The 848 is a beautiful bike man. I almost prefer the look over the new panigales. Hopefully I'll be able to still appreciate a sports bike when I'm you're age :D

Yes I agree that the 848 Evo was the best Ducati ever made. And yes I have actually really ridden one not like most keyboard asses on YT. I brought the 1198 and what a ripper. Never had a single issue in 4 years. Problem is cheap ass idiot owners who don't maintain them like they should and then the bike breaks and they whine Ducati is crap.

It doesn't do 100 mph wheelies. Unless you have different sprockets on it and top out around 120. Maybe your stuck on kph though. Why are people so pathological? Especially in the comment sections.

This bike has a dry clutxh?!!! I thought you pour oil in the engine!!!

Right there with you. I have a Ducati 748 myself. Perfect balance between old school and modern look. A little herky jerky at low speeds, the clutch is a little "black and white" with no smooth roll-on, the dry clutch kind of sounds like a two stroke, or a genuine race bike, but broken if you don't know motorcycles, and the first gear is tall when putting around town. But it is a race bike, a track tool, and I guess that's what you have to deal with.

Only by about 20 hp, but it isn't a 600, it's a 899cc bike. However the inline 4 899cc bikes make more HP than this thing. However him comparing this to 600's in the video was kinda like...what?

Much more torque I guess?

@@losi8ightyew to wsbk rules they are the same. As, say, 1199 duc is the same as 1000cc inline 4.

Who cares about HP on the road? It's about torque, sound, the visceral feel of the bike, the way it hooks up out of corners and just pure riding pleasure. HP to cc doesn't matter either. All modern bikes have way more power than can be used on the road.

I wouldn't say it's just for name.

And as you said they're such a joy to ride.

I thought so, didn't he say it was like 1800cc?

Mark Green yes he did and the faster v4 is 998cc. Idk what he was on about. Ducati is making one of the fastest 1000cc motorcycles

@@lukahomersham9826 Yeah he was just inherently wrong in this video as a whole. Sure Ducatis are expensive. But that Ducati will kill every other bike on the track when you put the same rider on all bikes. It's just a fact

@The Vengeance of Diana , "Learn about it"?... So your stating anything that pre dates the ducati in this video is void (because there have been ducatis finish this race, you know this?).. However, you are correct about ducatis no longer being in iom.. Twins, and any twin just can't do the job. My 2 legs would never out run a dog, you know,,,, they have four legs.. They will just always be faster... Ducati has just finally bit the bullet and folded "for the better" and moved into the 4cylinder game.. We'll just have to see if the v4 panigale will make a showing..

I had a 998 and unfortunately had nothing but trouble with the cooling system,it got so frustrating that I got rid of it and bought a Honda VTR SP2,more power and torque than the Duke and no problems whatsoever.Fully deserving its title of Honda's Ducati killer!.

@The Vengeance of Diana Take it you've never heard of the Ducati Mike Hailwood Replica then , a bike that back in the the late seventies won the IOM tt .Sure it's a long time ago but seeing as you have said every Ducati it shows you know nothing about them and are just jumping on the they are a crap bike bandwagon maybe you should do some research before you slate them so you don't make an idiot of yourself

Well I do not want the flaws of your overpriced and overrated bikes. I will take first class Japanese engineered bikes over your bikes anyday of the week. Ducati cannot make anything that can rival an Hayabusa. Japanese bikes are more relaible, practical and better engineered. And by the way I have Italian ancestry.

@@ililxaphanlili2600 its because he never rode his friends 899 hes just lying lol

I grew up around 2 stroke road bikes, had an NSR 250 in high school. There will never be a sweeter sound than a dry clutch!

The R1 and BMW s1000RR both crush the V4r.

no. dry clutches are stupid. theres a difference in the opinion of the reviewer from what you hear and what you want to hear

BOBBY MAY tell me why dry clutches are stupid?

Lukas no oil means more friction which means more wear. more efficient sure but less reliable for a margin of that efficiency that most riders will not ever actually experience. basically just lazy and ducati calls it their roots. personally i am still gonna buy a v4 but it is a stupid concept.

BOBBY MAY i get what youre saying, but imo i still think the sound (especially ducatis) is worth the hastle. And as you mentioned, it is a Little more efficient at using the power. But i dont Think it is stupid in any Way on a Ducati, maybe on other bikes, but it is ducatis rutes and if you wanna get the full Ducati experience, you need to have a dry clutch. But thats just my opinion and you have your own.

I beg to differ. Day clutches are lighter and have less frictional losses, due to not being doused in oil. Also, speaking of shared oil, you can separate the clutch fragments and keep the actual engine / gearbox oil much cleaner than a wet clutch system where oil MUST be changed sooner. Dry clutches are also fantastic for racing, as they work like an on / off switch. Obviously, Ducati has always applied racing tech to their motorcycles, but have since also come to terms with wet clutches, ONLY because wet-clutch motorcycles are easier to use in low speed situations with no clutch burning (daily driving). Really, since the dawn of time, manual cars have used dry clutches operated with your left foot, and they can handle a shit ton of power all day (think Hellcat, Corvette etc). Heritage is just a small bulletpoint as to why Ducati uses dry clutches. Ducati isn’t being lazy with applying tech on their motorcycles that others wouldn’t, just to play safe. It’s what makes Ducati special. All Japanese in-line-4s literally sound and perform identical, with the same wet-clutch systems and sky-high RPM fun. A Ducati is fast everywhere in the RPM range with instant torque. You don’t need to rev the piss out of it, but when you do, it’s stupid rewarding. Anyway, cars also use wet clutches in DCT applications, but you don’t control those clutches and the actually clutch packs are stupid expensive to replace. I imagine a Ducati clutch is cheaper to replace than a wet-clutch system, since there’s no oil changing involved. Just my .02 cents, but I see way too Wet vs Dry clutch and Euro vs JDM

Best air-cooled motor they ever built 👍

Ben Daulton if service and maintenance costs are a concern, buy anything other than a Ducati. I had a Hypermotard 821sp, I loved it, but running costs were prohibitively high, and I ended up being scared to ride it in case something else broke and I had to deal with another massive repair bill. I sold it.

The big service is eye watering

Ben Daulton I had an 848 evo and several hypermotards. The big services would be £1000 easy, the small services would be £400, but there would always be extras (coolant change, fork oil change, brake fluid change etc) that would bump the overall cost up to about £1000. things you could do yourself, or take elsewhere, but if you declined, when you get the paperwork back, it would state “brake fluid change due, customer declined” which defeated the point of having full Ducati service. I took it to a local garage once because the Ducati main dealer was too far away. They adjusted my brakes incorrectly and cooked a caliper, abs sensor. You don’t want to know how much that cost. A screw vibrates loose from the abs ring and milled a groove in some components at the rear, you don’t want to know how much that cost. If you need to replace a hub, or a swingarm or bodywork or ANYTHING on a Ducati, it’s thousands, when it would be hundreds on a Suzuki. An abs sensor is £400. And you’d fail to find any second party suppliers

They are lovely bikes, but they are more expensive to run than anything else imo

channelofstuff yeah, power to weight is more more important than power to engine displacement.

Most technologically advanced? Dude I can adjust the settings of my Kawasaki from my phone ffs 😜

Bro he sells them for a living.

@@hereb4theend Japanese manufacturers were stuck in their ancient caves when Ducati and Aprilia had traction control, anti-wheelie, abs brakes, board computer, advanced fuel injection...etc now changing the clock on your obsolete Kawasaki is groundbreaking?

Ducati was one of, if not THE first with true DTC and they've consistently brought their electronics packages from track to road faster than any other manufacturer. Factor in that they produce around 1/5 the units per anum that Honda do and you see why they cost more.

@@poguemahone5476, полностью согласен с вами.

That's pretty low of the Ducati guy..typical. Lol

+ExProsiveGaming my 600 gsxr has more bottom end power than this. I think maybe I should test it

I just went ahead and compared the torque curve to different bikes. The 899 carries around 16 ft-lb of torque more than any 600 throughout the whole rev range. It's still around 10 ft-lb above the gsx-r 750 through the whole range. There's either something wrong with the 899 you're riding, or it's your mind.

It's a road bike, why would cc's matter, it's one of the the only numbers that literally makes no difference. Torque, weight, horses etc those numbers matter.

Sounds shite

Colin Penzel v twins are 90 degrees bud

pooplicker43 no their not.. that’s why there’s are called L twin .. the v twin the pistons are moved closer together as in a V ... and put pistons on top and the L , in the middle is the crank lol it’s where the piston sits in the Cylinders from the crank like dude it has the shape of the motor in the name !! Hahaha

Not hating on ducaties or anything but ill say what wikipedia says "there are no differences between a v twin and a l twin"... so l twin is just a marketing thing to make ig seem the bike has a more exotic engine

Shadow V. It’s not tho. I don’t have to explain this anymore, if anyone dosent get the point or difference between an L twin witch is usually 4 cams , fuel injected and water and fan cooled.. most V twins are air cooled , single over head cam and carburetor until 2007 in most harleys. And have huge Cc to make up for the lack of power per displacement , you can make a lot more hp out of a L twin with modern technology.

So does yours.

Ducati, a work of art.

connor koenig you must be a Ducat lover lol

Considering the rambling he was doing, that makes perfect sense.

Yes compare their extremely powerful fastest 0-100 cruiser to the sports bike, he's obviously complaining about the lackluster racing bikes, not the cruisers.

All of you guys are missing the point. He don't hate Ducs, not in the way you guys are thinking. At the end, he even claims ownership of this particular bike at one time. The Ducs and the Harleys are "elitists" bikes. I say this about Ducs, because you cannot (from what I understand) buy a Ducati 999 Monster unless you have owned another Ducati before, at least, at one time it was that way.

They just aren't worth the extra money

I've heard differently on newer ducs on reliability. Newer ones are about as reliable as it's competititors. It is a bit more expensive but at the same Time it's a completely different bike just due to its engine. I like all bikes each of em have their pros and their cons. You can't deny that Ducatis have a hell of a look

I agree the guy in this video has no idea what he's talking about.....An 899 is the equivalent in power to a gsxr 750.

@@JohnnyXoz uh , no. Easy way to get higher rates.

I would agree with that comment about Harley but Ducati not so much. Overpriced and expensive are two different things and Harley's are definitely overpriced unless you feel the cost of admission into the Harley club is worth it. Ducati is giving you all the latest and greatest tech for the price you pay and thats just what it costs for the most part. Harley, your buying into the club, Ducati, your buying the latest tech which I will admit might bite you in the end.

Harley isn't even American made. It's Taiwanese.

Do your research and educate yourself then bud. Theres way more to it than "Just the name." Very uneducated and ignorant thing to say.

There's only so much technology in a motorcycle. I'm having a hard time understanding how ducati can claim there's better. Maybe it's not Chinese wires and solder ? That's it.
