Damn, I wish my Panigale sounded like this. Even my old 1198 didn't sound that mean. Love it! So many haters with the downvotes too, haha. Who cares what he's wearing, I clicked on this to listen to a bike, not rate some guy's riding safety.
No dtc, no abs, no riding mode, a lot of character, intense sensation, on this vibrant red ''love'' DUCATI with enough horses power to get any common rider in trouble, a true old school motorcycle , tell u what I love the spirit ...
I still can remember the sound of World Superbike all-winning 888 superbikes among the crowd of howling japanese four cylinder ones. It was a powerful, distinctive, truly basso profundo exhaust note. "Here comes Roche" you said. Ducati's exhaust tone is pure awesomeness. I think those fools complains are in regards of mechanical "noises" at idle. Those dry clutch "noises". But then, that's all trademark Ducati sound. And there you have it.
It's just taste! My personal taste is from a Harley to a BMWS1000RR, I love all powerful bikes, of any style. I had a GSX 1100 W, a V-twin Honda Shadow, a Benelli 899S and I'm getting my first Duca 999R. Thanks for sample sound, it's awesome!
People can hate on the styling all they want. But the 999 with the 54/57mm Termignoni exhaust was the best sounding bike Ducati ever made. And it isn’t close. It was also one of the highest quality motorcycles they ever produced. It was the last of their hand assembled bikes, and you can’t find a single cheap, generic part anywhere on it. Even the bolts are high end. I remember looking at one up close in a dealership back in 2007 when the 1098 first came out. They had to keep the 999 on the other side of the showroom. Apparently they originally had them all in the same area, but when the bikes were side by side, the 999 made it too obvious how many generic parts the 1098 used.
amazing how you captured that deep sound on camera , i got a very impressive sound in my panigale with new termignonis full system , filmed it with a gopro (on my channel ) then i listened to it , complete bullocks , the termis are LOUD , and reving it up twice gives a loud bang and flame from the exhaust , but on camera it sounds like a fart .
Love the sound when they are running---driving, but that cold idle sounds like an old threshing machine. Kind of different....... but still pretty "bad assed"! .
When i was listening to the exhaust on the youtube i tought that this sound is good or even very good. But when i heard it in real life, with spark exhaust... oh man. Just excellent superbike :)
Never ride without a helmet and certain NEVER with flip-flops. Even at 20 mph your head would be mush if you hit a wall or fence or a car. Nice bike, but be smart and never think you are above an accident, blown tire, idiots on the road, road imperfections or malfunction with bike. We want to see you alive on a bike. Nice 999. Not sure why people say this is an ugly bike, still looks modern today.
Tony Meoli ,,,Agree ,, flip flops are retarded thing to wear,he looks too small for that bike ,, no helmet no brains ,, he can learn the hard way ,, he'el be an advocate after he's in a wheelchair sayin
Note to viewers “Don’t try this at home!” Riding any kind of motorcycle for any distance with flip flops on is just not smart, or safe 😑 I don’t care how experienced you think you are.
ohhh ok,, i didnt know but i will say i love the looks of ducati bikes,,they are one of the best lookin sport bikes on the planet, italy allways did build an awesome engine in everything they build,,
people say they hate the sounds of a ducati and that it sounds like a lawn mower, thats only because the engine is running at a low rpm, on a track they are beasts...
Sounds great like all Ducatis. This one was the "less attractive" one - the 999. Not as ugly as a Japanese bike though and it still sounds good. And to all the idiots whining about his riding gear- he's riding down an alley for chrissakes who gives a s*** what he's wearing
Actually not bad for a Termi exhaust, sounds great. I used to own the 999S, but only with a slip on, but I have to say, my current 999R with a full system Titanium Corsa Leo Vince exhaust beats anything I've heard on a Ducati. Wanted the LV bad when I heard one equipped coming up a mountain canyon. I said one day I would get one, but never could afford the sucker being $3,750 retail. In 2009 I bought a 2003 999R, the first year R model of the series and it had only 951 miles on it. I called the guy, who lived outside of LA and I drove down there the next day with my cargo trailer in tow. Bought the bike and drove back to Sacramento the same day. Six months later I found the Leo Vince through Leo Vince's Richmond office and made smokin deal on it because it was their last one. I installed it and you should see the awesome weld work on the interior pipes, a work of art. But the sound is intoxicating.
People expect to hear the whiny screech of a ninja or gsxr when they think of a sport bike; I do agree Ducati's have a different sound but it's not a bad sound. It's an original sound, not an over used "Indy car" sound. If you ever hear and feel a Ducati in person, it's like a drummer using your chest as a drum set. With me I just don't get that with a Japanese four cylinder. But that's my opinion and I do like the sound of a Japanese four cylinder, but I love the rumble and growl of a Ducati.
Evan Asche I sorta got my ducati for a change . I loved my Suzuki gs750 put 93.000 miles but I find that the twin cylinder duc to. be a better sound when I ride all day . not so frantic you know what I mean?
Evan Asche thanks for the reply , I am kinda new to this internet stuff . just turning 64 next week! !!😄😄😄know what I mean? This may not work on a 600 "not to much torque " but on the gs750 I changed the gearing. 3 teeth off rear sprocket. if you're not a speed demon it calms the revs -got lots of gears in the transmission. Just a thought
I LOVE the sound of this bike when it is revving but at idle it would drive me nuts. Even the valves on my CBRF2 drove me nuts and it was pretty quiet.
