2018 Ducati Panigale V4 Prototype: Quest to Ride the New Superbike - ON TWO WHEELS

Ride an 851, a 1299 Final Edition, and take a special trip to Italy to see Ducati’s Panigale V4 superbike in action and being built.
--
A new Ducati superbike is a rare thing. It's the motorcycle equivalent of a flower that only blooms every five years or so. For our team here, living and breathing in two-wheel fandom every day, the prospect of a MotoGP-derived four-cylinder Ducati superbike was (and is) exciting. With each rumor, leaked photo, cell-phone video, and small announcement, we chatted and speculated over what the bike would be like to ride. What would it sound like? Would it be faster than a 1299 V-twin? You might say the obsession grew to a point that we couldn't stand.
Half of an invitation to go to Italy and see the new Panigale in action was all we needed. We took a tour of the production line (which any guest can do, by the way), and soaked up an impossibly drool-worthy lineup of museum superbikes-851, 916, 999, 1098, 1299, and the new V4 all in one room. Nothing brings out the little kid in us quite like being at a motorcycle factory. Then the main event: swinging a leg over the very prototype that Casey Stoner rode to help the factory develop the new platform.
We brought cameras along so that we could share the experience with everyone we know. Hopefully the video above brings out the same unusual, adolescent level of enthusiasm that only the most special flowers… err, motorcycles, can really summon in all of us.

Ducati has shown a lot of trust to you guys, congratulations to both...

[@janitor7176]

Almost feels like top gear in the early days, want more of that!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Fantastic!! Unsure what to be jealous about more - The 851 or the prototype! Awesome stuff!

[@javid8789]

PowerDrift waiting for your review guys.. with love from tamilnadu

[@Jaykayrajput]

PowerDrift ayeeeeeeee my boiiii

[@javid8789]

It would be a awesome addition in game of performance

[@yahitajam7944]

wow

[@anything4tech699]

Talk about ducati trusting you with a prototype in those conditions....

[@afletra]

I was thinking the same, zack must be a really well known reliable rider-journo, haha... and Motorcyclist Magz reputation too

[@anything4tech699]

R i v a l r y R i d e Right i mean its 1 thing letting your best friend ride your bike let alone a prototype that nobody can get their hands on

[@e.rod.moto.]

"Casey Stoner here just reporting for duty". I'm sure that's exactly what he says. hahaha ;)

[@alzappa1]

Thier new lvl of editing hahaha

[@CamDurbin_au]

Nice try on the Aussie accent mate.

[@ImranPangilinan]

2+2 is 4 minos 1 is 3 quick mafs

[@JohnnyWooh]

i'm just happy this comment got more likes than Jaret's lol

[@coreyconachan2553]

3 cylinders... mmmmmmm triumph

[@future62]

I went to the Ducati factory on my honeymoon (along with the Ferrari and the Lamborghini tours) and it was quite the pilgrimage. Next time I go I would love to rent a bike and do a track day at Mugello. That would be the dream.

[@snakerb]

future62 never cared to go to Italy till I read your comment. Time to start planning my next trip

[@minatormyth]

I go to italy every year, drive down after lemans in one of Maranello s finest. Last year i to went to the ducati factory. It was one of the better tours along with the Pagani factory tour. Recommended Were as The MV agusta fatory was a let down, wish i had not bought one.:(

[@LucyFire7]

Its so beautiful, even it's a prototype. Thank you for all effort you put in this video ;)

[@JaretCampisi]

Words cannot describe how incredibly jealous of this experience AND how happy I am that you were able to share it with us. Any step that moves Ducati towards understanding the importance of the KZbin and social media world in selling and getting information into the hands of its fans and riders is a step in the right direction for me. Well done guys. 👏👍

[@bidhanphuyal466]

Jaret Campisi cammmpppiiissiiiiiii

[@JaretCampisi]

Bidhan Phuyal haha yea buddy!!!!

[@JaretCampisi]

aluisious good to hear. I had heard a rumor that Ducati corporate thought print media was going to make a comeback and didn’t respect the KZbin community...

[@afletra]

planning to get a new *cough bike *cough bro? XD

[@JaretCampisi]

I already announced that I ordered the Speciale at the NYC motorcycle show :)

[@samlyles8248]

O2W is seriously my favorite series on all of KZbin. Zack & Ari, keep up the great work!

[@AmTheNser]

awesome video as always, i think these videos are the highest quality motorcycle vids that are out there on youtube

[@650ib]

Excellent, Great and FANTASTIC video!!!! I'm looking forward to collecting my V4 Speciale in May!

[@Headgear]

650ib thats awesome! looking forward to watching your videos on that beast

[@prasunbhowmick7243]

Need a unboxing video, please 🙂🙂

[@samuelfitzsimmons8907]

Fuck yeah!

[@captaincomrade8056]

Please make Dan get one

[@menom7]

OMG 650ib...........like all the OTHER commenters to yours here,we all *REQUIRE* (NOT "could you please? " NOT, "would you please"........) No,No,NO...........THIS is an ABSOLUTE *REQUIREMENT* to your KZbin channel here,that YOU *MUST* (without ANY exceptions whatsoever),You MUST video this bike the very SECOND You get your hands on the grips!!! Capeesh??? LOL.

[@sumi7065]

at least the rain gave it a really cinematic look, great vid guys

[@afletra]

damn you guys keep getting better and better each videos, and zack, damn you ride the prototype only a few have tried! haha...

[@Pillokun]

Then you should have seen the videos they made under twowheels brand, especially the 1000 and supersport comparisons. They were so damn good!

[@afletra]

@Pillokun I wouldn't say they're "keep getting better" if I haven't watch all of their videos all these years. isn't that obvious? haha...

[@Pillokun]

R i v a l r y R i d e That is my point, they were doing pretty good content already therefore it kind of is a bit rude to say that they are getting better and better each video as if they were noobs in this field, especially if you have not seen any of their earlier stuff.

[@afletra]

WTF, a bit rude??? LOL...c'mon dude, it's a compliment. is it so wrong to say someone getting better just because they're already good? is it no room for them to getting better just because they're already good??? that's just a really stupid way of thinking. I've been watched their videos since On Two Wheels were in Motor Trend channel, so don't even talk about "earlier" to me :) I don't even understand why my compliment to them become a useless stupid debate like this just because of your own wrong interpretation of it.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Quality of the content you guys are putting out these days is through the roof. Well done! Loved watching this.

[@ND-mq4dd]

Wow amazing video! I’ve been to the museum myself and god damn i nearly passed out a couple of times! Such a stunning display of historic bikes. Im also blown away by the quality of this video and that you actually got to film this for us, cant imagine what it must be like riding a v4 panigale in Italy! Stuff of dreams...

[@fzlsalim]

Absolutely phenomenal! Really enjoyed. Cheers!

[@amirulhafiz9578]

Can't wait for the production bike first ride video.

[@maprow]

Great video! Nice to see an 851 still on the road. I remember when those came out and being blown away by how cool they were (and still are!). The bow to the 916 was funny, yet somehow totally appropriate. I can't believe my Scrambler was designed by a guy who was in his mid-20's at the time. Keep up the great work and looking forward to a full review of the v4 Panigale or an MC Commute on it.

[@wallymurray620]

As always, great video guys! Love them for the entertainment value as much as the info, keep them coming.

[@trwilliams22]

This is my favorite video of MM so far. So well put together. I love that you started with the 851 and included a clip with Domenicali. Excellent job!

[@RogueMogul]

Very entertaining! You guys continue to raise the bar of motorcycle journalism.

[@russybignuts]

Not when they say both bikes share Belt driven cams - 1199's and 1299's have cam Chains!

[@bsmukler]

Thanks for the first inside look! I can't wait to see and hear it up close.

[@Kickassdave]

You guys could be the "Grand Tour" of motorbike shows. Keep it up. The videos area brilliant.

[@fouadchakhtoura]

Amazing Vid guys, got the chance to test ride it and it was a blast!! Nice content/filming and above all filming. txxx

[@oliviermaresch4395]

Multo benne video guys! Great story, humor and angles. Love the production! Keep it unique and innovative on this professional level!

[@mithinwilliam3321]

This video reminds me of a special review of 2014 josh hayes yzf R1... really good to see another amazing episode on two wheels... awesome you guys both... 👏

[@motonoob5485]

this is one of your guys best videos ever. Great job! I could watch this all day. I didn't even care that you didn't get to unleash the beast but it was still an awesome video and you guys make it.

[@corujariousa]

I really like your videos guys! Interesting, relevant and always delivered with professionalism. Keep it up.

[@orangelion03]

Excellent video gents!! Every new one an improvement. Thank you!!

Great video! You guys are so knowledgeable and articulate. Perfect blend of entertainement and education. Thanks again!

[@jakebelmonte8443]

Hey guys, love your content! Just wanted to say, even though you didn't get to rip it open, the cinematic that you produced with the slow motion rain hitting that slick ass prototype. Wow, my new favorite motorcycle shot!

[@raulblancogarcia4279]

[@BigBratJ]

This video was so awesome. I was so happy I was about to cry. There are some motorcycles that make you happy even when watching other people ride them.

[@thomasdixon7152]

Fantastic story of your passionate trip to steel a test ride! Love the intro. I took delivery of number 450 FE a few weeks ago

[@markkuuurainen7190]

[@paulocarreiro5855]

Thank you so very much for this!

[@miamijag]

Thank you guys for a very entertaining video. Love the fact that Ducati, let you in and allowed you do your "creative stuff". Should have done a full length movie :) Congrats to everybody involved in this.

[@Ayzill]

I enjoy these videos so much! please never stop :D Greetings from Norway

[@disekjoumoer]

Damn, you guys are great! Very charming and sweet video and all my hats off to the people at Ducati as well. Makes me feel like wanting to buy a Multistrada.

[@4homen]

Dream tour inside Ducati factory!!! Excellent video.

[@BritishBikerPhilippines]

Fantastic job, you nailed it and got a 'sit down' with Domenicali. Rocking!

[@Reapwhatsown]

Nice Job guys! Always entertaining and informative.

[@1275porsche]

That was awesome, so well put together.

[@haszoka]

I didn't even notice who's video was this when i clicked but as soon as it starter and i heard Ari's voice i realized what was it and how high quality this is. That's how you knew quality content. Ari talks=High quality content (+always fun to watch)(+Zack's super cool too)

[@dasteknoviking]

Loved the comedy in this video. Top notch work guys. Keep em coming

[@RJCpt]

I really like your videos whatever the bike, they're brilliant!

[@tinuheiniger9706]

Wonderfully good video full of funny and interesting information.

[@TheScortUK]

Really enjoyed this video - you guys weren't the typical "this is soooo sick" Americans reviewing a bike, so that helped hugely :-D Subbed.

[@abymathew295]

I just love the reviews when Zach and Ari doing it together....The best in the world.

[@spktylr]

Best part of this vid is seeing the new dash. That shit is awesome! Shows that a traditional tach is always best, but incorporating it into a beautiful digital layout is phenomenal.

[@24skreddan]

Great show guys. Epic episode. 👍🏻

[@dukedaz8920]

Amazing vid lads cheers more please 😁👍

[@christians131]

My first trackday was in conditions exactly like this. I wish it could've at least been warm but I think you learn more riding in these conditions

[@map7783]

love the videos since the early years, you should have your own tv show. topgear of motorcycle🤙🏼

[@huzzberg2833]

Flamin Heck mate...That's the best bloody Casey Stoner impersonation..

[@vietkid20062007]

This was a great video, I enjoyed it very much. Funny!

[@vitornunes7041]

Awesome video!!!

[@UncleWally3]

Wow, if I were a rich man, a young man, a highly trained and skilled rider with easy access to a track! Alas, I’m not, so I’m more grateful than ever that Mr. Honda gave us the 90° V-4 VFR. Over many years I’ve owned and ridden most all the engine configurations; but there’s something magic about the 90° V-4. And, at 66 years old, I can make a few tweaks (bars, pegs) and I’m still able to comfortably ride the VFR without mocking the reason the bike’s produced. But yeah, the Ducati does look wonderful . . .

[@davestafford8560]

Well done fellas that was very entertaining.

[@rockyp3917]

Absolutely loved the documentary style video for the great Ducati V4

[@DonnieDesmo]

Put a 916, a 999 and an 1198 in between and you've got yourself something really special to look at. Very cool video! Shame about the conditions on track.

[@DimoDimov1]

The new format is incredible! Well done guys

[@ChickenStripped]

That was an excellent video. Have my like.

[@HJM1974]

Nice video guys !!

[@beamdoctor5637]

Zack your Italian mission even with rain didn't fail, I call it "the scouting recon part." Totally fine for weapon analysis. Now send Ari to Italy to complete the mission!

[@matthewinsydneyful]

Awesome Video 👊✊️You guys deserve a million subs.Sydney,Australia.

[@novasuperbiker6392]

Great vid!

Awesome video !!!!!!

[@motosurge]

Absolutely awesome that you guys got Domenicali in this. Great video!

[@DmytroKarataiev]

The show is getting so much better!

[@mk6six]

twin V twin :-). Sounds awesome.
