Ducati Ducati Panigale V2 2025 vs Indian FTR 1200 Comparison

The Ducati Panigale V2 isn't for the faint-hearted. Yes, it may be the entry-level Panigale, but there's nothing "entry-level" about its performance, or agility. In the right hands, the Panigale V2 can be a forgiving, entertaining and fun sportbike, that can make for a very enjoyable outing on a racetrack. The Ducati Panigale V2 isn't exactly affordable though. Priced at ₹ 17.49 lakh (Ex-showroom), the Panigale V2 is almost as expensive as litre-class superbikes.

The Indian FTR 1200 is no adventure bike. It is more of a cross between a naked roadster and a scrambler. The race replica gets a sexier colour scheme along with an Akrapovic exhaust and a few other accessories. The FTR 1200 drops jaws wherever it goes and can match any of the middleweight nakeds in terms of performance. If you have the money and if you want to buy a rather niche motorcycle, the FTR 1200 makes a good case for itself!
