Panigale V2 is BETTER THAN A Yamaha R1? | Ducati Panigale V2 Walkaround and Q&A | Cafe 27 Bike Meet

This is the FINAL installment of the 2020 Ducati Panigale V2 series. While I was on family vacation in West Palm Beach, FL I sporadically deiced to rent a motorcycle. It was an awesome experience and I am glad it was on the Ducati Panigale V2. It does have the stock exhaust on it, but it still sounds phenomenal! I cant imagine what an aftermarket exhaust and a tune would do for this bike. It also just looks incredible. I could not stop taking pictures of it!

In this video I do a walk around of the motorcycle and give my genuine thoughts on it. I also do a Q&A based off of questions I got from you guys on Instagram and on my “community” tab on YouTube.

Questions asked:

How are the ergonomics? Is it comfortable?

Did you hit a max speed run on the motorcycle?

Do you still have the Yamaha R1?

Knowing what you know now, would you have bought the Yamaha R1 or the Ducati Panigale V2?

How much vibration does it produce compared to a traditional vtwin?

How many girls can you fit on it?

I also head out to a motorcycle meet at Café 23 Bar & Grill in Southwest Florida. Everyone there was awesome. It was cool to see a variety of motorcycle owners all getting along and just having a good time. That’s what bike culture should be about!

Awesome video bro! I wouldn’t say “better” than the R1 but they both have their plus and minuses. The V2 is definitely better looking and lighter. The R1 is still a monster!

Honestly I own a 2014 899 panigale and have never had any reliability issues. The not starting issue you experienced is pretty strange, maybe it's a problem with the newer bikes but as a 6 year old ducati owner I cant complain about the reliability at all. Also, with the ducati comfort seat, I think it's more comfortable than the Yamaha bikes- I was deciding between the 899 and an R6 and the panigale is less aggressive clip on positions and with the comfort seat it is much more comfortable than other bikes like the r6 or the daytona 675r

THE ISSUE WITH THE STARTIN G GOES AWAY WITH THE AKRA EXAUST AND TUNE. THE RESTRICTED EXAUST CHOKES IT UP AT START NOT ALLOWING IT TO BREATH!
NICE RUNNING VIDEOS!

My Ducati did that hard start and stalling thing since it was new. Then after I replaced the in-tank fuel filter with an aftermarket high flow marine fuel filter, the stalling problem was instantly fixed! Those Mahle brand fuel filters that Ducati uses are junk.

[leanangleza]

This has to be the best video on a Ducati bike. This is a race bike!!! You don't buy a Ducati to be comfortable or ergonomics :)!!!

Hey great review, just discovered your channel, subscribed 👍
Great to see a bigger guy testing motorcycles to. I'm also 6ft 245lbs. Pumping iron for 30 years its always refreshing to see real world big guys testing real world motorcycles 😎🤗
Being in the UK I have always loved the car and motorcycle culture that the USA has🤗. Also love that way there seems to be a great black riders movement in the US, with every one mixing because it's all about riding. Here in the UK we are few and far between 🤔
My sister lives in miami😎

Love the Panigale series bikes. So gorgeous. Wish I could afford one.

[OzarkHillsRider]

Love the bike. That's cool with all the different bikes meet up like that.

[Eric-ncth]

They mostly stock too because the exhaust cost about 1/3 of the bike alone 😂

[brianr]

Great vid bro. That is one good looking bike..."perfectly splendid"
Damn man, I love your content but it's hard watching all that fun. It's currently 30° here in Chicago with a chance for 3-5" of snow expected over night 😩
Gonna pick up a Go-Pro so I can record myself taking my Dyna out of storage from the HD dealership and taking it for a nice first warm day ride out.
Ride safe out there brother!

[mattysee]

Awesome videos Bruv. Keep up the massive work 🤘🏼

[SazonMoto]

R1 is the most reliable in my opinion and the best bang for your buck! #R1gang 🙌🏽. ASV levers BABY!!!
I’ll be honest I love the quick shifter also but by FAR the best I’ve tried was with the BMW S1000RR when I had the 2016 model.
Just slap an R1 engine on the Ducati frame and call it a day. Cross plane Ducati 😂.
How did you like the bar end mirrors appose to traditional mirrors?

[ExoticRiderr]

That MV Agusta RC is sick. i have the base model of the F4, there still pretth damn fast.

[MrBombom]

Once again you doing it fast D" thanks for sharing man nice video👊👊👊👊

[andreirobertpopa]

i own a panigale v2 but my mind remained at yamaha r1.How is it compared with the r1?
Is the the r1 much powerful than the r1?
Did i made the wrong decision buying the ducati?

[codyhanthorn]

Test drone a 2020 and agree amazing. Hips do not like long ride though. Wish there was a way to decrease this pain. Maybe the R1, BMW is better in this regard?

[charlieryan]

I think you got the Ducati bug now 🔥😆 thanks for another great video
