So what have you done today..?

You’ve scoffed the choccies way before youdrank the Coffee, unless a second cup?

 

I can’t believe you didn’t save me at least one!!

 

Rode down to Loomies and then onto Goodwood via the A272 and A2141. Lovely roads!

 

Pretty sure I saw the bikes at Loomies early afternoon ? Andy

 

Yes indeed! We were inside eating too much as usual. What were you on?

 

A 1200 Multistrada, was taking a chap out on a Streetfighter V2 for some guidance Andy

 

Ah yes! Did it have Moto Rapido stickers on? I think the Streetfighter V4 may just be my next bike. Stunning looking

 

Lovely bike! How do you keep your pipes so shiny?!

 

I’ll hold you to that!

 

Yes, it would have. Just my opinion having ridden both, the Streetfighter V2 makes much more sense as a road bike than the Streefighter V4. If nothing else, the V2 has better consumption although ‘better’ is a subjective description The V2 needs to be revved to unlock the smooth power, thanks to the EU5 neutering but the handling is sharp and the quick shifter is sublime. The V4 is just mentally stupid, not as bad as but similar to the Panigale V4 I have. Andy

 

Strong wrists

 

Is having a V2 like having a Porsche Boxster?

 

No. More like a 911 instead of a 911 Turbo. Andy

 

I’d love to have a go on both for sure. I’ve never had a naked and always preferred the look/performance of a full fairied sports bike. But seeing both the V2 and the V4 today was special. And that riding position would certainly be more forgiving. My hip ‘clicked’ for the first time today when I went around a right hander ‍♂️. Ouch.

 

I’m 6’4” and the riding position on the V2 is surprisingly relaxed. Andy

 

Rode the bike to work, found a friend to park next to haha
