Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022

Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022

With the Streetfighter V2, Ducati has modified the Panigale V2 super sports bike and made it suitable for everyday use. Despite its visual similarity to the Streetfighter V4, it has a character of its own and also has airs and graces that make life with it a little difficult, but interesting on the other hand. The jerky engine running at low revs obviously doesn't bother Ducatisti, however, and instead they are pleased with 153 hp that hangs well on the throttle, finely responsive chassis components, high-quality brakes and complete electronic equipment - only the fuel gauge was forgotten. Similar to its riding qualities, however, the Streetfighter V2 is also priced upwards in the direction of hyper-naked bikes.

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019

The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.
