When I rode the Ducati Streetfighter V4 for the very first time, I was blown away by its sheer brutal acceleration and the kind of adrenaline it induces. The feeling was something I had never experienced on a motorcycle before. The fact that it holds the title of being one of the most powerful production motorcycles on this planet should give you an idea of what I am talking about. Talk of MotoGP-derived tech cramped into a hyper-naked machine with winglets. It was chaos dialled to the max. Having said that, when I was handed the keys to the Streetfighter V2, I experienced mixed emotions. On one side, it was about what to expect from the V2 after experiencing the kind of performance that the V4 packed, and on the other, the fact that the V2 is a stripped-down version of the middleweight-plus Panigale V2. And I am happy to inform you that the Streetfighter V2 doesn't disappoint but enhances the whole experience and the proof of that are tall and long wheelies on demand.
Now, it is one thing to share design and looks with a higher displacement motorcycle and a completely different experience when the other motorcycle is a Streetfighter V4. It is one motorcycle that has the stance of a brat bully but still manages to steal the show with its imposing design, despite the minimalistic bodywork.
