work for.
Hope that you enjoy this video for what it is. And remember to comment, like and subscribe!

Amazing Ducati 🎉 My next bike 100%
I love mine. Top 5 for me would be looks, sound, quick shifter, cornering ability and seating position. I am 6'4 and the riding position is great.
It's surprising how versatile a bike it is, eh!
I love the looks too. So eye catching. Sound... I'm with you there 👌🏼
It's nice to know someone take than me enjoys it and I'm 6"1.
I test ride this bike this past weekend and I was so in love with it that I completely overlooked that there is no fuel gauge! It’s completely mental to me that they would choose not to include it in a prestige bike like this. Other than that, it’s extremely likely to be my next bike in the next few weeks!😎👍
It's a fantastic bike for sure @BrandingBuff. But yes, it's pretty weird that in this day and age Ducati don't have the technology to work around this issue.
You just need fewer mates. I never forget to set the trip👍😂 Loved that opening scene.
I need less mates then is what you are saying 🤔😂
@@CampbellZeroOne Well I don’t have any but I can always set my trip. Swings and roundabouts! 😂👍
Beautiful backdrop
It's a lovely bit of the world for sure Chris, thanks 👍🏻
Well done on your review!! i have done 6000 km in 12 weeks, i put on CRG Bar mirrors, Akrapovic full system, Sports mode on open road but Wet mode in traffic so it crackles and Pops as you lane split 🔥, and Tail tidy. But Wow what a bike, ride in 8000 plus and hold on and 😂smile 🏍👍🇦🇺
I REALLY wish that I could have afforded the Akrapovic full system Leigh. But it's out of my reach at the moment. Looks fantastic and finishes off the bike perfectly.
You're right about hitting 8000rpm... Takes off from there and sound turns up a notch too.
While I've got your attention, is there a Ducati map/tune that they do with that exhaust when it's fitted? Or is the cost just for the system and not including labor etc?
@@CampbellZeroOne the tune comes with the exhaust.
@@MrTurtle46 Cool. You notice much of a difference in sound and torque over standard?
@@CampbellZeroOne definitely a deeper better sound and a little better bottom end.
@@MrTurtle46 Stop it! 🙉😂
Bottom 5
1. Snatchy throttle- I haven’t fitted spacers yet
2. Mirrors- useless
3. Slightly too forward position for me at 5’11’
4. Have to go 1st, 2nd then neutral
5. Uneven running in traffic, have to filter riding the clutch
Top 5
1. Handling
2. Fun factor
3. Smooth power curve up rev range
4. Looks and image
5. Everything else!
Good summary Graham. Although I felt that I needed to drop the bars a little to put it in a slightly sportier riding position. Fitted 890R bars (I'm around 5'10")
Ello man, where did you get the wheel rim decals? All the suppliers I’ve been able to find are euro based and approx 3-4 weeks delivery and none have the Italian tricolor red/white/green detail which finishes the look superbly. Thanks in advance 👍🏻
Hi Alistair. Link to my short below with eBay site in description. They are listed as 'Multistrada' but if you tell them it's for a Ducati Streetfighter V2 in the comments box at checkout they'll change it out for you. They were really helpful. From Europe I'm afraid, but worth the wait. And I doubt it'll take 3-4 weeks regardless.

I've installed exhaust and tune on mine and it rides so much better around town. 30mph in 3rd gear is smooth.
Is that the Akrapovic Junior? I've some saving to do before I can afford one of those 😬
Bro did you manage to install the v4 winglet by yourself??.. perhaps a tutorial on that would be nice.. 😁😁
Great video btw 👌
Thanks Yuvi. No, it was pre-installed by my dealership, but I'll take a look at it and see what I can do.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
@@CampbellZeroOne yeah that would be really helpful as I am getting more and more closer to buying the streetfighter V2 and the looks of your V2 is almost exactly the one that I had in mind. Lets see what happens
@@yuvi_tamu If you're ordering your accessories along with the bike they should come pre-fitted along with the original parts boxed up and ready to take with you. At least that's what my Ducati dealership did Yuvi. The only other accessory I would have loved to have been able to put on straight away would have been the Akrapovic system. Out of my reach at the moment though. But I'm sure it'll make me appreciate it all the more because I've had to wait for it.
I'm loving mine, top 5 positive things for me are handling, the noise, the blipper and downshifting, the looks and the feel good factor, couldn't be happier with it.
The mirrors are garbage and the only thing I can really criticise it for, but will get bar end ones soon. I got mine from Ducati Worcester and they have been brilliant looking after me 👌
Hi Swiss. Thanks for your 5 positves.
Yeah, it sounds bloody awesome doesn't it.
I'm happy with the Ducati dealership experience too. Just a shame that my nearest one is hours away because it would be nice to be able just to drop in and have a coffee and run any queries by them.
Good to hear I should be collecting mine from them in the next week or two!
Interesting to see MCN prefer it to the big Street fighter v4s in this week's issue 👌
@@swiss889 I saw that. Good article. If anybody is going to know it's the bike journos. They get to try loads of different bikes.
I suppose it's all down to how and where you you are riding though.
@@WSMK-oz6ru Do you expect to get a few miles under your belt before winter sets in?
I have had my Streetfighter V2 for a few months now. I agree with the mirrors, and I’m also going to put bar-end mirrors on. The lack of a fuel gauge is inexcusable. My 2010 Multistrada 1200s has a fuel gauge, yet my 2022 SF doesn’t. I don’t understand this….
By the way, removing the passenger foot pegs is pretty easy. That was the first think that I ditched.
Good to know Tazawa. I'll do that over the winter while I've nothing else to tinker with.
Mirrors have been swapped out for bar ends, so a short video will pop up soon.
Yes, i really enjoyed my Streetfigher V2. Too much. I was "blitzed" by radar, and lost my permit.
Nah?!! How long will that be for? Will you have to attend any courses?
Interesting Five things.. hmmm It'd be to precious for me. Yeah SFV4S has same flimsy stand. Doesn't mean I wouldn't be happy with a SFV2 in the garage with the Tuono's.
Won't stay precious. You know how it is for the first few months with a new bike. Every little blemish feels like a big deal.
At the end of the day, it's a machine that was made for riding!
@@CampbellZeroOne Very True.
As far as the paint goes, the 1st thing I did, I had my bike wrapped.
Was that with a transparent pre cut kit? How's it holding up after washing etc?
I was going to have one until i found out about the fuel gauge or lack of
I bought a 1290 super duke r, cmon Ducati get it together, you got the style but it needs to be usable and i wont buy one without a fuel gauge, its a deal breaker
Have to admit that it's a proper pain. Okay If I'm on roads that I use a lot because I've a rough idea when I need to top up. If I travel farther afield and I'm having 'fun' it's hard to be so sure. Especially if I don't reset the trip. Which isn't something I should have to be thinking about.
Still. I love this bike!
Sounds like Moose will be your winter hack
Never! He's too precious to me. tHOR the Svartpilen will take up the slack on those rare dry winter days though 😉
we don't get a fuel gauge because of the shape of the tank.....
Cheers RtL. I thought it would be something like to that 👍🏻
@@CampbellZeroOne getting my SFV4 in April.....the wait is unbearable.
@@lake76 Ooh! Nice one. I remember that feeling well. It'll only get worse once the dealer up updates and emails start coming in 😂
Ducati mirrors are notoriously shit. I replaced my monster and then my Streetfighter with bar end mirrors. In my opinion they look better and definitely perform better.
If you think that Ducati mirrors are crap, you need to try the standard KTM ones. At least the Ducati ones look good 😂
I see what you mean, antenna!
@@TheRealOmnissiah And they usually move...
They aren't too bad on my Panigale but don't fold like they used to on the older bikes. Slight knock and they snap
@@TheRealOmnissiah And I'm guessing that's wiring/indicators need replaced too? Expensive knock.
Bro 15 min for 5 things is too long lol
But it was 10 things 😉😅
