Camera angle was a bit off on this one, that’s my fault. (It’s been addressed for future episodes.) We almost scrapped the episode but opted to keep it. Thanks for bearing with us!
LOL - while watching, I kept tilting my head back (like riding with an adventure helmet with the peak adjusted too low).
Sorry brother I can't watch it. Pull the video...
I miss the sound of my Monster 696, I say keep the video for the sound
Nitpicking, but did you install your screen protector upside down on your cellphone? lol
hardly noticed
no biggie, Zacho 👲
No worries mate.
Dear RevZilla, give Zack and Ari whatever they want. Send them everywhere they want to go. Let them work on whatever project they want. Keep them as happy as possible. It's all gold. I care more about them than I do about any other RUclips characters.
Thank you.
@Sonny I hate that guy, absolutely no respect for what he has. One of the worst channels on RUclips
They should totally start their own channel if they aren't at least part owners.
@@sonny9608...... excellent!
preach. After watching the Wyoming episode I have so much respect for those dudes. Also the production quality is fire. Their content is all amazing.
you're edgeing into wife territory there Cody. Just saying......
The heated seat is not an option.
It comes standard. 🔥🔥
🤨 WHOT ? ! Oh, that's very nice, specially for that kind of dough.
Perfect for UK.
@@GIGABACHI satire my friend 😃
that exhaust will fry your ass in the summer
Yup standard and only one power setting, ON. Shouldn't really talk like I know exactly - I rode a V4s (not a V2) on a cold night and was loving it. V2 might be the better choice on a hot day.
If you’ve read about any of the modern Ducatis they all have they natural option.
It really is a hell of a good looking bike.
In these kinda conditions it is so obvious how good of a rider Zack really is!
Doesn't matter wet or dry, he still delivers the same program.
Awesome bro!
We're waiting on that zx4rr review Zack!
Fair review! Thumbs up.
I owe this bike for a year now and you describe perfectly what it is. I’ve ridden it for 5 to 10-hour straight trips on mountain and countryside roads, I’ve ridden it on track, a bit in the city (which this bike simply hates), I’ve ridden it with and without passenger… and I’ve come to the same conclusions as you.
I bought it just a couple of months after it was announced and there were not many reviews online. So when taking the decision to buy, I had to trust a couple of bike-magazine journalists’ reviews from a press day on YT, what Ducati said about its bike (the PR type of texts and descriptions which fortunately weren’t just press promotion, but turned out faithful to reality), + a couple of test rides I did myself.
I personally thank you for your objective review and answers to the q&a section. This review does justice to what this bike is! ❤
The left side of the tracks are a GREAT option compared to the lake on the right side.
SOME ONE PARKED IN OUR SPOT! Grumble..grumble. Awesome!
Since I moved from the PNW to SoCal 12 years ago, the rain in fact does slow me down 😀 having implemented the “no rain gear rule”.
Those mirrors look exactly the same as the original 1098 version ... with same issues. If they are buzzing you can tighten the bolts connecting them to the handle bars. The RHS mirror uses a reverse thread.
Great to see a rainy ride.... I was beginning to think it never rains in California. .
Just brilliant, thanks gor the real world view. Always great communication for the feel of a machine.
For 18k not having a fuel guage is almost a deal breaker. Yeah I can guesstimate or open the tank and look, but having a monitor (even though they're very picky depending on how much the bike is leaning) is huge when getting an idea on when I should expect to stop and fill up. I know it's such a little thing, but for the price range and the pedigree that comes with the brand I feel like it's a huge miss
It’s not an oversight. My 748 and 900SS don’t have fuel gauges either. It’s a Ducati thing.
Trip meters are included and have worked for years on all types of motorcycles regardless of the tank shape.
Even if it had one, it will go tits up in about 10K miles, so you actually might be saving time/money by not having it if it fails outside the warranty window lol Ducati's fuel sensor is notorious for its failure rate.
You're not crossing the Serengeti with these things. I just ride my bike, and when the light comes on and the km count starts (Kanukistani here), I try to pull in to a station before I hit 30 or 35 klicks. One less thing to be checking and worrying about, frankly. As someone else said, it's kind of a Ducati thing, an Italian shrug on the whole issue.
@@ferociousfrankie yup my Ducati fuel sensor died during warranty. If it died again I don’t think I’d bother to replace it, it cries for gas 3.5 gallons into a 5 gallon tank.
I was fortunate enough to get to test ride one for a couple of sessions at the Ridge Motorsports Park up in Shelton last year. Phenomenal machine.
The puddle portion of the ride just stresses me out, thank you for finding a little dirt! If you have something more offroad friendly make a try at the puddle side, but be kind to the nice bikes. You don't take the little bikes on highway, so a detour for street bikes is acceptable if the dirt road is in lake mode.
100% agree. I see the value in the 'dirt road section' to tell us whether one should route around a dirt road or not but when it's a mud-bogging section i'm not sure it's worth doing other than for the entertainment factor. But maybe it's worth it for the entertainment alone.
Another thing about the V2 - if you do your own valve check maintenance the V2 is way easier.
Sweet bike, Zack! Really making me miss riding. Spent many fun miles riding Mulholland and the numerous surrounding canyon roads. The vibration of the motor, the feel of wind, the smell of the sagebrush in the canyons...man, good times!
Why did you stop?
@@Different-Level Work got busy and the bike was mostly sitting in the garage. Got married and used the cash from the sale to pay for the reception. Wife was OK with keeping it (and rode along with me), but I decided to give it up. Besides that, LA drivers were trying to take me out!
Always love these! GoPro was a bit low on this one though.
I second this one.
Maybe due to Gopro waterproof cover.
@@jonamthapa8210 Nah all new GoPros are waterproof unless you dive below 30' or so.
Certainly was, that’s on me. Fixed for upcoming episodes, promise 😬
@@zackcourts2280 Hope it came across as constructive criticism. Always look forward to the Daily Riders.
Great review, have a sfv2 and a t700 in my garage😉😃 love them both
Watching this vid makes me want to jump on my SFV4 right now. lol Nice review Zack. Hope to see you at a track day sometime.
I really appreciate your Daily Rides. And Ari's antics with you.
"when do we stop with this" lol dirt section, thanks for not scrapping this video!
Great review. Could you please do some traffic filtering while you ride these (somewhat wider) bikes so we could get a feel of how easy/hard it is. Thanks.
I marvel at your commitment, on the dirt bike road! Any bike, any weather, anytime. Top marks! 👍🏻
First time seeing your channel. Absolutely loved this video!
I was just thinking that I have never seen you stall a bike. I stall on occasion and especially when I am riding a new bike, but you seem to have it down. Then you stalled. Made me feel a lot better
LMAO - Made the wife chuckle when you were comparing the SV650... I said out loud "But would you RECOMMEND it?" right before you went there lmao - love it, man!
Very nice to watch as always Zak..... I actually FF when you went for the mud..........😆
Appreciation comment for that sponsor logo on the wall that looks really cool
A corvette and a Ferrari are both sports cars. They both accomplish the same thing. There is a difference. Even if blindfolded you can tell the difference. Same with Ducati vs a MT09 etc. Do you need a Ferrari no. But if you have the money yes. Some people just want dependable transportation no drama. Some people want an adventure. They are excited about tomorrow’s adventure. This is a bike you enjoy looking at as much as riding. Moving work of art. Very exclusive like a fine bottle of wine.
Good way to start a Saturday!!!!
Great review!
Such an awesome bike, love mine. The stock exhaust sounds great in person, no need for an after market exhaust ✌🏽
Agreed there Craig. The induction roar beneath the tank is much nicer than a booming exhaust.
Look at that rain. Good for you LA, our southern sister. Truthfully I just dab at videos like this because I know I will never spend this much on a bike. I'm guessing it starts at like $20K or something?
Keep ‘em coming
After top gear and grand tour, u guys have most funny touring videos.
Suggestion! I watch all of your uploads and enjoy all of them, I just wish you adjust your camera more toward the road., I dont really care about the fuel cap but enjoy seeing where I'm heading!
I currently own 3 Beemers. A 2000 R 1150 GS , a 2001 K1200 RS and a 2016 S1000R, plus an ‘05 Suzuki Hayabusa. I been riding for 60 years and every time you take one of the high dollar bikes down the mucky railroad tracks it freaks me out😂 !
How about a Daily rider review of the 2022-23 Suzuki GSX-750 no abs? Love the show, keep up the great work.
Hay!! Just the snow piles off the north roof left here in Vermont and some ice on the pond. A few more details on the '99 SV 650 and this week will be dry. My problem with the Duc as a daily ride to work is I'd just never make it to work. My life expectancy would also be cut in half. OTOH ...... I'm retired and I could sell some land .......................................................................... but that would be bad timing.
I love how Ducati still does not give street bike a fuel gauge indicator on the screen in 2023..
I hate it!! Makes 0 sense
What is the problem? Just use the trip meter
@@noudgoertz why not have both? Like any modern bike nowadays. And it takes 0.1 sec to realize how much fuel left by looking and the gauge. Also, if you driving like crazy vs pure highway, the trip meter is not the same
Gas gauges on a bike are notoriously inaccurate. The tanks are irregular shapes & the volume is often
If you saw the shape of the fuel tank, you would understand why there is no fuel gauge. A fuel gauge isn't just something on a dash, it's a literal float gauge in the tank. No one has developed a fuel gauge that can fit/read in these fuel tanks or on Panigale V4/SFV4 and Hyper 950.
Hey Zack, love your videos and content, thanks! Any chance you could do a review of Ducati Hypermotard 950 SP? Thanks in advance. 👍
I love these videos.
I owned a 1098 streetfighter and can definitely relate to the crotch reference you said, lolol. Good times, definitely most rowdy machine ive ridden
One way to think about which is best, consider which one you would want in your garage a year or two down the road? V2 for certain...
to me it seems like a mini tuono, great bike if you're a 50/50 rider (street and track) but for pure street use, id still get the monster, or a hypermotard before the streetfighter V2.
Please review the new Diavel V4 as soon as you can, I can't wait for your video on it.
I remember a video you guys made, it was about old GSX-R 1000 VS New Panigale. Where the Panigale could not keep up :p
The cam angle is not as bad as Zack's upside down phone screen protector, that tingles me. LOL
That’s a bad ass bike. Ill keep my street triple for a few years and then it’ll be this or the Tuono.
Sexy bike reminiscent of my first gen Aprillia tuono V-2. It seemed great “on paper”, but sucked at track days, had limited range, (28 mpg when pushed) & was uncomfortable as hell on the street. It looked cool though.
Please test the Kawi z900RS. I would love to see what you think of that bike!
Zach how is the wind on the highway having no windscreen. Love the looks and power of the bike.
"I like road. Road's my favorite." - Zack Courts
I think your comment on why it doesn't get the smile emoji is why I haven't felt *desire* for any of the modern Ducati lineup. I don't want a bike with super impressive numbers (including price) just to say I have a bike with those numbers. I would rather figure out how to adapt my riding to an interesting bike than bend a bike to my will with a bunch of electronics. That's why I love my SF848 (which cost me less than a new SV650 by the way 😄 and even the stock exhaust sounds great) and am looking towards a 1198S or S4RS as my next bike (to add to the stable, not replace anything) versus a new SF or Panigale.
The new bikes are incredible pieces of technology and I'm glad they exist, and they *absolutely* make sense if you need a bike that can serve multiple purposes and don't mind paying a premium for dealer services. They definitely have more appeal for track jocks than garage tinkerers, though.
Hey Zack love the series. Can you do the Diavel or xDiavel?
Pretty neat looking.
Zack please add a comment on headlights! We want a headlight performance rundown
Sticking to my Tuono V4 1100
For a weekend rider like me, I would own this bike no questions asked. People don't get it until they own one. The Italians know how to make visceral machines.
Nice bike. What’s the mirror fix? Bar ends?
Zach pls tell me you have footage of you and Ari riding on that streetfighter, we need to see it 😂
He mentions the different tune will not effect your daily ride, but in all actuality it fully relates to that daily ride. The lower rev higher low end torque is much better for daily driving around town use in the streetfighter, than the Panigale, who is tuned for the top end, higher horsepower "screamer" Super Sport "hyper" bike scene. Granted both have more than enough, the point is one is designed and tuned more for one situation than the other.
Awesome bike to ride. How does it compare to Street Tripllr RS?
Looks gnarly.
Always love your reviews and I’m not really in the market for this particular bike but Great review as always. Love how you stay true to the “Daily Rider” format and describe what’s it’s like to live with this bike in a real world environment. Keep up the great work.
there are two series i'd like you and ari to to do...
gymkana in japan
and
the best daily rider bike - wheelie edition
I like it A-LOT! 🤟😎
Ohhhhhh. What a bike ❤❤
Might be cool to see a track day comparo with some sticky tires against a standard Tuono or S1000R, or S1000XR with cheap, raised footpegs for that matter.
That last part got a bit specific, but against a relatively expensive for a track bike yet super cool option as the SV2 is, it would be great to see it fulfill its purpose in some ways and see how it "measures" against what could be a variety of cool others.
Just when I was about to do the dishes, you go ahead and upload this! Guess dishes will have to wait for another 37 minutes.
Do the dishes while watching it like a true legend
Tough job guy! 😆😍
Enjoyed that. The V2 for me makes more sense than the V4 mind you are we here to be sensible 😊
@RevZilla
This was a good video, I’d like to see a comparison of the Ducati street fighter, the supersport and the Daytona 660 but from the perspective of a passenger. There are no videos on this that I can find and I want to pick a bike for scooting around town that is also the most comfortable out of the three for an occasional date ride for my wife. From the little info out there that I have found it seems as if the Ducati supersport is the best of the three but a side by comparison would be really helpful.
That's a spicy meatballa!
🎉❤great video
Beautiful bike as always Ducati knows how to make a pretty bike, too bad the price xD
Hey! How about adding a cool 😎 emoji for the daily rider board, it would suggest that the bike is desirable and pretty good looking, like this Ducati streetfighter V2.
Is there a video for the Panigale V2 review mentioned at 5:38? I can't seem to find it. Thanks!
best looking Ducati
I like the idea of this bike, a lot! I think I still like the SuperSport better though!
By the time you go for the super sport you’re getting pretty close to a ninja 1000 and not having to worry about it blowing up on you nearly as often.
Love mine ❤
@ghostontwowheels 29:39 with the solid question.
Yeah, I think Zack interpreted it a little off. I wasn't questioning the Ducati being a better bike performance-wise, because clearly it is... but more of is it worth paying all the money for it as a Daily Rider; commuting, around town, etc. I mean, the series is "Daily Rider", not "Track Rider"... ha! But, cool that my question got picked up.
I have a V2 Pani as a dedicated track bike, and my daily ride for the street is the new Monster SP. I prefer the Testastreta 937 for the street, that the Monster and Supersport have. Call me old school but I’ll take the v2 and /or the 939 over the v4 any day
Almost a little scared to ride the Monster SP when they arrive here. I'm sure it would be better for most situations vs the SFV2.
@@danbloxham6133 totally. I owned a SF V4S at one point too. Too much for the street, and i am a very accomplished street and track rider. But the manageable torque and power make it the goldilocks Moto
Will you ever daily ride some not that old-old BMWs? Like the 650s or f800s, which I found to be great daily riders. The newer 850 and 750 doesn't seem that appealing yet.
Would it make sense to switch from a mt09 2022 to v2 for nyc daily riding ?
Watching the beginning: Don't tell me this beauty is getting slogged thru the mud tracks...dear God!
Your laugh is classic😂
Which jacket is that? It looks comfy.
Yes!
I wish you'd test a Diavel 1260s
I wonder if the Ducati Monster is a better daily. Perhaps more manageable at low RPM's and maybe better at wheelies?
I love that Ducati continues to try and do something different with their exhaust (made difficult because of EU regulations). It's such a MAJOR styling line. While not surprising, 18k is....18 bloody k.
That said, does anyone else think the front end looks like a mantis? Triumph takes the crown in this regard (speed triple bug-eyed design) but, that low slope, narrow-eyed look is not doing it for me. What happens if you get a GF/Wife on the back!? Screen looks great, btw. 15:44 speaks to the engineering of the bike. Great review!
She'll probably be contacting a divorce lawyer as she would on a sportsbike ;)
you come to stop at crazy speed for stop sign challenge. that's not fair. NOT FAIR I TELL YA!
It works
I love my SF V2. Perfect pairing with my Multistrada 1200S. The mirrors do suck, and the lack of a fuel gauge is lame. Otherwise, it’s an awesome bike. And yes, it’s fast enough to have fun on track. I’m a former expert-level racer (quite a few years ago…but I can still squeeze into my leathers).
The nice thing about having an sf v2 to pair with a Multi 1200s is you can ride it while the multi engine is being rebuilt.
@@aluisious 😅
@@aluisious😂😂
Zack, any thoughts on doing a Daily Ride on a Buell XB12? Obviously it'd be a used bike, but I keep debating an XB12SS for a daily hooligan commuter...
After my ex wife and I lived with our own Buell's, I would never touch one ever again.
i think the best commuting ducati bike is the Hyper950, it's fun, it's light weight, and it's NOT HOT in temperature!
I think this is the most direct descendant of the first gen Monster 900. They just need to shave the unibrow and work a big round headlight into that cowl.
