2014 Ducati 899 Panigale First Ride - MotoUSA

[@motorcycleusa]

In the first ride article it says they are Pirelli Diablo Rain Competition Tires.

[@motorcycleusa]

We tested the 1190 Adventure back in August but some of our bike reviews don't have a video. Be sure to stop by the website for the latest reviews.

[@TonyWang]

Thanks for the awesome first look Adam! It was nice to run into you at MotoGP at Laguna SECA. Keep up the hard work! :)

[@Finchnz]

the same comment has been said about the 1199 saying it has no torque down low, if you want more power in general from a small package then the power is going to be at the top of the rev range, i mean look at 2 strokes for an example, people say their peaky but they make heaps of torque (for their cc), its just high in the rpm's

[@650ib]

The 899 looks nice but where's the TFT display and single side swing arm? Yick, I'll keep my 1199R :-)

[@NeirinCedric]

single sided swing arm is for gimps

[@GimpCent]

Neirin Gray Desai leave gimps alone! :)

[@bloodpig101]

...I heard about this guy...he got a single side swing arm...he turned gay in about a week...

[@andrew190e]

you sound like a fuking idiot

[@650ib]

If the single sided swing arm makes it more difficult to lean, only a professional rider would notice it. I don't have issues leaning my R. The 899 msrp is $11,900 and 1199 starts at $18,900 so its not quite half the price. 1199 has the beautiful TFT display and LED headlights and the 899 doesn't. The extra torque and HP on the 1199 makes for a more exciting ride. The 1199 sounds better. I compared my HP4 to my Panigale R and the Ducati won all but one category, which was comfort. Check out the video. Ducati 1199 Panigale R vs BMW HP4: comparison video

[@liamj2363]

That looks pretty tasty actually. Usually I'm not a fan of the ultra-clean Ducati look.

[@IchibanMoto]

nice compromise ... I would like to take it out for a few laps !

[@ZoneTelevision]

Actually the the two sided swing arm provides more torsional rigidity so that the rear suspension doesn't flex as much. If you look at all the MotoGP bikes they're all double sided. Doesn't look as nice but provides better performance.

[@mladenlazic3037]

Is this supersport bestbuy for 2014?

[@KJMTurbo]

Sounds like a revvy 125, maybe it's just mic placement. Maybe it needs a good system.

[@ZoneTelevision]

I actually pleasantly surprised. I suspected this bike was gong to be a great handling bike.Thanks Adam for the review. May I ask what tires were on that bike ? Thanks guys.

[@JesusRodriguez-zj7tu]

Nice with the dual sided swing arm

[@kings2727]

Why dont your guys ever test ride the ktm street bikes

[@ZeebNinja]

What a bummer, you travel a long way, you get to ride a great bike.. and it rains like hell.

[@edmaluf]

C'mon Ducati. No color display on this one?

[@JamesCurl_aka_RedonKiLaus]

I love that engine sound!

[@AlanTrades]

What tires were those

[@crimsonkilla28]

did you really submit a review in the rain smfh

[@supersayin1]

Awesome bike! Great vid

[@illwiteboy]

why was this brand new motorcycle that is turning heads being tested on a rainy day?!?!!?.... this video wont answer any questions, cus his whole perspective on the bike is on a wet road.... um i live in new york weather kinda sucks but its not like im in the U K where rain is the norm so im not going to watch this video!... smart motousa, but you guys are overall great... this is the only video i complained about so hats off to you i forgive, its just i was really really interested in this bike, and my k6 750 is kinda getting old why not an upgrade... anyway thx for the effort

[@GrotrianSeiler]

What's not to like?

[@ZoneTelevision]

Thanks again.

[@socalpimp1974]

WTF was that? Raining?

[@thakiid1013]

hate single sided swing arms more money for less material and only a few lbs saved and it puts your brake disc in the line of fire for grease from the chain and requires a special stand

[@Johnvalkyre]

the sexiest bike ive seen

[@TonyWang]

Keep in mind that this is a "First Look" This is not the same as a review or a bike VS.

[@mike569112]

Is that dude riding in the snow?

[@vivalaphill]

no its called rain but close

[@vivalaphill]

it was never meant to be taken serious

[@NickLiang]

vivalaphill Hahahahaha absolute hero!

[@aWhiteStorm]

If only it had the single sided swing arm

[@kenwu7]

if only every video didnt mention the heat under the seat being a major factor, might consider purchasing

[@AcXr50]

Adam rules.

[@KKOKAJ]

One day!!

[@Beaver314]

this guy talks like he's high. articulate much?

[@MCNoMuscle]

do you mean adam w(ah)eed ? Xdddddd

[@oscarpark1523]

Now that they are VW's I hope they finally make a 600cc bike..

[@LawrenceCrecy]

I like to call it Ducati 899 Pringles

[@joeycheng6323]

If you test ride it on this rainy day.....what can you test???? No point to watch the video....

[@wawero23]

like ! for riding on the wet track :)!

[@TheCanadianCyclist]

I'd ride that!

[@yodaisgod2]

Seems like more of a gloss over than a review.

[@aluisious]

I didn't know I could be this bored by a review of a new sport bike. Guys seriously, I can look up the specs myself, and many times I already know. It's going to be about 400 pounds, it's going to have a bit more than 100hp and ride modes and...I don't give a shit. You're riding it, can you tell me something about that?

[@Omar-bh8yf]

Can't review a bike in the wet, especially in the "limited time" you've said several times. It was an obvious attempt to squeeze something out of nothing.

[@godiskungen27]

Love the design but sound is horrible , I drive Triumph 675 2008 Three Cylinder with Arrow exhaust sounds million million tons better but looks this is awsome

[@AdamWaheed]

+godiskungen27 Sound could have been better for sure. I've learned some new techniques that I am now applying in my current videos. Adam

[@chursthouse]

lost me at the loss of low rpms.... no thanks

[@tkrywit]

The combination of beautiful Italian sportbike and terrible generic music killed my interest in this video. Too bad.

[@mauidirtbikerin808]

Adam needs a hair cut

[@MCNoMuscle]

I think he uses his hair to hide his w(ah)eed !! xddddd

[@mauidirtbikerin808]

priceless

[@AdamWaheed]

+MCNoMuscle lol.

[@AdamWaheed]

+fastestlapsDOTcom Thanks man - finger to the sky, RIP Super Sic.
