So after being a grinch and criticizing the looks of the 2020 Suzuki Vstrom, it's time to heap praise on bike designers. The 2020 V2 Panigale is gorgeous!
I'm not a horsepower chaser myself so reading the first ride impressions made me smile, comments along the lines of a bike for those more into enjoying the ride, the handling and cornering rather than trying to contain excessive hp.
155hp 104ft/lbs sounds ample for me.
This is a tweaked 959 Panigale apparently but the subtle styling cues really make a difference to my eyes anyway. That red boomerang panel under the tank looks spot on.
Never owned a Ducati. Which is a shame really. Ridden a few. The shuddering engine and rough gear boxes put me off some of them. Mates ones often broke down too and all I heard was the horror stories of service costs.
So what do you all think of this beauty?
