I miss that thing so much. Where she shines is on cornering, the bike is extremely agile. And on pulls she comes alive after 8k rpm. Once you throw an exhaust on there it feels completely different and sounds amazing with arrow. I had some overheating issues and false fuel lights but once I switched to a full exhaust it eliminated heating issues and replaced the fuel assembly twice. Issue with false fuel light persisted but Ducati told me it was by design. Also one of the few bikes where you actually feel the difference in sport mode.
Thx for the review, Manny. This was truly an honest first ride review (with 2 miles on the bike). I've had my '22 V2 for two years and a month now and had the same reactions in my first ride (bike shutting off, hard to find neutral, kick stand pulling a Houdini, and brakes). I'm coming from having owned (2) 600's and (5) liter bikes and the break in is different for the V2. I actually read the manual because there were only three reviews that were online back then (there weren't many V2 reviews out back then). But your review is spot on with what I experienced. I appreciate the video and you were right; that color in the sun!!! BEAUTIFUL!
@@Motomillion i disagree. Power has alot to do with it. If you put someone on 150hp super bike who doesn’t know how to properly shift gears, and doesn’t have honed throttle control, things will most likely not end well for them.
Up until 620 miles and me resetting the oil light and removing the charcoal cannister, my V2 would die constantly coming up to a light, its on 700ish miles now and hasn't died coming up to a stop in my last 3-4 rides, but we shall see. And even after removing the charcoal cannister it was still constantly dying coming up to a stop and hitting nuetral. Seems to be super common on this model, I took my cannister off and plugged it around 150 miles. Another thing I would recommend is changing the oil at 200-300 miles before the first service, tons of junk in that first oil change.
955cc with almost 160hp, more than enough power for the streets + some extra. But yeah it’s a “baby bike” lmao. Pretty much no one is even able to drive a 600cc bike to its limit on public roads already.
@@rotirot3362you to far 400cc are enough for many roads and some don't use full potential of it too. I have Duke 390 still i find difficulty to use full potential on road streets
Bro! Just took delivery of my black V2, 3 weeks ago, traded in my 2021 V2. You mention the feel of the quick shifter, I can say going from 21' to 24', the clunky feeling from 1st to 2nd has been dramatically improved! Also, don't ever trust that gas light!!
@@Motomillion And as you have done, thanks to your website, before my 1st ride, I already had the radiator guard, tank protector, throttle spacers and brake caliper spacers on hand, ready for install. I appreciate your company's commitment to quality, keep up the good work!
Mad love brother!!! Great to see you! You guys are not doing repetitive, don’t let the haterz get to you boss! Brush em off of your shoulder like lint! 💚🦾👍🫡🥷🏽🫶
Manny good to see you took her out. It is such a noticeable audible difference from stock exhaust to full akro. And the bike runs you about the same range as a v4 money. I’m already sittin around 35 for mine. And not done w mods ether. Don’t cheep out w a slip on. Haha come on now I went full system. You can’t let lil ol nobody me be runnin full exhaust w it and you just go slip on. Haha It also feels a bit different w the race map too. I absolutely love the way this bike feels and I can’t wait for the summer time. In an extreme street rider and a track rider enthusiast. I can’t wait to play her this riding season. By the way on my first mods I forgot to say I got the clear clutch cover w the rest of stuff I listed the last time. Ready to see what you do w her next.
Beautiful color, thanks for the review - I have a 21 V2 and it's the most agile bike I have owed and most fun in canyon riding. A good portion of my build for this bike is from MOTOMILLION! keep it up, my man.
Yes if you have some control with not speeding and being responsible you can even start on a more powerful bike. This bike feels light and nimble and also the controls are super easy, which is more important than even the power of the bike.
@@hellfire08many people do just fine. I took the MF course and bought a r6 as my first bike, but I also don't ride like a maniac. Throttle control and common sense.
@@hellfire08 I started on a panigale v2. It was a reduced power mode with smooth throttle, wheelie control and traction control. It's a pretty expensive first bike and definitely can get yourself in some trouble even in reduced power mode. It's not for everyone but I wouldn't say it's bad to start on it.
I bought a V4S in 21 because my Aprilia Mille needs new radiators, I'd just sold a property and it made sense, the V4S is a tad daunting compared to my old Aprilia which nobody ever got the better of me on twisty roads..
I have a Ducati Panigale v2 (2021) and BMW S1000rr (2022) and the 0-100 is way faster on this than the BMW. Even though the BMW is quicker top end with all the hp. Currently I run a full titanium from AK, but I used Mivv Delta Race before, which is a slip on with one pipe out on the right side of the bike. The pops and bangs that MIVV gave was down low with shifting. And the AK just gives a very nice grumble of pops downshifting. Without the DB it sounds like a MotoGP bike! I am planning to add the South African Rotobox Carbon BOOST rims, you can check they have 50% red 50% black, looks insane and I think it will fit your black and red theme build very nicely. I am planning to put them on my S1K too. I use UpMap here in China and now run the AK map on the ECU. But I asked Brentune if they can send me a map and device to China and they said yes, I saw their numbers are pretty impressive.
Your wright about the the mirrors. Im still deciding what too about mine. I can't put indicators where mirrors are mounted. Because it isn't legal. I'm thinking bar end mirrors. Or is there something else that mounts?Where original mirrors mounted. Are there any good mirrors with built in indicators?
Surprisingly the Rizoma Stealth mirrors work really well for my size of person. You will still need to pull up your elbow to clearly see behind, but it is a good compromise from the stock mirrors where you can't see anything out of because of the shake. These mount where the original mirrors mount, and you can get the optional turn signals on the side where they are extremely bright. You can see them here : www.motomillion.com/collections/ducati-panigale-v2/mirrors
V2 is not a beginners bike, but ride what your heart tells you. It’s your decision making that will separate your danger. It’s not a V4 obviously, but it has everything including strength, speed and beauty. It’s almost the perfect bike. It’s not a 750, it’s not a litter either. If you can get the Bayliss edition with a full Akra exhaust, it even feels way better. Due to its suspension upgrade that comes with it, It even feels tighter and more responsive. If you’re looking for perfection, V2B is The Perfect Bike.
Great vid; your reviews are refreshing! Like the mods you guys have done. I'm curious how this compared to the Suzuki GSX-R 750. There are not may other middle-weight supersports left besides the aforementioned 2 (perhaps the R-9 belongs on the list as well). Thoughts? I'm looking to add a middle-weight supersport to the stable and customize it a bit. Thoughts/review welcome.
Thinking of getting this around july. Is it a good option for someone that had a superduke, currently have a sportster s and a z h2 for a 3rd supersport? Thanks!
Hey Manny, Love the V2 and look forward to the build. FYI - the indicator/signal turns off automatically after you make your turn... I still turn mine off out of habbit haha.
I agree w/u Manny. I think a lot of these joker’s commenting on you, just do not get it. As you said previous, it is the world we inhabit now & just take it as it comes. Do not ride around with little or no regard for others on the roads. Be they Rider’s, Driver’s, and / or Pedestrian’s. Manny thank you for your well thought out additions to the world of ground transport and motor sport. You are a good bloke mate 🦘🇦🇺 ☮️ out. 🤩 Hooroo fm West Oz.
Manny, question. If you were in your mid-50's, still wanted lot of fun riding (backroads, etc), and expected to keep the bike for years, would you go with the Diavel V4 or the Panigale V2? Ignoring the price difference.
I’m torn between red and black hate the gloss red but that black is really good looking just don’t knw if you can see the lines of the bike with a black colour on.
Im about to order the tail tidy from you guys. Question: Is the tidy always hiding the plate like that, or can you get the plate a bit more straight so it'll be more visible to others? By others, I mean cops, I just dont wa t to get negative attention. Lol, TIA.
This build would be definitely helpful for my V2 mods planned. Eagerly waiting for the Arrow slip on and other mods related to exhaust and tuning. Please consider delivering the products to India. The price of full system Akrapovic for V2 in India is quite high.
The V2 has to have more low-end torque than the V4R because being a 2-cylinder the pistons have a larger diameter and their stroke is longer than a V4R.
Awesome review I'm thinking of buying two red Panigale V2s for my twin boys so they can keep up with me on my Diavel V4. It seems there is no other bike that compares to the new Ducati Panigale V2 in terms of power, style, and electronic features. We looked at the Aprillas but they fell short on performance, specifically HP. Slow Rider out.
its a shame they cant sort out small details when it is such a nice bike, your paying a premium so all that little stuff shouldnt even be an issue....especially when they are already aware of it
Yes, you heard it right. The power has nothing to do with it. You want a light, nimble, easy to control and friendly bike. This checks all those boxes. A scooter is fast enough to get you in serious trouble if you are reckless with it.
I noticed that you used Shell gas. In 1970 I bought a Honda 750 K2 I did some experimenting with different brands of gas. I was trying to find the gas that would not foul my spark plugs as much. Shell was the worst then came Chevron, Mobile was a little better the best was Flying A (they were discontinued) equal to that was Union 76 they still have a few stations in California. For Arizona where I live now is Valero. The best price is Sam club but they just use whatever is the least expensive gas. And Costco is owned by China. I have not owned a motorcycle for about 23 years my second wife (now deceased) would not let me own one. She was afraid I would get killed on one. Now it is just my daughter and I . I’m looking for a bike in a couple of years to supplement my joy of driving my 20 year old Corvette. God Bless.
Nice review Manny, however you talk in the video and in your description about a lighter bike whereas truth is that the V2 is 2kgs heavier than the V4S. Dry weight for both bikes. Both bikes have a 17L fuel tank. The V2 is 2 kgs heavier according to official Ducati website and the bikes owner's manuals.
It's a 1 lb. difference between the V2 and V4S... 385 lbs. vs 384 lbs. for dry weight. 10 lb. difference for wet weight in favor of the V4S, though it has lots of carbon bits that make that possible.
You do realize some of Ducati's fastest bikes are V2's right? The V4 has only been out since 2018. It's a matter of what the rider wants.Always remember a few killers are stalking around on mislabeled H2R ram airs , unrestricted.👍💀
City outskirts street test on an Italian sports bike?! What’s the point of that?! Sorry fella, don’t mean any disrespect, but the most irrelevant test I’ve ever viewed.
"A baby small engine superbike..." what the hell this guys references is so weird, "a Ducati missing two cylinders...". For me as a sport bike rider since early 90s, a small size sportbike is a 400cc, middle size 600cc and big size is around 1000cc and up, also for me the typical and ultimate Ducati is and always was a 90 deg twin cylinder, nice Ducati still make them and I wish Aprilia kept the V-twins like the RSV Mille.
V twins have always been given extra CC allowance to compete against their inline 4 brothers. This bike competes against 600cc inline 4's. Also I believe this bike is in it's last year of production so you might see Ducati's next middleweight being a 600cc+ v4.
Unbelievable they STILL have the same crappy mirrors....and damn I was SO hoping they would LOSE the heavy assed single sided swingarm! 15 extra pounds for a bling gimmick? Seriously? Is the market THAT ignorant?
Lets be honest people should not purchase full fairing 150+bhp sports bikes to ride around city streets. How full size sport bikes perform in town; stop light to stop light in 1st gear is really nonsensical (Heat, vibrations, mirrors, etc.) Same as taking any low displacement bike/scooter to the track and review it of course low displacement bikes can go around a track but not well so why ride or review one there? I still think the black on black V2 is the best looking Ducati in the showroom today.
It's pretty flat and straight in South Florida so you have a challenge for sure...where's the nearest road with lots of turns and you can ride fast enough to keep the V2 engine in it's powerband (RPM range) and keep it leaned over most of the time for riding comfort? What's the nearest racetrack to Miami@@Mr_everything10 . Then take out a Ducati Scrambler and review it around town where it belongs or get a Desert-X and review it off road...In short ride and review bikes for their intended designs and targeted use cases. If you want to review a good all-rounder then review a Ducati Multistrada and take that on and off-road, City/hwy with luggage etc. like it was designed for.
ps. Mirrors on sports bikes are an oxymoron, they are not on the bike at the track; nor is anyone racing up a canyon road above the speed limit on a sports bike thinking about shaky mirrors for their safety.

I just love the colour scheme
One trick I found to make my mirrors stop shaking that much is to not ride over every reflector, pot hole and man hole cover you see.

Given there is a V4 i.e. Bigger more powerful model, then that does make this the baby of the two. Doesn't mean he's saying it lacks power.
Good review, Ducati killed it with that paint scheme, super clean. Red wheels would have been the cherry.
Might have been a little too much?

Thank you! The Pani V4's do it too, just never got used to them. Yet.
For a first bike hell yeah😏
this new v2 got same paint color with v4sp2? for me, sp2 looks much deeper black on
It may look same on camera but definitely is not same as the Sp2. This is metallic grey matte, while sp2 is simply matte black.

Nice review good stuff miami manny 👍👍
Thanks for watching
Stunning bike 🔥🔥🚀
Dream bike right there just cant believe ducati cannot fix those mirrors
Rizoma mirrors can fix it :)
taste ride for 2024 V2S
You'll get used to the kickstand, just use the toe on your boot and you'll get it every time 🙂🙂
I am definitely going to have to get used to it!
I am highly interested in a V2 build, not too many build on youtube that mod the heck out of it other than Jaret
Lets see what we can come up with.
@@Motomillion I'm sure you'll do wonders!
I’m torn between red and black hate the gloss red but that black is really good looking just don’t knw if you can see the lines of the bike with a black colour on.
Im digging this colour so much. Its straight from factory?
Yes, it is the new color way they announced for the V2
When i bought my 22 s1krr i had the tank filled with no extra charge 😂
I think they just forgot since we were in a hurry to have our bike (:
Very good I enjoyed this video
Glad you enjoyed it
When this bike was first announced the msrp was 16,500 in 2020. Now its 18595...inflation is ridiculous
Still worth it.
Cannot wait for the Aprilia RSV4 (RF maybe?).
Us neither!
Im about to order the tail tidy from you guys. Question: Is the tidy always hiding the plate like that, or can you get the plate a bit more straight so it'll be more visible to others? By others, I mean cops, I just dont wa t to get negative attention. Lol, TIA.
Has two positions, tucked and standard. We have it in the tucked position.
@@Motomillion Awesome, thanks! I will try finding the standard and order it. Ride safe!
no fuel gauge ??
Correct. The Panigale V2 has no fuel gauge ☹
you are doing great
keep it up
Thanks a lot!!!
you need the clear clutch and Rizoma mirrors :)
but this costs almost same as zx10r, at least in India, any idea why someone would buy it other than brand and styling preference.
The Ducati’s always have more excitement when it comes to the feel you get when you ride them. Some other bikes feel pretty dull.
Let’s see what cooks up here. I’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger on buying one of these…
I absolutely love mine
We will start mild but later on it will be a pretty spicy V2!
20k bike and no fuel indicator? But the bike looks very nice
Baby? thats adorbs!!!!
insane even this a baby superbike
my dream bike
Amazing machine!
21st century you get on a motorcycle and you do not know if there is a fuel in it, mama mia haahahahah
Could be worse…
My Ducati has no fuel gauge. Only a warning and then mileage countdown
This build would be definitely helpful for my V2 mods planned. Eagerly waiting for the Arrow slip on and other mods related to exhaust and tuning. Please consider delivering the products to India. The price of full system Akrapovic for V2 in India is quite high.
The problem is your customs processes.
It will only be forever a dream for 5'4 guys like me 😢
3:39 talks about how easy the fuel cap is to use; doesn't show it LOL
Press down, quarter turn, fill up, close cap and go.
@@Motomillion 👍🏿
If you are coming out to Austin for MotoGP let’s sync at Ducati of Austin.
For sure! How do we link up?
The V2 has to have more low-end torque than the V4R because being a 2-cylinder the pistons have a larger diameter and their stroke is longer than a V4R.
I just wish you had bought a Baylis. Looking forward to the RSV4 Factory though!
We can make it better than the Bayliss. Check out Jaret Campisi’s channel, he has a Bayliss build.
yeah super news ZX10RR please
Will try!!!

Definitely the best choice in this class.
Can I be your son too? 😢
Have you considered the MV Agusta F3?
I wonder if I can gut one of these n put a rotary on it… Kawasaki supercharger… ya know for a starter bike it’ll be even safer that way
Rotary on a superbike would be amazing
its a shame they cant sort out small details when it is such a nice bike, your paying a premium so all that little stuff shouldnt even be an issue....especially when they are already aware of it
The abundance of torque is tipycal of 2-cilinder bikes :) 1000cc v2 have always been torque monsters
Needs a 1299 engine 😈
11:11 did bro really just recommend a 150hp Ducati as a first bike 😭😭😭
Yes, you heard it right. The power has nothing to do with it. You want a light, nimble, easy to control and friendly bike. This checks all those boxes. A scooter is fast enough to get you in serious trouble if you are reckless with it.

Shell was the worst then came Chevron, Mobile was a little better the best was Flying A (they were discontinued) equal to that was Union 76 they still have a few stations in California. For Arizona where I live now is Valero. The best price is Sam club but they just use whatever is the least expensive gas. And Costco is owned by China. I have not owned a motorcycle for about 23 years my second wife (now deceased) would not let me own one. She was afraid I would get killed on one. Now it is just my daughter and I . I’m looking for a bike in a couple of years to supplement my joy of driving my 20 year old Corvette. God Bless.
Nice review Manny, however you talk in the video and in your description about a lighter bike whereas truth is that the V2 is 2kgs heavier than the V4S. Dry weight for both bikes. Both bikes have a 17L fuel tank. The V2 is 2 kgs heavier according to official Ducati website and the bikes owner's manuals.
Depends on what you are after. The V2 definitely feels lighter. Don’t forget Ducati’s weight ratings are always dry weight.
It's a 1 lb. difference between the V2 and V4S... 385 lbs. vs 384 lbs. for dry weight. 10 lb. difference for wet weight in favor of the V4S, though it has lots of carbon bits that make that possible.
Tire profile can also have an effect on the feeling of weight. The V2 probably has a much narrower rear tire.
no way you called it a small displacement bike. 955cc is not small
It does race against the 600cc supersports tho.
Ma man Miami Manny, how are you ma man merry Christmas, happy new year to you and your family.... Peace Amen!!
Thank you!!!
Can someone please advise on a rear stand? Which stand are you using in this video
no fuel gauge , forget it
For that price it should have no negatives. I'll take an R1
❤️
Hes riding 20 mile hour unreal
Thank you :)
Sounds like i am going for a japanese litre bike and avoid all of these issues
You do realize some of Ducati's fastest bikes are V2's right? The V4 has only been out since 2018. It's a matter of what the rider wants.Always remember a few killers are stalking around on mislabeled H2R ram airs , unrestricted.👍💀
City outskirts street test on an Italian sports bike?! What’s the point of that?! Sorry fella, don’t mean any disrespect, but the most irrelevant test I’ve ever viewed.
Reliable, they need an exhaust, tune, braided lines, 17rcs, suspension setup maybe callipers, the brakes are terrible.
Brake feel is terrible for sure, but can be fixed. It is a great starting platform, lots of aftermarket support!
"A baby small engine superbike..." what the hell this guys references is so weird, "a Ducati missing two cylinders...". For me as a sport bike rider since early 90s, a small size sportbike is a 400cc, middle size 600cc and big size is around 1000cc and up, also for me the typical and ultimate Ducati is and always was a 90 deg twin cylinder, nice Ducati still make them and I wish Aprilia kept the V-twins like the RSV Mille.
V twins have always been given extra CC allowance to compete against their inline 4 brothers. This bike competes against 600cc inline 4's. Also I believe this bike is in it's last year of production so you might see Ducati's next middleweight being a 600cc+ v4.
Does it still get hot by the thighs tho.
Im the first viewer ❤👍💫
Yes you are! Thank you!
The V2 is not a baby superbike
It is in our world.
@Motomillion in size or performance ? It's definitely not cheap in comparison to other manufacturers' bikes and also not an underpowered or slow bike
Agreed. What a strange thing to say 🤣
@@chriswest2290 he’s saying it because it’s not Japanese or American
For 21k no thanks. Rsv4 or s1000rr for that price
We've got an RSV4 and M1000RR on our channel, check out our videos on those!
Calling a 955cc sport bike a small displacement motorcycle is bonkers to me 🤣
This is the world we live in.
@@MotomillionNo, just the country my friend. Only Americans think 955 cc motorcycles are small and 120 hp 600ccs are slow. It’s an ego problem
Selling my 2022 with 2000 miles for 16k. In Chicago.
wanted to buy one so badly , after this review.... nope
Looks so much like the black CBR1000RRs
It does in color scheme.
955 is not a baby lol
It is baby besides it's big brothers!
Gift me this🎉❤
Sounds like a tractor :D
That is a nice sounding tractor.
Unbelievable they STILL have the same crappy mirrors....and damn I was SO hoping they would LOSE the heavy assed single sided swingarm! 15 extra pounds for a bling gimmick? Seriously? Is the market THAT ignorant?
Lets be honest people should not purchase full fairing 150+bhp sports bikes to ride around city streets. How full size sport bikes perform in town; stop light to stop light in 1st gear is really nonsensical (Heat, vibrations, mirrors, etc.) Same as taking any low displacement bike/scooter to the track and review it of course low displacement bikes can go around a track but not well so why ride or review one there? I still think the black on black V2 is the best looking Ducati in the showroom today.
I don’t think anyone buys a liter bike to only ride in the city.
Agreed so why review one in the city and not where you intend to ride it (what you bought it for)
@@Mrlogrecoso then where should he have reviewed it
It's pretty flat and straight in South Florida so you have a challenge for sure...where's the nearest road with lots of turns and you can ride fast enough to keep the V2 engine in it's powerband (RPM range) and keep it leaned over most of the time for riding comfort? What's the nearest racetrack to Miami@@Mr_everything10 . Then take out a Ducati Scrambler and review it around town where it belongs or get a Desert-X and review it off road...In short ride and review bikes for their intended designs and targeted use cases. If you want to review a good all-rounder then review a Ducati Multistrada and take that on and off-road, City/hwy with luggage etc. like it was designed for.
ps. Mirrors on sports bikes are an oxymoron, they are not on the bike at the track; nor is anyone racing up a canyon road above the speed limit on a sports bike thinking about shaky mirrors for their safety.
