The Bike Highlight – 2022 Ducati Streetfighter V2

Ducati’s new Streetfighter V2 was recently unveiled, and we love the look of the naked sports bike!

The 2022 Streetfighter V2 model mimics the mechanical components of a Panigale V2 but stripped of its fairings and equipped with high, wide handlebars. The heart of the Streetfighter V2 is a 955cc V-twin Superquadro engine delivering 148bhp and 75lb-ft of torque, and although these figures are similar to the Panigale V2’s, the Streetfighter will have a more aggressive acceleration due to the abscence of the full-fairing.

The Streetfighter V2’s naked aesthetics includes a compact front headlight, high handlebars and a wider, more comfortable seat position with a height of 845mm. The tyres are Pirelli’s Diablo Ross IV Sports and the five-spoke wheels are another component borrowed from Ducati’s Panigale V2.

The vast array of electronics on the Streetfighter V2 includes cornering ABS, traction control (lean-sensitive), wheelie control, slide control and rear lift detection. There’s an up/down quickshifter and engine brake control as standard, and the 4.3-inch TFT dash features three riding modes – Sport, Road or Wet.
