Indian Ducati fans are in for a treat as the new V2-based motorcycles, which are both powerful and light on the bank, make their way to India. Over the past few days, the Indian website of the Italian superbike brand has undergone significant changes, headlining the new Panigale and Streetfighter. While Panigale is a racing model, Indian markets were awaiting the nimble and powerful naked models under the Streetfighter tag.
Ducati has finally provided a much-needed update on its V2 motorcycles. The 2025 Streetfighter V2 and V2S are not your typical can’t-afford-a-V4-so-here-we-are bikes.
Earlier, V2s were getting the rap with many a rider opting for 208HP V4 over the 153HP V2—carrying a hefty price tag of USD 18,000 (about Rs 15.1 lakhs). But the latest 2025 Streetfighter V2 with a 120HP-producing 890cc V2 V-twin engine will cost you just below USD 15,000 (around Rs 12.5 lakhs) according to their global page, widening its gap from the V4. And suddenly, the Streetfighter could be an attractive buy that will go to war against the likes of KTM Duke 990, Triumph Street Triple, and Yamaha MT-09.

The new Streetfighter V2S will now cost a bit more than the earlier V2, but it bears the Ducati’s “S” brand, making it a top-shelf beast. Both V2 and V2S get a 5-inch TFT dashboard derived from the one you stop in their new Panigale V4.
The India Ducati page has yet to update the price specs for the V2-based Streetfighters, but the V4 and V4S begin at ex-showroom tags of Rs 24.6 lakhs and Rs 27.8 lakhs, respectively. Indian buyers hope for a much more affordable price range, for these new V2s may have more takers.
