On the other hand, maybe crotch rocket will attract non motorcycle folks too. I agree though, Ducati in the title sounds better, it's like using Hayabusa.
Just a Ducati thing haha, my monster throws a false low oil pressure warning whenever I take it out in the rain. Swear to god these bikes are such divas
@@ChrisP576 Is that an older or newer model ? Because my 2001 and 2012 never had this problem, despite my living in Brittany, which has a (false) reputation for being rainy. I was under the impression whenever the Audi guys arrived, they explained to the Italians that some people actually ride in the rain, which seemed to be a VERY remote concern for Italian manufacturers until then.
Ducati is Ride by wire. In race mode the throttle opening is quicker early on. If you put it in Street mode or rain mode the throttle will open more gradually based on the twist of your throttle hand. Therefore smoother The Hayabusa has mechanical throttle. So your twist versus throttle opening is a one-to-one ratio
Except the way that mechanical throttle cables open throttle bodies doesn't open it 1:1. The ratio of throttle plate tilt to air volume(let in by the throttle twist) is not a one to one ratio, it's a curve. Cams do alleviate this a bit though.
I've never popped a wheelie in the 2 years I've had my license. This dude just rips sustaining wheelies on the dunes with a Penigale dirt bike. This is nuts!
You are the most infectiously positive, humble and kind person I think I've ever seen on youtube. I watch your content for you, can't wait to see what else you do!
@@MattSpears it looks so awesome with the dirt bike forks and big wheel, you're giving the bike another life, one it never expected, happy new years fea Scotland bud, keep up the good shit
The way that you aren't afraid to put random parts together and still end up with a good result pleases me to no end. It would be fun to watch you do something with a chopper!
And there was me thinking my recent mid-winter day out on Salisbury Plain, in the UK (a balmy 7°C) , on a bike that's designed to be riding offroad was fairly extreme. This is preposterously epic. The way Matt and Kev are riding that Ducati is immense! 😎👌
Dude ur positivity shines in every bad situation. Keep doing what you do and soon you’ll be able to do this full time and rack in the big bucks! Love from Florida!
Right now Im nursing a horrendous 2 day NYE hangover, this video is the first thing to make me smile in 2025.😅 I just watched the rebuild video too. Good work Matt
One huge feature on the v4 is the electronics, you can change all the power curves, torque settings, etc. Play around with those and create presets depending on your environment and terrain! Do a video about it, would be really cool. Bravo champ 🏆
dude ur a beast for getting that pig unstuck that many times. and eventually back to the lot??? amazing. the ducati was badass gotta see it perform in some normal dunes without the snow handicap. would also be cool seeing it water skip with a track. also congrats on 100k, long time watcher, new subscriber. love your energy and demeanor. hard workers with a good attitude are hard to come by nowadays. you'll be growing fast my good sir.
Dude, you're one of the best dirt riders I've seen in years. This build is absolutely bonkers! i would see if a company could make you a set of fairings out of Kevlar or Impact resistant ABS as this bike needs to survive your abuse lol.
That's Guinness World Book Record Epic Roost! Brother once ran a 12 paddle on a KTM550 in the dunes, but that was small in comparison to this earthy stream of awesomeness.
Amazing adventure again. That Ducati is a beast, great to see it out, and looking forward to more adventures. It's also always great to see Miss Piggy, she sounds so great
I need to get you guys on a set of my studded tires for non-sand frozen shred-nanigans. Your potential for winter time ridiculousness is limitless. Keep it up dude, I love this shit.
You’ve hit a combination that could be it’s own category for dune riding. With the right tire set up there’s enough power to float your way across some crazy fluff and serious dune height. Very cool stuff guys. Very cool. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
so satisfying to watch something that some would never do to this *drill through the plastics* and well.. riding it offroad in the first place lol, i love it
Hi Matt and Happy ''GoodYear''... lol MAKE THE DUCATI ''SWIM'' ...! Bigger paddle through ski, get it up to speed, and cross a lake...! [You'll need high speed all the way...]
Matt, I don't know what's more impressive. Your magnesium welding abilities, plaid-moto off-road skills (you should patent a new class lol), or below freezing bare knuckle rides 🤯Seriously the coolest thing I've seen on the internet. Watching you drill the bodywork/metallurgy mods @ prob $15K OEM new parts, body work is $5K, tank alone is $5K, stock exhaust $4K, triple clamps, etc - made me cringe and laugh at the same time hahahaha. As a fully in tact 21 Panigale V4 owner, Ducati fan, and track rider, I enthusiastically approve. What's even more hilarious - pretty sure you found out ~100 mph to RL in 1st gear makes sense why you never shift - insane off-road speed. Shift to 2nd RL 130 - you got 4 left to 200 mph😆. All the thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
the ducati tax on parts is insane!! Also this is by far the best put together bike I have wrenched on. Everything has a spot and lines up perfectly. Super impressive
Hey Matt, just an FYI related to your suspension adjustment. So long as you are in the dynamic range of the damper, not topped or bottomed out, adjusting the spring collar will only change the sag / ride height. The spring itself needs to be exchanged for one with a lower rate if you want it to be softer. you probably want that spring pushed as far down as it'll got without topping the damper out to maximize ride height, but that will be at the cost of sag when the rear leaves the ground.
I love that Ducati has an adventure/scrambler but this dude is just like "nah we can do better" 🤣 Would love to see Ms piggie get a new exhaust system. The 6 into 6 Cobras on my Valkyrie sound amazing.
Woo hoo! What killer timing, haha. Happy New Year! Keep on keeping it real, Captain Wheelie 😁 Still dreaming of that Buckshot X2 🤤 Santa clearly didn't take me seriously
I’ve talked to a lot of older guys with premature arthritis and tendinitis who wish they took better care of their hands when they were younger. Wear some gloves dude!! Great video man.
Ill have to watch the rest later, break time is over. Awesome build love watching these ive got a 929rr i used to daily thats a bit trashed eanted to do this for years!
Not an offroad guy, but having ridden in the snow with sportsbike Pirellis, I can assure you that riding one gear higher and being more gentle than you usually would helps not to get stuck.
Piggy has lots of lives, he'll be back. At the Honda factory, as a test, they took a piggy and red lined it straight for 60K miles and it did it no problem. This video was epic! Thank you! Enjoyed all of it!
Perfect to put this fork on this sportbike ! That makes all the difference. Remember (or discover) how the french Kawasaki H2R "Laboiserie" was unrideable in sand with his genuine front fork and 17' wheel. Title "Ma Kawasaki H2R en motocross ! (carnage)".
"Ducati V4" in the title will for SURE get more views lol this is nuts
On the other hand, maybe crotch rocket will attract non motorcycle folks too. I agree though, Ducati in the title sounds better, it's like using Hayabusa.
"Crotch rocket ducati v4" it is then
just call it the '2000 hp Ducati' 😅
For real, though, it should be Ducati v4 crotch rocket
was gonna say the exact same thing!!!!
These guys are a different breed, no gloves in the snow is diabolical
I don't even ride a bicycle w/o em... When he said man it's cold, I'm thinking dude put some gloves on lol
Riding a bike at all without gloves is diabolical haha.
Matt needs a glove sponsor. My hands got cold just watching!
yes it did hurt mine too
he keeps doing this, no gloves riding in the snow
!!! I love cold, but my hands don't deal. So I love my gloves.
I don’t get it 😂
He has no gloves by choice lol. he just bought a 2024 ducati, I think he can afford $50 for a pair of gloves if he wanted them.
This dude is so friendly it's hard not to love him like a brother.
That's exactly why I subbed. It's just all good vibes
Right. The video made me want to try and save him and I don’t even know where he is… 😂
Imagine there is someone out there with a Panigale that won't ride it in the rain because they don't want to ruin it... Matt - "Hold my beer"
Just a Ducati thing haha, my monster throws a false low oil pressure warning whenever I take it out in the rain. Swear to god these bikes are such divas
@ChrisP576 i haven't had any issues with my Multistrada V4 except some mice that decided to make themselves comfortable.
Hahaha like the big adventure bike guys.
@@ChrisP576 Is that an older or newer model ? Because my 2001 and 2012 never had this problem, despite my living in Brittany, which has a (false) reputation for being rainy.
I was under the impression whenever the Audi guys arrived, they explained to the Italians that some people actually ride in the rain, which seemed to be a VERY remote concern for Italian manufacturers until then.
And on the next episode…we put a sand tire on my H2R 😂😂😂
The v4 is just as good
Next episode, putting Dirt tires on a Boss Hogg and taking it to Moab
@@SKOMPASthat would be fun, but monster truck tires on a mini crushing Harleys would make many even happier.
OMG you read my mind 😅 300whp + paddles = fun IMHO
Déjà fait par un français, "la boiserie"

The Hayabusa has mechanical throttle. So your twist versus throttle opening is a one-to-one ratio

all that and no hand gloves man, hats off!
Hand gloves? What other gloves are there
He needs some ear gloves too
@@andersnrregren9087 bad bad english man

I love everything about this. Matt needs more subscribers so that he can build his MV Brutale dirtbike and his H2 Dirtbike.
Gold
The way that you aren't afraid to put random parts together and still end up with a good result pleases me to no end. It would be fun to watch you do something with a chopper!

Toughest hands on the internet! Thanks for another awesome video Matt!
Dude you created a new segment that makes Baggers racing look tame 🥇 thank you for pushing the envelope
Bro everything you have put out the last year has been gold. Subbed at like 700. Stoked from Utah!

Thanks Matt. Great effort in bringing us entertainment. Always a hoot!
Your humility is refreshing. Your bike handling skills are solid.
I think you have the mix of talent/insanity just about spot on. Thanks for making these epic videos.
One huge feature on the v4 is the electronics, you can change all the power curves, torque settings, etc. Play around with those and create presets depending on your environment and terrain! Do a video about it, would be really cool. Bravo champ 🏆

this video is gonna push your career so hard, I wish you nothing but the best! I love seeing unique things happening to top end bikes!
You need more of this V4 off-road, this is amazing!!
This was the best motorcycle video of 2024 🎉
Thanks Element for sponsoring this insanity.

Matt's friends: 'hey, we're going kayaking...'
Matt: 'cool, I've got just the thing...'
This is the sickest build ever. I love all your videos. You’re gonna be a huge UA-camr one day keep it up.
2:38 This thing is gonna be a Monster
He says about the Panigale being ridden like a Multistrada 🤣
To any of you who know Matt. Is he really that friendly IRL? He seems to be a genuine person.
Yes, he is.
That's Guinness World Book Record Epic Roost!

Amazing adventure again. That Ducati is a beast, great to see it out, and looking forward to more adventures. It's also always great to see Miss Piggy, she sounds so great
You should put a really big rear sprocket on that thing to take advantage of the higher gears and rpm. Other than that, that thing Riips!

i just love how the engine is used totaly diffrent then designed and you can realy aprecietate the sound
Kev definitely is the man 👍
Know Matt personally, he's been like this forever. He's a complete stud!
The Ducati in the sand is so cool! Right on dude.
People dont realize this is a unique bike. It has a v4 engine, uses desmodromic valves, & revs to 16k rpm, Rather then being a 1000cc inline 4.
Pretty sure anyone even remotely familiar with bikes knows what a Panigale and a Ducati is!
so satisfying to watch something that some would never do to this *drill through the plastics* and well.. riding it offroad in the first place lol, i love it
MATT INSANE AS ALWAYS! busa to the ducati is crazy work🤣. keep on doing your thang and rippin! cheers
Hi Matt and Happy ''GoodYear''... lol
MAKE THE DUCATI ''SWIM'' ...!
Bigger paddle through ski, get it up to speed, and cross a lake...!
[You'll need high speed all the way...]
Bro...sickest snowbike I've seen so far hands down lol I love those bikes normally but this is money 💰 🤑
Is UA-cam paying this well for videos these days?! Damn Matt you’re killing it my dude!
...Budget was blown with this bike, plus I bought it totaled.

the best build yet. love this channel

I’ve talked to a lot of older guys with premature arthritis and tendinitis who wish they took better care of their hands when they were younger. Wear some gloves dude!! Great video man.
You make it look so easy to drive in the snow 😮
Kev with the Ace gloves. Love that dude 😂
Matt is such a stud. Nothing made me laugh more than him riding that behemoth through the dunes getting stuck over and over again.
I would love to see the build process for your Ducati. Show us the work that went into that thing!!
Ill have to watch the rest later, break time is over. Awesome build love watching these ive got a 929rr i used to daily thats a bit trashed eanted to do this for years!
Best use of a Ducati I've ever seen!
This man is by far the most underrated content creator i know (in my opinion). Much love❤
You should call her Dunecati 😂 really enjoying your builds and your adventures. Keep it up!
Delivery of power so much different than an inline 4! This video was rad!
YOU MAKE/TAKE SOME WILD RIDES AND IT'S AWESOME!!! I DIG THE CREATIVITY AND DETERMINATION... KEEP IT UP, ON 1 WHEEL!!! 😂😂😂
perks of having a ducati dirtbike: never need more than 1 gear
Your buddy Kevin is a good vibe in the videos 👏
This guy seems so genuine and cool
This is so much fun to watch…and it must be so cold without gloves😂
Not an offroad guy, but having ridden in the snow with sportsbike Pirellis, I can assure you that riding one gear higher and being more gentle than you usually would helps not to get stuck.
HOW DO YOU DO THIS WITHOUT GLOVES ON 😧😧😧 Im freezing just by looking at this man 🤯😨
Great idea! The Ducati looks like a blast to ride! Best one yet 🎉❤
Let's go! You're talented, skilled, and insane! Keep doing this stuff 🤘👏✌️
10:58 You're in a competition with Strandbeests now
Next level content. Congrats dude! You changed the game
