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

[@YosafatNugraha]

This guys, got the best job ever!

[@The80shilling]

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

[@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"

[@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.

[@joeboxer216]

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

[@niceccles]

Really like everything about this video, particularly the message.

[@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!

[@arnoudsnippert74]

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

[@whereskarlo]

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

[@TheRohanNZ]

great series. bring on part 2!

[@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.

[@alpinab14]

more vids like these guys please, loving it

[@Blahde]

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

[@future62]

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

[@StuHNomadBiker]

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

[@neevesybikes]

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

[@CAJFB]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Alecks1990]

how could you dislike this ? ...

[@ngv4ever]

Happy new camera, Motorcyclenews

[@YannicVanHissenhoven]

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

[@dappernat]

Cool bikes! I like them.

[@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...

[@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!

[@mdueam]

Really enjoyed this..

[@noosman16]

nice show! thanks guys!

[@NoGo90]

What model of Oxford tank bag is that?

[@2kolesadotcom]

Waiting for a part 2

[@mrr46]

Good job,thanks Bob,s cool

[@HKman98]

Really cool video, wish i could do that!

[@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?

[@sridhar257]

whos the music artist towards the end?

[@OmegaDNA]

They're Garageband loops. Music software for Macs.

[@Kprawl291986]

Great Review.....

[@eddyour1]

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

[@kingtingz41]

More videos like this mcn!!!

[@judotaffy]

great video

[@Gw49172]

Awesome!

[@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?

[@judotaffy]

whens part 2?

[@majorswelling]

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

[@dave80h]

Great vid

[@Nskawtea1]

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

[@TheTonicro]

lovely

[@joncrennes]

Nice vid!

[@s1914]

GREAT !!

[@mikecbrblue]

Good Stuff!

[@alfasuzuki5325]

Any problems with the bmw?

[@MicaNy]

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

[@Guramandeep]

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

[@moomoodeadcow]

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

[@kam1l0]

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

[@AnjeyJT]

LED is blinking on Ducati at 1:34

[@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.

[@_t3dward]

great vid :)

[@TheStriker0525]

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

[@Dimitrypff]

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

[@roaringastonmartin]

good stuff :D

[@AlexanderTatsumaki]

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

[@An.Individual]

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

[@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

[@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...

[@Tristan672]

What a job :D

[@CaptainAlbanna]

hey malaysian, if you noticed @1:45

[@NoGo90]

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

[@1Alt1]

god the Panigale is gorgeous

[@StripyIce]

You're right, they'd type it.

[@ViperVenom]

looks like he is lubing the chain

[@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

[@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.

[@DucatiDiaries]

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

[@donaty27]

Italika for ever

[@krayzieegg7294]

i wouldnt invite that other guy in another trip

[@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

[@squaalll1]

Lucky men's :)

[@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.

[@FavoriteScenes5999]

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

[@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!

[@markowh]

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

[@ANANIASZEBRA]

bommmmmmm

[@RicardoR5]

OUCH, my back hurts

[@Edward135i]

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

[@Morpheen999]

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

[@jimjones1992]

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

[@DavidSmith-jj5pr]

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

[@Pantovinator]

They're going to go see a chiropractor in africa

[@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.

[@snakerb]

U just did lol

[@viperstrike1405]

I'd rather ride my '12 CBR1000RR :)

[@FamzYBadMan]

The BMW doesn't look as nice doe

[@mrdoominik]

HAHA noone will write first! MUHAHAHAH

[@leverglide]

I want your f ' ing jobs!!!

[@NZ2STROKE]

What a horrible job! ;)

[@video01782]

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

[@mobilecamera777]

ducati = ^_^ bmw = 0_ /

[@doughboypow]

Told me absolutely nothing

[@Themayseffect]

S1000 is ugly as shit. But cool video.

[@donaty27]

That BMW is an ugly bike
