I’ve watched 10 different videos today. I watched your whole intro and didn’t skip to where you actually talked about the bike. (You gained a new subscriber btw) Someone will always add their opinion, they may not appreciate or like the way you do something, but someone will. GGs

[@lukelaputka7164]

I have the ‘19 in red and I’d definitely love to have a single swing arm! I bought the full system Akro exhaust system and it sounds amazing! Having had Japanese sport bikes prior to this one, I really love that you don’t have to make too many modifications as it’s so stylish right out of the crate.

[@stylez521]

Never heard of you before, but your video and editing style deserves recognition. I really enjoyed your video, good quality video/mic/editing, made it easy to watch through the whole thing. If you have the time, keep up the videos, I'm hoping you make it to many other people's recommended list like mine. Things like speed runs/first rides/riding tutorials make it to my recommended list very frequently so maybe if that interests you, it could be an idea for a video. Keep it up!

[@PetroHead]

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! Covid-19 has put a damper on all of us and my channel will soon have an update coming shortly about the types of content I will be making.

I like the updated specs on the V2, but I prefer the way the older model looks, particularly the front.

[@PetroHead]

Same. Though the 2020 V4s / r look much better than previous gen. But V2 -vs- 959... I prefer 959.

[@schmirgldecks]

Exactly, nothing beats 1199 and 899 design, they’ll never make prettier bike

[@JS-fb6ww]

So only the V2 has the color LCD screen and the quick shifter as the 959 does not have those two things?

[@PetroHead]

959 has quick up but not down like the V2 and V2 is only one with color display.

[@PetroHead]

Its crunch time! Which bike do you like more or want to buy? Comment down below your thoughts! 👍

[@sanaah3930]

The perfect bike would be the 959 with TFT and single sided swing arm :-)

[@zackrides265]

Sounds dumb but the V2's single sided swing arm, LCD dash, and autoblipper sold it for me.

Funny 😄

[@bobby3914]

Disagree, styling looks way better especially the front, only thing the V2 has better is the color TFT and single sided swingarm. I am waiting for my new 959 with a couple of weeks.

[@remsangachhakchhuak1738]

Is the Engine really a "V" twin /V2 ,i thought that they arean L twin/ L2 .I might/ can be wrong too so I am not saying that I can't be wrong.

[@ajamer11]

I was waiting for you to get on the V2 and see your genuine reaction to riding it for the first time given you already have a 959 but it never happened :( coming in a video soon??? Your mic set up is on point 👌🏻 if you do get round to riding one fingers crossed it’s got the full akra on!

[@PetroHead]

Plenty of V2 videos on the channel.. do a search.

[@Miamiraptors1]

What does the quick shifter actually do? Ty

[@PetroHead]

Eliminates the use of the clutch with exception of putting it in first gear to get going.

[@mattdawson5576]

Late response here but the 959 2016 has 157ph the most HP out of all the 959 models and the V2 Has 152.8 but I believe the V2 has more torque?

[@golfnerd3107]

I don’t know. Styling is subjective but imo they peaked at the 1199. Or maybe an 1199 front end with a 1299 tail.

[@methdd]

yep very subjective. 1198 is the best looking for me.

[@awesomeerr8765]

V4 is the best imo. Dont like the plastic headlight sticking out Covered gives it a meaner look

[@drewmorg.]

No way. Panigale are ALL absolutely beautiful, but V2 is peak. 959 is equal with one small difference - single sided swingarm!!

[@yadhuprakash9735]

Nice video broii💯💯

[@JMKGarage]

I agree with the comment shout out that you did at the start of your video... I am here wondering why you only have 6k subscribers now... the quality of your content is definitely comparable (if not better) and similar channels with over 1M subscribers... I’m sure you will be up there soon

Isnt the 959 corsa meant to be uncomfortable as its a track oriented version of the 959?

Not necessarily. Suspension is fully adjustable and the manual has presets outlined for street use.

[@BaconSupanova]

I have one question as I'm currently deciding if I want to buy a new V2 or a used 959. Does the V2 get hot like the 959 does? You know that heat you really feel on your right leg.

[@PetroHead]

New video coming soon. Be sure to sub to get notified.

[@jaydub727]

The headlight button on the right side of the V2, is that for the highbeam or is that really for the low bean on/off?

[@PetroHead]

The one on the left is high/low setting which stays throughout the ride. The one on the right is a high beam trigger button for emergency purposes I suppose.

[@jaydub727]

PetroHead awesome. I’m headed to the Duc dealer by me tomorrow to finally throw a leg over a V2...keep ya posted

[@pni089]

V2 engine is different to the old 959. The 955 cc Superquadro engine was overhauled and now complies with Euro 5 standards. The engine is updated with new injectors and inlet ducts that help the motor produce five more horsepower than the outgoing Panigale 959.

[@PetroHead]

It also weighs a tad more so the 5hp really doesn't mean much.

[@pni089]

@@PetroHead Actual the weight is the same 176kg dry and 200kg wet.

[@PetroHead]

@@pni089 959 is 387.2lbs and new V2 is 388.. It's so small, it's not noticeable.

[@xnggg277]

I am now wondering to change the tail, swingarm and tft display to my 16'959... Is it possible to make it?

[@PetroHead]

tail + swingarm is possible... TFT display may be a challenge.

[@xnggg277]

PetroHead thanks for info :)

[@MB-zt9eo]

Very good video!! V2 has the advantage of the quick shifter up/down and not just Up as it is in the last 959. With Akra also it is bit powerful than 959 with Akra. Better electronics and bit more beautiful at the back side. 959 is a great bike, I love it. V2 is the right evolution 👍👍

[@PetroHead]

Thank you! 🙏

[@schmirgldecks]

[@PetroHead]

My exhaust is stock.

I’m looking to get my first bike. I did get to ride the 959 a few weeks ago and I loved it. And it’s in my price range I’m trying to keep it at. But that V2 looks amazing. I wish it came in white with the red rims.

[@PetroHead]

First ever bike? Panigale is not a good start.

[@wingman199123]

PetroHead I’ve ridden before, the cbr600, and the Kawasaki 636. I’ve just never owned one. It’s always been my friends bikes. And after riding the 959 I fell in love with it.

[@PetroHead]

@@wingman199123 If you have never owned a bike before, owning a Panigale is not a good idea. Thats all I am saying.

[@deadlyapollo]

Well at least we'll see a brand new laid down bike on sale soon

[@M99-h3e]

I love my 959 for sure and because of the Price difference too, If its only the same price yes I would buy V2 just cause of the electronic package. But yea. I am pretty sure that V2 is same engine as 959, only main diff is externally and electronics. Just like getting a full package Car w/ GPS on it over a semi loaded one without a GPS on it.

[@PetroHead]

💯

[@schmirgldecks]

I just bought a 959 because it looks prettier than V2

[@jensonkowk]

The V2 is quite fancy in looking. Single side swing-arm is a big plus I guess . Thanks for this detailed comparison. I am debating between 959 and V2 and it's essentially price vs good-looking lol BTW May I ask what's the background music you use at 5:47 in this video Thanks ^

[@drewmorg.]

Seeing flawless condition base 959's with under 8k miles for 10-11k online. Your corse is another league but I think I'd rather have it than a base V2 although the v2 is the new hotness! Their price right now is very fair for what you get considering Japanese bikes are MSRP over $13k sometimes.

[@PetroHead]

I agree about v2 being the new kid on the block. The 959 / corse models are just a bargain at this point.

[@drewmorg.]

@@PetroHead Yes sir! And I knew from the first 2 seconds of your video where you were at! OC riding videos are the best!

[@hpsunday]

i prefer the looks of the older panigale

[@zubairmansuri4225]

Sir please make video on v2 1st service cost

[@deadlyapollo]

It's a lot....looking upwards of $300-400 USD

[@PetroHead]

If you’re in the U.S, it should be about $300.. they do oil / filter and computer upgrade if necessary and check recalls, etc.. after first service take it anywhere and do it yourself. V2 next service is about 7k miles but I usually do mine every 3K..

[@deadlyapollo]

First service is just an expensive oil change and to get your name in the records. Absolutely do the first service at dealer than do it yourself for every other one....except valve checks. Ducatis stupid fucking desmotronic system sucks donkey balls trying to do it yourself

[@sibusisonkosi4932]

I would like the V2,because of the Single sided swingers,LCD Dash plus the V4 body panels. I have a 2015 Monster 821,so I'm kinda tired of the Dash on the 959 !!

[@SpeedShift57]

The auto blipper, new display and LED’s make it worth the extra $. Used to own a ‘16 959. Great engine, gear box and clutch. But I’m waiting on a V2 Street Fighter. For me that would be the perfect set up. Claudio says it’s coming. 👍🏻

[@PetroHead]

Didn't know they were making a V2 SF.

[@deanjohn9203]

Nice review mate, I bought my V2 last week, and now I am struggling to put on a new slip on, V2 akrapovic cost 4600 aus dollar, and I released panigale 959-1299 can use same slip on, so I took a risk, I bought a 1299 slip on from akrapovic and hopefully it will fit V2 next week.

[@nerdsunscripted624]

I came here to see if there was any difference other than the swingarm since there’s a 959 for sale near me that’s been converted to single sided swingarm. Looks like the other main difference is just comfier seat
