2016 Ducati 959 Panigale Test Ride - Worth The Money? 

Love all the comments and feedback on the video. I've got a bunch of other first rides and motorcycle videos on my channel here:

If it makes you happy it's always worth the purchase.

It would be awesome to test ride that.

Unbiased, great review. Good stuff Jaret.

could you find better value for your money? yes of course, but thats not how and why people buy ducatis, or ferraris, or lamborghinis ;-) its all about the emotion and the passion, the fear and feeling you get when you start that brutal engine. you dont get that on a honda

I just purchased a 2012 Red Ducati 848 with 3000 miles on it for 15k.has termignoni's on it.Not as fast as my 07 CBR1000 ,but nicer to ride and looks wicked.Il definitely stick with Ducati.

Thanks for the test ride videos man! I want to buy a bike and I love being able to watch a review on these bikes!

Thanks for the review Jaret!

What jacket are you wearing

i drive the 2013 848 evo SE. When the sound hits that distinctive rumble sound at about 6-8k revs you really feel the power. you can year the same thing in the video happening, its like a 2 strokes powerband kicking in

How tall are you? I'm 5'9" seeing if I'll be flat foot when stopping. Thanks.

love the video, Jaret! cant wait til you get it. i own an 899.

Sweet bike man, did you do any basic set ups as far as suspension? compression rebound and such to match your weight? I owned an 2011 EVE 848 and found the front forks springs to be on the soft side in relation to my weight regardless of preload. Eventually swapped out the springs for stiffer 1KG. Based on my opinion it definitely seems to be 80% track and 20% street use for me. Thumbs up and amazing beauty on both bike and girl :)

does it it come with a stock side mounted exhaust

Is this filmed with the stock GoPro Mic on the side of the helmet?? The sound is amazing if so!

Love the video - love the bike - and well, don't need to mention the rest. Keep the good work up my friend!!

Does it have a wheelie control

Great video, Jaret. I especially love your honest review in the comment section. I've also been thinking about getting this bike to go with my 2012 Ninja ZX-6R. Looks like sex on wheels and the performance is sick, but just about everyone complains about the annoying heat and the riding position. Plus the damn thing is close to $17K! I should have very little complaints or need to do anything else, if I'm going to spend that much on a bike. C'mon Ducati! My other options are the ZX-10, S1000RR (hella pricey also) and the new CBR 1000RR. (Aprilia and MV Agusta are out due to the proximity of the dealer network). Anyway, keep up the good work dude. Loving the content.

ay crushing the uploads ATM :)
