Yammie, what bike is a 10/10 bike?

[@90mx53]

I just built the lego set for this bike so I basically own the real thing now

[@paulcisowski551]

Hahaha 🤣🤣

[@vvkmn05]

I love Lego models of bike. I love to see your lego build.

[@PokerFaceFazo]

They have a v2 I have the V4R lego set

[@wangtv8598]

I will buy the white version today

[@LeeePowers]

"😆How much down? How much per month?"

[@AcuratecDE5]

As a V2 owner, this video nails it. When I was in the market to replace my 848, I had my mind set on a V4S, until I rode the V2. As a rider who does most of my riding on the street, it has the perfect amount of power, while still having all of the fancy electronics of the V4. Perfect all around street bike IMO.

[@rohansapha1608]

Hi Sir may i ask you a question i am going to buy superbike in india in 2 years but biggest problem i am facing is price I can get Panigale V2 but price is 23k usd S 1000 rr Sport 26k usd. Rsv4 rr 27 k usd 😂😂 Now what is best deal in your opinion

[@emberducati9237]

I still love the look of the EVO. The 848 looks like a Gundam on two wheels.

[@sarcastoid]

Dude, did you do any seat modification coz you know, the HEAT!?

[@boyobruh4934]

@@rohansapha1608 What bike did you ride beforehand?

[@boyobruh4934]

I would probably not get a super-bike in India and probably stick with going with a dual-sport bike or something. If you have club track membership or something maybe get it for fun but then you would have to also get a truck and other utility. Additionally, the chance of the bike getting damaged, broken, etc it much higher. This is coming from an indian-american dude btw. I've ridden in the US and India, both have their problems but unless you are a track guy or are able have been riding for a really long time, I would want to ride a really fast, flashy, easy to break, expensive liter bike everywhere.

[@Doudup]

I bought a V2 last year...and I can tell that the heat...is very convenient for the Winter season ! ;-) Great option Ducati to include a heat system ! ;-)

[@jdchav9383]

Lol, heated system built in standard

[@amcrchannel6045]

I disagree with the thought that “Ducati owners are going to judge you if you buy a V2” completely. As an owner of V2 since July, all I have received is compliments and praise from other motorcycle owners and Ducati owners. Several people have told me that I bought the right bike and they’re right. Having ridden a V4R it’s way to fast for the street and totally unusable. I agree that there aren’t enough aftermarket parts available, but hopefully 2021 brings more of them.

[@felipesilveira140]

I was crazy abt the Ducati v4 but ended up buying the v2 and I couldn’t be happier, beating cbrs,r1 left and right at track days

Beautiful review guys, proud owner of a 2021 V4S. A part of me still wants the 2015 899 that was my first love.

[@andrewthomas9974]

This may have to be my next bike. I'm not a track guy but I bet this bike would be a lot of fun on the twisties here in WA. The comfort factor is a huge plus. Thanks guys. You're awesome

[@KingJulienMoto]

Thank you guys, what a good review full of reasonable and logical points. Loved it!🙏

[@hectorallanrivera9334]

Really helpful for a guy that has worked hard getting older and would love to jump into a Ducati. Wish it had cruise control for those longer rides (not sure. why the V4 does and the V2 does not when V2 more "rideable"); that being said, nicely done video, thanks so much!

[@kimbud81]

Ive watched so many of your videos and they have been a lot of help. Im looking to get my first bike hopefully in the next year. Ive been wondering if you made a video on your vlog helmet setup.

[@AcatGaming]

I’m a 17 year old Squid and I got to sit on a Pinagale V4 R and I was shocked when I saw the size

[@gaugewire]

The simple fact the V2 is a v-twin is pretty much the best reason to get it and pass on the V4. Ducati is known for their v-twins and nothing sounds like a big bore v-twin. The way v-twins put power down makes then beautiful to ride. I can’t speak on how a v4 feels but I love that Ducati stuck with the v-twin even though the have branched off in another direction

[@MustafarRecRoom]

I went from a '16 R1 (insanity on two wheels) to a 959....loved the 959 but sold it to pick up a V2. Briefly considered trading up to a V4, but after taking one for a test spin, it reminded me of my days on my R1 where the bike was trying it's best to kill me. The 959 and especially the V2, is the sweet spot, IMO. Ducatis are special, performance numbers aside....the cachet of the brand also has value.

[@ardensix6322]

This is exactly why I didn't get the V4, I never enjoyed riding liter bikes for that reason. You sneeze and the front comes up lol.

[@RaceWithTime]

The bike at 0:25 (w/ Ryan Reynolds) is most certainly a Ducati. It’s the Paul Smart 1000. It was a 2006 model year only special edition of their Sport Classic lineup.

[@Desmodude]

So glad someone else noticed this 😣

[@creedm3040]

Gorgeous bike for sure! I want one. As far as the discussion on price. I think you should employ the “ Fun Index” . Where does a bike rank on the fun index . Then you have a true number on what the bike delivers. As we all know the smile you have when riding is the ultimate test. As Metallica says “ Nothing Else Matters” Happy New Year! Best!

[@6thMessenger]

I had a ‘95 monster. I think it had like 78 hp or something like that. It was fast AF. 200+ hp in a street bike is nuts. Even 150hp seems like overkill. I’ll take the v2.

[@jdchav9383]

It absolutely is. I rode a 200 hp R1 and was absolutely stunned but how much of the bike you are literally not able to ever see safety (and legally) 💀

[@rosco950ss7]

Test rode a V2 yesterday and absolutely loved it. If I I could own two bikes I'd sell my Dad bike (the Supersport), buy the V2 and then get some sort of naked street bike as well. But for now the Supersport will have to do the job. Sigh.

[@StevePhillips76]

Love the spaceballs reference!

[@coldmoonlight6361]

I was just about to say that, thank you for knowing. They've used the "plaid" reference in a few different episodes if I remember correctly.

[@gabrielbarcelos1226]

Another nice vid, papa Yam. But it seems that there is some unwanted noise with the mic system, a little distracting, but not that unpleasant, still tolerable. Sorry for nitpicking, and Kudos from Brazil 🇧🇷 \o/

[@Svm8250]

The Yam and the Spite, y'all are the best

[@mindwalkerpod]

If all else fails and peer status means so much, the v2 sticker can be removed. End of the day it's a beautiful red Italian stallion, the posterchild of modern rebel promiscuity. I would like to have one of these when I get older as a bike to simply look at and ride around in small jaunts. The only people that would care if it's a v2 or v4 would be people looking to put someone down. I doubt a mature rider well off enough to afford a v4 would bat an eye. Perhaps a new young rider that didn't pay for it themselves would be critical, but who should care what someone like that would have to say? Safe riding everyone n happy new year :)

[@amcrchannel6045]

Completely agree. I own a V2 and have never been treated differently in the Ducati community lol

[@TheHoosiers2008]

I get Savagegeese vibes here...which is a compliment as that channel is the best for car reviews. 👌👌

[@hauntedsiamesetwin]

You’re right. Very similar in quality. YN skews irreverent, but that also makes it awesome.

[@markchalloner5883]

Used to have a sweet '92 Ducati 750 Super Sport, back when liter bikes had 120HP max. It was severely underpowered by todays standards, but man was it fun to ride!

[@steveevo91965]

I had the “92” Super Light with 2 piece mg/al wheels, single seat only……a foam pad, carbon fibre front guard & dry clutch. I loved that bike, only a 2 valve, but; it had a nice meaty low & midrange. I wanted a 851 SP, but; couldn’t afford it. 😢

[@LordAnestis]

Ok, I really love the Superleggera but it's very expensive, the V4 is kinda expensive, the V2 is somehow more affordable if you buy it second hand so I think most of us will aim for that bike at first and then move to a V4. But the Superleggera is the dream bike.

[@chadgruver4423]

I love it when a sport bike review critiques the pillion, lol. Let's face it, if you put your girl back there you really don't care much about her.

[@benreed3939]

I’m not bothered by the crew saying I should’ve got the v4,I’m buying a v2 Bayliss for my birthday.mid life crisis at 46 or a big kid at heart.

[@Noony79]

Between dad mode and full on race bike is exactly why I bought one. Could afford but didn’t need 200bhp

[@onecookieboy]

I had an S2R 800 Monster back in the day, never regretted not buying the 1000. I tried the 1000 and frankly, it frightened me.

[@anandantony2056]

Happy New year pappa yam 😛

[@davesadventureshed208]

For me the type of person to get this Ducati is me! If I win it! Because I certainly can’t afford it.🙄 Happy New Year Yam and Spite!

[@turdherder_]

V2 or the 1199S/R?? with used market the 1199s or R is about the same price as the v2. In your opinion @Yammie Noob which would you choose?

[@ManAndMachine23]

I’ve got one,and I agree it’s the smoothest bike I’ve ridden amongst the many bikes I’ve had 👊🏻✊🏻

[@thitiwatroongruangmanirat8608]

It’s definitely a DUCATI.

[@GatorsFan2138]

Papa yam threw us a curve ball.

[@espaudio]

Not A Ducati, but THE Ducati. Paul Smart! I really hope you were joking otherwise credibility is shot...

[@mexicanfoodporn]

I am used to my 2011 CB1000r and tested the V4S first time last week... Sure, it is great fun but I don´t see any place around where I can make reason of that insane power, can´t even rev in 3rd because you are so much over any speed limit... I think the V2 just gives you the opportunity to rev while not hitting the sound barrier immediately

[@Rick1984FL]

highly highly considering this for my next bike... this or the newishly announced streetfighter but that white version tho...

[@noobgaming7030]

This bike is a piece of art

[@SateenDuraLuxe]

When are you guys going to review the Ninja Z H2?

[@paulacoutin8691]

Hey guys , quick question and I hope it doesn't sound stupid, but for a person who's his first sport bike is this a good bike??

[@jonathanlay8774]

i just purchased the v2 last month, it is an amazing bike also the parts compara to it is way much cheaper than the v4 lol! but still the heat is not that hot anymore you will get used to it imo

[@action4255]

have a look at ducatispacers, he had developed a diy kit to cope with the heat issue. will try it myself maybe in march or april...

[@jasonyoung5762]

I ride the 959, for anyone wondering what it's like, it's like a Daytona 675r on steroids

[@LanceLumbanPHI]

You nailed it. The riders who will ride this are the more knowledgeable ones. The fast riders do not want to ride fast bikes on the road. The V2 is rideable in the real world. People who judge other riders do not know how to ride.

[@SSS-mp8th]

I was going to get a Scambler Cafe Racer because I love the way it looks but then I actually did research and what you can get for $12k or a lot under $12k is astounding. For instance SV650X for under $6k, Z900 for $7.5k, GSX-S1000 $9k. Or hell Aprillia RS660 at list of $11.3k.

[@6223222nicky]

Can you review BMW RnineT someday? I have never heard it's mention in any video ever.

[@pilot9412]

0:01 My first bike! Lol loved that FZ-06.

[@mindwalkerpod]

I had an fz6 last year!!!! Lots of memories made zooming got it out of my system. Safe riding dude

[@russelldheilman]

First bike was 959, didn't know anything about motorcycles or that V4 was coming out. Traded it in for V4 year later because I wanted a literbike. Obviously wasted a ton of cash on the 959. Just buy the real thing or regret it forever. V4 is easier to ride in every way! And blisteringly fast! Not to say I don't miss the twin sometimes 🥲

[@Obi_Juan_Kenobi_]

0:26 it says in the top right corner "not a ducati but you get the idea" but it says ducati on they side

[@baldwinearl]

Well that's one hell of an intro.

[@roarkshsha]

Is there a solution to the heat from the exhaust? A small fan blowing the air to the rear? Could it work? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

just look for ducatispacers, he is offering a kit to help with the geat issue.

[@ducatiscottiev2372]

Anyone on here own or owned a 848 and went to the V2? I really like the 848 evo but maybe I should really consider the V2. The V2 cost twice as much as an older 848 but you get a lot more electronics on the V2. Any thoughts?

[@steveevo91965]

I know this is an old question & wonder which path you took. I still have my “12” 848 Evo Corse & don’t want to trade across to the V2 because it’s one of the last V-twin with a trellis frame, a Ducati lineage. I actually would love to add that to my 848, you get to have the quintessential Duke & then the new monocoque frame with the latest rider aids, with more power.

[@daniellang6112]

i will stay with my 09 1198s last of the analog models. looks and performance.

[@niklas1723]

Hope the next giveaway bike iss gonna be a S1000RR, that would be rad

[@joel-sq8uu]

Why dont you guys heat wrap the exhaust

[@FuryMotoWorks]

The answer is actually quite simple to Spite's question. The reason is Ducati bikes have a soul which you can feel when you ride one ..and the rice burners do not. 🤔😎

[@Sss12698]

I feel this was a very smart move by Ducati.

[@emil5459]

0:25 would anyone please explain how that is not a Ducati?

[@WeezyIsMusic]

I would dig deep into my pockets for a bike like that, but the heat issue is a big turn off. I am not sure if a carbon fiber cover would make that much of a difference. Can anyone share their experience with the heat shield?

[@action4255]

you can search for ducatispacers, he is producing a kit helping with the heat shielding.

[@VMKAROUND365]

[@reign9338]

Dream bike 🙂

[@derekeboyd]

It's all about the top shelf components off of the showroom floor. Not to mention braided steel brake lines, quality brake pads, and quality hardware they use to put Ducatis together. Back in the days when they were hand built, only women were allowed to build the motors because they would build them as if their children were riding the bikes, no joke. This philosophy carries over today. Not many Japanese bikes come with adjustable, let alone high end, suspension and brakes like Ducs do either and if you were to equip a Japanese bike in similar fashion you'd end up spending more than if you just bought the Duc. Don't get me wrong, Japanese bikes are awesome and offer fantastic performance for dollar, but Ducs really are a solid value when you factor in the build quality.

[@Toni62R]

The Pani V2 ist not like your first Ferrari, but like a classic Ferrari, you can buy even new.

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

Forget the Japanese liter bikes, (which would be less comfortable) and ask yourself if you're going for a long trip or all day ride someplace why you'd pay that much for a bike that roasts your nuts after 45 minutes and is almost impossible to find neutral? How about a choice between that bike or a brand new Hayabusa (seriously) which I'm thinking would cost a thousand or two less? Yes the Hayabusa is heavier, but on a longer trip the Suzuki will be much more comfortable, not just for a rider, but passenger too, ... and in the long run would probably be more reliable. Yes I am a Suzuki fanboy. lol By the way Happy New Year to everyone and ride safe in 2021. :)

[@rawumber2098]

when it come to price, most reviewers omit the fact that quantitiy yields cheaper prices. honda sold 17 million motorcycles in 2021, ducati 59,447, rarity has value that accrues over time. a thought to consider.....

[@broplzjuststop]

I have a 959 and definitely would not call it “easy”. It has one of the most aggressive seat positions and kinda difficult throttle control - it’s not happy under 3-4k rpm. I recently rode a new gen s1000rr and it felt like a scooter it was so easy compared to the 959 (obv i know it’s faster).
