I did a ECU flash on my V2. Not only does it make more HP. Fan comes on at 199F. Rev limit is set to 12k. And 100% throttle response. SLR Tunning. Best tune on the market.
Dude, I have that exact same bike. You mention race mode needed to be more robust. You never even took it over 8k RPM. That bike changes to a whole other beast past 8k. Your review is irrelevant to a degree. If you're going to give a review, then take the bike to the limit before you give obsolete judgment. Also, FYI, its ridiculously easy to change the modes from Street to Sport to Race. Plenty of videos out there for you to gain a little knowledge on how to do that. BTW, do some research before making videos, that's a stock rear shock made by Sachs. As another guy mentioned in the comments, it says Racing EVO because that is an up map supplied when the exhaust is swapped out. All and all, I'm really happy you are able to ride at 56, It shows a lot about your love for bikes. Ride safe and take care.
Definitely a great plug for Josh Herrin. Hoping he wins the Daytona 200 here in just a few days. He really loves his new bike and the new team, he is definitely allot happier and i think that will show in his race results as well, thanks for the review.
I rode a Ducati SuperSport prior to migrating to a Multistrada 1260 S. It was great for twisties and sport touring. I did several 5 day 2500 rides with it. The only thing lacking was cruise control. As good as the SuperSort was in the twisties, I prefer the Multistrada. I didn't like the big handlebars initially, but started to realize that you barely have to push them to countersteer. I also felt more comfortable leaning the Multistrada further than the SuperSport. I just rode a V4 Streetfighter and had the same feeing about preferring the Multistrada.
Hey, man. Great video. I love the audio quality. The yellow shock in the back is stock. I don't know why they make them yellow. The reason the display said "RACING EVO" is because someone performed an ECU flash on the bike, likely because of the slip-on Arrow exhaust. Normally there is no text that shows on the display when the battery power is switched on. It's also likely that the ECU flash was done by the BrenTuning company, as Ducati dealerships only perform ECU flashes on Panigales when the customer purchases the Akrapovič exhaust. Since an ECU flash was performed on the bike in your video, that means that bike was making at least 160 hp at the crank.
Your riding it way too low down the rev range. The bike is far happier if you keep it up where the Revs go orange in each gear on the lower band at which point it pull more cleanly and smoothly, vibrates less and also gives you better power. Spent 3.5 hours on a 2022 V2 Panigale last Saturday and the thing is a weapon on the twisties! Was travelling around bends 20 mph faster than I was on my own CBR650R! It is pretty wristy and I knew about it by the end of the day which had an hour on my CBR to the dealer and another hour back but it wasn’t crippling! Back was fine! I am 57 BTW so no spring chicken !
I would be very interested in a review by you of the Aprilia Tuono V4. You're a real sensible dude and I would trust your opinions over others. I'm looking to buy one in the spring.
Great to get a review by an older guy. I'm 47 and contemplating the V2. I'm a bit concerned about the riding position as I get older, but the V2 seems okay. I live in a city with plenty of twisties, so the V2 could be perfect.
@Scott Gilmour I did end up ordering the V2 Bayliss 20th Anniversary edition last July and have only just been told by my dealer it has arrived. I probably pick it up in a week or two after they've uncrated it, registered it, etc.
@Scott Gilmour yes I'm really excited. I lost a lot of excitement as I've waited almost 10 months for it, but when they told me it was here at the dealers, I went in and saw 4 of them... of course mine was the only one still in the crate 🙄... but it got me excited again. I'll let you know how I go.
Ducati should have just made on bike and called it the SS. Option 1 is the Penagali Kit (low bars and controls). Same engine 150 hp. The SS with this engine would have been the hot ticket for the young and restless.
Brother, a fellow south Florida rider here. Is the v2 as hot as they say it is?? You think for these south Fl roads it would be too much? Thanks for your videos man. I’m loving your input. Not many south Fl rider vloggers out here so I appreciate your take 💪🏽
it is definitely a hot bike to ride but I would take this over the V4 for sure. There is no need for the V4 power and for the money, the V2 is a better option.
@@RemboUSMC I’m not sure if you’ve ridden a monster 1200s. That was my last bike before I got it stolen. If you have, I wonder how you think they compare. I know it’s a bit apples to oranges but that’s what I’m working with. If my local Ducati had one in stock, I’d test one out myself but they’re all out and my only options are some locally sold ones
How bout that heat in the nether regions tho? I too live in Florida though central not south and this is what I am contemplating buying in a few months though the known hot running is giving me some due caution cause I do not want to be beholden to how hot it is outside to dictate my riding habits. I’m guessing it’s quite manageable because if it wasn’t then Ducati would never sell a bike in Florida but here we are. Love what I’ve seen of your content so far btw.
Its what the Super Sport should have been. Just the engine, the seating position and bars of the SS are just fine. 150 HP is the norm in that size for a sport bike.
That extra V2 power is found at higher RPMs, not usually seen on the streets. The V2 riding position is a torture rack compared to the SS. Unless you do multiple track days, the SS makes more sense.
i was all ready to hear big throaty sound from this much talked about bike and i was thoroughly disappointed, my old 95 900cr with stock engine and D&D carbon exhaust sound better than this thing at idle and at speed. with its expensive akropovick exhaust, who is he kidding.
It has an arrow exhaust and it’s the cheapest you can get fort the V2. Also you probably listening on your phone or through cheap earphones. I say hear it in person. The engine also has a lot to do with the sound. You can’t expect completely different engines sound like each other.
Do you think Josh Herrin is lucky because I am now too old to compete in Moto America?
😂
Too funny! This came up as a recommended video for my father in law. Too funny! Thanks for the mention!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude! How cool is that! Josh Herrin replied to your video. That's so awesome!
Josh how much would I have to pay you to help me tighten up on track? 😂

Does it help with the heat ?
Has to be one of the BEST looking bikes made.
Agree
Not the same engine, SuperSport uses the Testastretta 937cc engine, the V2’s engine is the SuperQuadro
Agree, same basic size, two different engines.

The panigale v2 is a fantastic bike ! Looks amazing 🤌🏻
It really is!

This bikes power range is from 8K to 12K. Once you get passed 8K RPM it feels like a different beast.

Im nearly 60 and I dream of a pani V2 (in bianco rosso) ....great video!
It’s a gorgeous bike
To change out of race mode (when stationary, or when riding) you need to hold down the indicator button :)
Thanks. I actually figured that out after I finished with the video. It’s not like the multi-Strada system at all

Excellent information. Thank you for sharing with everyone. I appreciate you taking the time to fill in the gaps.
@@RemboUSMC You're welcome, man. Also, I'm glad you're okay from that crash. That was crazy.

Loved the metric comment, subscribed! (also, recently thinking about it, I realised metric is based around water and its properties, very clever!).
Still riding my v2 and I am 72 and not giving up anytime
Keep it up Andy!

Thank you and safe riding out there. Along with comfortable riding of course....
Im 46, did you get the V2? 👍🏻
I’m looking for one next month
@Scott Gilmour I did end up ordering the V2 Bayliss 20th Anniversary edition last July and have only just been told by my dealer it has arrived. I probably pick it up in a week or two after they've uncrated it, registered it, etc.
@@funcool32 Wow! How excited you must be feeling. Let me know how you go. Good luck, I’m so jealous 😂👍🏻

Semper Fi, brother!
Always!
Man your review is so good, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Just picked up a v2 from Ian and Lucas great guys over there

The extra HP is only found at high RPMs, not easily done on the street.
You're in Florida and bought a V2? The Supersport makes much more sense on your straight roads and ambient heat.
I did not buy the motorcycle. I reviewed it.

Thank you very much and I hope you’re keeping cool during this insanely hot summer we are having.
Did you ever get the cruze control going on your bike by the way?
I used the dynamic cruise control on my way up here today on 95 N.
Josh your Name is all i see when I'm on social media, did you ever think that switching to Ducati would be so great for your career?
How is it that a 950cc bike is competing in the supersport class?
Supersport, not Superbike
Because it's a twin, which can't rev nearly as high as a triple or four cylinder. RPMs= HP.
You need to do some research buddy, completely different engine, in the supersport, and the v2 panigale
Very different. Both desmo V-Twins with one bored out more but definitely different.
Rembo sir 💯🔥
Did you test drive it or test rode it?
LOL both
Sarasota?
No, south Florida on the east coast.
I usually place a small flat bag of ice in my pant to cool off my butt when riding the V2
You would definitely need that in Florida.
My dupa is burning 😂😂😂 thanks for that one✌🏽
moja dupa nigdy nie jest gorąca na Multistradzie
No clutch

Herrin is a beast and a monster. About to win motoamerica on a v4r this season too! Live free!
This comment aged perfectly. Herrin picked up the #1 plate for next season today!
Love your intro
LOl thanks.
