ryanhayn I hope this was not a floor model. He should have lied to him that it was happiest at 1000 rpm because the guy was whipping (I'm assuming) a brand new, not yet broken in bike like it was already his....you're not supposed to run that 899 over 5k rpms with the break in oil (so not over 5k before 600 miles).
Well, I haven't ridden most 600cc supersports to be honest. However, in terms of "power" the 899 Panigale is the equivalent of a 750 inline four. Given that, I would say yes, it is more powerful than the most 600cc.
+Scasacs Its more than enough. I personally do not understand who needs more than this. I have an 899 and never tried the 1199 or the 1299 so maybe Im talking shit =)
"I thought she was going t%^&*&^$&^*#%$#" RIP Ride defensively, there is no room for motorcyclists to make any errors, because even if it was the cars fault, which is almost always the case, you are the one who dies or get injured, not the car driver.
What a lovely motorcycle! Seems that the dealership forgot to tell you about the quick shifter! :P (A nice throttle control would have made the video much more fun to watch! Twist Of The Wrist Video should help you with that! :D )
I was doing that for fun, I know it wasn't smooth I don't actually ride like that, I just liked the instant feeling of the bike kicking forward constantly.
I just had to sign some liability form with my name, address, and signature. Then they copy my drivers license and that's it. The weird thing is that they gave me the only liability form that I signed so I could technically toss the form and not have any troubles.
ski590 Good to know, Thanks cause here in NJ a dealer is offering 2014 just shy of 16K out the door...would that be considered a good deal ??,,I would be new to Ducati
Fabricio Martinez Agreed. I guess I would also be scared to death of someone stealing it. Parking a Ducati in public also puts a huge bulls-eye on it. Where I live, unless its physically chained to a stationary object, thieves will just lift it into the back of a pickup and won't even think twice (alarm or not).
+TheRider I hope that guy was telling you to keep it between3500 and 6000 RPM because it was new. No way that the Ducati 899 is happiest there. You don't begin to feel the true pull until you get it in the higher RPM's. The low and middle ranges leave a little to be desired. Hope you can get one to a track to really open it up. I took my 2015 Ducati 899 to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last week an was whipping up on my friend with a CBR 1000. ua-cam.com/video/_YvX4mMmLlI/v-deo.html
Nice man that looks like a lot of fun, my experience level is not good enough for a track but I do wana go some time. I don't know why he told me, but those are demo bikes made for people to test ride them, so I don't think it was new
he is right, happiest when you drive legal street limit. at 35 mph speed zone, you gotta keep the rpm in that range , anything below feels the bike drives like shit.
Well it's not your fault with these speed limits for sure) just the bike on the vid picture have made me think I will see something fast and outrageous))
You can't shift at all
this is my dream bike.. ill just continue dreaming..
I got mine on finance. Lol.
Oh man thanks for taking us for a ride ... I got chills & adrenaline watching it(on bass headphones) ... It'll take 2 years for me to get the 899 :)
Hopefully sooner :)
Did ya get it?
Still wondering if you got it ?
3500-6000 RPM is NOT where it's the happiest. That guy is full of crap.
ryanhayn Lol yeah he was probably just trying to keep me safe
TheRider I can understand that. But a dealer who lies like that probably doesn't deserve your business.
ryanhayn He probably meant for putting around town and cruising. Not for acceleration

Friedrich Nietzsche No it was a demo
I don't know why but this is odly satisfying to watch.
I agree on the sound man, I bought a used one today and it was damn intimidating. I'm coming from a 650 cruiser.
How much was ur average down? Brotha
Great bike, and literally right next to my dads work when you left the dealership. Good to see another biker in washington on youtube.
Cool engine XD lovely sound
Nice Bike, can we see some footage with someone who knows how to ride it? Learn how to shift Bro!!
Brenton Dodd clearly you're not talking about yourself
Don’t be rude mate
check out my vid :)
He would shift but at the time he never knew there was a shifter
When you're going the normal speed the bike's like a hyper kid and can't wait to go all out 😂😂
I have the 2014 in Red and love the color, but not the fact that has no clear coat. The white one was the second choice.
Nice video. Definitely one of the sexiest bikes ever built. I love mine :)
Desmosnob do you feel that this bike is a lot more powerful than most 600cc supersports?
Well, I haven't ridden most 600cc supersports to be honest. However, in terms of "power" the 899 Panigale is the equivalent of a 750 inline four. Given that, I would say yes, it is more powerful than the most 600cc.

@Thomas B I lost the bike on an accident. Now I have a zx10rr. I was talking bullshit. You can always use more power....
I really like the 60 FPS footage. What camera were you using and how did you mount it up? Looks a lot better than how I have mine set up right now.
I use a Hero 3+ with 1080p60fps and superview. For mounting watch my video "My 470 mile trip with sport bikes"
TheRider nice, I've got the same camera. I'll check out that video. Thanks!
Which GoPro do you use? Video quality is nice.
why didn't you use the quickshifter?
crisko796 I didn't know it had one at that time
o ok
i luv when yo say OKEY
its a ducati and my dream first track bike!
Its my dream street bike
:)
Beautiful bike. !!! Cool.
Great vid :)
TheRider its funny cuz i have the bike you test rode in my garage now
Do you think the 899 Panigale has enough power for streetriding? And how does it compare to the yamaha r6? Which one is ``better``?
i hope i can drive and control motor like you,your driving's skills so fucking good
is the front end coming up, just after a little throttling? is it that powerful, or camera angle?
gorgeous
My RPM's are usually above 8000 and thats when my bike and myself are happiest. :)
That bike is so covfefe.
yall hating on bim but i dont see you driving a 40k bike
"I thought she was going t%^&*&^$&^*#%$#"
RIP

TheRider I do agree that its fun!! :P :D
omg, love 60fps
it starts getting happy at 6500-7000
I would say try to control the throttle more , and must say the bike is in a totally different league to ya sv650 hope you ride that better
Is ur speedometer in miles or km/h ?
Wooo Best
Guessing this was the test ride offered at the dealership. What kind of paperwork do they want for that?
I just had to sign some liability form with my name, address, and signature. Then they copy my drivers license and that's it. The weird thing is that they gave me the only liability form that I signed so I could technically toss the form and not have any troubles.
So is it fast enough? or does it make you want a thousand inline 4?
I own a inline 4 bike and I personally like the sound of an inline 4 better but the torque and power was comparable to my bike
What's with the hamfisted jerky throttle action?
Apollo Prospector I did that on purpose to add some excitement to myself because I didn't have any patience waiting for cagers
Any difference from the 2014 model ??
No difference. It's a great bike. Just got back from Thunderhill Raceway yesterday. Will post vid of the "baby Pani" killing liter bikes once again!
ski590 Good to know, Thanks cause here in NJ a dealer is offering 2014 just shy of 16K out the door...would that be considered a good deal ??,,I would be new to Ducati
BeaglePower G Well, that is about how much I paid for the 2015 Ducati 899. I hope you get it. Such a great bike.
ski590 oh so you got one. nice!!
why is this on my recommendation??... but still cool bike
I hate that he isn't shifting properly
Those brakes are way too grabby. It would take some getting used to at the track.
Too bad this bike sounds so uninspiring. Sounds a lot like my Honda 125.
+ScrewCaptain27 Have you heard one in person? They are totally different.
+ScrewCaptain27 not really. Maybe on youtube, trust me it sounds awesome live.
Get a 5 year old 1000cc Jap bike and save yourself $7000. Just my .02
Fabricio Martinez Agreed. I guess I would also be scared to death of someone stealing it. Parking a Ducati in public also puts a huge bulls-eye on it. Where I live, unless its physically chained to a stationary object, thieves will just lift it into the back of a pickup and won't even think twice (alarm or not).
I also fear someone stealing it that's why I have it fully insured.
You mean buy something old, shit, boring and ugly? Remind me to ignore you!
that's mph, right?
what camera are you using?
shaolin224 GoPro Hero 3+ with added color correction in post
TheRider Thanks. Clarity is exceptional..I still have the first gen.
shaolin224 Aw man get rid of that old thing lol
use the quick shifter please, face palm.
i loved the sound it makes, chec out the video i made of one,
This makes me skeptical
dont need the clutch!
lol at this guy driving
+TheRider I hope that guy was telling you to keep it between3500 and 6000 RPM because it was new. No way that the Ducati 899 is happiest there.

7:03 Look to ur right bruh
Wish he used the quick shifter hahaha
Almost fell asleep
You bought it yet? :)
Which Bike I got a fat speeding ticket last week, not worth going fast all the time, might get a 250cc, cruiser, or dual sport
Yeah, it is part and parcel of the risk of enjoying motorcycles! Even getting on a bike is a risk, of course.
Still, gotta love 'em :)
Which Bike Actually I might be getting a 2000 Yamaha R1 on Wednesday lol
Cool. Tell us about it on the www.whichbike.com forum !!
Nice bike.
All good man!! An R1 is an R1.
The new one looks like being the best of all.
sounds like my mopped
thats in fife
What a boring run on a sportbike....
Евгений Сергеев Lol what did you want me to do bro, I was already breaking into the 70's in a 30mph zone. Im not getting a ticket on a demo bike
Well it's not your fault with these speed limits for sure) just the bike on the vid picture have made me think I will see something fast and outrageous))
Quick Shift !!!!!! why are you using the clutch???? stick to toy bikes!!!!!
Dont listen to to the tit, race mode is full power.
poor 899....
All the losers that say this bike sounds like a moped have never seen one in person
nemmeno le capre hanno bisogno di così tanto gas per partire
Im sorry I Love the looks but sounds like a f moped lame bye
One passed me and my dad on the highway and it sounded like a scooter XX
That was not a Panigale then lol, every Pani sounds like thunder exept for the Asian ones with the (extra muted) side exhausts.
