Reasons why you SHOULD NOT buy a Ducati Panigale 

Would you still purchase a Ducati Panigale knowing the bike has these negative characteristics? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

I think I've said this about every modern Ducati Superbike at some point, but I really think the 899 / 1299 body style might be the most beautiful of them all.

I could see the heat being a big deterrence in buying the 1299, but it's just something about owning an exotic Italian Superbike. It's a Ferrari on 2 wheels for goodness sake! I am very envious and I can't wait to perhaps be lucky enough to own one of these classics. The mods you've added are second to none and look absolutely amazing. Ride safe and enjoy my friend!!

It’s funny the video is titled not to buy but the first 5 minutes are why it’s so great! Love it!!

Your review is spot on. That’s my dream bike. Took a few rides on it in Fort Lauderdale. My inner thighs felt like they were touching a hot tap on a stove. A very uncomfortable feeling but you pay the price for such a sexy and red hot bike.

Though its undenyingly expensive but dude its the design, aesthetics and attention to detail are awesome though some of its downside is cooking your nuts everytime you ride it.

Dude! your videos and channel are EPIC! you've inspired me to make my channel as epic as I possibly can! keep up the amazing work 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I just got me one and 2 minutes later I was like, Mannnn is this thing going on fire? I had to pullover to check on it. Then I found this video. 😂😂 heats up like hell.

Great video, glad I watched it. I was thinking about buying the V4 at Eurocycle (I'm in Tampa as well). But after hearing about the crazy heat, I think I'll stick to my custom R1 for now.

It's a race bike. It's a really ready to race. No one race bike are comfortable.

It’s dope you’re in Tampa as well, this is what im shooting for in maybe 2 years, just sketched to take it out to like Ybor or something in fear of it even being touched.

Thanks for the honest review 👍🏻 I’m glad you mentioned riding in the heat. I live in NYC and I find riding my 848 EVO in 90 degree plus temperatures unbearable

I live in Minnesota and own a 2021 V4S, when I wanna warm up my garage, I turn on my Ducati let it idle during winter storage.

The heat has always been a major issue for me to buy one of these for New York. I’m shocked that it’s still really hot 🥵 with all the cooling mods you e done.

Lol! It’s the Lamborghini of Motor Cycles of course it’s going to cost a lot of money. I’ve got a 2018 959 . Insurance is 30 a month. They have heat shields for that heat. .

I've got the 1199 r . Heats a big issue with it also, but once you get going, it's not too bad. Definitely a track bike, but I still find plenty of roads that are fun. I'm just across the bay in st.pete.,so we face the same weather conditions. Except for the cost of repairs, I have no regrets.

Use your legs and midsection to hold up your weight. Never put unneeded pressure on the bars. It’s giving unnecessary input to the bike and causing your hands to go numb. Just a bit of advice that’s solid. Beautiful bike bro. Ride safe. 🤙🏼

A. SUPER. AWESOME. RIGHT TO THE POINT. TNKS. SIR. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Do you have any issues with quick shifter? I get false neutrals on my v4s 2022. Only in between 5th & 6th when giving it wide open throttle

Yep...I have the 2022 Panigale V4 and it is not a traffic/city bike....it needs lots of air flowing through the system.

A clear clutch cover would look so nice on that. I'm guessing you didn't get it because it might void the warranty?

For anyone that is planing to buy a 1299 or an 1199 you should not be in danger of overheating in the summer as long as you are riding it like you should ride a panigale😂. The most common issue that I’ve seen on my 1299s and other peoples 1199’s. The squirter unit and the water pump have a pretty high fail rate since it is literally in between both of your cylinders. And btw the squirter unit is the actual name of the part and it is made with some kinda OK plastic but when it over heats it usually just fails and spits coolant until you replace it🙃. Got to love the Ducati heat factor lmao.

Great video. How is the comfort compared to your the S1000rr you had?

I just bought a V4 SP. Never ridden a V4 so hopefully I'll like it😂

Love the bike but I wanna fish the pond behind him lmao

At a post of you, at a video from somebody else, i red that you had 83 subs at the time, 3 years ago. Wauw dude! Im wondering if you are still a pilot. That would be my 1. Dream job!! days ago i reseigned as a locksmith. Im afraid right now cause i dont know what i’m going to do next...

Spot on bro 👍👌 thank you. That’s why I went for a 2019 CB1000-R brand new $10,800 out the door Cash 😎

How is the performance?

Buy it preowned I got a 2019 V4S with 1200 within ducati ever red and had akropikic full exhaust and carbon bits. Paid 25k out the door

that is the best motorcycle i had seen. the only thing is that is too expensive.

where did you buy the plate holder ? have link ?

The akrapovic slip-on for this bike is 2900. The full exhaust is 4k. That said you very likely have the $4k full system. It would suck if the dude didn't put it on cause separately the header is at least $1700 more like $1900.

yoooo your back. Were have you been?

150?!?! ...I had a new 748 biposto financed like 20 yrs ago. I was like 25. My insurance in broward Florida was 20 bucks a month. The bike I bought last week my insurance is $14 a month full coverage... 100K plus 25k passenger. You better shop man

What do you like better? The s1000rr or the 1199?

Too bad Ducati's are so expensive in my country (Denmark). A 2016 Ducati Panigale 959 costs around 40k - bone stock. Would love to own one at some point

thanks boss

1299 is the bike never let me down and it’s best bike in market till v4 and h2h 1299 it’s only 3 bikes in market

Do you still own this? Have you had any issues? Does it ride hot

My bike in the summer feels like I'm siting on a camp fire but I don't care about that. The feeling of riding this italian beauty is well worth it the third degree burns heal overtime. 😆

I see all this videos telling the "Bad things that Panigale or Ducati has" and blah blah... Then why you have it? Why you bought it?

Holy cow I have a 2023 streetfighter v2 in Clermont full coverage and my insurance is $80 a month (Yes I’m creeping 3 years later)

"Don't buy a Panigale" *buys a panigale*

I am 6’3”. Ergonomics and the heat are my only issues- Nevertheless it’s too good looking to ignore 😍😍

Diavel it is! Back issues and metal plates in my wrist will not cooperate :(

Presumably you sold the bike then?

1, You want to play ,you got too pay..2, I have a bad back and am extremely comfortably , I guess it's just me, I do not sit on the 1299, I am part of it, we react as one unit 3 ,. It is always upper 80's and mid 90's here in Greensboro, 90 + today YESSS HOT !!. In 7 months of riding, just under 12,000 trouble free miles. Monday the 30, Track day for me @ V.I.R Danville Virginia The 1299 will be on the Dyno and super tuned tomorrow. Will post the video on my Chanel Putting so many miles on the 1299, I bought a 2016 Monster 1200 S with 935 miles from the original owner. rode it for 1 day, great bike , but not for me. Selling it. Anything other then a Panigale is a let down.. JUST my opinion. NEXT ,, 2020 V 4 street fighter in memory of Carlin Dune. Be safe everyone and keep that front tire aiming for the sky

The main source for the heat is the rear cylinder head that sits half inch away from your inner thigh.

How hot does it get? I have a Sfv4 and it’s not bad

You basically wanted to told the viewers multiple times it's expensive and you can afford it. My kind of dude! I have buddy who owns one he's the original owner only put less the 3K he keeps asking me to take it for a bit to ride so it can be ridden. I don't even want to temp myself. Only Ducati I owned was a 1998 750 Monster old school it was awesome had the vintage yellow metal tank not the plastic tank that new ones have. Wished I kept it.

Bikes is cash sport period. But it's nice on ur credit if u planning buying a house

#1 you get what you pay for... you want generic ok, save money. You want something special --> DUCATI #2 I honestly got lucky on my 1299 base with Statefarm insurance in NC. #3 Not a touring bike... you want comfortable buy a Goldwing. Panigale is race inspired track focused. Don't lie to yourself on this one... #4 Bike only feels hot when your going slow from light to light... tracktime going hard its fine. (not a touring bike) #5 I used a little piece of duck tape on the throttle thing... problem solved! I have road the $hit outta my 1299 base. I had one warranty issue with fork seals nothing else. I have done over a dozen trackdays and now in the Advanced group. The paint is pealing off the motor I have run it so hard LOL. Still running like a champ and is a stunner with some bling parts ! I honestly never plan on selling this bike.

Hi 👋. Excellent work. If you get a chance would you let me know ‘your’ opinion about the sound / feel difference between the L twin and your new V4 please!!! I owned Kawasaki’s & Yam R1 then changed to Ducati 1198s and loved it, I love the L twin sound & feel. 👍👍👍

Have the 848 Evo. Good god the heat. People say it heats the ass. No! It sets your entire legs on fire! From ankle to testes to ankle. You are swimming in your own sweat. I don't know how this guy does it Florida. Holy hell. I live in Prague and I have to kill my 848 at long red lights. Otherwise it goes to 104°C . That's skin damage btw.

Don't call them the Ferrari of motorcycles for no reason. Though they are far more reliable.

What about the v2, can it be for the streets?

Got one the 1299 base model. Yes it is very hot on your thighs especially here in Manila. but once I installed the heat shields its ok. Would I buy a Panigale again? Yes but if I have extra money I would go for the top dog. The v4

Pay $18.50 a month full coverage. Depends on where you live I guess.

I've got a 959 and I couldn't recommend owning the bike any more... it's beautiful, fast and makes you feel like a million dollars.

Insurance in sweden on bike same as urs 300 man , 150 is cheap asf , its cheaper than v2 here also 😂😂😂

The beauty of imperfect on such perfect is even more alluring.

22 hundred whit the things u got whit it i dont find that a bad price for a ducati

Gmn ga turun2 keluar ducati dr dealer nya dikirim ke kostan ak Amien dtgg Ducati ❤😊

Ok. The title of the video is about why not to buy one. Why do you ramble on about the deal you got and what came with it? Sorry but I was hoping to learn some reasons why not to own one. You ramble on about things that don't have much to do with owning one or that apply to every sport bike out. You lean over and the ergo is bad on every sport bike. The one reason that applies in this video is the heat the motor produces. And to be honest most of us that love ducati's can deal with a negative or two because of how they look and sound.

Lol 150 a month. Come to Michigan bro! 2019 Zx10r 327 a month progressive

Surely one of the major reasons not to buy it is the cost of the DESMO service at 15000 miles , around £1300 gbp in the UK ....

Marcheeesni rim options? You dont need full headers unless youre a full on racer and need every HP. A diet and fitness regime is probably more important😆

i owned this bike , the pani v4s , the yamaha r1 from 2004 , 2007 , 2012 , the kawa zx10 2014 . they all get equaly hot . its ineveitable if you take fuel and combust it to 200+ horses . i say after about 2010 models they all got a lot hotter , also quicker .

Complaining about $150/month insurance is funny. In Ontario with a clean record at 27yo, this is $490/month and you can maybe only ride for 5-6 months

Ferrari on two wheels so $30k not a bad deal

I own one and the vid is nonsense. Yes, it gets hot. This can be negated and will only be bad for fools riding in denim or shorts. In leather, no probs. No, it is not a 2 wheeled ferrari. Ducati will rip you off for spares costs and service costs. Its a big twin, so screws will rattle off. Theyre not cheap. But my 1299 has some grunt. It is terrible in an urban environment, but take it on a track and boy is she good.

look at the bike from 2015 to 2018 in WSBK and tell me it's not a good bike... Rea just got lucky on his old KAWA shit

Only Americans have heat issues..

I love my 1299Panigale S. It’s definitely not a bike you want to ride around town hitting stop lights and stop signs, it has too much power for that kind of riding. It’s a track bike, canyons, open roads bike because of the power it possesses. For city riding I get on my 1200 Harley sportster which is super chill. This Ducati hates stop and go riding and will heat up to 214 Fahrenheit on a hot day at a stop light.

Low side king

The only true reason not to buy 1199/1299 Panigale is the HEAT other reasons you've mentioned are pure BS.

hhmm i hear no reasons not to buy it.

Wan wan the engine is too hot 🥵. It’s a race bike. You can’t heat get out of the kitchen. My 2019 is fine it get warm a little hot your riding an exotic with an exotic special engine.

🤪 Engine heat from a duc! They all have that problem.

Yea I can’t imagine riding that bike in traffic on a warm Florida day.

underwear exhaust?

Marcheeeeesmi

Don’t ride over 30 minutes

after warranty up..at 14k miles it needs a valve check and tune up thats about $3k..but with maintenance paper work they have great resale value..valves check is ever 7k miles..next runs with the leader japan bike you want 1,199 you hear alot of jokes why you need another 200cc to run with 1000cc japan leader bike...but the red and thats cool ..carve up corners and stand up dank noobs

‘Why not to watch this video’..... Waffling on with story instead of the topic
