2017 Ducati Panigale 959 | First Ride

[@ericwarren0015]

My favorite part of that Ducati is the sexy looks. Hands down one of the most beautiful bikes out there.

[@jtec99]

We all know that the red paint adds 15bhp

[@gangsterhamster8415]

J Rods no shit

[@Twinspinner]

No, the white paint with red wheels has more power 😉

[@pants10000]

more like 150

[@asaproductions2347]

J Rods papa kleb would be proud of what u have learned

[@Übereine]

The tricolorè in ducatis? How much hp +? 😂

[@WALTERRIFIC]

That's my favorite-looking bike I've ever seen. I test road the 2016 and it feels low to the ground, but I guess that's because I'm tall. I don't think it's the best sounding, but I like everything else about it. And yeah, the clutch is SUPER late.

[@tomorrowtoday4839]

WALTERRIFIC my Monster 821 is late from a stop, but accelerating up through the gears isn’t so bad.

[@MrDT2012]

You even like the every month maintenance that you would have to do for it too? I’m sure it’s in the manual for it.

[@KrestenGiese]

You test rode* it, not test road it :D!

I actually went and bought my 2018 Ducati Panigale 959 last week based on this, and I LOVE IT!!!!!! THANK YOU CHASE!!!! Its everything you said it would be!!!!!

[@ericphillips6376]

Is it as comfortable as he says? For instance compared to other bikes how’s the seat height and stuff. Looking to buy one soon as possible

[@Paramoto959]

After I rode my 2018 Panigale 959 for the first time there was paperwork signed shortly thereafter 😂😂 glad to see you have more self control then I do!

[@jhitchman1]

[@southernbiker4728]

The bike is completely amazing. I bought a 2018 last year. It will still hang with anything on the road through the twisties as long as I do my part. The only time I feel it lacking is on long interstate pulls and really long track straights.

[@downshift77]

I really appreciate the work you put into these videos man. The quality is just astonishing. Keep it up, you’ll always have a like from me!

[@RideWithRahulOfficial]

@@tonybalony6263 thanks

[@JaretCampisi]

Really enjoyed watching this. I've spent a lot of time on Panigale's and I'd say you pretty much nailed it. Definitely a large improvement over the 899/1199 panigale's. Also, oddly enough the 1299 has LESS heat than the 959 which is really odd.

[@adamtrimarchi6729]

I have a 959 and if I’m not mistaken the 1299 comes standard with a carbon fibre heat shield around the pipe under the seat which makes a huge difference.

[@JaretCampisi]

actually none of the panigale's come with carbon fiber exhaust heat shields except the superleggera

[@Mendizabal090388m150]

Jaret Campisi hey i was watching some panigale videos on youtube and came across your episodes on that 959 they were so cool and guess what after i watched all of the project i ended up buying the 959 ‘18 same color lol i love the bike

[@JaretCampisi]

right on man love to hear that! Enjoy the bike and be sure to check out the series for some great upgrades!

[@JTinFL]

Twins in the 900-1000 configuration don't make horsepower (more cylinders more horsepower, but torque curve comes on earlier) like inline fours which is why in WSBK racing, twins run larger displacement than their inline counterparts. Also Chase, if you'd like to eliminate some engine or exhaust heat? Fit an aftermarket exhaust that eliminates the cat. That'll free up the exhaust gases which should cool the bike down a bit.

[@pulsefiend]

yes you can also take off some of the fairing and run heat wrap all around the hot parts, will reduce some heat. Can also add some water wetter coolant helps reduce some more engine heat

[@robertn4840]

Finally Chase! I was beginning to think we'd never see another Panigale on your channel.

[@joaoeugenio20]

22:56 that laugh..we can tell you are in love with the bike :D

[@beenready6227]

I liked this video without even watching it. That's the respect I have for you chase!!

[@aceos1234]

a few companies make aftermarket heat shields that can help protect your legs from that ducati heat. It doesn't entirely fix it but makes it far more manageable. Some companies even make a true carbon fiber shield that looks rad!

[@Madmerts]

I m in love with this bike...6:50 9:40 BYE BYE Right Turn Signal :)

[@jordy20V]

wow.. he wrecked another Panigale

[@saffytv8926]

Chase does it again! I was looking into this bike for the past week.

[@TheGreatGamerDude]

Do a 2017 KTM 390 Duke review if possible :)

[@LIKWID]

I love an inline 4 but my god the noise of a Ducati V Twin, ah just heaven!

[@ebu4817]

I cannot tell you how long I have been waiting for this

[@Ksolidey]

The panigale is the reason i got into riding, cant wait till i own one!!

[@UnknownProdrive]

Beautiful bike for sure. You won't have the looks but a 750Gixxer is the perfect supersport for the road.

[@LATIGRE]

One of the most beautiful motorcycles on earth 😍 And this sound 😍Im in love 😍

[@hxgianni1]

I 100% agree, besides the exhaust heat, you can't go wrong with a sexy, beast ducati. Too bad this one didn't come with the Termignoni exhaust tho...

[@niron4368]

why the hell is the back blinker hanging off the bike at minute 7:05?????

[@michaelwoodcock1476]

He hit it while backing it up at the start of the video, you can notice it bent in the parking lot and then hanging off at (4:15)

[@sural89]

it's a ducati

[@Dranreb865]

Because its done with passion! If not broken its not passionate and lacks “character”

[@deet4787]

Yeah I noticed it too

[@ELCHINESEGUY]

Stiiiil!! Haha I love when chase goes full on southern accent

[@danwood8177]

The 1199 is incredible bro I think back then maybe it was just a bit too stiff if you adjusted the suspension to fit you it would have been better.

[@BF703]

Jesus I've been watching your channel a long time I remember when you uploaded that crash video.

[@elisglaze6077]

I still come back to this bike. So beautiful

In cold norway.. the heat issue is a "feature".. heated seats are nice :D

[@solomonsignet]

Your first rides are always epic! From the music to the presentation!! Love this series!!

[@thomasdixon7152]

Put almost 3,000 track miles on one if these. I must say it is a super planted and capable machine. Anyone looking for a bike to track and not be overwhelmed by acceleration this is a phenomenal machine. Don't get me wrong it is fast, 157h.p. It is not 1299 fast, but most will be over their head with a 1299. For 15k new , you get a a lot of bike with the 959.

[@aztec_rider1]

I went from my ninja 300 beast To my 2017 959 white panigale It's awesome

[@Malikthemogul]

Aztec rider 959 now that it’s been awhile, is the reliability as bad as people say? I’m looking to get a white 959 as well pretty soon, or a Daytona 675r if that’ll be more reliable.

[@mraihan7400]

Does that thing burns off your balls? Because i ‘ve ridden my friend’s 1199 tricolore recently. I can’t stand the heat all over my legs and my feet. And i’m not okay with that.

[@michaelbianconi7503]

raihan gfr It absolutely does, test rode one for 1h and completely burnt my balls off

[@sr.salmanr.r.6809]

Well, thats the drawback of "L" engine, it'll torch up your crotch. Same goes with Aprilia, I think.

[@KrestenGiese]

+Sr. Salman R.R. Wtf is an "L" engine? Do you mean an inline? The way you said it made it sound weird lol.

[@geforce5591]

L shaped V twin.

[@byronrich2780]

You’re a beast with that drone. Big shoutout for going the extra mile 🙌🏾

[@That_Paul_Guy]

That's one bike (Panigale of any flavor) that I've yet to ride...I think it'd be a great second bike to my Multistrada but I know I'd be tempted by that power. Nice review as usual.

[@Boy.of.wonder]

Thanks for this Chase, The sound of this bike has me moist!

[@MikaD87]

OEM mirrors are terrible. They're a fixed design and snap off easily (I have one and know by experience sadly). Re-mapping these bikes improves them DRASTICALLY. Sometimes they have trouble starting which is cured by removing the charcoal canister and for me, the exhaust servo when I added my Termi pipes. I went from a 2011 R6 to my 959 and I haven't looked back.. I love my Panigale and it turns heads everywhere I go.Believe it or not, this swing arm weighs less than the single sided swing arm. The bike really isn't that difficult to work on as well. Nice review as always Chase!

[@feketin]

You can se at 9:40 shot that the rear right turn light look's like it's going to fall off haha good video ;)

[@sheldonwalkerjr5843]

Can we get a compilation video of all the "B Rolls"(I think that's what it's called) of all the motorcycles you've done first rides on? I specifically want the H2 and the GSXR shots. Love your vids bro, stay safe.

[@ew4565]

Amazing bike. Love Ducati.

[@DREDLESSONE]

On some bikes they have a drop on initial take off as a looping protection. So you don't over rev and loop the bike.

[@MotoCat91]

I'd love to see your opinion on a Buell 1125r, it's a big twin like the ducati but they have such a unique feel when riding them.

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

I rode one for about 30 miles. Roasted my hamstrings, but I've got to say, if I were being "chased" (No pun intended), this is the bike I'd want to be on. And I own a ZX14R SE. This 959 is a nimble quick thing. That rear pipe could probably handle some exhaust wrap though.

[@kensteele3363]

same heat and tail lights on my 1199s. with the right pair of pants you can *greatly* reduce the heat. my tail lights have sagged and finally broke, it's an easy repair but it won't last; time for a new tail tidy.

[@craigelmendorf5805]

If can still find one. I’d recommend the 1299 way over the 959!!! Looks better (single sided swing arm and the “color” TFT screen), is actually lighter with an engine that is more powerful and torquey. Would seem a no brainer worth the extra $’s.....

[@alinkmoto3048]

Just purchased this bike today!

[@mitchellsteindler]

That rev up/down is normal. You slightly over rev it (for your moving speed) with the clutch still in, and as the clutch engages it slows the motor. This is true for every manual transmission vehicle.

[@SalientMarlin]

I don’t think that’s what he’s talking about. I’m sure he’s aware of that.

[@ccubsfan94]

Yeah i agree with the other guy, its pretty easy to notice when the clutch slips.

[@CBRboy1717]

Those damn Ducati rear turn signals man. You catch them with your heel while getting off the bike. I fucking would break mine on the Monster like that all the time. I don't know how many times I had to super glue them and then wrap the stalk in black tape.

[@lwkleijn]

Look at the rear blinker at 4:17;]

[@CBRboy1717]

Lol, if you notice in the cinematic shots and the overhead drone footage at the start it's not broken. But in the B roll footage, it is.

[@paulemilrk]

Get a fender eliminator or something if you can get another position out of it? If you haven't tried already of course

[@Subi_doo]

My biggest gripe is the grips feel like your holding onto a broom handle and the e throttle tube has a 1/4” of slop in it. Since there’s no cables not sure if you can remove that play on the throttle tube. Last complain is they only have quick up shift. The 2018 MV Agusta F3 800 has both up and down quick shifting .... the mv does not come with a steering damper so that’s a draw back.... having such a hard time deciding between Ducati and MV Agusta.

[@richardmarclorena782]

one of my most awaited first ride!!

[@danielhixson2373]

It's a middleweight Chase, those twins end up with bigger displacements for the power. The 1299 is their liter bike. This is more of something like a Daytona.

[@gurpalsingh3695]

Please test drive the new 2020 Ducati Panigale V2. Would love to see if they fix any problems/improvements!

[@TomasRodriguez-ub5kb]

I had the same bike and I do agree with you an amazing bike and easier to drive

[@TheArtOfLee]

Easy start is referring to starting the bike without the clutch, so a quick press of the start button

[@adamstratford6740]

Bro have you not watched Jaret Campisi 959 bike build they put heat wrap on the bike to try and deflect the heat away from the rider also put in water wetter to make the bike run a little cooler so there's two ways to try combatting the heat issue for me I think our Triumph Daytona 675R is the perfect super sports no bias Adam 🇬🇧

[@MOTOPILOT6]

BTW....I got a bunch of heat form my viewers for referring to my RSV4 (1000cc) bike as a Supersport. I wasn't aware that Supersports are 600-750cc machines. But the term seems fitting for any of these high level sportbike machines. Just thought you'd like to know.

You're shifting to early to feel it's potential. That engine comes with a manual haha. And that little dip in the beginning is just a twin engine thing, it doesnt like being at low rpm. You just have to floor it at any time given :')

[@andrew192able]

At 9:40 you can see the rear right turn signal dangling off the bike. 😂

[@RideWithDanger]

I'm a little confused on your rating system on your website. You gave the handling 4/10 And the ease of use 3/10. But on the video you said it was very easy to handle and control and really easy to use. I am looking at jumping up to a supersport eventually and I'm weighing all my options. The only thing scaring me away from this would be price and maintenance. Gsxr750 is currently my top choice (Also due to me being super short)

[@mollieslater8591]

Possibly just not used to twin motors chase? I wouldn't know either but my r6 does same thing but probably seems different due to inline 4
