Ducati 1299 Panigale R Final Edition + Desmosedici V4

As Ducati finally say goodbye to L-twins and choose V4 to power their flagship superbikes, we got lucky and blagged a Desmosedici D16RR V4 for a day of spanking against the Panigale R Final Edition around the Pagan fly-tipping site of Stonehenge.
Apologies for the onboard Desmo audio. Don't think the mic liked an open exhaust...

"I've always said, riding a Panigale is like wafting your nuts in a vice" - This needs to be on the Ducati home page.

[@paulklees9871]

smokeybarr are you driving R1?Thats means hot from the front and under the Tail.I driving a 1299 and a driving a R1 and the R1 is hot as Hell the Model 2008

[@smokeybarr]

Nope. 2005 Vespa ET4 mainly. Bit wobbly, rarely warm, and the bloody speedo is still broken.

[@john1492]

smokeybarr, agreed. I worked at a Duc shop for a bit and this was the first thing i noticed about these bikes.

[@paulklees9871]

bill smith i Made 30000km on The Panigale in Sommer over 36' outside,yeas if you wear Jeans or sommeting light and go in City its normal than heatet beadly its a Race Bike and not a Gold Wing.But on the R1 2008 feels much more hooter

[@Ellis01234567890]

I know I can't and probably never will be able afford a Desmo. But I still paused half way through to look on eBay.

[@Paintedbynurgle]

I just did the exact same thing

[@JamiePav]

Ellis Thomas just did the same haha

[@andrewg4412]

Personally I'd happily swap the engine out for one that doesn't cost me the price of a new bike every year xD

[@jonnyj.]

@@andrewg4412 Fuck no, that would be sacrilege. That engine is as close as we're ever gonna get to a motogp engine (fucking 86mm bore) and it just makes the bike

[@650ib]

I ♥️ the 44 teeth stickers covering the speedo. Lol... We Yanks proudly display our abusive speed. Great video!

[@froztking7339]

650ib im surprised you didnt buy a desmo after riding it not so long ago. Haha

[@650ib]

Ordered V4 Speciale too First V4 Speciale in my country apparently When are you getting yours 650ib ?

[@LoveMachined]

BARON WE MISS YOU!

[@MattyT_86]

The day I passed my car driving test, I had to go back into university in the afternoon on my SV650. As I came near kingston, near the nikon building, a man on a desmo pulled out and joined the traffic in front of me. I made a point to stick with him as long as I could. That bike sounded incredible at idle, at low rm, at high rpm, at every rpm, on every amount of throttle. And it looked so good, so special.

Always get a little fizz down there when a new 44 edition pops up , you lads never disappoint best MC show on the interwebs.

[@hubert1142]

What a vid to come home from work to. Thanks boys!

[@thomasdixon7152]

Fantastic Video. I've been waiting for your release on this bike for ages, hoping you boys would. I for some reason have fallen in love with this FE. I own a 959 now and track it, have a fantastic time with it. Then I saw this bike be released . Tomorrow my dealership is taking delivery of this bike. I have a down payment on it and approved for the remainder. I look at it like the last of the big block cars in the 60s here in America. You touched upon a great point with this bike. It's meant to make you feel alive and out of all of the Panigale bikes this is the most mental, and that right there equals the fun factor. That is also why I am taking it. I'm 38 will never be the track champ, not care to be . I do track days now to have fun, enjoy my machines and walk away with as many smiles on my face as I can.

[@angrybird29]

guys ,this talk was amazing. some peacefully you guys sat back to talk about to of my all time dream bike. Never stop this format of review. Enjoying the conversation!

Never get tired of hearing the Desmo.... Great film

Really enjoyed the video, great format and immense bikes. Keep it up gents!!!

Great review boys I myself love the styling of the final edition and would buy one tomorrow!!

Just over a week I've barely been able to move things because I broke both of my wrists in a bike on car accident and have above elbow casts so it's a good thing I love re-watching every Baron and 44t video plus over a week till the cast come off so there aren't enough of them sadly.

[@mrgreen9388]

I hope you recovered now! Also i am curious as to who "serviced" you.. did you errr.. have a wife/gf or did mum help (obviously not the sexual part... unless you like incest 🤪😳) But yea goodluck to all!

[@MrJudge51]

Great vid guys. Im one of those old blokes who ride a 888 with lots of pleasure. The first really suberbike. Good maintance is important.

Great video, lots of fun watching. Made my day!

[@HEKTIC458]

Desmo is my ultimate ducati, the sound is amazing

I ride my FE around the plain as well. It's a Husaberg FE 450! Cracking green lanes. Love the Desmo. Keep it up 👍

[@charlieryan1736]

I love this channel! Great review excellent chemistry very real

[@deanhenthorn8674]

Let the flogging begin. My first time seeing a Desmo..Im in love...great point about riding a bike that makes all your senses come alive. I bought my Aprilia based on that logic and have loved every twist of the throttle..here is to Italian Motorcycles and those crazy bastards that build such pieces of performance art..Bellisimo!

[@wbev_thai1666]

I’m a 58 year old man and waiting for some operations on my hands this year hopefully, so next spring I will be 59 , I haven’t ridden a road bike since 1985 when I bought a Kawasaki gpz 600r , but I have always said I want a Ducati before I die and I want a panigale 1299 s a 2017 model , am I being stupid in hoping to get one after such a long time off , I will only be plodding along and admiring it lol

[@Ninja1000.]

Another great vid guys!

[@benboris5570]

Another superb video. Well done gents.

[@VanTheManSLB]

Great video! Cheers from Portugal.

I can't wait to see a final edition at a track day or on the road.

[@adriengahery9471]

Nice vid fellas. Nice contrast too with your budget bike battle vids. All these vids are making me connect with what I'm really after when I ride my bike. It also strikes me with what a snob I may prove with my '06 Kawi 650......... Hm. Best of both worlds I guess.

[@Cerberus256]

Good job lads, can't wait until you try the new V4, going to be spankers

[@Sorry_ImTruthful]

Mann~ i was so caught up watching this episode that I almost forgot to hit that “like” button.

[@mattbond7304]

Great vid guys

[@neelakan678]

I rode the Supersport and it was comfy. Great Ohlins. Perfect HP for the street. The fact of the matter is, on the street you want to be comfortable enough to ride for a while. Many full on race bikes just say, "Get off right now!"

[@bsmukler]

I was present at the launch of the FE in California this summer and fell in love with that bike. I ordered one the next business day and took delivery about a month ago. It replaces a 1299S, and I agree that the steering geometry feels different (faster turn-in). Also, the transmission is smoother out of the box, with no break-in. It is true that it beats you up, riding on choppy road surfaces, but that has a lot to do with the suspension settings as delivered. The bike comes set up for the track (based on the chart in the owner's manual) rather than for the street. I'm leaving mine as-is for now, but will probably soften the settings somewhat in the future. This is the first 1299 Panigale to come to the US with the Euro 4 exhaust and, you are right: It is noticeably quieter than the "regular" 1299S. However, Ducati is making a limited run of race exhaust systems (and presumably a firmware adjustment to go with it), which should suffice to tick off any neighbors who still tolerate me at this point. That Desmo looks and sounds fantastic, and I am sure the new V4 will be great, but I'm enjoying my FE, even if it does cause bruises!

[@centurionnutcracker4691]

so will be getting the FE next week. any tips/advice.

[@bsmukler]

Nothing unusual. I like the Ducati Performance Race Seat better because the surface material eliminates the problem of sliding forward under engine braking or regular braking. As always, I am very careful to follow the break-in advice (and the electronic tach display helps: It is orange beginning at 6,000 rpm until the service light comes on, around 621 miles.) If you think you may want the race exhaust--even if not right away--ask your dealer to look into ordering it, because my understanding is that there will only be one small production run of those. Have fun!

[@centurionnutcracker4691]

Thanks 👍

[@coombsfh]

You chaps just gunned some of my old commute and mucking about roads. Lucky sausages. #wiltshire

[@GreggCesaroni]

Speaking of chasing lap times, you’re right about ruining your weekend. I had that happen many times. But I figured out how to get around that. Just don’t care. Some reason when I did that I felt more relaxed and was more consistent. Then dropped a full second out of nowhere from my previous best lap time

[@Kortiah]

I'm so glad Ducati is going back to V4s. That sound is orgasmic

[@JoeAchilles1]

You accidentally stuck the 44 sticker over the speedo ;-) Brilliant video as always lads!

Man the Desmosidici RR is hot! There's a guy in my area that owns one. I see it every now and then.

[@sk2283]

The Desmosedici is still achingly gorgeous after 10 years, I was at the NEC and there were a couple there on stands, If I had a spare £35K I'd have one tomorrow - looks & sounds miles better than the FE !

[@thealvaco]

I don't give a shit about racebikes but I love to watch you guys talk so passionately. Nice video!

That Desmosedici sound, my god

[@AakarshanB]

[@rahulsudhir666]

Aakarshan Bhagat Totally! Sounds angry AF even at de low end of de rev band! Screw de Panigale.. Dat Desmo is jus pure hardcore pornography!!

[@scottlincoln6286]

I'm SO happy you guys finally did a review on the FE. I ordered mine last July, took ownership in October (bike number 140) and absolutely love it. The bike is surprisingly comfortable and rather quiet until the power band kicks in. Keep up the great reviews and always look forward to watching your video's. Cheers

[@bostontricolore6958]

Nice video gents thank you for the Ducati Love...

[@seventysevencats]

"Listen to that!" Yep, sounds as good as an 8-bit console from the 90's. Those bikes needed a proper audio recording setup.

[@ex-bladersc5926]

Thank's 👍for this Video!! Nice. Sound is einfach nurGeil!!!!

[@findingneutral426]

Saw one of these FE’s today at a dealer, very pretty. I completely agree ref panigale’s as well, I’m on my second, and I love them. I am quicker on a IL4 but they don’t have the same ‘occasion’ about them. That’s not to say the panigales aren’t quick, they are but you need to be Chaz D to exploit it

The Desmosedici RR all day bro, my favorite bike! Can't wait till I get mine. And never big on the tri-colors at all. The RR price was $75,000+

[@mushrume]

i had one. be weary of numbers below 800 or so . or make sure they have had the springs fixed . and they are no longer making most of the parts for it . make sure its in amazing shape and low mile. but one that gets ridden every once and a while . one sitting for years is a no bueno . and get an aftermarket regulator installed . mine left me on the side of the road twice . its a mean machine though . enjoy
