Five Things I Do & Don't Like About My Ducati Streetfighter V2
I think that I've had my Streetfighter just long enough to justify putting out this video.
So far I'm enjoying the experience. Although if I haven't ridden it for a while it's quite daunting to get back on it again. Especially if I've been running around on my little Svartpilen.
The extra weight becomes very noticeable hopping between those two bikes... and so does the extra speed! It's way too easy to be cruising at speeds which the Svartpilen has to really work for.
Hope that you enjoy this video for what it is. And remember to comment, like and subscribe!

I test ride this bike this past weekend and I was so in love with it that I completely overlooked that there is no fuel gauge! It’s completely mental to me that they would choose not to include it in a prestige bike like this. Other than that, it’s extremely likely to be my next bike in the next few weeks!😎👍

It's a fantastic bike for sure @BrandingBuff. But yes, it's pretty weird that in this day and age Ducati don't have the technology to work around this issue.
I love mine. Top 5 for me would be looks, sound, quick shifter, cornering ability and seating position. I am 6'4 and the riding position is great.

Well done on your review!! i have done 6000 km in 12 weeks, i put on CRG Bar mirrors, Akrapovic full system, Sports mode on open road but Wet mode in traffic so it crackles and Pops as you lane split 🔥, and Tail tidy. But Wow what a bike, ride in 8000 plus and hold on and 😂smile 🏍👍🇦🇺

I REALLY wish that I could have afforded the Akrapovic full system Leigh. But it's out of my reach at the moment. Looks fantastic and finishes off the bike perfectly. You're right about hitting 8000rpm... Takes off from there and sound turns up a notch too. While I've got your attention, is there a Ducati map/tune that they do with that exhaust when it's fitted? Or is the cost just for the system and not including labor etc?

I have had my Streetfighter V2 for a few months now. I agree with the mirrors, and I’m also going to put bar-end mirrors on. The lack of a fuel gauge is inexcusable. My 2010 Multistrada 1200s has a fuel gauge, yet my 2022 SF doesn’t. I don’t understand this…. By the way, removing the passenger foot pegs is pretty easy. That was the first think that I ditched.

Good to know Tazawa. I'll do that over the winter while I've nothing else to tinker with. Mirrors have been swapped out for bar ends, so a short video will pop up soon.
Amazing Ducati 🎉 My next bike 100%
Bottom 5 1. Snatchy throttle- I haven’t fitted spacers yet 2. Mirrors- useless 3. Slightly too forward position for me at 5’11’ 4. Have to go 1st, 2nd then neutral 5. Uneven running in traffic, have to filter riding the clutch Top 5 1. Handling 2. Fun factor 3. Smooth power curve up rev range 4. Looks and image 5. Everything else!

Good summary Graham. Although I felt that I needed to drop the bars a little to put it in a slightly sportier riding position. Fitted 890R bars (I'm around 5'10")
Nice video..Where did you get the wheel decals?

I'm loving mine, top 5 positive things for me are handling, the noise, the blipper and downshifting, the looks and the feel good factor, couldn't be happier with it. The mirrors are garbage and the only thing I can really criticise it for, but will get bar end ones soon. I got mine from Ducati Worcester and they have been brilliant looking after me 👌

Hi Swiss. Thanks for your 5 positves. Yeah, it sounds bloody awesome doesn't it. I'm happy with the Ducati dealership experience too. Just a shame that my nearest one is hours away because it would be nice to be able just to drop in and have a coffee and run any queries by them.

Have to admit that it's a proper pain. Okay If I'm on roads that I use a lot because I've a rough idea when I need to top up. If I travel farther afield and I'm having 'fun' it's hard to be so sure. Especially if I don't reset the trip. Which isn't something I should have to be thinking about. Still. I love this bike!

Hi Alistair. Link to my short below with eBay site in description. They are listed as 'Multistrada' but if you tell them it's for a Ducati Streetfighter V2 in the comments box at checkout they'll change it out for you. They were really helpful. From Europe I'm afraid, but worth the wait. And I doubt it'll take 3-4 weeks regardless. kzread.infoFUr9HkZ6jZI?feature=share3
