I like it. Maybe a bit too close to the 1200 but that’s ok. Not sure about the front wheel tho, as I’m kinda a purist when it comes to 17” fronts on a street bike.

Just came from 11 days riding the Multis in the WPM, the consensus seems to
be that the V2S is the best bike of the bunch for the Italian roads we rode.
It felt agile compared to the Multi V4S, almost like a Hyper 950 with a
different tank. The V4S IS agile, but back to back, the V2 feels lighter
and more flickable.
I had the V2S most of the times in the fast group and was able keep up with
the lead guide on the PP with some effort, thanks imho to the twin torque
plus the amazing quick shifter. It can brake deeper, turn on a dime and
bolt on exit. The tour guide (DRE instructor) confirmed to me, he was
fighting the PP on those tight roads.
Ducati's quick shifter programming idk looks improved at every generation.
Makes the V2S a lot faster everywhere. The Desert X is just as agile, but
too soft to keep up.
The Pikes Peak's 17" agility is negated by the raked out geometry/extra
trail. It makes for a hard work on the switchbacks. It seems designed for
the big sweepers/track. Some really disliked it even.
