Hey there! Great video BTW, I just found your channel! I love both the classic wet and dry clutch Monsters, but there's a road and a track (time and place) for both. The dry clutch of the V4 is soooo Ducati...but like my M620, the V2 would just be more fun for regular riding.
Depends what you're moving from. I've had a 959 Panigale since 2017 and about to jump to the Street Fighter V4S. The V2, apart from the missing panels and straight handle bars (edit: and single sided swing arm), looks identical to the 959. Was thinking about getting the under-seat Akrapovičs but that's another £6K! So maybe not! Shame because they look bad ass + I have the under belly Akrapovičs on my 959 which sound amazing. Great video bud.
Personally like the V2. Seems like more useable power. Don’t need 200 hp. Also the 10k less it’s more affordable than the v4. Wouldn’t be doing much track days so for me the v4 is just too much bike for me
I have 6000 miles on my 2022 sfv2. I love it! Removed rear pegs and tail, put integrated taillight turn signals and a cool Cowell. Handles and excelerates...better than sex!
Enjoy. I have had mine for a tad over a month. It keeps getting better as it breaks in. I've adjusted bar and controls as well as suspension settings. I am no longer questioning the purchase.
It’s true! Bought my bike new and it was a bit clunky and after 300 miles it’s so smooth and buttery and the quick shifter is sooo smooth. I’m sure it’ll get even better!
Got mine in the storm green this passed Saturday. Loving it so far! I got this because I originally wanted the panigale but green is one of my favorite colors and it’s ridiculously comfy for just about everything I want to do on a street bike
@@RemboUSMC it’s pretty nifty for moving around town. Wish Orlando had as empty streets as your videos do in Pompano area. Still it’s so precise and easy to move through I4 traffic it makes commuting relatively easy to get from home to office so far. Have to get those break in miles done so I can really rev her out. Can’t wait for that. There are also aftermarket windscreens available (which I intend to buy at some point) to make some moderate longer distances viable. I wouldn’t go cross country necessarily on it but planning a trip up to Atlanta area for next year with it. 5-6 hours with a few stops for bike food and human fuel should make it pretty feasible as I travel light by nature anyways. To be perfectly honest it’s probably my dream bike. I feel like it fits me darn near perfectly. I’m 5’10” and approx 220 so I need to lose a few pounds but the ergos are spot on. I have appreciated having a seat warmer in these last few cool and rainy days in central Florida; we’ll see how that changes next summer. The only things I know for sure I want to do to it are get some bar end mirrors (the stock ones are just about useless for me as they just like to showcase my elbows or shoulders) a tail tidy and maybe carbon wrap the silver plastic pieces on the radiator on the fuselage/frame. Radiator guards are on order from Evo tech already as they are more or less a requirement on a bike whose entire front end is radiator essentially. But other than that all I want to do for now is ride ride and ride.
Actually went from a Diavel 1260 to a Storm Green V2, wanted something sportier and color sold me as son as they unveiled it. Thought I’d miss the grunt of the Diavel(I’ve had both original Diavel and a 1260 one), but was pleasantly surprised, can’t get a enough of this thing.
V2 more usable bike. I’d take the V2 vs V4 too. The wind blast and being 50 keeps me in the Supersport camp. I had a Street Triple and my shoulders couldn’t take more than ~ 2.5 hrs. of riding.
I've got the ducati streetfighter 848 2014 and I am considering the v2 but I don't know if it's that much different for the extra cost. I've been riding for 30 years now so I'm a bit calmer on the street than I was before. I've had all the big sports bikes back in the day so I think the 848 is plenty. Great video thanks
The torque at your rear tire is determined by your gear selection. 1st gear provides a lot, but little speed. 6th gear provides a little, but a lot of speed. You want torque to pull the wheel up, downshift, or buy a bigger rear sprocket. Bike sounds great. I dug that yellow Scrambler you went by at the end in the shop. A bumblebee paint job with that Ferrari yellow would be a good look for this one too.
I’d take a SF V2 over a SF V4, or any Pani variant. My SF 848 has been my ‘go to’ bike, while my others generally sit, because it’s so damn good and usable. I’d imagine the SF V2 just takes everything I love about the SF 848 and builds upon it. Lastly, I love the ‘middleweights’ and how I can actually tap into their power.
@@stuartlester7586 for me, that’s what makes it fun. My favorite bike ever was a 748S, because you had to wring it’s neck out to make any sort of progress. A 1098 is a torque monster, though, so I can see how the SF V2 would be underwhelming compared to what you’re used to riding.
What up fellow So-floridian... I bought my Aprilia from Ian, love them over there. I think it was sitting on the showroom floor when you go into that back door to the right =) Good video man, that bike does sound nice.
Weight reduction: -Tail eliminator -Chain guard delete -Rear wheel fairing delete -Bar end mirrors -Exhaust replacement Even a naked bike has weight to loose!!
Largest factor for weight loss on any bike after 2009 is exhaust....specifically the catalytic converter. This bike has about 26lbs of slung underbelly.
I’m in my first year of riding and have about 1000 miles on a hd street bob, do you think this bike will be ok for someone like me? I also stand at a staggering 5’8 so i know this will be a bit tall for me
The best thing for you to do would be to go to a dealer and sit on the bike and see how it feels to you. Your inseam and your comfort level with riding motorcycles will help determine the answer to your question. Coming from a Harley Davidson Street bob to a bike like this is like going from an old pick up truck to a Lamborghini.
It's not a big deal, really. The V4 can't have a fuel gauge because of its complicated tank shape. I mean, I'm sure it could, but it would be complicated. On the V2 I guess they just don't want to offer more features than on the V4.
I almost didn't buy this bike because of the lack of the fuel gage and lack of TPMS. After some thought, I rode without these things for 20yrs, so no biggie. I have only missed the tpms so far.
@Rembo USMC yeah hopefully he reply. I was thinking of getting the 2023 Streetfighter next year but ducati Valve clearance is quite steep especially it it is timing belt. Those ducati owners I spoke to says ducati that runs on timing Chain are slightly cheaper to maintain hence my question 😅
Personally, i like powerful bikes. I want to be scared of the bike. When i know the bike is powerful, i ride it with respect and gentle. While riding the 300cc bike i rode like an idiot and i crashed it.😢 So i'm thinking to go for the V4.
The storm green is a bizarre choice from Ducati. Completely washes the bike out. The Red looks so much better. I like the SF V2 a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if the Storm Green ones sit a bit and go for sticker. Maybe a little less if someone gets lucky. Red ones probably won't sit on the lot very long.
I like the storm green. Now, I’m not a Ducati rider; never was really interested in Ducati’s, but the storm green with the yellow shock drew me in. Now seeing the specs and quite a few videos, I’m sold on this bike. I do want to black out most of the parts other than the fairings though.
Unfortunately the new Yamaha nakeds are the ugliest bike to ever grace the earth. The streetfighter on the other hand is the best looking bike ever made.
It’s about a lot more than speed dude. The Ducati is absolutely beautiful, it’s exhaust sound is insane, handling is second to none, the electronics package is great, the up and down quick shifter and more. The Ducati is a way better buy
Nah, didn't even bother watching your video. I'm waiting for motojitsu's review. :) Anyway, I completely agree with you, the V4 scares the s**t out of me because it makes you feel so relaxed and in comfortable, making you let the guard down and luring you into a false sense of control. That being said, I'll still take the V4 (which I did) because it's just a bike that makes absolutely no sense, it's pure excess, and I love it for that. The SFV2 I don't get. I don't get who is it targeted towards. The new 937 Monster is more than enough for (the needs of) 99% of the people that look into buying a SFV2, and that 1% that could ride it at its full potential, would be better off stepping up to a base V4. The Panigale V2 makes sense instead of a V4 (I'm actually thinking of a V2 in the future), but the SFV2 doesn't.
I agree with you 100% , v2 panigale is more then enough, v4 is something insane, it’s hard to explain to people what is V4 , they won’t understand, I would choose too SF V4S over SF v2 , is more comfortable
I have no idea why people like Ducatis. Rode several recently and they’re just over priced for the offerings. Extremely Hot, no fuel gauge, front dash wobbles wildly under acceleration and not even an option to add cruise control just to name a few. Brought the new Triumph instead.

What’s the seat like? I’ve heard it tends to be pretty scant on comfort?
@fifthpint4571 not bad. But I immediately upgraded to the DP low. I like the cushion and texture better on the DP seat.
@@kyle1175243 fair enough, thanks!
Threw my leg over the V2 about two months ago, I wanted it immediately. I’ve the Monster 937+ now and the V2 seems like a step in the right direction.
It is a great bike. I love the V2. It makes more sense.
I own the v2, love every second I’m on it. Get it!
That color is beautiful in person. I love the damper placement too, reminds me of my old 959!
Got mine in the storm green this passed Saturday. Loving it so far!

Storm green is dope just needs some bronze wheels or something to make the black rims pop more
Damnnn this bike looks so good on that stealthy military green!! Holy shit
I know. It grew on me
The color reminds me of the Monster Diesel from 2012, minus the yellow calipers.
Actually went from a Diavel 1260 to a Storm Green V2, wanted something sportier and color sold me as son as they unveiled it. Thought I’d miss the grunt of the Diavel(I’ve had both original Diavel and a 1260 one), but was pleasantly surprised, can’t get a enough of this thing.

I still prefer the red bcos of "Ducati" hahaha but maaaaaan that color is so refreshing and looks so good!
Love the review!

@@RemboUSMC no the 21 V4 Tuono Factory sitting in the triumph section back there.
I guess you need to change the camera mounting position for Street bikes. Feels like Rembo is flying a hoverbike 😄
I would prefer the V2 Street Fighter because it has all the power I need for riding twisties, which wasn't mentioned.
Agree
Awesome bike with one exception, no fuel gauge? Why Ducati?
Might be for the better since they all fail lol
Finally, an American speaking English without an accent doing a review 🎉
Nice review Rembo
Thank you very much.
Love my red 2022
I agree with you, Ducati V2 engines are more friendly and usable than their big brothers V4, in addition, more torque at low rpm and the sound is 😍
Check the dyno graphs, the V4 makes more torque everywhere.

-Tail eliminator
-Chain guard delete
-Rear wheel fairing delete

sick color.
I like it too
Like a Ferrari, only your 1st will be red.
This green kicks A
Would you take this bike or the KTM 890 Duke R ?
I am having a warranty issue with KTM so I am not happy with them right now. Very disappointing. I am partial to the Ducati Streetfighter V2.

Big question is have they put a fuel gauge on this bike????✌🏽🤓
No fuel gauge
@@RemboUSMC how the hell can any petrol powered vehicle in 2022 have no petrol gauge 🤔😂
It's not a big deal, really.

i hope i dont die but i want the v2 for my first bike
Excellent video...£16k in the UK...but is the bike worth £16k....maybe...
That is still a lot of money.
A lot of money but the enjoyment of just owning it and talking to your mates on mt10 yeah I own a duc
Nice bike.
Yes, I really liked it.
Semper Fi Devil Dawg!
Hi!
Running on timing belt or timing Chain?
I'm going to guess timing belt. Key word is guess.
The superquadros have been using timing a chain since introduced in 2012.
@Kyle Dean so it's timing Chain not belting you're saying?
@@khairirais Hopefully he answers. The photos I took of the inside of the V4 GrandTurismo was chain but I can't speak for the V2 in the Streetfighter.
@Rembo USMC yeah hopefully he reply. I was thinking of getting the 2023 Streetfighter next year but ducati Valve clearance is quite steep especially it it is timing belt. Those ducati owners I spoke to says ducati that runs on timing Chain are slightly cheaper to maintain hence my question 😅
Sexy bike. Good choice.
I'll take a V2 when they do one in charcoal grey.
V2 is a better daily but saying that I’ve just ordered the new 2023 streetfighter V4s to add to my Ducati family 😂
Best decision ever 👏👏👏 with the new updates I think I rather spend a little more and get the v4
No cc and no fuel gage on 2022... come on Ducati... i want a sfv2s
v2s will still have no fuel gage. trust me
Personally, i like powerful bikes. I want to be scared of the bike. When i know the bike is powerful, i ride it with respect and gentle. While riding the 300cc bike i rode like an idiot and i crashed it.😢
So i'm thinking to go for the V4.
Lmaoo. I get what ur saying but eventually u will get use to this n wild out too. I am the same way.
Nah, you've gotta be very careful with whatever bike you are on, even if you do get a V4.
Vroom vroom.
5 foot 11 inches and 3 quarters
LOL, 1/4" taller than I was (past tense)

A Yamaha MT10 would be a better buy, on paper they pretty much equal until you hit a 100 miles an hour.
