Riding Bikes | 2023 Ducati Panigale V2 | First Impressions around NYC v1777

I got a chance to take a spin on my boys brand new 2023 Ducati Panigale V2 in White Rosso livery. What a machine. First of all I want to thank my boy Lukas for the opportunity.What a brutal and beautiful machine. Making all the right noises and giving me all the special feelings. Just took it around the block, more or less, around Brooklyn. Got a few pulls in on the highway and then went to my favorite block to do a bit of a walk about. Thank you all, as always, for your support, love, comments, views, everything. I appreciate all of your time. RIde safe, be well, and if you read this far let me hear you say #panigalev2

You would not die, you are such an experienced rider you would just enjoy the hell out of it! But different strokes for different folks! Good content, was nice to see you on something different!

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you for the love and you're right. I'm just being dramatic :)

[@courtneyricks500]

The L-Twin torque and sound of a Panigale are addictive. Thank you for the video. It made my day. Happy Holidays!

[@ducatinyc]

So so addictive. It's real trouble. Thank you for the love and happy holidays to you!

[@alanwharton8855]

Love my v2 bayliss, yeah the Panigale just puts a massive smile on ya face.

[@ducatinyc]

What a zoomy machine.

[@markbailey769]

By far the best V2 video 😂😂

[@ducatinyc]

HA! Thank you. I tried :)

[@IRazRI]

Love the vid, interesting to see people ride something different on occasion.

[@ducatinyc]

This was a fantastic experience. I need to try out more sporty bikes like this.

[@Ventus0815]

In Germany the black cat's meaning depends on the direction of crossing. From right to the left it's luck, from left to the right it's bad luck. Sadly it does not change the meaning of your cat's crossing.😐

[@ducatinyc]

Interesting that direction matters for you guys.

[@Ventus0815]

​@@ducatinyc Maybe just because it rhymes. "Von rechts nach links - Glück bringts" ... "Von links nach rechts - pecht's"😄

[@aleidysrodriguez8361]

Finally!! I was waiting excitedly for you to upload a video on the Panigale V2 since I saw the community post! 🎉 looks beautiful! Hoping for more vlogs of you on it 🤞🤞🤞

[@ducatinyc]

I'm glad to share! Thank you so much for the love. Sadly the bike is no longer around so, not sure if I"ll get another ride :)

[@ashpunting]

Wow, I would find it hard to keep that bike under the speed limit, where the speed limit ends the fun starts

[@ducatinyc]

Agreed. This one is real trouble if you can't control your wrist :)

[@91scalloped]

The excitement never wears off, brotherman. It is always a smile bringer. You can’t go anywhere on that bike without someone wanting to talk to you about it. The bike is very composed and well behaved when you drive it slow but has all the enjoyment of retaining the ponies for when you want them. Also, with you in sport, you’re not getting all the hp that bike offers; go to race and finally get all the ponies and parameters for slinging that little bastard around corners and long straights.

[@ducatinyc]

Good lord I can only imagine this bike in Race setting. I should have ripped it when I had the chance :)

[@ldouglasvf]

Streets of Williamsburg... let me know when you want to ride...🤙🏾 ride safely bro

[@Pyrrho_]

Race/Sport/Street modes all provide unrestricted HP. It's throttle response and rider aids that change.

[@91scalloped]

@@Pyrrho_ yeah, wheelie control and traction control really rob the hp. I wanted to test the wheelie control so I put the bike in first gear about 6k rpm and went max wrist and the bike didn’t even try to pull the nose. If I tried that with the wheelie control off, I’d do a backflip, lol. I appreciate having the options but I prefer riding without the training wheels.

[@spetersonmusic]

That was so fun to watch. I was laughing when you were - dig that bike FWIW.

[@ducatinyc]

This bike is trully a joy to ride, terrifying at times but a joy.

[@konstantin8987]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video, I think your impression and emotions were quite transparent, no need to apologize for lack of stats and other boring drivel.

[@ducatinyc]

I really, really loved this bike. A bit too fast for me though.

[@cdevkat1]

got to ride my dads 2017 yamaha r1 last summer and it was my first liter bike. The speed and torque was the strangest and most exhilarating feeling I had felt on a bike. Its hard to describe the feeling of riding a modern bike with some real power. Don't feel bad for not being able to put it to words.

[@cdevkat1]

also that smell of burning fabric is probably your pant leg since the exhaust in exposed right by your right ankle

[@ducatinyc]

Oh it was def my jeans melting away, the heat is brutal. And I'd imagine it would take dozens of rides before one can casual and calmly coast on beasts like these.

[@56floorer]

lol, the ride that wasn't a review but none the less was a totally visceral example of what it's like to ride a v2 Panigale especially through those closed in roads in New York, (compared to being in the country) a lot of people would have seen the reality of owning this bike more than from a lot of professional bike journo's reviews. Btw, in Australia if we did the speeds you did in this vid and got caught we'd make the news and lose the bike for some period of time, pay a big fine and lose our license for a year or more too. I know this because I hear it on our new services. Anyway entertaining vid, cheers.

[@ducatinyc]

Def not a review by any means but you are correct - this is a taste of what its like to own such a fast puppy while in town. And here too, the speeds I was doing one would lose the license and pay huge fines - ask me how I know :) But like you said - gotta get caught first. Ride safe my friend.

[@keltecdan]

That’s definitely a bike that will get you into a lot of trouble fast.

[@ducatinyc]

This is a fact. No question about that.

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

Well that was a great video and my man the new GP is working great for you.

[@ducatinyc]

Agreed. Loving the GP11 quality jump.

[@waltsmith6515]

A heat shield kit knocks out 1/2 the heat,factory exhaust knocks off a little more, great bike

[@ducatinyc]

Yea, if I had one of these this mod would be a MUST.

[@waltsmith6515]

@@ducatinyc ps.thanks for not mounting phone on handlebars

[@jacksonfavoretto9047]

A safe motorcycle is one that you can fasten between your legs if you have to hold it by the hands and arms you will lose mobility for maneuvers so tighten your legs and secure the motorcycle.

[@ducatinyc]

Very true. If I had more time with this baby Id figure it out.

[@powamoto]

WTH amazing motorcycle 🏍😍happy holidays thumbs ups 👍on all vids and comments 😀fam Xmas 😀👌👍

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you for the love my brother. Happy upcoming Holidays to you as well!

[@powamoto]

@@ducatinyc my birthday is Monday hit my Playlist or share ya fav vid or just have a blessed day ✨

[@davidpark5621]

What's crazy about your experience is that when you "opened it up" on the BQE, you were short-shifting at 8k, and most reviewers say it really goes bananas between 8 and 11k. It's a far cry from your 65hp Monster!

[@ducatinyc]

65HP on a lucky day, probably more like 40 at this point. And yea, I didn't even push this bike, at all. I noticed my early shifting when I saw the vid

[@timetter7062]

This guy is hilarious.

[@ducatinyc]

Nahhhh

[@IceAce1]

I'm halfway through, what a video already. Awesome and what a machine. The red accents to the white are just brill, I agree. Good luck to your buddy for not getting into too much trouble with his #panigalev2 rocket. Btw, back in the days, Agostini used a racing helmet that was shaved off on the chin, so he could lean to the tank better. ;)

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you so much for watching this broski. He is getting rid of the bike already - too fast for him plus he got 3 others :) And thats wild about the helmet. I guess they were not concerned with the shaving ruining its durability.

[@IceAce1]

Shave was the wrong terminology, I guess. Afaik the fibreglass shell was contoured on the chin in factory for him. Wild nonetheless.

[@Lar308]

I never use the quick shifter around town - I think that's only intended for use on the open road at higher speeds. I miss all the nice big american cars on US video's - nearly every car in that video was a foreign brand.

[@ducatinyc]

I felt that way too but now I use it everywhere all the time. And yea, NYC is all about foreign brands, but as soon as you leave town there is more and more American cars (and Subarus)

[@simonelomax7465]

#PanigaleV2. You didn’t fail anyone. Really enjoyed the ride. Sweet Bananas, DDDDDD…Dam. I would love to see you split the lanes on a bike like that after 6 months of having it as your daily ride. Spiceeeey Splitting that would be - they’d throw away the key 😂😂😂😂. Thank you for sharing ❤.

[@ducatinyc]

Yea I don't want to even imagine my riding if I owned that bike for 6 months. Ugly ugly ugly :)

[@simonelomax7465]

What’s happening with KZbin? Only just received notification of your reply. Trust that you’re having a fantabulous 2023. I can so see you on that bike after 6 months 🤯. There’s nothing ugly about your riding, looking forward to seeing what you eventually choose for your next bike but so so happy that you’ll be keeping the 620 regardless. A friend of mine has a 900ss that he bought new in 1981 and still has it 🤗; I’m still looking for the right S2R or S4R, hoping to find one this year and then later in the year a 748 - maybe 🤔. Keep doing what you’re doing, I really do love those spicy rides 😊.

[@robthekid1]

Love the raw feedback on this one lol “got dddddamn…”

[@ducatinyc]

Yea I felt a bit silly but that is all I could muster.

[@allnighterist]

This guy: holy fack 😆

[@ducatinyc]

Basically sums it up

[@gwenandrix]

This is a one mean bike and it looks great in white. I prefer the ergonomics of my naked roadsters over the agressive riding positions of sport bikes. I have a BMW F900R and love my quick shifter.

[@ducatinyc]

Agreed. I'm more of a Monster kind of guy myself but the quickshifter is nice - however it seems it would make speeding that much quicker :)

[@quant-daddy]

I'm hoping to get this bike in a month or so. Thanks for your review, it's better than professional reviews.

[@ducatinyc]

You are most welcome and I"m happy to help :)

[@843Reboot]

you are so fucking lucky lmao. maybe one day i can be able to ride or own a bike like this lmao.

[@ducatinyc]

hehe anything is possible! :)

[@momo0006]

I've been waiting for this video it's perfect. #panigalev2

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you! Glad it did not dissapoint.

[@jokerzwild106]

The more you rode it, the more used to it you would get, the more you would want it.

[@ducatinyc]

I believe it, I'm just not a huge fan of full fairing sport bikes - to own personally.

[@mjd113]

hopefully you get a chance to ride the Supersport. I went from the 620 to Supersport and really felt at home with the riding position and engine. The new Monster sits too upright, and the panigale v2 is overkill.

[@ducatinyc]

You find new monster too upright? Interesting. I've sat on a Supersport, never ridden one. I still love the nakedness of a Monster.

[@mjd113]

@@ducatinyc yes, i would miss the position of the 620 but the Supersport fills that need. Agreed I wanted to stay with naked bikes but lets see if they come out with sfv2 in black and maybe ill go back

[@amritanshurath7210]

you got that dawg in you brotha

[@ducatinyc]

It had to happen.

[@ducatinyc]

Thank you my friend!

[@gabriel.vsilva]

What a brute beauty!

[@ducatinyc]

Sweet savagery.

[@ChaseJasperDown]

My fav color is red so I’d love that bike. But overall that’s too much horsepower especially in downtown nyc. Great video though. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@ducatinyc]

Agreed, a bit too spicy for this town

[@Renzsu]

It's kind of wild how this bike is the smaller brother in the range, 5 hp more than my 1200 Multistrada! Hope you knee is healing well, is the new Monster on the list for the new year or is it hospital bills instead?

[@ducatinyc]

Yea, I can't imagine the V4 with its 205+ HP. WILD. Knee is great, back to normal more or less. Hospital bills almost paid off and it shall be new bike time soon :)

[@Renzsu]

you shouldn't feel any pressure on your wrists. a good friend gave me the tipp to squeeze my legs more against the tank and hold my upper body more with my back.

@@ducatinyc and I love it! Every video is special (:

[@georgeion6602]

witch of them like more hyper or this ? confy , torque ...

[@ducatinyc]

I would say I like the Hyper more. The V2 Pani is a bit too aggressive - from acceleration to brakes to sitting position. I think for the city Hyper is better. Now, if i had nothing but open roads i can see the appeal of V2

[@Diego-ci8re]

On the v2 when shifting up with QS u don’t have to let go of throttle to shift up

[@ducatinyc]

Yep, that is correct.

[@Switch2Knife]

You should ride a Busa 😂 would love to see you open it up.

[@ducatinyc]

Ha! I'd lose my bananas.

[@lexus996]

29:34 minutes of swearing. 😆 ❤

[@ducatinyc]

Its possible

[@hamzahurahman]

👌🏻

[@ducatinyc]

Yes sir

[@Dv1demon]

So nice to see you enjoying some panigale proper! You and your boy should take it to the track when it warms up. We'll run it like it's meant to run💪🏻 Meantime check out my track vids on the V2!

[@ducatinyc]

Sadly my boy is getting rid of the bike - it was not his cup of tea :) Some epic action on the track my friend.

[@KeepOnRecord]

is this the bike with an exhaust that cooks its fairing? 😁

[@ducatinyc]

Not sure but I tottaly believe it. I legit thought my jeans were melting.

[@KeepOnRecord]

Yeap! Definitely wouldn't city ride this during a heat wave

[@bznupe30]

You were giving it serious beans there buddy! Were you seduced by the power of the FORCE (Ducati)? 😃

[@ducatinyc]

Yea, I was not thinking clearly for a second or two there.

[@Dalapuppy]

You think the Yamaha R1m is a better bike ?

[@ducatinyc]

I have no idea to be honest. Maybe 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ But im not a Yamaha fan

[@tridev9290]

I think now you need a panigale

[@ducatinyc]

Absolutely not. Thing is dangerous.

[@anthonyso7761]

Try Ducati Supersport. You might like the riding position.

Agreed. Its a bit more Monster like in its sitting setup.

Way too much for the city streets. Scramblers are cool - I hope to ride one one of these days.

Nice machine. But I like your monster better :-)

[@ducatinyc]

To be 100% honest with you, me too :)

[@oldninjarider]

Ok the San Francisco squat isn't a good look 😅😅 Next saying it's too much power isn't a good philosophy to have. We are all intimidated initially by something new especially the generational gap of your existing monster. Go for the streetfighter v2 or v4 in my case. You can never have enough WFO

[@ducatinyc]

San Fran squat? Im Russian bro, its a Russian squat. And its def too much power - for me :) Lookin forward to tryin Monster 937

[@oldninjarider]

@Ducati NYC Vlog too much power is like saying too much sex. There is no such thing. 😁

[@michaell2168]

Sweet bike! Too much power for me though.

[@ducatinyc]

Same. Way too many beans for my taste.

[@Ventus0815]

Bike is great. But besides from posing maybe not the right thing for the city.

[@ducatinyc]

Agreed. Most def not the right bike for the city unless you're a madman

[@newstep5096]

The roads in New York are disgusting, and riding a motorcycle reminds me of my childhood in the country and riding a horse without a saddle on a road without asphalt and where you constantly fly on every bump.

[@ducatinyc]

That is a beautiful memory and a great description. I love it. Thank you for sharing

[@TheReverb1]

...do not know; it sounds like a single cylinder in this PC; also looks outdated; front; mirrors etc. The only one that I like of all these new sports bikes is the MV Agusta superveloce and has about the same HP

[@ducatinyc]

The audio does not do the bike justice in real life and yea, sure I love Superveloce too if it was affordable and reliable. I'm guessing this V2 is better in both areas.

[@TheReverb1]

@@ducatinyc new Triumph and Ducati in this Country were in the same importer; now only Triumph but they still receive Ducati for service and rebuild due to new importer is not good; the mechanic there is a buddy and he said that all the failures; included total overhaul on some models were/are on Ducati never on a Triumph...may be Triumph owners had luck or are better but always the rap with Ducati is that are not reliable...I do not think so and so about the MV, I do not think so too; also about Triumph; still I do not think so; but I ride old bikes and I rebuild the engines never had a car; always on bikes and bicycles so my vision could be different
