Ducati Panigale V2 2020

Ducati Panigale V2 2020

For us, the Panigale V2 is the ultimate road super sports bike. Sophisticated electronic assistance systems that leave nothing to be desired, Ducati's fun 955 cm³ two-cylinder Superquadro engine that generates more than enough power for the road with 155 hp, a great seating position and a high degree of controllability. All of this characterises the Panigale V2 and for this reason it is probably "the" country road supersports bike for us at the moment, but it also cuts a good figure on the racetrack. The Panigale V2 should appeal above all to pilots for whom 200 hp rockets are a bit too much, and to all those who have also been enchanted by this work of art on two wheels.

Beautiful and noble design - ensures many open mouths!

Outstanding electronics package ensures a lot of safety and fun in traffic

Engine, ergonomics & electronics make the machine incredibly "experienceable"!

A real insider tip for supersport beginners and returners

Just the right measure of many things, engine power, chassis, ergonomics.

Compared to other engines of this size, it would still have been nice to have one/two more horses, but there are no really comparable current alternatives to the V2

"Only" in Race mode does it show its true potential

MV Agusta Superveloce 800 2020

MV Agusta Superveloce 800 2020

The Superveloce 800 is unique. This is not only due to its noble retro look, but above all to the fact that it adopts pretty much all the components and geometry from the company's own super sports bike, the MV Agusta F3 800. In other words, a real racetrack rocket with a cool old-school look. This makes it particularly interesting for people who place great value on a unique design for their machine without having to compromise on performance. There is also (unfortunately) no question that there will be more people who like the Superveloce 800 than those who can actually afford it.
