2016 Ducati 959 Panigale Test Ride - Worth The Money?

[@reviewdykeusa8347]

If it makes you happy it's always worth the purchase.

[@bobbob-xp3pb]

Bro, that's perfectly said... no one can argue with that... thumbs up, sir

[@18565792]

It would be awesome to test ride that. And the bike seems fun too.

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah its a fun bike for sure...just wish it was more comfortable and had less engine heat under your ass. haha

[@ducatisandmonsters5800]

I was going to get this too but the monster was more comfortable

[@jaguar123987x]

Did it had heat shield?

[@user-fx5sw4jy7hYz9Hzi]

I don't think Jaret got the joke.

[@flamincooo1]

that figure tho, DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MXRiderFiftyTwo]

I just purchased a 2012 Red Ducati 848 with 3000 miles on it for 15k.has termignoni's on it.Not as fast as my 07 CBR1000 ,but nicer to ride and looks wicked.Il definitely stick with Ducati.

[@bobbob-xp3pb]

Nice bro... how's the maintenance though? I love Honda, but I agree, looks are night and day

[@ChrisGodly]

when you say panigale, you sound like forrest gump lmao

[@JaretCampisi]

hahaha stupid is a stupid does

[@carswithsonduren]

what a beauty! The white is a gorgeous color

[@JaretCampisi]

Agreed, I think its one of the best looking bikes every made.

[@DonnieDesmo]

I got the nearly identical 899 and think it's definitely worth the money. Fabulous looks, very easy to handle and featuring quite a punchy engine. Just switch the seat. That thing's been killing me and I have been riding an old-school 998 for years. It rubs you sore in all the wrong places! I've just installed the comfort seat to see how that turns out. Oh, the relief I'm anticipating...

[@Mr.Storytime959]

What’s the reliability like for you? I just bought one

[@DonnieDesmo]

@@Mr.Storytime959 Reliability was excellent. I never had any issues, even though I took it to two track day events.

[@heeneydoingthings]

Unbiased, great review. Good stuff Jaret.

[@NWGJulian]

could you find better value for your money? yes of course, but thats not how and why people buy ducatis, or ferraris, or lamborghinis ;-) its all about the emotion and the passion, the fear and feeling you get when you start that brutal engine. you dont get that on a honda

[@JaretCampisi]

NWGJulian amen brother 🙏🏼👍

[@iannamico]

but but but you meet the nicest people on a honda

[@beeweezee71888]

Bro that Ducati is a Ferrari in the Motorcycle world. So, since I cant afford one. That will be my next purchase lol. It always good to have a Japanese and Italian sportbike in the garage. I love the way it look soo exotic! Great video!!

[@JaretCampisi]

haha thanks man I loved the way it looked too but unfortunately it was just way too uncomfortable to ride...won't be picking up a panigale anytime soon. haha

[@mellosaldivar9757]

Yeah man, I love my 2016 959 Panigale, Got mine in September fresh at 5 miles, had to do the whole Engine Break in period and all. Right now I'm sitting at about 1567 Miles on the Odometer, and I ride every day even in this cold winter weather, and man, rain, ice, whatever, it still rides like a fucking charm. Adrenalizing bike for sure, and a bike that gets all the looks for sure! It's a little cool, and still really nice the first 600 miles, but after the first service and the rev limiter taken off, MAN, it is a fucking animal for sure! Power wheelied it the first day on first gear, and man, it is sensational. A trust worthy bike, gets the looks, the speed, the daily riding, the track riding, and whatever you want it to do, it will do. It's a love relationship with this bike for sure! If you end up getting it man, it's the best decision you would ever make. And hey, if you do, welcome to the Ducati club, where everyone treats you like royalty! Instagram: @mellojap

[@JaretCampisi]

haha right on man, its a sick bike for sure. Congrats on owning that beauty.

[@mellosaldivar9757]

Jaret Campisi Thanks man! Hope to catch ya later on the Panigale! If you got any questions I'm active on my Instagram @mellojap Great video!

[@kevinvanniekerk7558]

i drive the 2013 848 evo SE. When the sound hits that distinctive rumble sound at about 6-8k revs you really feel the power. you can year the same thing in the video happening, its like a 2 strokes powerband kicking in

[@KingConn92]

Thanks for the test ride videos man! I want to buy a bike and I love being able to watch a review on these bikes!

[@johndough007]

I have cruised this same route, currently a student at UCSB. Nice bike!

[@JaretCampisi]

haha nice man! Gotta love Santa Barbara :)

[@moemubarak9102]

love the video, Jaret! cant wait til you get it. i own an 899. subbed!

[@JaretCampisi]

oh dude hell yea congrats on that puppy! I'm still deciding what to do as I would need my lady to take my bike before I buy another...so we'll see.

[@dman117zx6]

I rode my friends 899, which is basically the same bike, and I had all the same complaints bro! But definately one of the best sounding and looking bike's out there

[@EEEBA1]

That's the key like you said "Finding the bike that you enjoy riding and that makes you feel special" I had 14 bikes and none of them did that. The search continues :)

[@XPsychowaffleX]

I'm not particularly a fan of Ducatis, but i cannot deny that that is one SEXY bike. But i think i like the SRV4-RF color scheme and sound a little bit better

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah I absolutely love the look of the panigales but honestly I couldn't get over how incredibly uncomfortable they are...I literally couldn't wait to get off it and its really a shame because its been my dream bike for about 10 years.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

Aprilia RSV4 is the best sounding bike but they looked 10 years older already - just like the BMW S1000RR they both look very old !!!! The Panigale has timeless beauty which will help in resale !!!!

[@tedsantiago4505]

Harley Davidson Breakout Ducati Panigale 1299 dude you i dont know if you own a panigale or not but i cant help but see your bias. I understand that some people feel the need to justify their purchase over other products. Not just me but many people that i know, bike magazines, bike vloggers and many others have never said anything negative about the RSV4 besides some nitpicky stuff that can easily solved or changed. Hands down its one of the best if not the best litre bike out there. Ducati is such an exeptional bike but in my opinion and many other's, the RSV4 is simply a better bike over all. Theres nothing that the panigale can do that the rsv4 cant thats worth mentioning. If im on the market and im after an exotic litre bike, ill place where my heart is and thats with the rsv4.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

The only thing i like about the RSV4 is the sound of the V4 (the best sound) ... I dont like the ugly 1990 ish dashboard (calculator display). I dont like the extremely tall seat height I dont like the front head lights they looked like they were made in the 90s. I don't like the unreliability of Aprilia I don't like the 10 year old styling (Aprilia and BMW S1000RR looked 10 years old already in a showroom - they don't take my breath away like the Panigale does) I'm 5'11" and i struggled to flat foot on the Aprilia lol I don't like small company with very little backup although Ducati is not much bigger than Aprilia lol. I went to Aprilia forum to read about negative and positive stuff people post on their bikes reliability as well as mods they have purchased for their bikes, but the forums were like grave yard hardly anyone uses those forums lol. In my city Aprilia was forced to shut its door so there's no dealership around to help you if you bought one. By the way I own 2016 Panigale 1299 and 2015 Panigale 1299S (wife's bike) so no i am not bias at all i know for a fact the Ducati is the best bike for resale. I would have bought the 2017 RSV4 RF but Aprilia didn't change the design or shape of their bikes so that idea went out of the window real fast - i am not interested in buying a bike that looks 10 years old in a showroom.

[@tedsantiago4505]

Well it looks like you're very superficial with your bike choices. To each their own, some will pick a bike simply or mainly for its looks such as yourself. I on the other hand value riding pleasure more than how my bike or how i look like with my bike. Plus looks are subjective, you might think rsv4 looks old but thats your opinion. Ive never heard anyone complain about its looks besides the triple headlight design, i personally like it. As for a small market company, thats what i like about them!! They're a small company punching way above their weight. Both in product quality and in the racing scene! I live here in Australia, and aprilia dealerships here are abundant, so im lucky about that. Reliability-wise, people have different exleriences and if you're basing reliability based on forum posts well i hate to break it to you but there will always be a lot of reliability issue complains on any public forums and that goes for any bike. Ducs are actually less reliable than Apes. Apes are considered as the honda of the italian bikes although its not as reiable as the honda. Ducatis are more expensive as well as parts for repairs. Insurance costs more here too. Lots of complains about heat issues and and uncomfortable riding position when riding on the streets. However in saying all that. Do i like the Panigale? Of course I do. Its the most beautiful super bike in my opinion, that i can agree with you. Would I buy one? Hell yes I would! But only after I buy my RSV4 :P and if money fell from trees.

[@Shadow_Reyu]

Great video, Jaret. I especially love your honest review in the comment section. I've also been thinking about getting this bike to go with my 2012 Ninja ZX-6R. Looks like sex on wheels and the performance is sick, but just about everyone complains about the annoying heat and the riding position. Plus the damn thing is close to $17K! I should have very little complaints or need to do anything else, if I'm going to spend that much on a bike. C'mon Ducati! My other options are the ZX-10, S1000RR (hella pricey also) and the new CBR 1000RR. (Aprilia and MV Agusta are out due to the proximity of the dealer network). Anyway, keep up the good work dude. Loving the content.

[@JaretCampisi]

Thanks man glad you enjoyed it! And yes, thats exactly how I feel. At that price point, you should not have to invest more time and money into a bike to make it "rideable." Its actually a little absurd when you think about it. S1000RR I've heard is amazing so I hope to have a chance to try that out and toss it into the mix of comparison. Unfortunately the Panigale is out of the running for me...just can't deal with the ergonomics.

[@Texarmageddon]

Just for the record.... The new CBR BASE model is more expensive than the S1000RR ZX10R R1-S GSX-R1000 It is cheaper than the : RSV4 RR by $500 Regular R1 by $200 GSX-R1000R by $500 Ducati 1299 by $3,000 or so and I imagine the MV Agusta is around the same or higher than Duc.. Here is the kicker though... Add ABS to the new CBR1k and you are now More expensive than the YZF-R1 $200 cheaper than the 2017 RSV4 RR, but more expensive than the 2016 RSV4RR by a few hundred. $200 cheaper than the GSX-R1000R I'm not quite sure what Honda was thinking or should I say are thinking these days, but they are charging some crazy prices for their stuff these days. Only CBR that is priced reasonably is the CBR1000RR SP Base Model, ABS, and SP2 I don't know what to say about.. For your sake you better fall in love with the less weight the CBR has now and handling or it's going to be one big regret.

[@BrianMcCann421]

Love the video - love the bike - and well, don't need to mention the rest. Keep the good work up my friend!!

[@JaretCampisi]

Brian McCann love to hear that! Appreciate it 🙏🏼👍

[@JLC80]

Funny I come across this old video because I am currently looking at a 2017 panigale 959 for my first Ducati wanted to by a V4 but can't get the bank to go that high. I'll think it over a couple days and then decide I just hope it's fast enough &enough power because damn are they sexy looking machine.

[@bigfootforward6268]

I thought about the 959. I'm used to riding the liter bikes. I just bought a 16 1299. Best decision I've ever made. Although I love the power of my 1299 I'd have to say that frost white paint is way cool. I liked your vid and would have to agree with you on your comments.

[@JaretCampisi]

Bigfoot Tacoma oh dude congrats! I rode the 1299 and thought it was better than the 959 in every way. Congrats man. Hope to get one in the future.

[@AngrySkipperGC]

Y'know, watching you do this video really makes me miss my Hyosung GT650R. I was very close to blowing my budget and getting an Aprillia RSV4, but opted for the GSXR-1000 instead. I love the V-configuration bikes. Tried to VTR1000F which was disappointing as the gearbox was crappy. VFR800 was pretty decent as well, but wasn't really what I was looking for. Definitely wouldn't mind going to a Ducati 1099 (I'd want the single sided swingarm) or an RSV4 in the future.

[@Death666wish]

When she revved the bike I paused and went outside and gave my GTR a few revs and came back inside hehehe.

[@AngrySkipperGC]

They are great bikes!

[@Death666wish]

Angry Skipper They sure are! I'm loving mine, and not planning on upgrading, I'm already going too fast on this thing, and two and a half years later I still don't feel the need for more power! And now I've become attached to v twin sport bikes =D

[@SantanaTheeGreat]

Ducati 959 is beautiful! I love pretty much everything about the bike!! Even on the track it can put some good numbers up. The only thing about the bike that I had to get used to was the heat but that wasn't that big of an issue. I own both an 16' Ducati 959 Panigale and an 16' BMW S1000RR and prefer the Duck. Both amazing bikes, just preference I guess.

[@JaretCampisi]

Mr. Santana yep I've ridden both bikes and I'd take the ducati every time. Lucky man to have both. Haha

[@Real_MisterSir]

"..sitting in your garage" -what?! I would get that bike a personal spot in my living room! A true work of art built by dream material

[@JaretCampisi]

haha I agree. It's definitely one of the best looking bikes ever made...just wish it was more comfortable.

[@Real_MisterSir]

yea, I wonder how much higher clip-ons would do to the riding position

[@AJTalks]

Trust me, you need ohlins on everything regardless of weight or power. the Ohlins effect is real. Good review, man.

[@adamstratford6740]

Bro my personal feelings on sport bikes is if you don't track your bike really there is no real reason to buy a litre bike just for the streets the 600-750cc class have plenty of power and in my opinion are more fun and more involving than the litre bikes I advise you to try a Kawasaki zx6r 636 or the triumph Daytona 675r gsxr 750 or even the MV Augusta f3 there all fantastic rides all more than enough power for the streets but hey ultimately it's your 💵💵 and your choice I'm just throwing my opinion out there but whatever you get enjoy and keep safe bro ✌

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah I actually agree with you on the power...one of the main reasons I wanted a 1000 is because of the full color screens and all of the rider aids. I love technology and the thought of messing around with launch control, ABS, traction control, rider modes, quick shifting etc is just so freaking awesome.

[@mikeh7759]

I mean, It's not like you only experience the power of a Litre bike at 300km/h, the torque is evident throughout the revs. If we apply the 'practice' factor, then he may as well get a gsx650 or xj6 etc. But hey, that's just my opinion and I respect your too :)

[@adamstratford6740]

Mike H yeah that's cool would be boring if we all thought the same anyway everybody's different and good luck to jaret with whichever bike he ends up buying 👍🏻

[@danahawthorne5427]

Just fyi, this is considered a middleweight bike, because of the vtwin (or L - Twin same shit) this bike doesn't really have a race class comparison. It would get WHOMPED by litre bikes, and is a little heafty to run with the 600's. I walked an R6 in Morrison CO on 285 like it was a little biatch on my 959 in Race mode.

[@TheSaneRider]

Adam Stratford Totally disagree. Think the liter bikes make better street bikes and 600s make better track bikes. The torque on the liter bikes makes them much easier to ride around on the streets.

[@danahawthorne5427]

I bought mine in october and have 2k on it. I live in Colorado. This thing in the mountains on the twisty's is like nothing else. Great video. One correction. The motor got its bigger displacement and more power by lengthening the stroke of the old motor. So it is kind of a new motor for ducati, or it is a new motor actually. But other than that, I agree with the difference from Race to Sport being pretty large for sure.

[@JaretCampisi]

Oh dude congrats! Such a nice bike. So much character and absolutely stunning to look at :) And thanks for the clarification I know they did something different with the old motor, besides just making it bigger. haha

[@danahawthorne5427]

Yeah, it is a great bike. Keep up the good first ride vids. I subscribed to your channel.

[@Arcrobes]

I have the 2015 899, and absolutely love it. I always recommend the Panigales!

[@JaretCampisi]

What did you do about the comfort and the heat though?

[@Arcrobes]

The engine heat really only became uncomfortable durring the summer. Though, as long as you are moving the bike keeps cool. The position does get uncomfortable after about a half hour of riding, mostly from the engine braking putting stress on your wrists. But like before, as long as you are moving fast, it is very comfortable since your body is pushed up on the seat. In the end it is a track bike, or a street bike modeled after a track bike. It is gonna be happiest going fast on a flat track. If riding it as an everyday street bike puts a smile on your face then all the negatives are certainly worth it.

[@Arcrobes]

One more thing, I recommend wet mode if you are in traffic, or just rollin through busy towns. It makes things a lot more comfortable.

[@bruces12]

How did you manage to get such a long test ride. You must have had to leave your soul with the dealership as security! It's funny...I recognized all the roads you were on. Years ago I rode my bicycle on those same roads during a 50 mile ride for charity through Santa Barbara...so beautiful.

[@JaretCampisi]

haha I've actually established a relationship with the dealer since doing other first rides on their bikes and promoting their shop. And I was seriously considering purchasing the bike as well so I'm sure that helped. And yes Santa Barbara is amazing. Blessed to live here :)

[@dominiquedixon1064]

"OH MY GOOD GOD" HAHAHA HAD ME rolling bro hahaha

[@JaretCampisi]

haha my man :) Thing was a savage, that engine was insane.

[@ajtimothy]

Thanks for the review Jaret!

[@Death666wish]

They're bringing out an SS which is a sport tourer (even though it's called "SuperSport"!) so it has a much more comfortable seat and seating position.

[@JaretCampisi]

Yes I saw that! Will be interested to try that when its available for sure.

[@noahwayne3847]

I've got the 2014 1199 ABS S and it literally burns (leaving marks) on my inner thighs after a long ride. Turn the engine braking to minimum it helps with the smoothness. And switch the tires from the corsa2 to something that handles wet roads better. Save the corsa2 for track days.

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah I feel like that is really unacceptable as a bike you can ride on the street. If they are so amazing at creating such feats of engineering then you'd think they could figure out a way to prevent something that is pretty terrible. Gorgeous bikes though and the engines are great.

[@neilmcmahon]

Thanks for re-showing a Ducati in more detail. What about a Fireblade (with Repsol livery)?

[@JaretCampisi]

You're very welcome...pretty sad it didn't work for me. I'll be moving on to try out other bikes for now. I'm actually not a big fan of fancy paint schemes on bikes. I like the simple white or black kinda stuff.

[@isaacmarley5112]

ay crushing the uploads ATM :)

[@nirsweet7474]

Great review man! Personally , I'd prefer the BMW S1KRR over the Ducati Panigale because of the comfort level and the sick POWER (you can't go wrong with german engine)! (I don't like Aprilias in general, just not feeling connected to the brand but the RSV4 is nice) However, if you're patient I'd suggest you to wait for the new upcoming SUPERBIKES from JAPAN (Suzuki & Honda), should be insanely advanced bikes! Thanks for the footage! looking forward to see more of those.

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah I've heard great things about the S1000RR as well. I will definitely take that out when I have the chance. I did really enjoy the RSV4...it was fairly comfortable, handled like a dream and the engine was unreal. And for sure, I do like the look and updates to the Suzuki GSXR 1000 so it might be worth waiting to check that one out as well.And if you'd like to check out all my other motorcycle videos I've created a playlist on my channel so you can easily find them :)kzbin.info/aero/PLajCCJPKsDWyGTee1vO8s_oMGhqEaz9jO

[@JuliVR46]

Absolutely Love the way you describe how the Panigale feels, how the V2 feels, how it feels to Ride her. Finally I found someone who feels the same for a Panigale lol :D A Panigale maybe isn't the Perfect Bike for everything. But owners of Panigales are the happiest people alive :D Panigale is Love

[@JaretCampisi]

haha for sure man, the ducati's and italian bikes in general are rare and pretty special. I do wish the panigale was a bit more comfortable but got they are gorgeous bikes. Congrats on owning one...you're a lucky man :)

[@Siloghost]

"I feel like i just had sex!" 😂 thanks for helping me make up my mind bud🤙

[@rmr5184]

I owned a lot of bikes (Kawasaki Ninja 250, Kawasaki z750, Yamaha MT09 and actually a Ducati Hypermotard). The only bike which gave me a lot of problems was the z750. I had so many problems that I had to resell the bike for very cheap. With my Duc which I own since a little bit more than 1 year, I'm more than happy. It sounds just great (live much better than on videos) and it is very reliable. I make about 10'000km per year and have already 13'000km on it. Ducatis are all about emotions. A lot of people will turn their heads to watch at this beatiful bike. So if you really like it don't listen to fanboys. Bikes all have a certain price. If you can afford it, enjoy it. It will be like owning a small Ferrari.

[@JaretCampisi]

Right on appreciate the feedback...I probably would have bought it if it wasn't so damn uncomfortable and incredibly hot. Apparently there are things you can do in order to combat those issues but I've yet to have a chance to try them out.

[@1970PMD]

Sweet bike man, did you do any basic set ups as far as suspension? compression rebound and such to match your weight? I owned an 2011 EVE 848 and found the front forks springs to be on the soft side in relation to my weight regardless of preload. Eventually swapped out the springs for stiffer 1KG. Based on my opinion it definitely seems to be 80% track and 20% street use for me. Thumbs up and amazing beauty on both bike and girl :)

[@alexgomez9014]

Bruh did you buy it? Greatest bike I've ever had, the wrist will annoy you at times it could get very tiring but i really don't care, the beauty the power and the sound makes you forget about it

[@HooMeye]

Ducati Panigale is a true sportsbike. Who ever heard of a sportsbike being comfortable? I had a Duc Streetfighter 1098. Switched the high bars for clip ons. Much less comfortable, but much nicer to ride. If my behind hurts I took a short break, same with the whrists. Now I have a Yamaha MT-10, very comfortable and very fast. But I wish for a Panigale. Shame you didn't take the Panigale, I would.

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah I hear you for sure but I've ridden sports bikes for half of my life and although they aren't as comfortable as a cruiser or a naked bike, I still find most of them pretty comfy. But the panigale really took that to a whole new level....honestly it was to the point that I couldn't wait to get off the thing because my ass was numb and my wrists were breaking...

[@TheAbstracTSniper]

i knew the area looked familiar. I used to live a couple blocks from that beach! Nice bike btw.

[@JaretCampisi]

haha no way! Gotta love Santa Barbara :) And thanks, it certainly is a gorgeous bike.

[@willp9543]

I know its 2021 but i just got the same 2016 ducati 959 and yaw can hate but this bike is great ..only advice.if you not on track no need have it in race mode ..trust me its mad enough as it is ..and only if you've rode 1 do you understand the bike is mad..it sounds mad and you get into it.. it responds mad

[@ew4565]

I test rode the 2017 Ducati 959 Panigale today. I think this bike is my soul mate (in bike sense)....lol.

[@MrRc57]

Thanks for the info.Great video ,I decided to go with the rsv4 rf.Better gauges on the new rsvr rf.Similar to 1199 panigale

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah the 2017 Aprilia is literally getting every change I would have wanted. Its high on my list of bikes for sure.

[@MrRc57]

Me too..They said they took a full second off there lap times from 2016 bike

[@AlbertoBaranano]

The Panigale is an awesome bike, no doubt.......but if you decide to get an RR sport bike, I think I´d rather choose the Aprilia RSV4 or the more rideable and confortable (but no less fun) TUONO 1100 (which I actually own ;-)) .....and, if you are planning on keeping the GSXR, why not give a try to the Multistrada? It is a multipurpose bike, awesome for street riding, long rides too, and, when taking off the paniers, it has the nerve and the fun factor of any sport bike. Take care and ride safe bro !!

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah I think I actually prefer the Aprilia as well...I spent a few hours on the RSV4 and found it very comfortable and an absolute blast to ride. I've heard the Tuono is also great so congrats on that :)

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

2017 RSV4 RR comes standard with cornering ABS and TFT screen it will be a nice bike to ride :)

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah they made some amazing upgrades for 2017...its definitely high up on my list for sure.

[@motorjack141]

Hey man that's a good detailed review, are your jeans and shoes for motorcycle or are they just regular shoes and jeans? Thanks! :)

[@JaretCampisi]

John Kerwin See thanks glad you enjoyed it. These were just regular jeans and chucks. I normally wear rev'it motorcycle jeans which are amazing. Def check those out if you're in hr market. 👍

[@motorjack141]

Jaret Campisi i'm about to get Bull-it sidewinder jeans and TCX street ace shoes, which looks kinda similar to what you are wearing. I'm on a 2012 z1000. :)

[@antypasandreas8435]

Not that I would mind having a ducati, but I am completely content with my 2005 cbr600rr. Cost me 3300 bucks, so saved myself a ton of money on it as well.

[@JaretCampisi]

oh yeah those cbr600rr's are sick man. Can't go wrong with that. Ducati is a luxury brand but not necessary in my opinion. More of a dream bike then anything else.

[@antypasandreas8435]

for some, yes. But after a while, does it matter what brand manufactured your bike? I mean, they can do the same shit, they can both sound awesome. They both have tachometers lol, so I think you just get a bike that you fall in love with, you take care of her, and you will love her more then any bike out there, no matter what it cost, or what it looks like. Its "your" bike. Kind of like having a child lol.

[@JaretCampisi]

Antypas Andreas haha yea you're pretty much right on I'd say. However I do think there are some cases that are deal breakers such as insane heat from the unique exhaust or a very uncomfortable riding position etc. So I think it's important to share that kind of stuff work people.

[@antypasandreas8435]

agreed

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Nice review Jaret, you're like the US Baron lol. I'm considering one of these to replace my Kawasaki 650 ninja.. great place where you live ...greetings from UK subbed ya

[@TheCryptoHulk]

I bought a 1299 in April and my brother got the S1000r. He crashed his at Thunderhill Raceway in NorCal yesterday. I am gonna have him watch this video. He thinks he might not wanna buy a different bike.

[@smoovkr1m1n4l8]

The best seat for that Penigale is that comfort gel seat which is only worth 2 hundred and some change but sure is good for it on long rides thanks to mr. SnewJ moto vlogger.. 😉

[@tenglish655]

Love the video!!

[@JaretCampisi]

Hell yeah, love to hear that :)

[@AleesatheIsraeli]

A Ducati is like a Rolls Royce on 2 wheels. Always wanted one....they are beautiful.

[@MrM2Films]

If you're in 3rd or 4th gear on the highway, your clearly not an experienced rider unless you're out there racing everyone. You should typically be in the top gear most of the time to get the most fuel efficiency and least amount of engine wear.

[@JaretCampisi]

M2 Films yea you are correct for sure. However with the rsv4 and the 1299 being in top gear at 70 mph felt like the bike had no power at all. The rpms felt much too low actually. Even in 4th gear at highway speeds it was still only around 4K rpms. So I was just saying you don't even really need to use all the gears for normal day to day riding.

[@stevenmoffat5473]

awesome. why is does the white one cost more than the red ? I got the red 959. I love it.

[@JaretCampisi]

They charge more for the white...not exactly sure why. Could be that it takes more coats of paint and I know the white has a clear coat where the red does not on the 959 so that could reduce the cost as well.

[@stevenmoffat5473]

Had a feeling that was the case but wasn't sure. Ty

[@avishekkumarsahadeo4826]

hi bro, can you please do a calves workout video, explaining everything from sets to reps for sprinters and soccer because no matter how much i train or run, it never grows :) i`ll be very thankful :)

[@JaretCampisi]

My calves grew from sprinting. If you want to do lifting workouts in the gym for your calves, train them three times a week with sets of 10-20 reps. Do a combination of standing and seated movements and make sure you get a full range of motion. It takes time but they will grow if you stay consistent.

[@avishekkumarsahadeo4826]

okay thanks man :)

[@Mr.Storytime959]

I think still to this day the 2016 Panigale is the most sinister motorcycle to date

[@jrodninja081]

Ducatis suck for radiant heat under the seat...

[@landentessier6310]

Could you do a video on off-season football workout training for wide receivers and defensive backs.

[@JaretCampisi]

hmmm I did actually play football in high school and I can say I think a bunch of my track videos would be great for you guys. Stick to the speed and acceleration ones along with the plyo routine and the box jumps. They will all help with your speed and explosion which will give you a huge advantage on the football field.

[@tonysi87]

Was really close to buying the 959 but after sitting on the s1000rr and riding it. Had to go with the BMW hands down

[@JaretCampisi]

yeah i've heard many similar stories...haven't had a chance to ride one yet myself.

[@Balleknack]

Is this filmed with the stock GoPro Mic on the side of the helmet?? The sound is amazing if so!

[@Luftbubblan]

Nice bike, never had the honor to ride a Ducati before :/ Btw, what country are you in? Looks amazing

[@JaretCampisi]

thanks, I've always loved the Ducati's as well and only just started riding them this year thanks to my local dealer. We live in southern California. I'd say one of the best places in the world to ride motorcycles for sure :)

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

Panigale is the Ferrari of motorbikes: Before you pick up your new Panigale make sure they factor into the deal setting up the suspension sag for you it will drop the bike down by 1.5" making it really easy to flat foot for your woman and less pressure on your wrists (it is free on delivery but if you do it after delivery they will charge you money). After you setup the suspension by lowering the rear you will find it the best street bike there is :) trust me on that one i own 2 Panigale. After we set up our suspension sags on both bikes the rear dropped by almost 2 inches and in doing so it elevated the pressure on our wrists by 300% making our bikes so comfortable to ride on the streets. Don't worry about the seating position your body will get use to it really fast :) the Panigale is the sexiest bike on Earth and the shape is timeless because there are no other bikes that will even come close to its beauty - this means the Panigale will still look nice and modern 5-10 years from now. How are you setting up your mic? It picks up your voice and the engine so nicely !!!

[@JaretCampisi]

Oh wow thats good to know! And I agree, I think the Panigale is the most gorgeous bike every made. That riding position was pretty brutal though...and I'm not sure if a new seat and suspension adjustment would change it but that is great to know. I also didn't like how thin the gas tank was as thats where I usually hold on with my legs on all the other super sports and it gives me great control over the bike but on this one I didn't feel that sensation. And I'm using a sony mic in my right cheekpad. I put a windscreen on it and tucked it back under to reduce the wind and allow it to pick up some engine noise :)

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

Yeah the gas tank is a bit thin :( that's also the problem for me as well - i like the Aprilia V4 engine and the MV Agusta Fuel Tank as well as the BMW S1000RR mirrors. If you combine all those together on a Panigale shape you will have a perfect bike :) I am going to trade one of my Panigale 1299 in on a 2017 Aprilia RSV4 RR next year :) i love the V4 engine so much and now the Aprilia will get the TFT screen it is heaven made for me so yeah i will get that bike next year after i get my license back :) my license was suspended for 6 months and i got 5 months to go :) To be honest with you i personally think the Panigale is a girl's bike it is very thin and very elegant just like a woman :). I am too big for the bike being 5'11" with very wide shoulders i dont look good on it.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

Igot a feeling you're going to end up with 2017 Aprilia RSV4 RR :) it is a nice bike with TFT screen, slide ABS, cruise control, and shit loads more. I would have bought it but i already have 4 bikes and don't want to trade my Panigale in for a 2009 Aprilia shape.

[@renegadebiker24]

Jaret, that bike sounds like my bike, when I start it up. It sounds like a V4 engine, in my opinion.

[@JaretCampisi]

yeah I absolutely love ducati's...just wish they were more comfortable

[@renegadebiker24]

Jaret Campisi Oh, I was wondering if they were comfy or not. Have you tried the bike that I have? I think that it might be more comfortable than the Ducati, & I have had mine since it came out, but, I just wish that it was not overpriced as much as it was. It is not made anymore, but I think you will like it, or maybe someone in your family. There is a forum for the CTX 1300 that I belong to, and that I will have a CTX 1300 Rally on October 6th through the 8th this year . Mine has over 14,000 miles on It so far. If you want to see where I have been in the state of Arkansas, check out my playlist "Arkansas Tours" to see where I have been.

[@123kion]

sold my old r1 because of the weight on my wrists, couldnt hack longer than 10 mins without unbearable pain. I think you have to find one that suited to your ergos, this is often over looked when buying.

[@JaretCampisi]

yes i completely agree with you. Way too often overlooked.

[@aliandrei5967]

I want ot buy one in t the summer,..I hope to have around 12000! ofcurse.second hand! Maann I really love your comments, I had a Ducati 749 and I get exactlly what you mean, you have an artistic spirit witihin! love you! Good luck with your bike and have a lot of fun!

[@ace211]

Thanks for the honest review mate, this is definitely the sexist sport bike I've ever seen but i prefer the S1000RR. i would love to hear your opinion about the bmw.

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah I think for the street the S1000RR is pretty tough to beat. My buddy actually has a brand new one that he said I can take out for a first ride and review after the break in period so I'll be excited as hell for that video.

[@ace211]

looking forward for that video :)

[@irideaduck939]

I had the chance to ride a S1000RR on the track, hit 167 mph indicated on the straight ... when it got into the power it felt like the gates of hell had been unleash. With 1st gear hitting 80 mph plus you'd never need to shift ... what fun is that?

[@SadisticStang]

When your hairline is so good, you can wear Chuck Taylors to ride a sport bike.... now that's living.

[@kjt550]

How bad was the heat from under the seat? I've heard it can be terrible and it's the only thing stopping me from getting one.

[@JaretCampisi]

its pretty hot honestly...I think adding a comfort seat (that has a little more padding) and wrapping the exhaust would help keep the heat away from your ass and legs but its something that is there for sure and is not fun especially on a hot day.

[@kjt550]

That what I was worried about. I live in Dallas and as sexy as the bike is the last thing I need is more heat. You should test ride the new 2017 KTM 1290 Super Duke R.

[@MrRc57]

wow you went to penn state im from Pennsylvania. What kind of gixxer due you have .I have a k6 ,Im looking at panigales now and rsv4.Which one do you like more

[@JaretCampisi]

Oh dude nice! Fellow East Coaster :) I've got a 2015 GSXR 600. Loved the K6 look too. As much as I LOVE the look of the panigale, I just did not enjoy riding it with how uncomfortable they are. I've ridden both and I would take the RSV4 every time.

[@hfr8343]

Maybe test ride all the other liter bikes first before you buy. The s1000rr is still pretty high end even though it's not Italian. I think you'd look cool on a cafe racer.....thruxton r perhaps?

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah I do think I'll hold off for now. A bunch of people have been telling me to ride the s1000rr and I've got a friend who said I can take it out and do a first ride on it so that will be coming in the future. Yes I do actually like the look of the cafe races, I just didn't enjoy the performance. But now that they updated the thruxton, I will definitely take that out in the future.

[@hfr8343]

Jaret Campisi Should be interesting to see your reaction to both. Hopefully you find what you're looking for

[@delroycampbell5284]

Worth the money? I'll tell you it doesn't matter what bike you're testing out, you have no way of gauging it's damn value on a single test ride. A bikes value takes time to discern.

[@JaretCampisi]

Delroy Campbell for the most part I definitely agree with you. But I have ridden this bike before and spent an afternoon on it and feel like I had a pretty good idea of what the bike was about. Lovely to look at and great engine but I had issues with heat, the riding position was very uncomfortable and I had issues with the quick shifter as well. I feel like a bike at that price point should be able to perform basic functions and you shouldn't have to invest more money into the bike just to make it rideable. Just my opinion.

[@delroycampbell5284]

Jaret Campisi No I completely agree with the last bit. However, value isn't something assessed in an afternoon, you gotta live with that thing for a long while. I'm old, owned a lot of bikes. S1000RRs are sick, worth the money? Depends on you I guess, I say no, and I own one. I can get more bang for my buck on a Fireblade. But it's all really subjective. Just one last thing I guess. I would call no Ducati "worth the money" unless it's something you want for pure vanity. New they are fun, but once you get into maintenance, and needing to replace shit, oh boy, fix it and ditch it ASAP. But that only really applies to people that actually ride their bikes. Thanks for the reply.

[@JaretCampisi]

haha right on man, I definitely agree with you there. I always loved the way the ducati's looked but since I've ridden them I definitely don't feel the same way about them. They are unique thats for sure but I don't have the money to just blow on looks. I'm all about the riding experience and I really enjoyed the RSV4 a lot more. Appreciate the feedback and enjoy that S1000 man, another great bike.

[@delroycampbell5284]

Jaret Campisi It's nice, but a regrettable purchase. That doesn't mean I don't love the thing though.

[@paulooliveira3001]

ITs simple...That guys wants to go to the gym or to the bar by motorcycle ... ducati's was made to ride... after 160km/hr she is "confortable"..

[@talhashahid3977]

Dude please get this bike!!!

[@JaretCampisi]

haha honestly, I really didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. The riding position just didn't work for me and the heat was quite annoying after an hour of riding.

[@talhashahid3977]

Dang tbh I am just saving up to get a GSXR 600 and from your videos I believe you really like that bike.

[@TylerSavin]

The foot push off at 2:30 was cute.

[@Mind-Cep]

hey man, do you recommend starting a website when you first start as a youtuber who's into fitness? or do you think it's better to create a following first then take your time with the website?

[@JaretCampisi]

Its really up to you. There are plenty of sites now that make it pretty easy to build your own website. Weebly is what I used if you want to look into it. Square space is also pretty simple.

[@Mind-Cep]

Jaret Campisi cool man that's sounds good

[@sankarsh_aekbote]

Hey jaret.. quick question.. which one would you pick.. 1199s panigale or the 959 Panigale. confused which one to pick..

[@JaretCampisi]

I'd take the 1199s any day over the 959. Full color display, full LED lighting, Single sided swing arm, electronic suspension and 50 more horsepower. haha

[@abdoulkadirali7171]

How do you have so much bikes, are you sponsored or did you buy them all ?

[@JaretCampisi]

these are just first rides I do on dealer bikes just to give my impressions for others who might be trying to decide which bike to buy

[@robertortega32]

Theses new bikes are really nice but I love My 999R

[@jetr332]

I find it funny he rags on how tall the gearing is on a rsv4 and he only uses up to 3rd gear on it and you should be going through the gears because that's the fun part. Then does the whole log in 1st,2nd and 3rd gear lol

[@JaretCampisi]

haha well the RSV4 I could cruise on the highway in 3rd gear...on the 959 I could actually use 5th and 6th gear on the highway and be comfortable. Thats more of what I meant...especially since you can take first gear on the RSV4 to like 90 mph which is much faster than any legal speed limit so its not quite as road friendly as the ducati's that red line lower etc.

[@Doogerauoy]

The BMW S1000rr is more comfortable and has more stuff. But both bikes are nice. Go with what you want man.

[@kevinvanniekerk7558]

The BMW is no doubt the better bike but my god it looks like a gremlin next to the duke

[@davideascaniovisconti-borg459]

Well done, Jaret. Italian cars, bikes and boats are just like Italian women: it's a question of class, passion and emotions. That's why I'd never buy anthing else than Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Ducati, MV Agusta and Riva. L'Italia agli Italiani.

[@JaretCampisi]

Amen brother. Italians just really do it better :) haha

[@jaylinga4635]

seat was comfy after i broke it in 1k miles drove it for 5 hrs without wrist or back pain my only concern is riding this on summer time. i live in nyc

[@JaretCampisi]

haha Yeah I'm from the east coast (PA) and in the summer with the humidity and heat this is the last bike I would want to be riding if I'm completely honest. I feel like at this price point the bike really should not have to have things "fixed" after you purchase it...its kind of a shame really.

[@jaylinga4635]

i been looking around for the fix but they said the subframe CF cover fix the problem . other than the heat i love the bike so much it sleeps in my room lol . R u getting 1 ?

[@jaylinga4635]

btw the side mirrors are useless coz it vibrates a lot and doesn't fold which is bad for lane split

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

Don't forget you can't fold the mirrors so if you lane split you are in for a real effed up day - the mirrors cost almost $1000 if you effed them up.

[@JaretCampisi]

No I will not be buying the 959. I love the looks and the engine is pretty cool with the hotrod feel but the bike just didn't feel right for me from the ergonomics to the heat, etc. Still a great bike but just not for me. "it sleeps in your room" hahaha

[@jt40sti]

Hey Jaret, I know this is old but I have to say that I had a chance to demo this bike this year and I have to this is not for me, I have the most respect for you that like these type of bike but since I'm a big guy I have a hard time with everything like looking back and trying to look through my eye glasses, don't get me wrong i like love this bike only when others are riding it and I like to hear from others and say there option on the bike.....

[@JaretCampisi]

haha completely understandable man. I actually found it pretty uncomfortable when I first rode it as well. Definitely takes some time to get used to it.

[@jt40sti]

Sad story my bike that I have put in motorcycle shop for storage for the winter burned to the ground, I know it sucks.... but now I'm looking for a summer bike....

[@JaretCampisi]

JT 40STI Johnny IPSC damn I’m so sorry to hear that man. Thank god no one was hurt.

[@dereknunes6137]

Im 6ft 250lbs and the problem i have on sports bike's is my knees tend to hurt but on this bike i can tuck them in close to the tank but dont get me wrong long rides are tough but the sound and how the bike looks gets me through them lol

[@yubtypin]

We dont have the beach in Arkansas and my wifes overweight. Also my cb500x is pushing 47hp. But hey have fun. Lol

[@danielellexson4949]

you should do a first ride of an MV Agusta F3!

[@JaretCampisi]

Funny you say that...I was just talking about wanting to take one of those out the other day. Hopefully I'll have a chance to test ride one in the future.

[@danielellexson4949]

Yeah I hear their really awesome. Not sure if it could be a daily rider though. That's what I would want to know. Thanks for the video man I'm actually a big fan of your motorcycle reviews. Keep it up!

[@JaretCampisi]

Thanks man I really appreciate it! And yes that would be my main concern as well...usually when bikes are designed for looks they aren't as comfortable for daily street use so it would be something I want to know as well.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

F3 800 is a damn sex bike one of my female friends got one !!!!

[@陈逸飞-r2g]

Looks like it's in Santa Barbara?

What jacket are u wearing? I really like it!

[@JaretCampisi]

A friend actually gave it to me and it doesn't have any labels on it so I have no clue what it is...

Why would you buy a 959 when you can buy the lighter, faster, more agile big brother base 1299 for just about the same money?

[@pauls1814]

I have to ask, when people talk about the "character" of the Italian bikes, what exactly is that referring to? I've only ridden Japanese sport bikes and own a Gixxer 750, but after sitting on some Ducatis in the dealer I didn't think I'd enjoy riding something that uncomfortable. What am I missing?

[@JaretCampisi]

Its really only the super sports that aren't super comfortable. They are really made for racing so Ducati doesn't care about how comfortable they are for a street rider. The character that I am referring to comes from a combination of the engine (its the only v-twin super bike ever made) and from the craftsmanship as they really feel like a work of art. It makes you feel special when you ride them due to the combination of the one of a kind engine and styling. They are also not as mass produced as the japanese brands and you don't see them as often so that adds to the "rare" appeal.

[@pauls1814]

I get it. I'm guessing with that V twin the power kicks in a LOT quicker than on a 4

[@JaretCampisi]

Paul S dude that's the crazy part...I still needed to rev it out to get to the power band. It doesn't make peak power till up above 9k rpm and then you pretty much have to shift immediately.

[@pauls1814]

Wow wouldn't expect that! Guess I gota get one one and see for myself unfortunately I live in the northeast and bike shops don't do test rides here :-[

[@dimitrisa8042]

It sounds like the engine is stalling when you change from 1st to 2nd gear

[@llortllort1]

Nice video, but I feel it´s not quite serious to test ride a sports bike with sneakers or canvas shoes. Hope I´m wrong and that really is proper motocycle gear that just looks like street gear(?). However it´s important to protect yourself and to be a good role model for beginners.

[@JaretCampisi]

Yes they are riding gear that look like regular street gear. Pants are by rev'it, shoes are TCX. Glad you enjoyed the review!

[@famousmidnight]

Amazing bike and Beautiful model 8)

[@hamzazoaoui]

The best Italian bike you can get is an Aprilia Rsv4 Rf and put an sc progect exhaust on it ! and enjoy the music of your life !

[@JaretCampisi]

Mizof hzel I would actually agree with you as far as the sound goes but nothing looks as good as the panigale

[@hamzazoaoui]

+Jaret Campisi in terms of looks the panigale definitely steals the lights .. totally agree ;)
