Video | Ducati Panigale V2 S
Face of Autotrader’s YouTube channel Rory Reid swaps from four wheels to two with a ride on Ducati’s reborn Panigale V2
Former TopGear host Rory Reid may now be best known for his car videos on Autotrader’s award-winning YouTube channel, where his knowledge and insight on matters automotive draws a large and passionate audience. But Rory’s a rider, too, and for this latest video he’s dusted off his biking kit to try out the latest Ducati Panigale V2 S and find out if less power really can equal more fun.
Because, as you’ll likely know, this new V2 trades some of the muscle and attitude of the previous one for a lighter build, smaller engine, less power and more inclusive and (relatively) easy-going character. Which is a big deal for a bike like the Panigale, which has always represented the pinnacle of power, speed and performance in all its forms. Has it dumbed down too far, or does the renewed focus on handling and usable performance actually make it the perfect superbike for our times? Join Rory for a ride to find out, and if you enjoyed this video make sure you subscribe to the channel for more great vids on the latest kit on four and two wheels!
