  • There are a lot of reasons why I love motorcycles. But the key element is the engagement between machine and rider. The 959 is the fourth Ducati that I've owned but the first true sportbike. I wanted to take some time after 6 months of living with a Ducati Panigale 959 to talk about what it's like to ride on a daily basis. Is it the best daily sportbike? I talk about why I think so.

    It's amazing we have literally the same taste in bikes, the Monster 696 was my 2nd bike after I learned how to ride on an old 70s yamaha, after the Monster i wanted cooler styling and more power and went with the Streetfighter 848 as I got bit by that Ducati bug. I was close to selling my SF848 this fall and getting a Monster 1100 as I missed the riding style and height of the Monster but decided to keep the SF instead. I had the same thought regarding those 2 bikes about heavy clutch, not liking low speed...great video. love the 959 and great insight on owning it day to day.

    Cant agree that my 2015 1299 Panigale is a good "daily" motorcycle. Its a fixed-purpose corner carver which happens to be comfortable. However it is like trying to tame a lion at city speeds. It wants to GO and stay that way.

    • @ZachChmael
      @ZachChmael  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I feel that for sure. The 959 is a bit easier around town, though I’m blown away how much the panigale settles into It’s own once you take It to stretch it’s legs. I’m sure the 1299 is unbelievable

      @@quicksilver1752 The monster is a quick bike around town that's for sure. Easier to just throw a leg over and go have fun. I've only ridden the the 1200S and older 1100 evo, but those both were great bikes and definitely felt fast. I'd imagine the new monster will be quick as well (though I think it's ugly imo). The monster's don't give you the same sense of speed you get with the Panigale in the higher rpms, this bike just pulls harder and harder the faster you go. But I definitely don't think you can go wrong with a monster, awesome bikes.

      @@Ещёодинрусский the 959 definitely felt lower to me that my Streetfighter and Monster 1100 I owned, but It never felt ‘too small’ by any means. I’m not sure what bike you’re coming from but the riding position will likely feel more tucked and compressed, which is less comfortable for long rides but definitely gives you a ton of feel and control over the bike. I’ve ridden an S1000rr and it’s bigger and a bit more comfortable, but I still always found myself wanting to be back on the Ducati

    I've never liked Ducati's except for the looks. Their engines need more cc's to compete with Japanese bikes in the same class, they're less reliable, parts are more expensive and the riding positions are uncomfortable.

    • @ZachChmael

      To each their own. I don’t think It’s all about cc’s. I’ve ridden objectively faster bikes, but they don’t give you the same feeling that Ducati’s do. That being said, I definitely understand why people would prefer Japanese bikes
