** Folks I made an error regarding getting your unused bike Tax back - Turns out you can get it back - please no more comments on that one! Thanks for putting me straight! **

The beginning is typical Ducati owner's talks.. the joy fear and pain all in one😂😂

It’s funny how some people make negative comments out of jealousy... Pleasure of ownership has many facets not just high mileage 👍

The 899 needs more road time mate, no point owning a playboy centrefold and not having fun with her.

Nothing wrong with having a garage queen. :) It is a beautiful bike.

That bike is fantastic. All of you're mods are exactly what I want to do to my 899 when I find the right one. Not over the top on mods, just oe plus. 😎

Yep went and bought one in red after seeing your reviews. Absolutely love it.

I think we need another panivlogali video soon after watching this haha. The Panigale is one of those bikes that always gives me goosebumps, even more so when you hear them. Rare to see but always a pleasure. Glad to hear you're keeping her! 😍

Interesting review TMF. A beautiful machine. Video quality spot on from where I’m sitting.cheers. 😎👍🏍🇦🇺

Never ridden a bike before but I'm making it my goal to own a panigale, im not hugely into sports bikes but the shapes, the power and freedom it offers has got me falling in love.

Thank you for posting. Great looking bike. Keep enjoying it in good health.

Looks absolutely fine from my end, keep em coming 👍

Nice, considered review. Much appreciated. I have 2 classic and 2 modern Ducati and love them all. Fantastic bikes. Never had a problem with any of them either. Looking forward to a review of the new V2 - highly likely to buy one later this year...

The quality of your video is great 👍🏻

Another informative video. The film quality was fine. Camara worked well. Loved the info on the Ducati. Always interested in the reliability of the beautiful Italians. Most especially over the long term.

good update Tmf lovely looking bike . Thanks Danny 😊

Nice vid and didn't notice the video quality to busy looking at the bike, but might go back and have another look. 👍

Hi TMF, Sound and picture quality absolutely great

Beautiful! One day I'll have a collection as well. Good on you!

Great update TMF, she is still as bonnie as ever! Didn't notice any difference in quality at all, seemed spot on to me. I only watch on an old ipad mini tho, so maybe not the best test!

Love to see a few more videos of the 899 got to be my fav bike the TMF garage

Hello Missenden, like you i'm an 899 devotee, i liked your expression Garage Queen. I bought my 899 about same time as you - it has 10,500km on the odo. It's a good touring bike, the riding position doesn't bother me. I installed the throttle spacers, and my favourite motorbike mechanic Ethan Meyer, fabricated a removable luggage rack which is sized to hold a Kriega 30 bag + battery charger connection and USD outlet for mobile phone connection for Google Maps - so i don't get lost in the hillsa along the Laos border. For me, It's a great bike.

I like this quality! Carry on like this

Another canny vid.. I look forward to you posting them every week and the gopro did a canny job to !

Video quality is spot on mate 👍

Great video. Video quality is great. The colour tone was more natural looking from my prospective.

Most beautiful bike you have Sir. Thanks for the update........Sal : )

Great video as usual TMF. The switch to the GoPro is noticeable but by no means takes away from the message or the enjoyment. Looking forward to some tour videos. Peace!

Fingers crossed you get a chance to do a small tour on this beast! Hoping to get my hands on an 899 later in the year 🤙

I didn't notice it was a diffrent camera until you mention it. Looked dine to me. Good video as usual

Killer bike and one I'd love to have a go on! Video looks great.

Good to know. I'm saving for a 1299. 👍🏻

great vid once again tmf. cheers for sharing. thx.

The video quality was fine, as was the audio. I must say you do have an enviable collection of bikes! Atb, Ben.

GoPro quality was excellent, I didn’t notice the change in your filming until you mentioned it. 👍

I like the new filming format, looks much better.

I say use whatever camera ya want. Content is great either way. And the bike looks amazing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Not to bad on the gopro very good and I will be looking forward to the next vlog

That motorbike (is fast) and very lovely, Please be at least safe on your travels. Cheers from 🇺🇸

Loved watching yer clip as I have a 899 with low kms as if they get rarer they may hold there price in the future.

Hi tmf, it good on the go pro and the sound was good and content was good and up date on your panagaly

Camera fine. Gives a slight fish eye lens look outside of you. No prob at all.

Lovely bike and you are a lucky man. Have many safe miles with her. I am more of an I4 Jap bike guy, but I can see a Ducati's attraction.

For a 4 year old bike it looks absolutely brand spanking new! Well done on maintaining it! I hope one day I will own a Panigale 899/1199/1299. Hopefully before I get old and get a bad back and decide sportsbikes are not for me... :P

Good video TMF the quality is good. The bike is also looking Good.

Beautiful machine for sure! 😍

No doubt the Panegali is a thing of beauty, love it. 😍💕

Totally get your love for this bike! It makes every ride out a special event, feel the same for my S1000R. even tho it makes me do more miles! LOL

One of those bikes that you get as much pleasure looking at it as you do riding it.. I have been known to sneak into the garage with a coffee and contemplate a ZX7R :)

Wow,engine sounds great,new mic ?more immersive 👍,wowza as iam writing this you've just said your using a new set up,yes defo

🎥 Crisp focus, good colour & lighting.👍

Love your videos brother, great job. It

Quality of image still ok, but as always excellent content, one of the best motorcycle channels on you tube

you certainly love your San Pelegrino's, your Beck's too. Love them both too, in fact, Cheers!

Smashing !!

Ah, lovely to see the Panigalina on your channel again. I've missed seeing it! Video quality was top notch on the GoPro. As it is a lot easier, might be worth using it a bit more? As always, great content TMF. See you on the next one!

Honestly I didn't even notice the different camera until you pointed it out at the end, slight fisheye but looks fine.

I enjoyed mine on track, but once I got an R nineT, I stopped using the 899 for roads almost entirely and got rid of it shortly after. Hopefully the new owner is enjoying it more than I did.

Slowly but surely going crazy over this bike😂 I'll probably be looking to buy one in the next 6 months

What a beautiful bike TMF you must be so proud of owning it. I agree with you that the panigales are the best looking bikes around. I fancy a 959 panigale hopefully funds allow it next year. And like yours mine would be the garage Queen of my fleet.

I put just over 600 miles on my 899 in my first year of ownership and I also plan to keep the bike. So far all I've done is change the oil and filter and all the dot 4 brake and clutch fluid. All I'm looking at now is a single seat conversion and a new 899 decal that is peeling and that's it.

Hi TMF great bike they do look the business as far as the tax mate you get back every complete month left 👍, great quality video but a little bit fish eye I thought tbo keep em coming 👍👍

I liked the video quality on the gopro. Seems like more of the man cave in in view 👍

Sick bike!

The 899 is looking good, the throttle spacer is a great mod :-)

Completely agree I was considering selling/trading my 959 but its just too beautiful despite a hip replacement and general aches I fitted some Gilles raised clipons and comfort seat and what a difference very comfortable now and people shouldn't think of these as the baby Panigale because they go like....er surprisingly fast.

Another great video! Very informative. Do you have any tips on cleaning the Termi’s? Yours are in an immaculate condition with no exhaust spot staining. I’m in awe 👍

Good and good Andy

What a gorgeous machine

Quality was just as good on the go pro.👍🏻

She's a beaut...always wanted one, but never quite been able to align want with money :-(. Nice to see that you have a proper man cave, bikes, tools and beer (1:18) kept in the same place...

Brilliant! Just picked up a brand new 2018 959 Panigale, and I'm anticipating the same kind of life for mine as yours. And yes, I said brand new 2018, in 2020. It was a leftover. Seems as soon as the V2 and V4 came out, having the previous variant was out of fashion. Well that's fine with me, as I got it for 62% of it's original retail price. Dealer finally needed to just move it. Be that as it may, I love your garage and your passion for lovely bikes.

Careful, I saw your blur effect drop off of your speedo for a moment when you went over a bump. 71 never looked so good ;) great video, - From the US

It is a thing of absolute beauty. I rode a 999 in Brighton, the first in the country, a test ride by my late mate Robbie (MCN reviewer), I felt like the King of the universe, even when I stalled it on the seafront on bikers day with hoi-poloi bikes everywhere. My advice:Get a sports bike with cruise control and ditch adventure bikes for ever.

I prefer the DSLR more than the go pro as far as video quality. But always enjoy the content. I think I remember the day you posted your review when the bike was new. Still good to hear what an awesone motorcycle it is. Dream bike for me...

Great bike TMF, some bikes grab your heart and are keepers for sure!. When you have a passion for bikes the 'depreciation ' affect isn't relevant...in good condition bikes reach a plateau of value and if your lucky become classics! Remember to move it round the garage so you can admire from different angles....or am I the only one that does that...? !! Cheers, Steve

You should do a track day on it, that would make a good episode of TMF.

Nice update, lovely bike, I can completely understand why you will keep it, it's costing very little and it's totally different to anything else in the garage. So that for me makes it a toss up between the GS and the Street Triple to be moved on, with the GS probably favourite to go.

Another great vid - Gopro works fine from my perspective

You've been naughty here, kind Sir, " I've never had the chance to ride it in the wet yet..."... as far as I know your area is just as wet as Bristol area, or a tad bit drier but definitely have enough rain for you to play around with the puddles;))) But yes, deffo don't do it with new tyres though when it has been made for dry surfaces. I took my 0mile '08 Tenere home from the dealer when the decent rain hit, and I was sliding all over the place in corners even at low, 30-40mph speeds. They were the Metzler tyres, I think that was the standard for the XTZ Ten back i the day. Haha, I should definitely not complain about the wear of my rear tyre on the Super 10... I am changing it after 8500+miles after all year round use. Enjoy the rides!

Hi TMF - I’ll go and check out the throttle spacers for my Speedmaster. The throttle lag at low revs is starting to annoy me! Great vid - you really love that bike and who can blame you! Yours aye, Alan

A lovely machine!

Nice review! Been looking at a 899 for a while now. Can't decide between one of these or a MV Agusta f3 800 🙃

It’s such a beautiful bike. I love mine too. I can’t imagine my garage without it!! I hope one day I can afford a second bike, so I can take the Mrs out. But at this stage she can stay at home! Ha

Awesome video thank you, was looking at getting an 848 evo but think I will save up for the 899. Do they come with quickshifter etc

Morning Andy! That Duke is a lovely machine and I totally get why you have it in your collection - money no object, I’d have a “queen” to 👍 As for filming with the GoPro - nothing wrong with it, although the wide angle does give a bit of a fisheye effect, where as the DLSR is more natural. Andy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great bike!

I’m so glad that you’re still enjoying your beautiful Ducati and keeping it 👌

Re the use of the go pro, I hadn't even realised a different camera until you mentioned it, so I looked back at the 2-year review for comparison. I prefer the darker go pro colours and I thought the sound was better that the 2-year review, although I am not sure what camera you were using then :-)

Lovely bike good to keep it that way. I wouldn't tour or use it in bad weather, not when you've got that old BM.

899 with a Termi exhaust is going to easy on the eye and music to the ears The only difference with the change in camera is the slight fish eye effect on the peripherals.

Dream bike 😍

Thanks for the "4" year update, TMF. Camera quality is good, but for my taste a bit too wide-angleish. ;) Maybe you try a different setting so that your face does not look like pulling 12 g's. ;) Cheers, Tim

Nice to see the Pani get an outing TMF. I noticed you still have the OEM foot pegs. I found them extremely slippy personally on my 1199 - they were changed for the 1299/959 models to much grippier versions. Oberon do a good aftermarket alternative - I'd recommend them as another cheap, effective modification for you!

Great video. If I could choose I’d go back to the slr rather than the GoPro for the garage stuff. Just my 2 pence.

Yet another very informative video TMF. Re road tax would have to disagree re losing the remainder when selling on. I recently sold one of my bikes. Registered on gov website to that affect and within a week i received confirmation that I was no longer the registered keeper and a refund of remaining road tax. I always pay one off for tax as with a few bikes, you save a few quid.

Hi TMF, she's a real beauty at some point would love to add maybe an 899, or slightly older 916/996 to the garage. Would love to see how you get on with a tour on this bike regards comfort on longer mileage. Thought the go-pro footage was fine 👍 Thanks TMF.

Bit of a “fish eye” look with the GoPro sir. You can tune much of that out in settings by going to narrow view I believe. A large number of Panigale’s end up being “garage queens”, their just made for track or short canyon carving stints....I know as I have one myself. And why not if you can afford it and have alternative motorcycles? Good information and informative video.

Gorgeous!! Thanks for the update on the Duc!! Have you tried the Q3+ Sport Max tires from Dunlop? I replaced the Corsa 2 on my 765 Street Triple and like them way more. I don’t know if they cost a premium in the U.K. but in the US I think they are the best road going sport tire made at the moment. Brilliant!!

Another great video, Thanks @themissendenflyer. Have you replaced your stockpiles of Old Speckled Hen with non alcoholic beer and lemonade?!
