Ducati Streetfighter V2 review: The perfect ‘Fight Formula’?
Its effectively a Panigale V2 with more flexible ergos and a harsh, yet lovely set of clothes.Come to think of it, one of the most exciting and enjoyable motorcycles I rode last year was the Ducati Streetfighter V4 S– yes, even on our roads. A DIFFERENT THING While the SF V2 might look nearly similar to the V4, it is actually a totally various bike– just as the Panigale V2 is totally different to the Panigale V4. The chassis is also various, with the SF V2 running a monocoque-style chassis, a radical idea that debuted in the 1199 Panigale all the way back in 2012. Simply like the Panigale V2, there are three riding modes, however where the Panigale V2 gets Race, Sport and Road, the SF V2 gets Sport, Road and Wet.Panigale inspired TFT screen is compact, but sharp.A RIGHTEOUS FIGHT?Our brief trip experience with the SF V2 in Italy exposes that it offers an incredibly similar experience to the Panigale V2, but with more comfort. Sculpted seats looks like Panigales, however much better padded.The Streetfighter V2 has actually simply been released in India at Rs 17.25 lakh, ex-showroom– an excellent offer less expensive than the Panigale V2, which presently retails at a tear-inducing Rs 19.5 lakh, ex-showroom.
