2025 New Ducati Panigale V2 vs Yamaha R9 ┃ Meet the R9 killer!

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Heart says Ducati. Head says Yamaha.

[@AAKhanivore]

Ditto. I currently own a Monster 1200 R and had a 748 evo before. Seems I tend to go with my heart.

[@Schmitzelhaus]

100%

[@albertohart5334]

Keep in mind that pricing was base model to base model, but the r9 is competing with the higher v2 models, so the price difference and probably reliability makes it a no brainer

[@rafaellastracom6411]

A very tough call, both are great. Nevertheless I will stick with Japan.

[@SecondGearYT]

Yeah, you're basically getting more for a much lower price. Hard to argue with that.

It’s only better on the wallet

[@sarantdgr]

You people who claim that the Japanese model is less expensive are misinformed. In Europe, for example, the Japanese model costs starts at least 14,500€ (for basic without paid extras that doesn't said on video) without any extras, as the video claims wrong. Look it up and see the exchange rate in US dollars. For those of you who despise the Ducati, the hard reality of the Italian model's unmatched quality irritates you.

[@plusx3D]

@@nickedee99 no

[@pitchforkpeasant6219]

You’re talking about prices in Europe. Not the US. Where you are buying it makes a difference. Not a Ducati hater. I actually respect it. But in the US, Japanese is cheaper

[@Name_Lessness]

R9 for sure. Do not forget Ducatis basic maintenance cost and repairs can only be done by Ducati dealers and are astronomically higher than a Japanese bike.

[@stfu6397]

Yep

[@jarrolightfeather4703]

This V2 can be done by anyone since there are no desmo valves into it

[@albertocalderisi1000]

Not true, on this model there is no desmodromic sistem, so is a "normal" bicilindric engine, but very ligth, powerfull , and high torque...just ready at 3000rpm ducati is always better, after all, even without desmo❤

Highlighting a very neutral comment or suggestion to promote hate from keyboard warriors out there who seem like they didn't even know that Ducati Panigale is named after Borgo Panigale, the small manufacturing town in Bologna, Italy where the Ducati factory is located. Why though? To create engagement in your videos? Instead of you correcting it.. You're doing this.. What a shame..

[@rebelmehdi]

R9 all day everyday

[@rns6889]

Mate that shift cam is the biggest reason to want the v2, however the cbr600rr and zx6r are probably still the better rider experience, track times? Don't know, I'd bet they're all probably the same with a professional rider.

[@skylerbentley8713]

Shift cam is just something more prone to breaking.

[@Albert-my3yt]

The yamaha is still more dependable, regardless of what anybody says. Bang for your buck, The yamaha is still the winner. Besides, its not like you would buy either of them for the track only. They're both just fast street bikes.

That’s the thing though, there’s no new bike to replace it. I might as well spend a few more k’s on the old bike, huh? 😂

Due to euro 5 regulations, these bikes are aimed at reducing emissions, we will not see such bikes like 675 anymore unfortunstely

Is this the last year for the v2?

not only because I already ordered one but my vote goes for R9 without a doubt. The price, tech, and the looks. and the videos shows the basic v2, not the v2s which probably gonna be even more expensive so yeah.....

The Italian needs to be seen racing on the track, regardless of what you think of them. After that, make your determinations. Because a nearly almost freshly new creation that infuriates the majority of people won't have an impact on the few motorbike experts in the field! Both motorcycles are regarded as being equally strong, and Ducati's effort is at least admirable and truthful!

R9 is lower compression ratio and get similar power like panigale V2. So, I prefer R9❤

[@mt09madness]

The way you pronounce Panigale is doing my head in 😅

[@sarantdgr]

You will always try to find some so-called disadvantages, whether it's about the price or the equipment. price or equipment, since both have the same equipment and do not differ at all. The price of the Italian is clearly within reasonable limits, although some unfairly criticize it for being more expensive; personally, I find this an excuse. Regarding the Japanese one, not everyone will buy it in cash but also in installments, where the trap lies and no one pays attention, with an interest rate of 6% for all installments, which means additional cost. Don't act smart because that shows ignorance. In Greece, the price has been officially announced at 15,000 euros, so what affordability are you talking about? and are you sure that the American market costs what the dealership there says? These are nonsense; this happens everywhere when the respective government imposes taxes where it has interests. The Italian model is clearly the counterpart to the Japanese model in all aspects, regarding the one less cylinder, its brake disc calipers which are completely better and more effective in all conditions and in both versions, regardless of what the video wants to say to justify and speak well of the Japanese model. Also, @SecondGearYT, your intentions are clearly visible, as well as the language you use and the presentation you make, indirectly and deliberately stating that the base version and the V2S of the Italian model do not have cruise control and multimedia, while in reality, they are included in the equipment of the Italian model. Be careful what you say because these are inaccuracies, and the thousands of viewers will boo and reject you. You are talking nonsense; there is standard EBC engine equipment that you say doesn't exist with a red icon at 3:08, while it is standard (see on site), or am I the fool? I don't think so, because that way you are underestimating my intelligence and that of the other viewers. I don't think so because that way you underestimate my intelligence and that of the other viewers.

The price makes it a non competitor with the R9, the v2 competes with the base R1 price wise and that wins hands down. Unfortunately thats mostly for the US since europe doesnt get the R1 anymore.

@@knifetoucher KTM makes and sells 5 times more motorcycles per year than Ducati. And Ducati was pretty much fooked before Audi buying them.

[@kordygaffaney8078]

Without price ducati is better that engine is amazing for a v twin amazing it weighs so little even carrying 1 liter more of fuel and with the base model without the lithium battery. That means it has room to become even lighter. The frame and engine make it amazing. Price is the only thing that makes them somewhat even. You can buy a lot of stuff with 3k that you save getting the R9 instead. 3k can get you a full titanium exhaust, sprint air filter and a tune. Or better riding gear. Or a vacation somewhere.
