  1. Hi Everyone,

    I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Jon, I live in the north east of England.

    Went to a indie motorcycle dealership to trade in my Kawasaki ZH2 for a BMW M S1000r and instead came out with Ducati Streetfighter V2.
    It’s a beautiful thing and I couldn’t be happier. I look forward to getting to know some of you, I ask a lot of questions on forums, you can’t beat the mountain of knowledge on these things.

    Jon

  7. Welcome to the forum! I have a 2022 V2 Streetfighter owned since March 22, and love it - definitely the sweet spot in many ways - and more welly than the new model ;)

    Pics of your bike, please! (and seriously consider bins in background, to keep @Ducbird happy)

  16. I got this one as I left the dealership. That original exhaust needs to go but apart from that, it’s a immaculate machine
     
  17. Thank you :)
     
  18. Welcome to the forum, like the comment going in for a BMW S1000R and coming out with a Streetfighter V2. I purchased my Streetfighter V2 in June and absolutely love it. I have the Akra end can on mine and it sounds amazing. Great pic.
     
  19. Welcome. Missed opportunity the zh2 was ( still own my gen 4 z1000 ) so is definately looking...although I will say the sf styling is taken from the zed!
