Ducati Panigale and BMW S1000RR to Africa - part one | TEST | Motorcyclenews.com

[@YosafatNugraha]

This guys, got the best job ever!

[@neevesybikes]

yep, agreed. We wanted an HP4 for this feature but BMW didn't have one available for us at the time. But to be honest, it wouldn't have made much difference to the outcome - it's all about having an adventure on sportsbikes, rather than a head-to-head test. Cheers Neevesy, MCN.

[@The80shilling]

Great job guys; thanks for bringing us along on your trip. Looking forward to the next episodes. Cheers.

[@Bandit12SS]

I think there's no people on earth that love bikes more than the Brit's and God, so they should! I will be following these tests, keep it going! Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@eddiefara]

Brilliant!! Was following this on twitter and wasn't sure if it was going to come on to the tubes! So glad it did amazing video please make this not a "test"

[@LeprechaunLive]

About time! Finally some good quality content in here, usually great bikes, great presentators, but poor poor quality. Now thats more like it, thx MCN!

[@skrongo]

Good job guys!! On par with long way down but more entertaining! Looking forward to the next episode!

[@niceccles]

Really like everything about this video, particularly the message.

[@Blahde]

Great video!! This is what we expect from MCN. Looking forwards to pt 2 :-)

[@joeboxer216]

Excellent vid, would love to see you guys do more of these adventures.

[@future62]

Good stuff Neevesey... Hope you guys do some more content, been looking for more sport bike stuff. Maybe some project bikes?

[@TheRohanNZ]

great series. bring on part 2!

[@alpinab14]

more vids like these guys please, loving it

[@arnoudsnippert74]

Pretty much impossible to no envy you guys. Awesome trip!

[@SpyderRios]

I just hate rain, wind and cold weather when riding. No snow where I live otherwise that too. Other than that, here in Fresno California I am good to ride a large chunk of the year.

[@Alecks1990]

how could you dislike this ? ...

[@StuHNomadBiker]

Got the hang of them vids now eh MCN... great stuff

[@602x10tothe23]

You should do challenges like Top Gear and buy bikes for 1000 pounds and do cross-European trips and stuff, especially if you put the motorcycles to tasks they're not made for. I'm thinking along the lines of the Vietnam special. That was great!

[@CAJFB]

Great episode!!!!!I want more like this!

[@ngv4ever]

Happy new camera, Motorcyclenews

[@RISCy27]

Really a nice clip and two beautiful bikes! Would be good if you could deinterlace the video the next time or film it progressiv to begin with...

[@Kawakasi88]

Do you mind posting how much a trip like that would cost. Love to do it. Great Video!! You should do a quick video on where and how you mount your gopros :-) I'm sure I seen one taped to the side mirror? Brilliant.

[@2kolesadotcom]

Waiting for a part 2

[@YannicVanHissenhoven]

Wauw! Really awesome, trackday in december? Must be heaven :)

[@dappernat]

Cool bikes! I like them.

[@majorswelling]

Yeh I'm not jealous at all! Lucky boys!

[@mdueam]

Really enjoyed this..

[@mrr46]

Good job,thanks Bob,s cool

[@noosman16]

nice show! thanks guys!

[@HKman98]

Really cool video, wish i could do that!

[@neevesybikes]

@leighton richards video is made and will be posted next week. Neevesy, MCN.

[@kingtingz41]

More videos like this mcn!!!

[@MicaNy]

looks like an awesome trip ! why didn't they call me to join haha :p

[@ApexIXMR]

Please, more videos like these. Btw, Micheal. My brother's name is also Micheal and our last name is Neves. Haha, it's a rare last name and it's funny to see someone with an almost similar one. What nationality(ancestry) are you if you don't mind me asking?

[@Gw49172]

Awesome!

[@Kprawl291986]

Great Review.....

[@dmitriyvolsky]

One can do anything on any bike - like touring on a sports bike or going off-road on a chopper, but does it bring as much fun as if you do it on purpose-built bikes?

[@judotaffy]

great video

[@TheTonicro]

lovely

[@s1914]

GREAT !!

[@OmegaDNA]

They're Garageband loops. Music software for Macs.

[@Nskawtea1]

"It was cold" I just like that response :D

[@moomoodeadcow]

A road trip across France on a sports bike. It hurts just to say it.

[@eddyour1]

are those green and blue stars knee pads with the smiley face @ 0:42?

[@dave80h]

Great vid

[@bluefen]

Check out gizmag's channel to see how how a fun and informative motorbike video review is done.... no offense mcn but your vids are like something from the 70's.

[@kam1l0]

heh at the stert when they all say hello... I thought they will say: and welcome to jackas = DD

[@mikecbrblue]

Good Stuff!

[@DucatiDiaries]

IMHO the Panigale is the hottest-looking bike in the world. The beamer looks like someone hit its face with a shovel but from the side, it looks hot. Dear Santa...

[@joncrennes]

Nice vid!

[@TheStriker0525]

I miss my old sportbike but ohh my poor neck and back!

[@NoGo90]

What model of Oxford tank bag is that?

[@_t3dward]

great vid :)

[@sridhar257]

whos the music artist towards the end?

[@Tristan672]

What a job :D

[@BOOSTEDH2]

I feel sorry for anyone that has to ride a Panigale for that long lol. My ass and back hurts just from watching it heh.

[@judotaffy]

whens part 2?

[@roaringastonmartin]

good stuff :D

[@AlexanderTatsumaki]

"the ducati , a little bit slow stearin.." hahahaahahhahahhahha its a troll :P

[@1Alt1]

god the Panigale is gorgeous

[@StripyIce]

You're right, they'd type it.

[@AnjeyJT]

LED is blinking on Ducati at 1:34

[@NoGo90]

I found it...Oxford X30 strap-on tank bag.

[@Guramandeep]

What is written on Rider's shoulders @ 4:23 & @ 4:36

[@CaptainAlbanna]

hey malaysian, if you noticed @1:45

[@FavoriteScenes5999]

U guys crazy!!! Those machine are not R1200GS!!!

[@donaty27]

Italika for ever

[@alfasuzuki5325]

Any problems with the bmw?

[@DucatiDiaries]

@bampie1 agreed on all points. But damn that Duc is sexy. I'll take both.

[@neevesybikes]

It would be great, but you can bet your bottom dollar their trip cost tens, if not hundreds of thousands of pounds-worth of TV Licence-payer's money. Cash well spent, becasue it was fantastic to watch, but MCN has much more modest means...Neevesy, MCN.

[@krayzieegg7294]

i wouldnt invite that other guy in another trip

[@ViperVenom]

looks like he is lubing the chain

[@Dimitrypff]

How can I apply for your job? Seriously how? :)

[@bampie1]

The BMW may not be the best looking bike but when you consider it was BMW's first sports bike and the ZX10 and the Panigale were produced to beat it and failed badly you realise how good the bike is. Who cares if it is ugly on anything else you will only see it's back end oh and by the way it is way cheaper and more reliable than the Panigale

[@viperstrike1405]

Btw let's race!

[@ste770]

they test the 20 k Ducati and the standard BMW S100RR why did they not test the new BMW S100RR HP4 near the same price as the Ducati would of been abetter test saying they are near the same price

[@retromurdok]

i still use a sports bike for everything amazing fun every time you get it out. There's only two things that can suck the fun out of motorcycling = Police, and Clicky BMW riders. :D

[@LeedsRider]

"The idea is to take some of the most extreme sports bikes and ride them down to Spain....we decided to take the ferry to Santander" :D

[@squaalll1]

Lucky men's :)

[@An.Individual]

but surely they are not adventure bikes because of the riding position which becomes uncomfortable after 2 hours

[@ANANIASZEBRA]

bommmmmmm

[@RicardoR5]

OUCH, my back hurts

[@DavidSmith-jj5pr]

let's show how practical these bikes are! by taking the ferry.... lol'd

[@Morpheen999]

Thumbs up if you still do everything on your sport bike!!!!!! :D

[@markowh]

"Presentators"?! Perhaps you meant 'presenters' ...

[@Pantovinator]

They're going to go see a chiropractor in africa

[@jimjones1992]

Absolutely pointless video but well done for improving the quality of your videos

[@viperstrike1405]

I'd rather ride my '12 CBR1000RR :)

[@snakerb]

U just did lol

[@Edward135i]

dear god, the motorcycle Euro plates are so ugly....

[@marcusmartebo4799]

Right. So you are making a "long distance test" of sportsbikes by taking the ferry from U.K directly to Spain without telling anything about the bikes at all really. Quite meaningless clip in my opinion.

[@doughboypow]

Told me absolutely nothing

[@FamzYBadMan]

The BMW doesn't look as nice doe

[@video01782]

"Grips like buggery". Not the nicest saying in the world

[@leverglide]

I want your f ' ing jobs!!!

[@mrdoominik]

HAHA noone will write first! MUHAHAHAH

[@mobilecamera777]

ducati = ^_^ bmw = 0_ /

[@NZ2STROKE]

What a horrible job! ;)

[@Themayseffect]

S1000 is ugly as shit. But cool video.

[@donaty27]

That BMW is an ugly bike
