[@Spikejones5001]

Best thing about the 696 is its so easy to maintain. Its also very chuckable. Love mine its fantastic

[@howtoblaze6765]

Hey Spike Jones and welcome to the channel!! Yea the 696 is honestly a great bike, despite a couple annoyances, i totally love this bike

[@pinilandok]

annoyance like what?@@howtoblaze6765

[@Mangop7q]

​@howtoblaze6765 what are those a couple of cons?

[@meslevres]

Lots of channels speak about specs and data. But it’s great you show it in action rather than talk. With your channel I’ll be inspired to take my baby out for a ride.

[@howtoblaze6765]

Yea I notice that too when I want to know more about motorcycles, that the creator will talk about the specs and data and they ride it around and give their final review but they almost never compare it to other motorcycles side by side. Even in those shootout videos and comparison videos I cant really gauge how they compare to other bikes. Yea its crazy how this video actually happened, when I went to film that day, I had completely different plans and then ran into Chase at the gas station and I was just like, “Hey do you wanna be in a youtube video??” and he was like “yea okay” lol Youre gonna love your bike and go on so many adventures with it and meet so many people! I’m really excited for you!

Subbed man! Very cool. Keep it up. John here.

Haha thanks John!! Appreciate ya!!

I heard Ducati r slow bikes .any truth 2 that?

[@howtoblaze6765]

Hey Alex Garcia and welcome to the channel! That statement is relatively true and the reason i say that is bike when i compare my current bike (from 2011 - so its 12 years old) to todays bikes, it doesn’t blow them out the water but it definitely gives them a run for their money. Idk if you saw my other video where i did a drag race against an mt 07, i beat it in a straight line and my bike is 9 years older. So theyre still fast, but motorcycle technology has gotten better since then so they don’t look as fast as they used to but they’re definitely still fast and its a really unique riding experience, if you ever have the chance to get one - do it, im looking to get my second one soon. But if you’re comparing the latest Ducati bikes to other other manufacturers i think the only faster ones are bmw and kawasaki and i find the difference to be so marginal because at those speeds youre just having fun - youre not even paying attention to what bike youre on anymore.

@@howtoblaze6765 >>> I have a friend with 2 bikes. 1 is a gsxr 750..the other a ducati 1000 ..we've ran both bikes wide open n 1/4 mile runs..the gsxr beats the ducati..every time

[@howtoblaze6765]

@@AlexGarcia-ew2fv hmm which Ducati 1000? The monster, super sport, or panigale? Cause I know the monster and super sports are slower compared to sport bikes. My monster got totally beat be a Honda 600 rr

[@StareNS]

I wonder if you’d be down to race my turbo mkz

[@howtoblaze6765]

Hey welcome to the channel Stare! You would definitely win, my bike isn’t that fast lol especially against turbo cars, it just looks/sounds fast haha

[@soufianeelmoutaoukil5213]

Nice video, I believe that the engine of your 696 has a problem, or elsewhere, the sound of your Ducati is not ordinary

[@howtoblaze6765]

Hey soufianee|moutaoukil5213 and welcome to the channel!! Thank you!! What do you think the problem is? If it’s really rattley metallic sound that could just be the sound of the license plate vibrating because I have he microphone really close to it

[@soufianeelmoutaoukil5213]

I don't think that's it. The sound of the 696 is more round and smooth normally, I think there is something else. You can listen to the sound here to compare: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJyykIxre85sndU By the way, love yours videos

[@howtoblaze6765]

@@soufianeelmoutaoukil5213 Hey I just saw the video!! In terms of the sound - it sounds like that person has an external microphone in their backpack and that they have a modified exhaust. Mine is totally stock. I definitely see what you mean about the running smooth sound though, yea maybe something is wrong with mine lol im hoping to get it serviced soon. Thank you!! If you have any video ideas Id love to hear them!!
