Lovely review. This route looked so familiar to me. I used to take this exact route to go from Harston to Potton, certainly brings back memories 🙂.
Enjoy it while you can! I hope we'll continue to be allowed to ride our bikes now...
great review man! I am currently 70km into my new v2 and im loving it! ive had problems with other bikes like gsxr 600-1000 and r1-r6. where shoulders hurt and my wrists are falling asleep. but this v2 is so great! ive had a winter break and with my first trip i did not feel it in my shoulder or my wrists. and the power delivery is excellent! also loving the electronics! the only think i dislike with the panigale is the price for parts. i litereally have to sell my car to afford a new slip-on exhaust. its so overpriced!
Glad you are enjoying your V2 mate! Yes I agree the parts are expensive as I found out when I jazzed up my 1200 MonsterS 😜
PureGoProAction I'm surprised you had problems with the GIXXER 600 with your wrists, for me 6.2ft it's been the most comfortable sport bike I've owned.. I had the k7 Gixxer 600 yoshiR55 PC5 and in comparison to my 899 Pani it's light and day more comfortable as in the GIXXER being the most comfortable..
@@NoneNone-kp1qc honestly after writing this comment and driving the v2 for a while i changed my mind. my shoulder got sore again and the sitting position was acually pretty agressive on longer trips. the more i drove it the more i started to hate the bike. compared to other bikes it is the best looking bike ive ever seen. but it stops there. i changed out my v2 for a bmw s1000rr and that one was way better. it was fun, agressive and chill to ride. but when i was on a 12hour drive with my bmw, my back just killed me. im probably not made to have a sportsbike. so i migrated back to supermoto and stunting now. its way more fun but its been a great experience to have these nice bikes in my garage. hope you enjoy your bike :)
PureGoProAction creat comment mate... totally agree with the part they look good in the garage lol... in all fairness the longest all in one session ride I've done in the past 20 years is a trip to the Alps 6 years ago and bar a few trips to the TT and none of them were longer than 10 hour straits on the go... I'm 40 years young and there's no way I could last longer than 3 hours on a sports bike without falling to peaces... a good friend of mine traded his 2007 R1 in last year for a Harley bobba and has loved every second of it, I think I might by an old bandit and transform it in to a Caff racer instead of buying another bike that's pleasing to the eyes and terrible for the back.. all the best 👍
Great two part review thanks. Loving the reports on this bike. Would the used 1199S now be a better purchase or wasted for road riding only. Some good deals on them second hand now and I'm sure will only get better if this virus lockdown continues
bri sprott I wanted to ask the same thing. About to buy a v2 but feeling tempted by a 1299 used which is actually cheaper. I 100% prefer the v2 looks and it’s more than enough power for me, but would it be more bang for my buck to get a 1299? Annoyingly it’s not really possible to test both at the moment! I would hardly be tracking the bike, mostly road riding and even short commutes to work in nice weather
In warmer countries people complain about a hot seat. In cold countries (Like Norway where i live), we welcome the free inclusion of a heated seat :D
Absolutely lovely bike grant, I'm in France trust me it going to get much stricter in the uk
I know mate, going out on my bike tommorrow and tues whilst I can 👍
sounds great!
One of the best sounding standard exhaust pipes in the world 👍🏍💨
riding at 14 degress it's warm... ***laughs in australian oh winter*** hopefully picking up my v2 in April depending on this corvd-19, so excited after having a 959, the price point is so well done, with all the updated tech, really looking forward to owning a duc again. also got a carbon rear cowl from full six for $70 aud more than the ducati plastic one
done really well getting the Rear Cowl for that price. I am in Australia to and they are like A$360
@@pni089 in aus the 2 parts to the cowl are $620 aud at least for the v2
Hey mate I’m from aus too, how have you found the bike? Pros and cons?
I’m thinking of getting one but can’t decide between this and the bmw s1000rr 2022
"it's about 14 degrees....it's not hot, but it's warmish.."
lol, mate I'd be complaining about 14 being cold where I live. :)
Great review thanks! what’s the seating position (comfort) compared with your 959 you did mention that there was less pressure on your writs, I have a Supersport currently and was wondering how different it would be.
Hey buddy, feels a tiny bit taller than my old 959, and the seat is new, it’s comfy for a proper sports bike but nowhere near as comfy as a super sport 😜
Great review, thank you. I have been looking at one since they have been announced. I am still deciding between a BMW S1000RR (Red version, basic) Or this Panigale V2.
Obv I can only ever have one in my life time, but both bikes made fall in love with them on sight. Its a tough choice, both bikes are completely different.
I love the way the duc looks but I love the way the S1000RR sounds more.
Sigh haha.
Which one you gonna pick
Have the same dilemma!
Same dilemma too!!
you will use it most times for the street?
@@alexh4980 Yeah, that's the idea. I know, they are not the bikes for that, but the heart wants what the heart wants.
G-Man, see if you can get a ride on the Aprilia RSV4 RF 2017 onwards. The quick shifter on that is pretty smooth even at lower revs.
Aprilia makes great handling bikes. Does their quick shifter work below 2500 rpm? On my Panigale V4 only I read on the manual works above 2500 rpm.
HI
I HAVE DUCATI V2 , I'M STILL WAITING DUCATI DELIVERY BRAND NEW DUCATI V2 TO ME .
I NEED WAITING FEW DAYS .
THANKS
KURURU
G-Man, that’s a beautiful bike. I have a question, and I hope you can answer it. It’s not about the v2, but about the Ducati monster 821, and the Triumph Street Triple R. I don’t have any riding experience, and I’m looking to purchase my first bike. I’m a 5’4 Woman from the US. I was wondering if you think either of those bikes would be a good first bike? Especially with the different riding mods. I would also by frame sliders with either bike just to be safe. I’m not the type to go over road legal speed limits, but i also want a bike that I can grow into. I would really appreciate it if you responded to my question. Also I love the 1290 Duke.🙂
Hi Hun, great you want to get into biking, the 821 or the Street Triple would be great first bikes and not too big and you can keep them in the lower power modes till you get used to the power then progress to higher power when you feel more confident! Just need to check the seat heights but neither is a very tall bike, happy bike hunting x
G-MAN'S Bikes & Bits Thank you so much for replying! And both of the bikes have options for lower seat heights. I love all of your videos! And the same with you and your 1290 duke! Also, I wish you the best of health, especially with the COVID-19 Virus. Ride safe G-Man! 🙂💕
Street triple !! More bang for your dollar !!!
Yeah buddy I think so to, but do you think the triumph is a little twitchy in the middle? I’ve had someone tell me this, I just want to get your perspective. Also, you stay safe as well.🙂
Silver Star88 you’ll never know which suits you best or gives you more enjoyment to ride until you test ride them both . The triple would have more progressive power delivery and sharper handing. cheaper to service as well .
Only complaint about this review is you said since it’s broke in a bit you could get on the throttle and feel the power... and then you never even got high enough rpm’s to have a shift light come on. You short shifted 2 times when you could’ve just stayed in the gear you were in (2nd maybe?) and just let it get to redline and then back off. I generally test power by leaving the bike in first gear and going up to redline so I don’t go so fast I get a felony, (60mph/97kmh most first gears top out) and still feel the power.
Oh well not to worry, I’m sure theres other reviews of someone thrashing the shit out of it 👍
Nice review thanks for sharing.
As good as this bike is I've heard that it doesn't have anywhere near as much low end punch like the older Ducatis like the 1098 is this correct?
Never ridden an older DUCATI mate so not sure but it could be the case. It does have a sweet engine with plenty of power for the road 👍
@@GMANS_BIKES_CARS yeah that's good looks lovely too just I love the amount of bottom and midrange grunt the 1098 has and it gets angrier as the revs rise!👍
I’ve not ridden the V2 but I did a few rides on a 959 mid summer and man that thing just roasts your gonads, pretty much unbearable. I’d imagine in these temps it would be just right👍😎
You are right mate, I took my 959 to the Pyrenees and it was nearly unridable in 35degrees heat, still a great bike but in a really hot country I’d think twice 😬
Awesome review as always.... really torn between V2 or SDR 2020 . Will really appreciate your opinion mate 😊. Mostly ride around NYC and suburbs.
Hey buddy, for the type of riding you say you will be doing in my eyes there’s no question id go for the SDR as it’s better in every way, good luck with choosing, guess a test ride is the only way to find out, keep safe buddy! Cheers, G-man
G-MAN'S Bikes & Bits Thank you very much 😊😊
Nice job , Good Video , thank you sir.
Cheers Archie mate 👍
Another fantastic review my man. Awesome. I have ordered one, but still waiting for it to arrive. See if you can Do a review on the V4 Streetfighter😎🤙🇮🇹
Cheers Paul, Streetfighter coming to the dealer soon 👍
How were the mirrors??
have fun
It seems like the screen is hard to read in the day time can you confirm? Seen this on the R1 as well
The screen is as good as any out there mate, no problems with reflection or clarity 👍
I have a V4 not sure if its the same screen but I can see on mines during the day.
@@JMANmotovlog Thanks!
Thanks for the vid! Now you can buy a low mileage 959 with akra pipes for 8.5k, reckon it’s a smarter purchase than this for 15k? Is there that much difference to warrant the difference in £££? I feel the 959 is one of the least “attractive” of the panigale range and think this is reflective of the relatively good price for a immaculate 2nd hand model
Thats a great plan mate, the V2 feels identical to the 959, so fitting a new pipe to the 959 would be superb in the looks department 👍
Does your 959 have the comfort seat? They changed the seat on the V2 to be more like the comfort seat with just a little extra padding. On the other hand, I am wondering if the ergonomics have changed much. It would be good if there were more comparisons between V2 and the 959.
My old 969 had a normal seat and the V2 has a newer seat which is slightly thicker and wider and it is definitely more comfy 👍
Breaking performance?
Hey brother I’m trying to decide between this bike and the monster 1200s. You’ve had both so I’d love your thoughts on it! How do they compare and what do you recommend?
Hey mate, just commented on the monster vid 😜
Niiiice mate love it
Hey mate how do you find the mirrors? I find they vibrate a lot on mine almost not usable and also can’t get the adjust to have full visibility behind me, half of the mirror is covered with my body.. thoughts ? Do you have any tips on how to use the downshifted properly? I find it very jerky and ubrupt. (I’m on my run in period too, 126km in )
Yes mirrors are bad and I got rid of them, down shifts will get way smoother after 1000miles when engine is run in 😎
@@GMANS_BIKES_CARS thanks for that! What mirrors did you replace it with and are they much better ? Are you considering getting the exhaust upgrade if so to which one ?
Sold the bikes ages ago sorry
I tested ride 2 mile . The heat is hot . But 2 mile Didn’t enough to know for sure . . So can you tell me for long ride . Is the heat get unbearable ? Thanks
Hi Jimmy, when I was in Spain on my old 959 the heat did get pretty unbearable but it was 35degrees, the trick is to keep moving at speed to get the airflow going as slow ridden is even worse, all the Panigales get super hot under the seat, just depends if you can bare it or not 😬
Hello. I am deciding between v4s and v2. I know the price is huge difference cannot really compare. But my question is the main reason I am buying is for the auto suspension. Is it worth it to get the v4s vs the v2? I can afford it so it is not a worry of that. More of a worry of buying it for no reason. Thanks
The V4S has the best suspension on any bike I’ve ridden, but the V2 if you’re get it setup to your weight and riding style I think it would feel great too and you would be very happy I think, but if you can afford the V4 with it’s amazing power delivery it will be hard to resist 😜
G-MAN'S Bikes & Bits that is EXACTLY what I have concluded thus far lol. I am currently on a 2019 ninja so excited to upgrade. I have ridden supper sports and 959 before so will be glad to have one of my own soon. Appreciate the prompt reply
What mileage do you normally get ? As in how many km for a full tank ?
Don’t know as only test ride it 😬
Thanks for the review buddy, this or the SDR for you Gaz?
SDR all the way mate, especially as I have a dodgy back comfort is top of my list and the SDR ticks every box, I’m loving it 👍
@@GMANS_BIKES_CARS Which SDR are you guys talking about???, Is it the BMW S1000rr???
Think from memory the Super Duke R
@@GMANS_BIKES_CARS ohh thanks, i wanted to save my memory, so didnt used it, thanks for using yours!!!!
How does the power compare to the monster you had?
I’d say pretty similar mate, V2 maybe has more low end power 👍
Whats the difference between V2 and V4 in terms of their body size?
They are very similar, the V2 is a bit slimmer and has a smaller front fairing and fuel tank but the rear tail unit is the same on both bikes. 👍
G-MAN'S Bikes & Bits ohh no wonder. Alright cheers mate!
I like the comment “ riding in traffic” and then there isn’t a car to be seen in motion......? Nice one?
Can use for tourer?
You could I guess with some kreiga bags strapped to the rear seat and a rucksack but I would want to ride it like that 😜
Is it comfortable in the street?
It’s a comfy as any sports bike can get, but you are still in a very forward position so useable on the street but designed for the track 😬
G-MAN'S Bikes & Bits would it be suitable for in city riding in a hot city like Miami where it rarely goes below 30c
I think it would be a tad too hot for use in Miami mate, but I guess you will need to test ride one to find out for yourself 👍
Your new bike ????? 😝
I do love it but got back onto my new SDR afterwards and loved that 100times more 😜
