I’ve had my 1299 almost 3 yrs now and I have to say it’s awesome Not sure what people read or say about the problems I have had one One small recall on the front brakes and like all vehicles Recalls are not really a problem It’s not uncomfortable or does it make my hands or shoulders go numb It’s surprisingly tall and long so by far not cramped Ya it gets warm in stop and go traffic but it’s about ride what u want ; when and where I choose to ride mine on the open roads and country side with my friends Not to point this out but you are sitting on a motor The heat doesn’t bother me and I have been stuck in traffic from time to time It’s a bike not a couch or sofa and if I wanted to ride that I go buy a goldwing or even worse ; sit home on the sofa and browse you tube like the experts on here People forgot what bikes are about and choose to criticize machines they probably never drove or even seen one in real person

I had my 1299 for 1 year and 6,500 miles. I also did 4 track days on it. As a bike to ride it was awsome and I loved it, it felt really special but it was soooo unreliable (ignition relay failed twice, spat its chain, problem with overheating and an undiagnosed intermittent inertial sensor issue). I now have a 200whp r1 that spits flames and sounds sooo good and would eat my 1299 for breakfast and don't regret the change in any way. Don't get me wrong I loved the 1299 when it worked but the r1 is just better in most areas

I can still remember as if it was yesterday taking the demo bike out for a spin. By that time I had already owned 5 bikes - various from honda through suzuki to even a moto guzzi. After not even 5 minutes on the ducati I just knew that I would be buying the bike. It was amazing.

90deg twins are 'L's, shallower than 90degs are vtwins. The advantage of the 90deg layout is engine balance without the need for balance shafts to eliminate engine vibration, and a power pulse delivery that's less severe on tyres. If anything the 90deg 'L' layout has caused Ducati 'C of G' problems by limiting the placement options within the frame compared to a narrower 'v twin' layout.

I know that everybody and their dog wants ducati to just do bikes that look like the 916, but that's boring and being stuck in the past. If you want a bike that looks like that, get the 916!

They even beat Ducati in using a single sided swingarm on a road bike with the VFR750F in 1990!

It's important to look at the history of the Superbike World Championship, since the FIM superbike regulations gave rise to Ducati's superbikes. Ducati had many minor adjustments in displacement because the superbike regulators were trying to balance performance between the 750cc four-cylinders and the v-twin competitors. As a result, Ducati was trying to create compatibility between the standard roadbike and the homologation machines allowed under the FIM Superbike regulations, hence the 851/888/916/996/998. The FIM Superbike World Championship was promoted (therefore run) by the Flamminis, who were quite interested in making sure Ducati was at the front. The superbike race victories and world championships with numerous riders during the 90s (Foggarty being the most notable) were instrumental in establishing icon status for the water-cooled Desmoquattro and Desmoquattro Testastretta superbikes. Eventually, Honda got fed up with the alleged imbalance in regulations, and they scrapped the RC45 for the RC51 V-Twin, which Colin Edwards piloted to victory in 2000 and 2002. In 2003, the FIM Superbike regulations were reset so all competitors, regardless of cylinder count, would have 1000cc. This was the era of the 999, and it's why displacement remained stable for 5 years. Eventually, Ducati alleged the 1000cc-for-all formula was unsustainable, and the FIM changed the displacement for twins to 1200cc. As a result, Ducati built the 1098 and eventually migrated to the 1198. Superbike regulations have shaped Ducati's superbike lineup for 30 years.

Great video. You could mention Desmosedici between 1198 and 1199. It was limited but its design was critical for the 1199 I think. Good work, nice.

The bike of Big Boss. Triumph T100 or just triumph in general. Very iconic motorcycle.

Very informative video Yammie! Being a Panigale owner, this hits home for me.

hey Yammie! could you do a Royal Enfield or Norton history video next? they are pretty historic. and i plan to make some motovlogs on it as well.

Not a specific make/model but the evolution of speed/performance and power would be interesting along with how it was achieved through technological advances in aerodynamics, material, engines, etc.

I'd like to see the history behind the ninja H2 and the H2R knowing that they are from a different series of bikes, and if it is too complicated than just do a history of zx10r

Didn't even watch the video yet and liked it because I knew it was going to be awesome!
