With the V4 hitting the markets Ducati is saying goodbye to their old 1299 Panigale. Before they are out the door I wanted to throw a leg over a 2018 Ducati 1299 Panigale R Final Edition and see what sort of bike Ducati is getting rid off. Spoiler alert...ITS HOT!

[@Dylzhaar]

These L2s sound so much better in person. I once saw a 1299 superleggera go past and it was the best noise of any kind I’ve ever heard in my life. It was just going past at 30mph but oh my lord it was beautiful.

[@JaretCampisi]

haha yeah the twin panigale's are not very fun unless you're riding fast on open roads. Normal everyday traffic is pretty brutal. I will say over time you do come to love them and all their quirks

[@tnelliott2447]

They are raw and beastly I love the Ducati feel Most are too obsessed with all the creature comforts but want it in a sport bike package , I don't get it I want my sport bike to be unleashed and kick the shit out of me when I ride it If comfort is what people want then sell the bike and go buy a" ugh" and forgive me for saying this but people should buy a car,

Everything this guy described is what makes v-twins so special. What nearly all people don't understand about the Paingale cooling system is that it needs high revs to cool effectively. The coolant pump is an impeller design working at a ratio equivalent to the crankshaft speed. Low revs mean low coolant circulation. That's why the Panigale engine temps spike when you coast or hit traffic. It's actually a great design for a race bike. The harder you ride it the more effective the cooling system works but unfortunately it means slow road riding causes temps to spike quickly. Painagle can be made into great sports tourers by adding some water wetter, winding out the pre-load front and back and setting rebound and compression to softest. Buy the comfort seat and add some heat tape to the bottom. Good to go for 200-300 miles a day easy.

[@richardroyse1145]

Late Apex great tip!

[@tnelliott2447]

Great bike So many haters on here I love my 1299 It’s a motorcycle People whine about comfort or heat or hand warmers and all that If you want a comfort Then ride a goldwing or better yet sit on the couch at home and pretend to ride and make comments all day on you tube The 1299 is exactly what it was designed to do Go and go hard Its raw and beastly Most say I’ll stick with a GIXXR or bmw What do you think those bikes are ??? Race and or track bikes as well I applaud Ducati for making a bike that not everyone will like or afford Hell I remember Ferrari made the f40 It was praised for being a weapon yet it had no windows to roll down no air conditioning and hot as hell to sit in but hell it was a animal pure and raw The F40 like the Ducati 1299 is made for the few ; a ungodly mess but blended just rough and tight enough for the few that are not quite Rossi and not a cruiser rider either Just ride the thing I know I do

[@jonasholm8062]

Absolutely cannot wait for the season to start here in Norway

[@brandonnott3695]

V4S hands down, it seems like the kind of bike you could have a blast riding to the track, kill it out on the track all day and then still enjoy riding home. The final addition needs to be trailered to the track and back home

[@crjmoto]

Agreed

[@RackTheMilesWelding]

Depends on the person.

[@jesseparbhu6125]

I love all your 1st ride keep doing them plz. Bike sounds wicked

[@dsabbr]

QUALITY VIDS!!! thats is why i like your channel

[@thomasdixon7152]

I chose the FE over the Speciale. Couple reasons , Ducati is L2 , I look at it like the end of the big blocks. No more monster torque. The machines are amazing. You dont buy a big block 69 hemi cuda because of its amenities or a 67 big block vette because it is refined. That L2 has attitude. That FE will also be a collector . They made 1299 of them as a commemorative a dedication to the winningest engine from any other motorcycle group. Ducati built their company based on that engine. No thst bike is not nice , it is not a drive around town machine . it is a back road, no traffic hit it or leave it alone machine. Track focused, yea sir. This bike will make you feel alive in so many ways. Want practicality, buy a BMW

[@lateapex9420]

Well said Thomas that's exactly why I love my 1199s.

[@johnanderson9193]

Yes so true Thomas" that is way I Love my 1299 FE. :)

[@thomasdixon7152]

@Peter Pan i keep the stick exhaust on bc several tracks require db levels to be kept. I also have a R which wont pass the requirements

[@gerodevans2541]

I brought a panaigale 1299s for my first bike I love how raw it feels . Imo the bike rides the best and smoothest in race mode .. the faster you ride the better and smoother it feels .. he’s right the slower you ride the roughest it will feel .. takes getting used too I love mine

[@chyeaboii]

lol i love that little giggle chase does after he launches on the highway 😂

[@Slayer66037]

Gettin pretty close to 1million subs congrats c2w

[@gz4789]

The 1299 is a beast and not for the average rider. It was built for one purpose, speed, not comfort or cruising...the V4 is much more forgiving IMO. I own a 2017 1299s and I prefer that one over the V4 because I love the raw power of this bike...every ride is a learning experience but keeps the smile on my face. If I want to cruise and be more comfortable, I switch over to my Monster.

[@kenlucamensi5464]

Best V2 EVER....i love this bike,this sound...😍😍 Always FORZA DUCATI 💪💪💪✊✊✊

[@SuzukiC41]

The SV650 has the best v twin if you ask me. It may not sound the best, but it's the best overall engine

[@altypeRR]

The induction noise when you opened the throttle is mental. What a bike.

[@chasefrank4079]

Hey chase absolutely love this bike, keep up the great work. Also it would be awesome if you could do a first ride on an Aprilia rsv4, or if you could get your hands on a Honda rc51

[@jeremyh5033]

If possible, can you do a first ride on an Aprilia rsv4?!

[@mjfox1190]

Wow, those shots from the car...that is a handsome motorcycle.

[@This_Is_Not_My_Username]

Could you do a sound check to where you're actually either doing a drive by or put the microphone/recorder on the bike and do an on-board sound check there? Bikes usually sound way different when they're actually being ridden than just sitting stationary in neutral.

[@chaseontwowheels]

The point of the sound check is to hear the bike sitting and reving. My helmet setup captures the running noise really well. I'll look into an on board option though.

[@coreyshortland2074]

Hey Chase! Love your videos and I know how much work goes into these first rides. I'd love it if the filter was turned off for the video though. To get a real world interactkon with it. Cinematics with a heavy filter, is great :) Just my 2c Have a great day!

130th like lol hahhaa chase I bet you will do a first ride of a Panigale V4R next!! You're definitely into the panigale game again!! So swweeeeee

[@thomasdixon7152]

That plus and minus is so you can change settings on the fly while on the track . Three settings can be changed, you need to set it to one. One of them is wheelie control , second is traction control , the third is abs

[@ferchotipin]

When are you going to do a First Ride on an Adventure Bike, something like the new 1250 GS... Awesome content BTW...

[@Kickassdave]

You need to be progressing the throttle when you upshift using the quickshifter on a Ducati (if it's an otherwise similar bump you feel to an 899 - unless of course they improved it), but that might explain why you think the downshifter was better. Also, I rode mine to work for months almost every day. It's not too happy at low revs I'll admit, but brought a smile to my face every day. I probably wouldn't take a bike like the one in the video to work though. Far too beautiful.

[@jim091392]

The quickshifter for upshifts you have to be higher in the revs for it to be smooth, try full throttle next time it will be smooth as the autoblipper.

[@ToxicChillz]

I love all bikes in my opinion. They are all great and made for different situations such as street or track. I have owned a Kawasaki and Suzuki and they are the only brands I will ever buy. Don’t get me wrong, a bike such as a r6/1 is a great bike but it doesn’t fit me because of my height etc.

[@bmwrider1931]

Chase ur videos are great. Sorry about getting into it with that guy who started war on ur channel. Some folks need to think before they start talking BS. Keep up the videos.

[@Jouster120]

Hey Chase have you ever considered doing a first ride on an Aprilia Tuono?? One of my favourite bikes out there I'd love to see what you think of it!!

As someone who owns a 1299, I can relate to the heat feeling like satans horse. Wait until you get stuck in heavy traffic in 95 degree weather.

[@masonjames123W]

Niiice Super Sport Bike throughout

[@oneonlyxram]

So is this your first time on a 1299 of any kind? You can change the amount of engine braking, and tone down how much it intervenes. So the 1299 and 1199 hate 3000 rpm, therefore city streets suck, you have to be around 3rd or 4th most of the time. In the race mode you can adjust the layout, change the lap timer to lean angle and put the speedo in a better place. I do think the older pani's are much more difficult to just hop on and feel confident on. Owning all 3 generations of these is great to feel how they've progressed.

[@HooptieDoodle]

I am not so sure about the side-mount rear shock. I have heard others say it rubs the leg, which can be uncomfortable after an hour or so. I do love the way the shock looks though :)

[@ThemadViking793]

Well, I'm 185cm and I got 7k km on my Pani. I never even touched that rear shock.

About Time for 60 fps on first rides may be.

[@chaseontwowheels]

24 fps tell I die son.

[@tuyenhoang5546]

60fps make the ride looks slower than it is. 24fps is better here.

[@Motive8Pro]

chaseontwowheels can’t blame you there!

[@Zalonka]

V4R actually. Because it's a similar price, has the same wow factor that the FE R has. Yet is better in every way. It's also a WSBK race homologation.

[@RJ-su8wk]

It’s a R spec Ducati...aka a street legal race bike. It is built for track days. It’s the last V2 homologated bike made by to Ducati to be a force on the track. Look up or google homologated if you don’t know what it means. You buy this bike for what it was designed to be and to own a piece of history, not to go cruising around town on.

[@trevorwotring3945]

I don’t like the sound at all in my opinion

[@darraghburke3712]

I agreed with you up until he took it out onto the highway were he floored it. The bike is a track bike and us not meant to be in such so low revs haha.

[@vascopalha]

Yeah, it sounds like shit in the lower revs, sounds plasticky, but on high rpms its fucking godly

[@golfnerd3107]

as an 1199 owner I can say that there isn't a single video on youtube that captures what they actually sound like. Just like old timey radio mics made presenters sound weird, there is some frequency that isn't coming across.

[@equalizer4633]

Twins always sound bad on video, but when you hear one irl, they blow your mind!

[@tuyenhoang5546]

It's the ducati thing. Sounds like shit on video but in person it's absolutely insane. Except the V4 cause it's the opposite lol

[@PradhumanRehal]

This bike is probably the last one of its breed.

[@iblongshia]

Love my 1299 S. The heat is not that bad around town, just have to open your legs a couple of times to let the air cool you down. The 1299 is the best and last of it's kind. I find the 1299 much much sexier then the V4s. Park the "S" model 1299 and V4 next to each other and the 1299 is soooo much more sexier in my opinion. To each his own. Wouldn't mind having both bikes.

[@queenakbh]

Such a beautiful bike! Too bad it's so damn expensive...
