Correction to the comment about how you change the license plate angle: You cannot rotate the bracket, they give you one bracket that is angled downward and one that is angled upward.
I did a test ride of the 2022 V2 yesterday, and a few months ago, I did a test ride on a 959 from 2016. The difference was big in my opinion. Much smoother, and better throttle. Some people say it’s similar but I have to disagree ( in term of feeling at least ). The V2 in person is absolute grace. It was a warm day ( 26 degrees Celsius ), rode it for 40mn and got stuck in traffic, rode on the freeway so about the heat I got a way better idea than before. You notice it after about 15 mn of riding. It was alright to my taste and I wasn’t wearing leather. But yes, hotter than all the bikes I tested. The hottest bike I tried before was the Tuono V4, the panigale produces more heat. I don’t know how I would feel if riding on a hot day like +30 degrees Celsius. I’m based in Vancouver BC so this weather is kinda uncommon. I found the seat ok but could be better. The riding position? Well it’s a sport bike, doesn’t bother me at all, I felt comfortable. You can put your chest on the tank really naturally and when in the street, if squeezing the tank enough with your legs, your back and wrists will be fine. And I would like to mention that the tank shape is amazing to squeeze your legs against, I didn’t feel my legs were moving around. The stock sound was good, I wish it’s an inline 4 but… 😅. A V4 is too expensive to me. I’m part of the club thinking “ ride whatever bike that makes you happy “ but a panigale V4 might be happier on a track ( a panigale V2 as well but less power so a bit more suitable for the street). Some people though prefer the V4 for the street somehow, torque wise etc… well after all why not? A panigale is not a rational choice at all, plenty of better bikes for the street / canyons. A panigale is a choice you make with your heart. When you feel the vibe. Some people would say “ Go Tuono without a question “ and I can’t argue them at all. I just didn’t feel the magic on the Tuono despite the amazing engine and higher handlebars more suitable for touring / street. Anyway, enjoy guys !
You need to add a k&n air filter. Such a cheap and easy mod to add easy power but very noticeable torque. If you can afford an exhaust upgrade and just change one tooth, gonna have even more fun. I’m obsessed with the v2’s. I love my 2018 v4s and diavel 1260s but I want the v2. I went with a triumph speed triple 1200rs because I couldn’t get the street fighter at the time during the car and bike shortages. I’m currently selling or looking to straight up trade my 1200rs for the v2.
As far as downforce, they are 100% functional. As for visibility behind you, 7 out of 10. You can see back there but since they’re a lot slimmer than the OEM mirrors, you’re naturally going to see a bit less. I merge lanes a bunch and haven’t run into any issues detecting vehicles. Thanks for watching!
Interesting point re the kick stand. Great video man thank you; I receive mine in about 6 weeks! Stoked. Where did the fender delete kit come from? Love the mirrors too.
Thanks for the comment! I made a short about the fender eliminator kit here: Fender Delete for the 2023 Ducati Panigale V2 - Fulcrume Design th-cam.com/users/shortsvyIJpWQGVjo?feature=share
Ive got a V2. Test rode a V4 prior and wasn't a fan of the V4. I found it snappy and much more of an aggressive riding position for me. Just my personal preference if this sheds some light haha
I hear you, they all have their own personality & love to hear what motivates my fellow Duc lovers...Let's be honest, is there ever a bad choice when we're talking about Ducatis??? Ride in good health!@@Zekriax
@@512bb very well said ! It’s my first Ducati and I’m surprised at how many compliments and thumbs up it gets on the road haha. And much love brother, same goes ! Love from Australia
The fact you're from Australia, home of Troy Bayliss, my favorite Ducati champion of all time makes it so fitting that you're piloting a Ducati. It's not as though there aren't other nice bikes but Ducati's are just something so special. And to your point about people noticing, you are so right. I had moved my MH900e to my new house & it was sitting on the track stand, two women in their 80's waking by stoped just looking saying how beautiful the bike was, that was only the first of non stop comments I received. I guess I've become a bit jaded over the years, wondering what a non bike person notices on a Ducati that they don't on the others, you just gotta see it in the flesh I guess. All the best @@Zekriax
They aren't built into the stealth mirrors. Rizoma makes these www.rizoma.com/en/fr070.html?moto=11591&pm=true if you're interested in having front turn signals. I will install them soon
Correct, no fuel gauge. The dash will give you real time and average fuel consumption. I usually fuel up when the gas light comes on just to be safe. Have to be careful with overfilling too as to not flood the evap system with fuel.
Fundamentally still a 959. While not a single swing arm bike, the 959's rear shock and suspension reside in exactly the same place as the V2, so I don't think the V2 being a single has anything to do with that. Ultimately it's a shame that by now the V2 doesn't have the same look as the V4, much like the 959 looked identical to the then flagship Panigale 1299/Superleggeras. At least get rid of that horrible pillion seat as sold. Same goes for the Streeet Fighter V2.
Why would you engineer in a fail point with that kick stand? You don't need to improve something that has been working perfectly well on thousands of bikes for many decades.

Congrats!! Beautiful bike, and great mods!! would you mind sharing what license plate bracket you used?
Bro where did you buy that license plate holder?
This video seems very professional, this video deserves more recognition
I appreciate it!
Best walkaround video of V2 so far!!!
Thank you!!
Stuning bike. Those Rizoma mirrors are so cool, minimalistic and usefull. Cheers man.
I LOVE the sound of a desmo v2. I have a 98' 944 ducati vtwin and baby it still kills. If I ever get a v4 I would have to also have a v2 to be happy.
Love those mirrors, nice touch.
7:15 I like to call that photoshoot mode. It makes it so much easier for the camera to get the right exposure.

Thank you!
Yeah wow I just got one and I noticed the crf in the background, ha I've got a 2019 crf450l, good taste in bikes dude
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the new bike
Gorgeous machine! ❤🎉 Congrats!!

all i can say is, thats one beautiful machine.
Thank you!
That isn't a motorcycle. It is artwork. Too nice for any garage. I'd have it in the living room.
@VOIP Portland .. +1. Agreed, artwork!
Thank you both for watching! It is now in my living room for the brief texas winter :)
You should post links to where to find the parts you have put on
I have a mod video coming soon and will post all the links!
Nice Bike Also audio and video 👌🏿
Thank you! 💪🏽
Wish my Supersport had this engine
Slap a turbo on'er ;)

Thank you, I appreciate it!
one thing I'd do is paint that metal bronze exhaust part in black .. other than that it's an amazing piece of art🏴
+1... Many thanks. A very nice scooter indeed. . Subscribed.
I’m about to buy a used 2023. Any regrets with your bike?
Although they are very cool...how functional and user friendly have you found the mirrors to be?
As far as downforce, they are 100% functional.

Great video ! Planing to instal rizoma mirrors on mine too! Where are your front turn signals ? Did I miss them?
Thank you! I haven't installed my front turn signals yet, Rizoma makes a nice pair to go along with their mirrors.
@@broke4strokes which ones are you looking for if you don’t mind me asking ?
"In your living room" Damn.
Bro's talking to me 😭😭😭
I actually had mine in the living room for a couple weeks 😂 still too warm though it’s back in the garage

At time 4:49 ...That is a wild looking door way , I never seen one like that before, lol
I wonder if home depot has a door to fit it?
I absolutely enjoyed it🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for watching!
Great video mate.. Quick Question can this bike be manageable in terms of riding as a first bike or is it a bit too much ?? TIA
Easily manageable , just expensive if you don't have the experience with riding and parts won't be cheap if dropped etc
As a long time Ducati collector I'm a bit curious why you chose a V2 over the V4 varian, nice walk around.
That’s easy mate , $$$$$

Do you think the rizoma rearsets for v4r would fit to that?
Oh, Have you tried the Launch control on this? 😏
Bro where did you buy that license plate holder?
Very beautiful bike 😊
Thank you!!
♥️♥️♥️
Mine false neutrals at like 8 thousand rpm we still working out why it does it, I think I got a bad sync ring the bikes 3 months old.
That's odd, what's your throttle input like while downshifting?
Hello! Is there any update in this 2023 version compared to 2021/2022 model?
Not that I know of, same power output and same parts as the 2022 model. Just a new year 📆
@@broke4strokes mine has smoked out fluid reservoirs which I don't think 2020/2021 models had
Apakah footstep belakangnya dijual ?
How much was the out the door price?
Could you please tell me the price of this beauty?
About $16.5 US sticker price and about $21k out the door. Another $1,500 or so in accessories. Thanks for the comment!
can you manually turn the head lights on or off over having it set to auto ?
Yes, you can do so in the dashboard. There's a setting for automatic lights in there. Thanks for the comment!
I hate having a passenger and removing the rear pegs completely eliminate the possibility.
Exactly!
I have the v2 bayliss brother enjoy !
a beautiful bike
Thank you!
What about heating issue?
Are you planning to add new exhaust?
Not for a while, I’m pretty happy with how it sounds for now. Video never really seems to do it justice
@@broke4strokes agree, the ducatis sound pretty good with stock exhaust
nice
so no more front turn signal with the rizoma mirrors?
They aren't built into the stealth mirrors. Rizoma makes these www.rizoma.com/en/fr070.html?moto=11591&pm=true if you're interested in having front turn signals. I will install them soon
@0:22 that exactly what i did when i got my V2...
I can't imagine taking a passenger on a Panigale 🤣they'd have to be 3ft tall.
So is there really no fuel gauge on it?
Correct, no fuel gauge. The dash will give you real time and average fuel consumption. I usually fuel up when the gas light comes on just to be safe. Have to be careful with overfilling too as to not flood the evap system with fuel.

This bike has no frame. Literally everything on it is somehow bolted directly to the engine.
