Can be done. Bolt in and re-tune. the 180/60 would make for a quick turning bike. Thou S Wheels a plentiful.
If you really want something gangsta, then swap motor with one of the WSBK engines form Codex Motorsports in UK. swap and tune on v2 would still be cheaper than a R.

899-ish Track Bike Build #2
The new build starts next week! For those who followed my 2014 899 track bike build last year, you know that it turned out pretty well and I had a blast on that bike. Never content to leave things alone, I decided to basically part it out over the winter and rebuild it in a completely...

But V2 engine swap would be a much more interesting project given the electronics etc.
...or a simple V2 fairing swap over to a 1299

I just said that in a text message
“Maybe one day they'll make a 1285cc big twin with the 2020+ fairings”

Yes that was a fun project! I think the bottom line is the shorter wheelbase with more power makes the bike less stable and lap times are harder to turn. It was FUN, but I'd probably never do it again, a balanced platform is easier to run quick times on.

I'm sure we'll have something going with a V2, just don't have any extra bikes right now, V2's are a hot commodity!
This is good news! I hope Ducati sell every v2 they make so that they won't consider letting go of the vtwin superbike all together
