Pros and watch-outs
Ducati Panigale V2
Pros
- 100% Panigale aluminium monocoque chassis (identical to V4)
- 175 kg dry — lightest in the Panigale lineup
- Complete Race-Ready electronic suite (TC EVO 2 + Cornering ABS + Quickshifter EVO 2)
- Radial Brembo Stylema — Superbike-reference caliper
- New 890cc V-twin engine, 12,000 rpm redline — pure character
Watch-outs
- Extreme sport riding position — tiring for daily use
- Not A2-compatible — 47.5 hp restriction loses all the 12,000 rpm magic
- Desmodromic oil change ~2,800 MAD at Sopriam (more expensive service)
Yamaha R7
Pros
- Native A2 — no restrictor needed (73 hp under limit)
- Radical R6-like sport position — genuine A2 sportbike
- Adjustable inverted KYB suspension + radial Brembo brake
- Proven CP2 engine (shared MT-07 / Ténéré 700) = simple parts and service
- The only real A2 supersport under 100k MAD in Morocco
Watch-outs
- Aggressive riding position — tiring for daily long-distance use
- 73 hp insufficient for circuit-track use like Marrakech / Casablanca
- No 6-axis IMU or standard quickshifter (vs Aprilia RS 660 +30k MAD)
