[@DirceuCorsetti]

"If you are man enough not to go with the 200hp V4, this bike is perfect for you." Best words I've heard from a reviewer in a long time. Not all of us are street Rossis, some just want to go and have fun on a Sunday morning. I'd guess most of the riders out there are like that.

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Dirceu Corsetti Amd add to that a lighter bike too... I always Enjoyed the weight advantage of the “middle weights”

[@globallovers1444]

I don't know why I hate ducati bikes Yamaha is perfect

[@pierrebroccoli.9396]

Remember when MotoGP went to 800cc?? Yeah - they were faster on track than the 1000's Nothing about being a man at all, sometimes less is more.

[@SennaMadeF1]

D.B. I agreed! However this bike is actually heavier than the V4

[@lahwf125]

A ufc fighter could whoop any moto gp 1000 rider. Nothing to do with manhood.

[@elreydavid96]

First time I’ve watched a review from this channel and I really thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks look forward to seeing more of this channel 👍🏾

[@Showmetheevidence-]

It’s mad to think not long ago a 155hp engine was what the top litre bikes made. And now we’ve got a “middle weight” doing it 😀 (and a middle weight is over 900cc. Lol). Also I rode (& raced) 600s for a long time in the fast track day groups & regional races... you definitely don’t need a big bike for that.

[@iTxip]

6:51 Jason Statham spotted. Furious 44 confirmed.

[@rhapsodyrr7876]

44teeth in the house @6:48 😜

[@marscruz]

The American and British salute all in one. Nice Al. That's what we expect from you.

Funny finger from Fagan

[@daystate123]

Childish behaviour. Love it

[@GranTurismoJunky]

WAY better review than the other media outlets, real information about the riding while still retaining the spec sheet data. MCN and VisorDown could learn a thing or two from this. That out the way, the new V2 looks very promising to those who want a track day toy that is a bit sexier than it is purely tactile. I am one of those people, and I love this new generation of 959. Might need to fill the track toy space with one of these.

[@aimeYM1]

Nice review. Very informative & entertaining. What I like is that you didn’t just recite Ducati’ s marketing messages and propaganda. Instead, you dug, tested and delivered a very convincing road test. Keep up the good work. 🏆🏆

[@at0m113]

Totally agree this is a more sane bike for normal humans. Preach. And it's still freakin' beautiful even if it's mostly what we've already seen.

[@FoxPeaTwo]

I really respect your humble approach to your own riding as well as your great presentation of this review

[@horstbaur7797]

Excellent, honest street-level review that even I can understand. Good 'un.

[@quicksilv3r469]

its not a middle weight, it is a v2 liter bike. back 20 years ago, everyone was building on these setups (rc51,tl1000,996,rsv). this is just the polished version.

[@marlounbayari1288]

This is on my short list when selecting a track bike. I want a bike to just have fun, I'm not racing, or looking to being the best on track, and this looks to fit the bill perfectly.

[@danielturner779]

This is my first bike world review I've watched and very pleased I am too! Such a shame that superbike magazine isn't in the shops. Was always my go to.. Rather than fast tripe... Love the V2. Altho at 6"4 I doubt I'll fit on one! 😂👍

[@jhstony]

Lovely quick review thanks very much. Great video

[@paulelvins9066]

Yes at long last you got to ride the type bike your always on about when your riding some hipster type of bike, good on you another top review 😀

[@weareallconnected237]

I remember riding the Carl Fog replica 17 years ago. I think I'm gonna buy this

[@karlsumner5594]

Great review, lovely bike.

[@michaelhayward7572]

Not my type of bike at all, but as reviews go, John's layman terms reviews are completely understandable with your average punter. Kudos dude.

[@chr11sf]

Brilliant John, enjoyed that as usual and gotta agree I'd also prefer this beauty over the V4 for the road and even track...The hp war is getting a tad silly nowadays...

[@andrewg4412]

One of the best price/performance ratio mods for better cornering and turn-in is always a reupholster of the seat!

[@wolfalba1]

Se siente más delgada , saliendo de una r6 y una r1 pero por poder velocidad y agarre no tengo ninguna queja me encanta mi panigale v2. Tu video esta muy bueno, Saludos.

[@RoryMacdonald-pfff]

Good review. ... now, that Desmo ... 😉

[@ianwarren]

Bought one last weekend can’t wait for the first nice warm ish dry days !

[@jerryldavis1823]

Its a great mix of power and looks . I liked the 959 aswell.

[@mrmando69]

What an excellent review, thankyou

[@atastefortheroad4475]

John - very nice candid review. This things sounds superb - full Akro I assume. And I'm w/you 100% on the "mid-weight" argument.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Totally agree: I’m just not in to the bigger bikes. The middle weight versions always appeal to me more. And I’m a decent rider (middleweight club champion in US).

[@thomash5390]

The V2 is in my future for sure - hopefully they start hitting the shops early next year

[@WilmerDBatag]

Always been my dreambike since I was 16y/o. Im now 27. Soon, Lord willing #loveDucati

[@danduczy6784]

Well done man !! Dobra robota chłopaku

[@lasttraintovegas7189]

Nice review, subscribed thx

[@GarryMcGovern]

Funny to think this is now regarded as a 'middleweight' Sportbike/Superbike, when in power and weight, it is pretty much bang on with the old 1098. As a real-world proposition, I'd have this over a V4 any day of the week.

[@KODAKMOMNT]

Just needs an Akra exhaust nw what will they be worth full kit?

[@leeleo8575]

how about the heat? it's hot as 959?

[@CycleCruza]

The baby Panigale! Beautiful bike!

[@tough931]

Buy them

[@thuy515]

I needed that "man enough to not get the V4" bit. I'm in the market for a Panigale. Was thinking about getting a V4 over the V2 because more power, knowing I can't handle that power. Thanks, V2 it is.

[@Soulias1]

Great review. Awesome bike. Wish it came in yellow.

[@Tom_Hadler]

Can't believe Statham swore at you! What is the cool intro / outro music? (Had 2 false positives from shazam so far) Edit: NEW world record 6 false shazams: 1 full comp0 - bitume 2 markus goecke - J welmers minimal music for organ 3 Mr P.J - come back 4 Alan walker - faded 5 Wayne t Warren - I heard the voice of jesus 6 beat running - A to B 160bpm ...I give up

[@verdeboyo]

In 2022 this is an awesome and honest review. I would love to try one out on track

[@projectg408]

5:20 : “Look at that beautiful single-sided swing arm they’ve move to on this one” Footage: Shows rear sprocket

[@wegapaul3616]

I just got one of these. I absolutely love everything about it EXCEPT the heat is 220°C at your legs which means on a hot day you’re sweating buckets in leathers, and also the signal and mirrors are cheaper than anything I’ve every paid $20k for! It’s pretty cheap to change the mirrors to handlebar and shaved signals…but it’s a must for any owner for sure

[@wegapaul3616]

And please check out my KZbin channel for the features I put together about it

[@gmc3578]

nothing more fun than a twin!

what a wild new engine a v2!!!! Marketing all day

[@mdahamadali4671]

Panigale v2 🤘

[@vasilidesign7199]

Fantastic video but how this compares to the 959 corse ! The corse in my eyes still is the most beautiful midrange bike i've ever seen and in your introduction you missed the beautiful 749 :-)

[@kidda74]

Who's playing on the swing in the background? 😂

[@astronautonroad1]

Who else saw Jason Statham showing a middle finger at 6.50 ??????

[@crim7ind]

[@harishFx16]

Can someone explain whats the issue behind that he is mentioning at 7:19

[@albreezie7731]

O yes! Just went 6 to Midnight!

[@edhernandez6333]

My dream bike 😍

[@andrewarmstrong8651]

155 what do u need

[@shahrukhshaikh7727]

1) 200hp beast which can go 300km + but sometimes its a pain to ride in a city 2) 150hp beast which is perfect for city and also gives u the bragging right of having a fucking Ducati at a good price If am able to buy a leader bike am gonna go for Ducati v2 cuz I don't wanna be tired of riding my bike daily it might not go 300+ but I don't think u would be going that fast most of the times

[@636theofthebeast8]

That was a super solid review. Really hyped about this bike!

[@BigGingerful]

But is it worth the extra 6 -7k for a new one over a 2017 959? Single sided swingarm and updated looks are really nice but that's a big chunk of money.

[@sinancinar7910]

I'm starting to think the v2 might lack abit of the tourq I'm usto my 996 an I waigh 115kg I might upgrade to a 1098 or 1198 I think I'll keep looking into it v2 seems very good value tho

[@robbroy]

Great video but that damn MCAMS ad crash noise at the start is terrifying every time - I listen to lots of KZbin while riding and it always scares the CRAP outta me. :(

[@ragerider6283]

Nice review. Couldn't agree more. Less IS more! I would buy this for the road over the V4 every time.....if I had any money!

[@shaolin224]

Having a 899, stomp grips on the tank alone wont help much. If you look at your outside knee on corners, they are lowerthan the tank grips would be placed. So additional grips need to be placed lower on the body. A cheaper alternative to adjustable pegs

[@Budivedder]

I like it

[@EazyE11]

Why no AWS? 🤨

[@sk2283]

nice review, I'm looking forward to riding one !

[@justinsorci5998]

I really like the Panigale V2, but something I’ve noticed with Ducatis in the past several years is the exhaust note seems to lack the deep bass sound. My 888 Ducati with full race Fast By Ferracci carbon exhaust has an exhaust note that’s incredibly deep, and you can feel the exhaust percussion in your chest....something that seems to be missing with the newer Ducatis. It’s not necessarily an issue, and the Panigale V2 will run circles around my 888, but I still prefer the sonic booming classic Desmoquattro sound over the new moaning/groaning sound of the newer Ducatis.

[@Jessethetoaster]

😍

[@DonnieDesmo]

Pitching the rider forward is a good idea, I think. The 899 never felt as sporty to me as the 998 that I had before. I'd take the latter over a 748 anytime, btw.

[@armanmichelle7886]

1098 does have the iconic L twin and dry clutch..

[@mdahamadali4671]

I am going to buy it

[@lav1daloca]

This is the best bike ever

[@skandix]

Always enjoyed your reviews and this one is as honest as it gets. Great job. But, why the big HP bashing? Different bikes. Compare this to the GSXS750 or ZX6, r6........etc.

[@Terraceview]

To me it looks better than the v4. I don't know why but it looks cleaner.

[@wsbygt]

5:24 - "Pirelli´s Diablo Rosso Corsa 3" Come again????

[@iTxip]

He meant supercorsa v3

[@tosickristian7365]

Funny thing is that it is almost a literbike with 155hp and 955cc. Remember the groundbraking R1 ‘98

[@MrALIF2]

Tosic Kristian not funny coz its two piston not 4 piston...built for beginners easy to handle the power...if u need power more hp and for pro, semi pro go to v4

[@alexdinoiu4666]

I don't get the name of this bike... The Panigale V2 was a bike discontinued a year ago, it was $$$ and had a lot more power than this. Why release a new bike with the same name with less power than a supposedly older model?

[@fyorbane]

A 959 V2 "a middleweight", lol. I don't think so. Lovely bike though. The beautiful 848 was the last true Middleweight [or super middleweight as I call them] from Ducati in this class. When it became an 899 that became a superbike in it's own right.

[@Phantom.Q_]

So beautiful 😍

[@darvish2776]

848 and 959 are two VASTLY different feeling bikes. How do you say they feel the same? This is the thing with reviews.. it’s just one mans opinion with zero accuracy to others.

[@andrewg4412]

Having ridden them on the track, they are different absolutely, but what I believe he means is that after only a couple minutes you can kind of click and understand the familiar ducati feel for these panigale models. Yes they are different, but being the same line of bikes just newer you will tend to find a samey feeling pretty quick going from one to another

[@patryk996]

lol, skipped the 749, huh? ;D

[@Sisu2280]

You should watch the 44 Teeth review and do the math on why they have more views... Here's a hint... The V2 is waterproof.
