Ktm 1090r gravel road mission. These bikes are pretty physical as you can see. I was pretty worn out after three hours of this type of riding.

Ducati 1098 at Hampton downs race track NZ gopro 4k
มุมมอง 3442 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my third trip to hampton downs this time on the Ducati 1098 with Pirelli Diablo Super Corsa Tyres and Suspension done on site. Bike has quite a bit more power than the 996 but the feel on the 996 is better I think. Perhaps I'm just used to the 996. Anyway, next time I will bring a Panigale 959 Corse...

Hampton Downs 15 March 2020 onboard a Ducati 996. I am riding on the track for the second time. This is the Slow-Medium Group, and I am riding very conservatively as I am still getting a feel for track riding. The variety of skill levels as you can see is quite vast in this group. Excellent fun, I recommend track riding to any motorcyclist, at least do it once.

Hey mate, liked your video - I'm in the process of buying my first ducati, my last ride was a k8 gsxr 1000, I'm tossing up between a 996 and 10/1198 - I see you've had both - what's your advice? Which bike did you prefer overall? Will be mainly road riding with maybe a track day here and there. Cheers!
I really like the power of the 1098. The 996 is a great bike but the 1098 is a bit more fun if you like speed and power (don't we all). I would go for the 1098. I sold mine to buy a 959 panigale corse which I have now, but I wish id kept the 1098. All three are great but If I could only have one it'd be the 1098.
Looks like some steep cliffs
Hi JF, the 996 is the best sounding bike ever and it rides really well on the track. (Owning one of these I know about this.) BUT - Looking at you - th-cam.com/video/qZ4WGxXK5ho/w-d-xo.html : Owning a Supermoto and a 996 I have to say: You should do some practice! A Super Moto has about half the power you have in your 996 and your chassis is much better prepared for a race track. => This bike shouldn't have been an opponent to you on this track... ;-> BUT: Always stay on top of your bike and have a lot of fun (as I have)...
Thanks for your comment. I totally agree I need a lot more practice and intend to go to every track day I can, I'm not setting the world on fire! but this was my first track day ever and I was being very conservative as I'm just getting a feel for track riding. There are some pretty loose cannons on the track from what I've seen and I really don't want to get tangled up with one and trash the 996. Hence I've bought a 959 Panigale that I intend to take to the track next which I hope will be less precious about. Cheers!
@@hotspringbop The most important thing is that you have a lot of fun! ;-) P.S.: Edit The 2nd most important thing is that you stay on top of the bike and don't crash...
Track days are great fun, such a great way to get a feel for a bike made for a track. All the best!
Nice ride. I may have a solution how to fix your fuel reserve light
Thanks. I do run it on reserve fuel usually. So I believe it is coming on and off as the bike leans over etc. Is that what you mean?
