Ducati 1299 Panigale Review | Owner's Review

[@jennyofamerica1516]

they do fold...but only once....

[@muscleandimports]

"awww, noooo"

[@MXRiderFiftyTwo]

Hello Jenny of america

[@kiwi-on-a-bike660]

I totally cracked up when he said that. lolz

[@stevehash158]

HAHAHAHA i was like WTF is this dud going on about?? is this Whisky commercial?? then bike then Whisky and i became like OMFG this dud is an adult and talk adult laungauge and he has seriously good points..You dont mention top speed you mention acceleration once and thats BRILLIANT!! This is maybe the best review i`ve seen on YT PERIOD!! INstant sub

[@mrexpatjohnny]

My last Ducati was the 848 Evo and I loved it, but that's the thing with Duc's, either you never own them, or you love them. Now I'm looking at another one, I came across your vid... After section 2 of your Scotch comparison, subscribed! I have to agree with Steve, hands down one of the most real and genuine feeling review for this beauty. Also, Nice Baron Sticker!

[@jboozey1]

Moto Dutchman Don't know if you've been asked this before but have you ever ridden a 1199 before and if you have how are they in comparison? Asking because I am considering one of the two.

[@larisaidis]

Hahahahahahaha the mirror part was the highlight of the review, I watched it over and over and I laughed so hard each time!

[@jboozey1]

Moto Dutchman no worries. Thanks man and ride safe.

[@Go_Show95]

Steve Hash Dutchman one of the best, agreed. Cheers

[@robertmalone731]

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for ur videos - They have helped me with my 2013 1199 Panigale. It'd almost 10 years old - puts a smile on my face each time I ride it and a grimace each time my mechanical abilities are challenged by it's ability to rattle bolts and nuts loose - safety wiring has helped with that. I also ride my bike on cross-country junkets - third time across Canada and USA. Practical bike = NO fun bike = YES. Scotch tasting and Ducati enjoyment go hand in hand. Again Thank you...

[@carswithsonduren]

seriously amazing video. top notch production quality you should give yourself a pat on the back. agreed with everything you said here

[@carswithsonduren]

How everyone stops you for pictures:)

[@axixgp]

I have owned this bike and traveled long distance too. Approaching 20k mikes in two years...this is a very ACCURATE review. Very Fast bike. Handles like a dream without the Ohlins...expensive to maintain, highly suggest you get extended warranty with any Euro bike. This bike loves track days. It was totally made for the race track.

[@axixgp]

yeah I plan to make more vids soon too...my bike broke this weekend on a high speed ride...just posted the vid..gonna take it down at midnight...

[@SteveSalstrand]

Amazingly good review. I've already known for a while that my next Ducati would be a Panigale, but with all the videos couching it as a thigh burning machine I've been looking for that real rider review instead of the typical "I'm a poor editor who never afford this, but I'll tell you my wisdom from spending 30 minutes on it."

[@irideaduck939]

Very creative! I rode a 1299S on a track and have no idea how you can use it on the street ... when you get into the power it feels like the gates of hell have been opened!

[@iREVIEWitALL4U]

This was a great video seriously probably best real life review very unbiased and fair thank u so much and many miles more!

[@atlas2456]

I watched this 2 months ago. I have rarely been drawn back to a video after learning what the content was in this segment (motorcycle reviews). But I just enjoy the layout, visuals (obviously) and style of the video. So I’m back.

[@Dutchman0]

Welcome back! Glad it was entertaining!

[@therealbajan522]

I like this review. Beautiful as hell bike.

[@atlas2456]

I have never seen a review done in this way, bloody great job mate!! Really enjoyed it.

[@Dutchman0]

I'm glad it was entertaining!

[@Meister_Dwight]

You got my sub for two reasons. 1: the quality and pure awesomeness of the video. 2: the fact that you used the word "gander." Love that word :D

[@DannyPorsche]

I've had one for a month now and I still watch this video all the time. Don't know why.

[@TucuIAVA]

Great video! I’m getting ready to pick up a 1299 next week. I’m beyond excited

[@greatkingrat]

This review is brilliant. You have a natural voice and speed speech for it as well as the video was beautifully edited. Impressed!

[@jaspervv9985]

Just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos, not just this one. Bought a 2012 1199 Panigale earlier this year and have been using a few of your videos for maintenance/improvements. Damn, it's a great bike. It is not convenient to work on but so satisfying to ride on!

[@deaddis]

Awesome review, really describes the quirks of owning a Ducati well. Last summer I bought my first Ducati, can confirm pretty much everything in this video.

[@Shimmoda]

I love the Italians! Great bike my friend! I want to get one of those in matte white

[@Shimmoda]

***** No doubt!! I raced a Anniversario on my channel the thing was crazy fast! Couldn't believe how much more power that 1299 has. Great video man!

[@Shimmoda]

***** Just like you said in the vid you look down and you don't realize you're going that fast haha I too much prefer the matte white or the classic red but I'm a fan of those gold rims :D

[@parkerbarnard5046]

love your videos bruhh. get this bike

[@GorillaProduction38]

Useful vid. Until this moment I was shopping for one but after all you've said now I must reconsider my options and check thoroughly all the pros and cons. Thumbs up

[@davidperez4381]

I recently got a 899 and this review is one of the best I've seen from the panigale series

[@FreeRider1959]

Hey found you via SMO's Subscriber Spotlight. (He did the same for me last month). This review is well written, edited and narrated. I look forward to checking out your other vids. Ride Safe!!

[@FreeRider1959]

Thanks!!

[@topdeadcentermoto8319]

well they do fold but only once *CRACK* "ohhhh noooo"

[@ZanixB]

awesome commentary bro. I have a 2015 1199 Panigale R (The Precious), and a 2014 Yamaha R1, and I am so much more comfortable on my Precious than the R1 in ever way. I felt the burn of the heat of the subframe when I rode the bike from the dealer home, but I forgotten about it since then. As for flickability, lightness (except in windy crosswinds), acceleration and comfort in the 170-200+ mph are unmatched... and that in Sport mode. Race mode is just mind blowing. I find that my inner thighs get fatigued after a good long hard ride just trying to hold on from not getting sucked off the bike at the speeds I mentioned. And like you said there are many of bike now that produces similar power, but it's up to the individual taste, finances and riding needs. keep the videos going.

[@jacobaziz9023]

Legend!! Just deposited on a 1199 !!! Thanks for the confidence boost

[@barick87]

Serious this one of the best review videos, I have ever seen .. i loved the way you compared with whisky tasting .. keep it up Waiting for more to come ..

[@VladKhomutov]

Best damn bike review I've seen in 4 years. Keep'em coming!

[@khizarvlogs]

i agree with what you said. At the end of the day, your gonna be happy you have the bike you actually want. no matter what

[@mf3enjoi]

Your video was the first all around helpful one I have seen I’m thinking about getting one and you covered all the Rumors concerns and fears that I had. Thanks 🤙🏾

[@mmcguireiphone]

Just came from smo video. Loved this. First one of yours I watched. And now I can spend the weekend watching them all :) brilliant video

[@TheZallene]

This is the first video I've seen from your channel, and i'll 100% subscribe and check out your other videos. Your review was so refreshing, you're totally right about all the other reviews being either a 10 minute test ride where they stay under 4k RPM and say it's slow... Or a track review, that's not entirely relatable for a lot of people. Good work :).

[@bhaktha3787]

im not a Ducati fan..but now I'm a fan of your review

[@Trinity636]

Excellent summary of what you go through owning a Ducati! It is truly a brand that gives you that "one-of-a-kind" experience... still have and love riding my modded 1198, but have kept an eye on the 1299 Pani. Keep up the real world approach with your reviews. Subscribed.

[@fattui]

I liked the vid as soon as you said "lets get right into it", fricken A+

[@andyt6777]

Haha, the mirrors fold only once! Classic..😜

[@SuperNinjaleprechaun]

The writing is exceptional. Very entertaining and informative review.

[@Krysstophe]

An instant sub, absolutely loved the parallel with a whiskey tasted and especially loved your ending - get whatever you like the most and stop worrying about how it compares to everything else. Love the bar mirrors, really set the bike off imo Fantastic vid and a well earned sub good sir!

[@AnshulMishra03]

Now that's the kind of review an average buyer really needs. Great video man. The Pannigale is my dream bike and like you I am going to buy it someday irrespective of all the minor issues you rightly pointed out.

[@EASTCAMDEN4LIFE]

I own a MV Agusta F3 800 AGO #137 and I love it.😍

[@1SmokingLizard]

EASTCAMDEN4LIFE how much did the initial purchase cost (USD please)? congrats on owning a rare breed of bike.

[@EASTCAMDEN4LIFE]

1Smoking Lizard thank you and yeah is a rare bike. I paid $17,899

[@1SmokingLizard]

That sounds about right. I know its higher $ for a smaller displacement vehicle. But you are in fact getting something quite special. Make sure you keep it! I love the triple sound! I love my '96 VFR750 because not a lot of bikes have gear driven cams. The whine of the V4 is heavenly. Cheers mate.

[@ducatidarren3516]

Thanks for just getting to the review of actual ownership.

[@harleyandhonda3153]

Great review bud. You went in with a plan and stuck to it while making concise points and expressing the way you felt about the bike in a weird but functional way. Lastly, BMW S1000RR.

[@zabdielsantander7183]

As a 14 yr old boy I always have that in my "DREAMS"

[@Lukas-kh5gu]

Interesting. I love Whisky and know quite a lot about Single Malts. Him blending this with motorcycles - something I am just beginning to get into - is amazing!! Subbed.

[@Lukas-kh5gu]

good catch! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@HansGarage]

Bro, I've always wanted someone to make a video like this! THANK YOU!

[@salluchini1304]

Very professional review and very informative.

[@ricolie3541]

Finally its up! Thanks dudee for listening our request!

[@scottlincoln6286]

Absolutely FANTASTIC video

[@SpyderRios]

I sold a 2007 ZX6R that I had for almost 10 years. Since the Panigale came out I was in love with the way it looks, nothing else. I still want one, I want one bad. I sold my bike because traffic wants to kill me every other day and I got tired of that so I sold my Ninja. I also felt like I could never fully enjoy the high revving nature of thebike without getting into deep trouble. My finances are not there to buy one, I probably should buy a truck instead and move on with my life. I dont know, I might one day buy one just to keep it in the garage as an Art piece, I think is that beautiful.

[@cadillachernandez2271]

Thanks for your review Sir!! Awesome job

Great video, and opening comments are bang on.

[@lonelybikr]

good video entertaining and informative. i have a 2014 monster 1200 and i love it to bits not quite the in the league of the 1299 but still fun. i strongly suggest going to the Ducati plant in Bulogna Italy for the tour. great way to kill a few hours. well. aside from the flight. the food. sights etc.

[@legahsee1able]

Often considered this bike and I very much liked the review. Nice video

[@axellness]

i wish more reviews were made this way. thanks man.

[@MrGetgrip]

Digging this out as it promised honest realtalk for everyday use - and delivered! One question: Did you ever miss the semi-automatic suspension from the S-Model on a roadtrip? Happy cruising!

[@Dutchman0]

Thanks for the kind words, and you asked a really great question! I never missed the suspension perks of the S. At this point in time, the electronics only handled manually setting the preload and rebound (if I remember correctly). Unless the bike is constantly moving between road/track/passenger riding I just set it and forget it. I knew I'd always have to sacrifice comfort for performance, so I've never really thought about it too hard. I'm getting ready to re-ride the 700mi/11hour stretch between Chicago and Philly, but this time it'll be on my GSA. Hoping it'll be a little more comfortable this time. Ride safe!

[@davelnic]

A great review and brilliant video as always. My biggest gripe has to be the seat, think I may have to pick up an Air Hawk seat pad too.

[@metascopefilm]

Really nice review! I my opinion two things would improve this (and future) videos of yours: 1) turning off that automatic aperture/iso/whatever is constantly changing your lighting 2) some 3rd person footage of you riding it Apart from this - as i already said - solid review! Keep it going! Cheers.

[@andrewcrooks373]

Great review thanks .....we don’t buy the 1299 for practicality but out of passion , in spite of some easily overlooked negatives.

[@Mr.Winston]

I really enjoyed your honest review Moto. First video of yours I watched and it certainly wont be the last. Comparing an expensive, refined & beautiful bike to whiskey at first was a bit bizarre but towards the end it just made sense! I agree with the point you had regarding LC and heated grips when compared to the S1000RR although I would argue that I would happily go without for that glorious V-Twin rumble and plenty of torque!

[@themotorbikechannel8554]

Best bike review I've ever seen.

[@nathanpaullloyd]

Finally. Finally what I'm looking for

[@go.for.m.o.]

Love the review! I found your channel a few days ago and have been making my way through all the great Panigale videos - you do really great work! Very entertaining to watch, and informative to hear. I dig a lot of the mods you've done - mirrors/signals, tail light, etc. Appreciate all the work you do on putting all this content together for the community! I'm saving for either a 959 or 1299, thus the reason I'm "consuming" all your bike content :) Couple quick questions (and I apologize if someone, somewhere has already asked this): could you comment on the riding position, especially as it pertains to how often you "need" to ride in a tuck or near-tuck to get under the aero break from the front fairing/windscreen? I've seen that you've pegged some longer hours/trips (the snowboard mecca was sweet - btw!), and feel you may be in a better position than most to say at what point the riding position becomes more unbearable than livable, and also at what speed you have to tuck in to hold on. We're about the same height and size (according to what I heard in another vid) - I'm an inch shorter. Thanks again for all the great content! Keep riding!

[@go.for.m.o.]

Awesome - thanks so much for the info! Very helpful! I would normally be riding anywhere from short errands - 10-20 minutes - all the way up to weekend rides of 1-2 hours. Does it seem livable up to that amount of time (normal sportbike discomfort notwithstanding...)? Also been looking at upgrading to the AGV Veloce, which I see you've had for a bit. What do you think of it after riding with it for so long? Thanks again!

[@ralphwarom2514]

hahahhahhaha. You literally described all other reviews of the bike. I love how real you are. You just won a subscriber in your first 15 seconds.

[@milleracer41]

Love this review, brilliant!! I'm looking at picking up a 1299S next year. Been riding a trusty old RSV Mille for 12 years now so time to move with the times I think. But I wanna stay with the v-twin so the RSV4 isn't going to cut it.

[@CharlesGauthier]

Cool, nice review. I am in the honeymoon phase with my Duc ST3 (992). Nice to see the longterm love. Cheers

[@nguyenminh-fw9ot]

" that abomination that holds your license plate." i couldn't agree more =)))

[@junemacdonald44]

“…maturity and finish of the spirit…” “Jizz Machine” sticker 😂😂😂

[@rmonified]

I subscribed because this was the weirdest review ever besides Regular Car Reviews

[@SanandanDA]

I currently ride a Triumph Bonneville and I gotta say every other triumph rider I spoke too would always say that Ducati's vibrate a lot, I mean all twins vibrate. I rode the scrambler, the Multistrada enduro and the Multistrada S and I didn't find anything uncomfortable, when I rode the enduro I found a buzz on the seat above 5k rpm but I guess the chain need lube or some bolts underneath were overdone, my point being don't judge before trying, I like the GS and S1k RR but they don't make me feel alive. I agree with what you're on about. Cheers!

[@SanandanDA]

***** Yeah, after the demonatization is over in India the bank will approve my loan, I have no choice but to wait till Second or third week of January.

[@surg23]

I've come to realize that remarks on things like Vibration can be pointless or pertinent, depending on the rider. I own a big twin and Vibration has never even entered my mind, though I also ride a big-bore single, which does vibrate like hell, but still it doesn't phase me. So yeah, I agree, you just gotta ride that shit and please yourself.

[@How2Desmo]

one of these moments when its hard to add something else...! f@king awesome!

[@How2Desmo]

Thanks mate, you too. Keep it rubber side down!

[@mattlong2869]

as always great video. I replied to an earlier video of yours mentioning I'm looking into a 1299....it's a definite now after holidays. couple questions....how many miles you got on her and have you had to replace and consumables like brakes, chain etc? one last thing.....the jizz machine sticker scares me...hopefully your own and not a common occurrence from other guys when your seen on it ha!

[@streethawk_1617]

awesome !! love the wine process compare... puts the finesse to the 1299

[@streethawk_1617]

i love it ! ... heats up like a bitch.. but as you said in the video every bike has its own niggles to get around.. and i think once you over look these things the bikes are built solid... love the way it handles and love the electronics the variation is amazing each setting feels like a new bike :D... unfortunately we in india have to deal with the shotgun exhaust... and exhaust systems for the bike are expensive :O :O

[@TurboDirectSA]

Brilliant - great video! Just enough Whiskey connotation, a little more would have been too much, but spot on - great video thanks!

Best review I've seen in a long while

[@princejamalminhas3271]

Really nice review, I love how you combined the whiskey part made it way more intriguing . the 1299 S model is no doubt my dream bike, I love it so much but the price tag is just insane (i'm just poor lol) So i'll get my secondary choice instead this month which is the Yamaha YZF R1 (not the newest model, I hate the looks but the tech is dope)

[@druyay69]

Great videos on this channel. Not too long winded and the comparison with whiskey is lovely. May I ask, how tall are you? I'm kinda short at 5'7" and I feel this bike with the seat would take some getting used to.

[@druyay69]

Never mind! Stumbled upon the negatives of the bike video and you're quite tall. 6'3". Thanks again for great content.

[@K2theK-b6u]

"They do fold, but only once" HAHAHAHA Best line EVER

[@stevenkates4876]

Please make a video analysis of long term maintenance and reliability comparisons for superbikes; I have never seen one. They don't exist. I loved my 999 and 1098 but basically had to spend about 50% of the original total cost of the bikes at the 5 year point.

[@abossman13]

As always. Fantastic video! I'm becoming a bit of a fan of this channel. My question is do you ever struggle with the leg grip on this bike? My friend has a 1199 and when I ride it I can't ever seem to get "comfortable" without sliding into the tank. I noticed you don't have tank grips grips installed on your bike. Is this not an issue for yourself?

[@calexander230]

I own a 2012 1199s and can say everything in the video is right on. I am trying to save the difference to trade up soon.

[@calexander230]

I think it was cool to point out the issues without blowing them out of proportion. took me forever to get a ducati because of all the shit people talk of it. but still would never get a ducati older than a year 2011.
