Ducati Streetfighter V2

The Streetfighter V2 is sold in 3 variants, from ₹17,85,977 for the Standard to ₹20,19,900 for the S - Yellow, ex-showroom Delhi.

That makes it priced 112th lowest among the 137 sports bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition (₹13,023 more) and the Hayabusa (₹20,908 more).

On the road in Delhi the base Streetfighter V2 comes to ₹20.12 Lakh: ₹17,86,000 ex-showroom, ₹1,54,880 in Delhi road tax and registration (8.7%), ₹53,487 for first-year insurance and ₹17,860 in tcs 1%. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

The Streetfighter V2 is rated at 17 kmpl (claimed mileage). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.

Among the 114 sports bikes we have reviewed it ranks 100th for mileage, 16 kmpl below the group average of 33 kmpl.

The 890cc liquid-cooled engine makes 118 bhp and 93.3 Nm through a 6 Speed. With a kerb weight of 200 kg that is 590 bhp per tonne, 25th best power-to-weight of the 135 bikes in this class we have reviewed.

Peak power is high relative to torque, so this engine rewards revs: it feels ordinary below the mid-range and comes alive above it.

Chassis hardware includes USD front forks, a rear monoshock, dual-channel ABS, a slipper clutch and traction control, with a disc, 320 mm, 4 piston caliper up front and disc, 245 mm, 2 piston caliper at the rear.

The 838 mm seat is on the tall side. Riders under 5'6" should sit on one before buying.

On safety kit the Streetfighter V2 has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, traction control, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.

Against Streetfighter V4, Hayabusa or RSV4 1100 Factory, it gets rear monoshock that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: projector headlamp and usb charging port, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.

It is offered in 3 colours: Ducati Red, Ducati Red - S and Ducati Yellow. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Standard warranty is 2 years, unlimited km.

Ducati runs a limited sales and service network in India, at roughly 15 touchpoints. Check the nearest workshop before buying if you live outside a metro; a 40 km ride for every service adds up.

The Streetfighter V2 launched in 2025, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
