I picked up my V2 today, 200 miles in one day. I was shocked when I saw the bike for the first time, so beautiful in the metal, video and images don't reflect the true picture of this bike. Aching, yes, hot, yes, emotional connection, yes. Every time I stopped for fuel, coffee, folk wanted to chat about the bike.

Ry Griff yes I love it! Can't compare it to a Daytona though as I never rode one. But the V2 has everything you need and even more. Handling is awesome, the tech is amazing, the power, torque and sound keeps me smiling all the time. Buy it lol

Kevin McCaig I’ve watched countless videos and it definitely sounds like an exhaust is needed. I bet that would be another 4-5k (yikes). If you ever have a chance to ride a triumph, do it! I am on my second and they are so narrow and nimble yet plenty of torque and bottom end power. It may feel slow though compared to the Ducati haha.

Loved the video. I just left Ducati dealership and they have the 2021 v2 Panigale. I’m riding her Tuesday!

You have a very strange/different enthusiasm and way of describing the bike... I like it, and it kept me watching the full video 👍... subscribed

Hey Matty! Nice Video, thanks. I ordered me this beauty and I will get it in october. Can't wait to feel it between my legs, so I burn the time with watching videos about the V2 ;) I already did a testride and I totaly agree with you. It's a masterpice of european engineering Greetings from Berlin and ride save!

You nailed it my brother . I have this bike and she is a beast . She tapped out at 183 STOCk . I say keep your liter bike I have more than plenty . Great video . The remix part was hilarious 😂

Picked up my 2021 on Friday. Love the looks, easy to ride and not intimidating at all. More than enough power for everyday twisty rider. My only complaint is the front breaks. IMHO they aren't powerful enough. It just doesn't grab as quickly as I would like. Other than that..lot's of fun, great sound and beautiful.

Thanks for the video thinking of getting one :) subbed

Hello from Brazil.... nice video!! here we don't have it yet just the 959 that I first tought would be the same the V2, thanks for making it clear....I agree 1198 is a fight to ride in traffic.

​@@mattymotorcycle1713 Yes, upmap was done on the install of the exhaust. I never road it stock, so i don't know how it feels in stock form. I'm coming from the 848 Evo and there is a night and day difference. There is definitely no lag low down and i even can roll in 6th going 60 without it chugging. I need to do some clips!

Nice video bro I’m thinking to buy this byke or a bmw s1000rr 2020 What do you think is a better option?

I liked your 1198 comparison,that's were I'm at and I wondered how the power compared,I would hope that advances have been made in the intervening years,I was disappointed to hear this V2 isn't particularly light but I'm hearing you raving about so I'm thinking this is better than any L twin thus far.

No good if you live somewhere warm,melting your bells to look cool…pass!

The V2 had another predecessor that you're conveniently forgetting, the 2012 1199 Panigale. The 1199 had 172 HP and a top speed of 177 mph. This "new" V2 has a revised, two-piece fairing - to revise the airflow around the engine - and a much smaller engine. In my opinion, the V2 is a BIG step down from the 1199.

@@TheZallene, the V4 is in a different - 4 cylinder - league, for sure, but the the "new" V2 and the 2012 1199 Panigale are both 2-cylinder bikes and very similar underneath their fairings. All Ducati did was change the Panigale's fairing to allow better air circulation.
