If straight-line speed is your priority, the H2 takes the lead. With 42 HP more than the Panigale V2, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Panigale V2 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 45kg less than the H2, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the H2. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the Panigale V2, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the panigale-v2 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the h2 if you want the alternative brand character.
