I owned R6, cbr1000rr and now 23 Ducati v4R, never looked back to Japanese motorcycles. The power, performance, top quality/highend motorcycle and the look is the best look! Like I said never looked back to Japanese bikes
Well, the ducati being ferrari of motorcycles comes pre VW (2012) and Lambo editions (2021). So originally it is ferrari of motorcycles (italian and red). Ducati being Lambo of motorcycles is very new when looking at history of ducati.
I 100% agree with you about the whole Ducati lineup is a rather attractive lineup. I'm not an adventure bike person and the Multi looks pretty good, but I really like all the other motorcycles that Ducati is pumping out right now.
I have a good friend who works for Ducati corporate: They actually dislike and distance themselves from the Ducati/Ferrari comparison. I equate Red/Red for both. marques; it turns out that neither Ferrari or Ducati have specific red trade marked. Your featured 950SP has a much different tone of red from the 2021-22 model. I dislike it so much for its noncommittal red tone that I did an entire body panels with on my bike. I left the trellis frame as is because it is downplayed, and it's now one of perhaps 3 things that are stock.
Looks yes. Performance yes. Reliability not so much, just got a 2024 sfv4s and it’s already having issues with rough starts and shutting off with just 36km on it.
@@DreamBiggerMoto they said that it’s normal for panigale and streetfighter, ride it and eventually the ECU will learn the sensors and exhaust and a bunch of other crap. I just told them if it continues after a few hundred Kms I’d bring it back to them.
@dreambiggermoto You gave so much to unpack. I have been the owner of a retired race 888 SP5 since 1999. I did a full restoration and converted it to street use. You talk about problems that I have never seen. In the first 7-8 years I put 19k on my Duc. My engine was supposed to have the valve adjustments every 1500 miles. Well long as I was not spinning it to redline I found every 8k worked great. The key thing I learned is find that non dealership shop that is amazing. I use to go to Nichols sports bikes in the Bay Area. They made the dealership look like first graders with a wrench. Talk about outcast that was and still is me on my 888(with other Duc owners). Funny I prefer taking my 888 over the 1199 R. Yes it is slower but as I only ride them on the street I can use all the power. I have not seen or had non Duc owners give me any vibes. If they did I had not noticed. I also show interest in any bike that other people are on. Can guess there are squids that feel insecure yet it could also be I am in my 50s. I remember right before buying my first Duc and non Duc owners saying, it is going to drain your wallet. Well good I did not listen to them as that was total BS. Yes it is not a Japanese bike in just put gas in it and change the oil. I also have found great friendships with Duc owners of the same model(888, 1199R, Desmosedici). Think it has also to do with where you live. Found the Bay Area(Northern California) it has shifted to who has the newest and greatest. Non if any can ride around a corner or have a clue what sliding a knee feels like. I own the bikes I do for me. I could not give a flying F what someone else thinks. Just my limited experience with Duc's
Thank you for sharing your experience with me it’s always good to hear different perspectives about this kinda stuff. Thanks for watching the video it really means a lot 🤙🏾
Just got a 2017 monster 1200s. Used with 25k miles. Lol after you said that about the oil change. I think I'll learn to do it myself. The owners manual explains how to do it. I checked the ducati dealer and they charge $200 per hr for labor. Any way so far I like the bike.
I have a Kawasaki z900, yes its a simple 4 cilinder. But with a full exhaust and tune, that thing puts a smile on my face and its really fast. All that fun for just 11k euro’s. On top of that, I’ve ridden 30k miles and never had any issue whatsoever.. just oil and filter changes by myself and you are ready to abuse the hell out of it 😅
Amazing bike. But I think v twin vs inline 4 is so different it scratches different itches. I got a gsxs1000 and its an amazing bike that does everything a hypermotard can do. But the design, sound and just x factor of the hypermotard for me made me buy the duc. But Im keeping my Suzuki too.
Here is the final question can I work on my own bike that’s the only thing that scares me away from Ducati do they make it easily workable like most Japanese bikes
I do like how they look, but i am not willing to pay the double just for the looks (for the price of a panigale v2 i buyed a R1). R1 with 50k miles = 0 ZERO issues. But nobody hates Ducati owners, actually (I noticed it myself, at least here where I live) Ducati owners really think are better than others :D PS: You do know, Ducati is owned by VAG group? (Volkswagen?) Ferrari???? XD XD XD That's the REAL reason they got a bit more reliable, my friend. Because Germans took over.
I could not agree more. I own a MT-09 SP. Its an amazing bike but it does not have character at all. Im saving up money to buy a Hyper SP. I love the Ducati community and the ownership experience.
I have MT09 2023 and I love it........ they last forever plenty of torque, also have streetfighter v4 I like it as well BUT maintenance is way more expensive I do everything on it but when is computer related issues make sure you some $$$$ everything is so expensive. MT09 you can abused her and always responce 0 zero issues so far the sound of the cp3 with yoshi AT2 is amaizing
@@superpedro4691 I agree its really reliable also a lot of torque. But i love the looks of the 950 and the 2 cylinder sound. The mt-09 is really plain imo. Also they didnt nail the looks on mine. A lot of stuff is not thought out which i dont like.
If you don't like it is time to change then ... you have to be happy with it #lifeisshort , the only downside fpr me of the MT is that the front is too high . Buy what makes you feel happy. PD: Buy the extended Ducati warranty in case
What’s kinda funny is that superiority complex your speaking of in regards to Ducati enthusiasts, the way you come off in this video kinda proves it lol. And that fact of Ducati being the Ferrari in the motorcycle world, MV actually fits that criteria much better in regards to exclusivity and sheer art, but awesome bikes nonetheless.
I feel mv Agusta is kinda like alfa Romeo. Kinda rare, not a lot of racing pedigree, focus on unique and beautiful design. Ferrari and Ducati both sells at high volume relatively speaking and puts performance on streets and on track highly. I agree tho that mv Agustas are seriously performance oriented bikes
I think it’s a cool bike but I won’t be adding it to my channel as a personal bike. However I will be doing some feature videos with it down at the dealership 🤙🏾
I owned R6, cbr1000rr and now 23 Ducati v4R, never looked back to Japanese motorcycles. The power, performance, top quality/highend motorcycle and the look is the best look! Like I said never looked back to Japanese bikes
I’m glad your enjoying it brother 🤙🏾
Uhhh no, Lambo = Ducati... definitely not Ferrari.
He doesn't know VW thing
But its red tho 😂
Lol what a comment being owned by lamborgini
Ducati , Lamborghini among many more are owned by VW

Yes this new red is on the new Ducati models and it has a hint of orange in it. I think everyone has mixed opinions about it. 😅

Sheesh that’s very early to be having problems what did your dealership say?

You need deep pockets which means normally older people buy them
Older like 40+ years old? I’m 35 and I own a 23 v4R …..

Im 24 and have a monster sp age dont matter

@@DreamBiggerMoto thank you. I appreciate it
Like audi my AUDI RS3,, you are the man,, finaly geting a DUCATI,, don't like ferrari, so DUCATI is the BUGATI of moto ,,for mi

Isn't Olean what used to be in potato chips while Ohlin is a suspension? Oh-Lin instead of Oh-Leen. Just saying 😀
How many times can you say "ducati" in 12 minutes?...................go.
374 times dafuq
There is a reason they cost so much....if you arent a 3+ time a week rider for years, there is no reason to spend the outrageous price for one.
I do like how they look, but i am not willing to pay the double just for the looks (for the price of a panigale v2 i buyed a R1). R1 with 50k miles = 0 ZERO issues.

PS: You do know, Ducati is owned by VAG group? (Volkswagen?) Ferrari???? XD XD XD That's the REAL reason they got a bit more reliable, my friend. Because Germans took over.
Maybe you should write a script before making a video.
Teeeeechnically it's the Lamborghini of the motorcycle world. You know, given that it's owned by VW > Audi > Lambirghini. 😀
I just love looking at this bike while listening to you, lol 😂
Awesome!! That’s great to hear I will continue to do that 😂
I could not agree more. I own a MT-09 SP. Its an amazing bike but it does not have character at all. Im saving up money to buy a Hyper SP. I love the Ducati community and the ownership experience.
When you get your Hypermotard you’re going to love it !!!

Thoughts on the new 698-mono? Will you be adding one to your channel?
I think it’s a cool bike but I won’t be adding it to my channel as a personal bike. However I will be doing some feature videos with it down at the dealership 🤙🏾
Nice bro “ very nice garage 🎉 saludos 🫡 desde Tijuana México 🇲🇽🥳🏁
Thank you for watching 🤙🏾
I’m better than everyone, can I borrow your bike- 😂. Please
😂
400$ for oil change on a bike??? Man u are being ripped off..
No, Ferrari is the Ducati of the car world.
So you can’t even change your own oil Ducati sucks
You, sir, are a time waster.
