This is THEE go to machine for all Trust Fund Babies

quick question , when you took your mirrors off did you get a warning triangle on your dash ..thanks in advance

Is this comes with factory quickshiter?

I would choose this over V4 every time. Except if it was for the V4R.

great video, your thoughts on this bike vs the v4?

1299FE in my opinion is the pinnacle of Planigale’s. If I was a rich man I would prefer the 1299 SL any day over the new V4 Planigale’s. I still LOVE my 1199 it has done so well over the last nearly 5 years for me. Next bike for me would definitely be a 1299. One question on your 1299FE when you upgraded from the stock exhaust with the huge Cat can, did you have to do an up map for this?

Love the ride. What road is this, looks like a fun one to check out.

Think you need to get this bike back ❤️

Thanks for the video, it's helpful. I had a new V4S and unfortunately totaled it recently due to some unexpected sand across a mountain road. I have a V4SP on order, but I'm actually thinking of pulling the trigger on a 1299FE instead. I really don't like the V4 motor...it's completely lacking midrange and torque. I've been spoiled by the RC51 and Aprilia Tuono. The Aprilia V4 is superior to Ducati's in every way. I'm hoping this 1299 FE will give me that grunt and hard pull from any rpm that I miss.

Great vid. More daily riding videos please!! 🥺

You said the engine is amazing and you put that music... Didn't downvote your video but no like either. Thanks for the vid though

Nice clip only guy I seen taking a ride and not racing on the street you still have the bike?

Hey Bud. Great videos! Great comparison to the v4. You are just the guy I need to speak to. So I currently ride a 2018 R1. Considering trading for a 2017 1299s Anniversario with full ackra. I owned an 1199s loaded with goodies. Miss the twin. Did you have many issues with the 1299s and is the 1299s a much different bike than the 1199s

Watched this vid 10 times, man you shoulda kept it !

awesome bike but too expensive though

I have the same FE and got the race exhaust fitted. I have had problems since... 10 months in the shop. Change the shop and got more professional help. It rides awesome now but below 5000 rpm it is like there is missing fuel. At 3-4000 rpm it is time a delay on the fuel.. do you experience the same

Isn’t this also An “R”?

I have a 1299R FE also, changing the exhaust system to Austin Raceing exhaust. Where did you get the carbon belly pan from?

Beautiful bike 🏍 thanks for making this video review

Perfect bike but the wheels black or the metal color of the exhaust would be better. Still perfect hahaha

I also bought an FE, with no regrets about not choosing the V4.

I bought an FE and put the race exhaust and some other goodies on it. I love it! I wondered before I got it, whether to get the V4 Speciale or the FE. I think I made the right choice and with 12 Ducati’s and the Monster Anniversario on order. This is the final tribute, which means something to a true Ducatista

1299 is slightly better looking than v4 but the v4 is the one to beat!

Hi Kevin. I got my 1299 final edition last week. Did you get an owner manual? Does the chain grease drip on your exhaust? How did you adjust gear lever? To me that seems like an engineering error...

Hey Kevin it's Ethan cool to see your review forgot you had a KZbin channel so I subscribed and I'll see you maybe in a month or so.

This bike looks 100 times better than the V4 speciale

Down to earth dude nice!!! The comparison was really good and easy to understand keep it up

Nice review. Your spot on mate. Ducati's mis behave with their stock systems , all in the name of these god damn euro requirements. You have to throw an after market system on them to cure the hesitation they can have. Ducati twins have a rawness to them , enthusiasts love it, some riders not so much. I think the V4 has gone down the road of the Japanese, supremely powerful, smooth and brilliant but lacks that rawness. Love your bike and I wouldn't change it for V4 . There's more character/ personality in your bike

Panigale having torque? well sure it have but have you ridden the older ducs like 1x98? The Panigale is very hihg revving for a V/L-twin. But one thing I think is funny with Ducatistas. First they say that they love the shaking, rattling and vibrating that a v-twin is at low rpm ie being lumpy and making fun of 4 cyl powered bikes but now they praise the Panigale V4 for being smooth at those revs? Okey :D

If my short ass tried to roll backwards out of a driveway like that I would fall immediately

Really nice pipes look boss,great review 👌👍

Nice video sweet FE Thank you... I to had a 1299 base which i was going to throw a bunch of money into. I dicided not to. Sold it and waited for V4 I kind of was on the fence with V4 base or a 1299S. And passed on both and went with a low miles 1098S Tricolore. I fell in love with ducatis tri colore bikes. Their paint schemes just transform the bikes. I would love to be rolling down the road with you with that full race ackra booming and my 70mm race termi. booming. That would be some nice v-twin thunder!!!!

Very nice comprehensive review. Beautiful Panigale man.

Would take the 1299R FE over the V4 any time

You know you want the V4😜 JK, your bike is awesome too.

stunning bike ! in the looks department this beats the v4 hands down

I also want to thank you for your honest opinion also. Thats what we need to hear. The real facts from a average rider. I also subscribed !!!!!!!!! Have fun & be careful !!

Great Bike , that exhaust is just Superb ". 🥊

I think everyone will agree that this is the best looking panigale ever...even when I saw the v4 for first time I was qute quite a bit disappointed with the design... I have been thinking why is ducati downgrading their deaign? this bike is that good...

Hi Kevin, great video - I own a Final Edition as well #140. I have been looking for an exhaust to eliminate the euro 4 stock exhaust system. Where did you find an exhaust system to replace the original? What web site do I need to go to? Can you please point me in the right direction. I'm located in Milwaukee and My Ducati Dealership will be putting on the exhaust. Check out my bike on Instagram @ 1299finaledition

Any heating issues with the 1299 final edition? How do all the panigale’ compare with heating?

Congrats dude! 👍👍

Love the bike but that white coming up to the fairing shows a panel fitment of a 1977 Chevy Citation.

Great video, didn't know you had a KZbin channel channel too. I suspected you were the one w the 2000 mile review . Taking mine to the track Thursday doing the 600 mile oil change and bolt tightening this weekend!

L Twin 4LYFE!

You were spot on with the comparison on the V4. I rode a Panigale 1299 S and I couldn't believe how quick it could turn in and how much punch it had in the mid range the V4 is smoother but you can have some crazy aggressive fun with the V twin

good comments

Nice review...I have had a highly modified 1299s for about 1 year now and love the way it delivers the power. It has more torque through the range than any bike I've ever owned, and it is not shy about unleashing it. I recently test rode a stock V4s and it is really a totally different bike with regard to power. Much smoother throughout the range and seemed a little more graceful in power delivery and handling. My dealer did a dyno on my 1299s and the V4s, same day, and my 1299 pulled 179hp at the wheel, V4s pulled 181hp at wheel. Not much difference in power, just how it delivers. I think it really boils down to the rider and their preference. For me, V4s would be a preferred street/commuter bike, and the 1299s would be better for me on track.

If it came down to just looks then your bike wins over the v4 speciale hands down. It is just a stunning bike. Yeah if I walked into my garage and saw that I would be a very happy bunny..

Looks like a great place to ride & enjoy that gorgeous bike
