Stumbled upon your video by chance, very informative! Only thing of notice for me was that whomever it was that was filming that day sounded like a straight hater! Thanks for the vid though!
We’re glad it was informative for you. The guy filming, otherwise known as me, replying to you right now, isn’t a hater at all. Ripping on your friends is a natural thing. There’s nothing but love for Albert and his 899 here boss.
Great video my Panigale 899 has almost 30,000 miles and i ride the bike super hard. I bought the bike because i saw the forum of the girl who made it to 80,000 miles on her 899. Hope to get mine to 100,000 miles one day
I sold the bike recently but it was still running excellent! My friend's 1199 has around 75k miles with no issues- he even overshot the 30k desmo service by 25k miles lol
Funny thing is i just got my 959 panigale 4/8/23 got home went to clean it a couple hours later and found a fork leaking 🤦🏽♂️ lol im like damn really so now i got to take it back and play the waiting game and see how long thatll be hopefully my excitement doesn’t fade away either 😂 mine barely hit 2,700 miles almost new for a 16’
I know a guy thats got a 999 from 2003..? he does his own maint and the bike is still running. He doesnt ride it much because his wife refuses to let him put miles on it. #whipped.
Hey man, great video! Looking into a higher mileage 899 around 23000 miles and your video was informative. Has there been any issues since the video and what mileage is it at now? Thanks!
Hey great to hear from you! Currently just under 22k with most of my rides since this video being aggressive canyons. No issues just need to let air out of the clutch when I ride hard but that’s a very common Ducati hydraulic clutch thing
@@spencerhawes2977 of course! I really do think Ducati has come a very long way in terms of reliability since being bought out by VW. I don’t have any subconscious fear of being stranded when I ride
Hey man I’ve been bingeing your videos and have been looking into getting a 899 or 959 and I wanted ask what year is yours and how much is insurance costing you ?
I officially sold it in December mainly due to not riding as much as I used to. We still have the RC51 I plan to do a video soon on the final thoughts of the bike over the course of time I owned it!
Problem with Ducati is Not only they are Not reliable, parts Take a Long Time to arrive (even in Germany) and Costs for maintenence are astronomical ....
I'd consider them to be reliable these days. My shifter spring was a very random occurrence in the grand scheme of failures and the friends I have with Ducati's along with myself have all experienced Honda like reliability otherwise. In the off chance there is a failure, it certainly does take forever to get a part and maintenance is definitely much more expensive; no doubt about that!
@@veejay120793 If they are that reliable, tell me why Every ducati owner Ive met at Meets always said that theyve had problems with em? Lol Test rode one the Pinagale V4 Things a monster and was going to buy one, but ive steered away from it as soon as i heard others peoples experience with it.
@@vistalacorsa5343 So what kind of problem are they got?I ride with a lot of Ducati people there’s some 60k miles+ trouble free not even stators.They used to be alot of maintenance but once Audi took over Ducati they’re easy no more belt change, just desmo service every 15k(some people skip till 30k)
@@veejay120793 From what Ive remembered, Hard starts specially when bike is warm, Leaky gaskets sometimes even before a few thousand miles on the engine, smoky startups, and at worse case scenario, one of my buddies had an engine failure even before the valve service was due. Idk, maybe ill just have to buy a 1299 or a V2 to experience it first hand Lol,
Besides the shifter fork detent spring mentioned in the video which is pretty rare, my bike has been bulletproof. Have a friend with a 1199 Panigale with 65k and zero issues and a friend with a Monster 1200s with 60k and zero issues. Pretty reliable
Those springs cost around 5 dollars from www.oemducati.com/ and you can buy the separately, think your workshop robbed you. Not your fault but maybe good to check there first in the future
Good to know! It probably won’t happen again but I know for next time. This particular spring came mounted on the gear when it came in and both the mechanic and I questioned why the gear was necessary if the spring is usually the piece that fails but oh well

Cheers from a 959 owner. I’m at 34k 🎉. Luckily I haven’t had any issues.
How were your valves on the second desmo service?

Just stumbled on the video, I know it is four years old, how does the bike holding up ? How many miles ?

Hey 👋🏽 I’m thinking of buying a 959 , it’s only done 266 miles so like new 🎉 Are there any bad points about the 959 you found ?
What are your thoughts on Ducati reliability?

That’s great to hear it’s been reliable!

@@BalancePointMedia that’s true! The Germans I’m sure improved their reliability! Thanks for the help man 😄
@@spencerhawes2977 My pleasure!! Glad I could help!
Yes I’m looking to buy the same boxes that you have. I just hope the real liability is there great video
I had no issues while I owned it. Would do it again for sure if I went back in time
Hey man I’ve been bingeing your videos and have been looking into getting a 899 or 959 and I wanted ask what year is yours and how much is insurance costing you ?
I was paying $750 a year full coverage with pacific specialty it's a '14
@@BalancePointMedia thanks for the reply that’s pretty good your in cali right like Menifee area ? I’ll be picking it up this weekend really excited 👍
@@leo._.t1965 Indey and I are in the San Gabriel area but the guy who bought my 899 was in Menifee I’m not sure if he’s sold it by now
@@leo._.t1965 and best of luck with your purchase!!
@@BalancePointMedia thank you 🙏
Bro give me honest advice for comfort stability safety and speed ....triumph tiger 900 vs ducati v2s vs bmw gs850
The v2 is definitely a much different type of bike than the other two. What type of riding will you be doing mostly?
Great video man
Thank you for your support!!
Funny as hell. I’m looking at buying one very soon. What are the odds you’re also a Nissan guy. I have a 73 240Z with an L28ET swap 😂
Awesome man! We definitely love both the panigale and Z cars.
great video i am getting a ducati soon
You'll love it!
Do you still have the bike?
I officially sold it in December mainly due to not riding as much as I used to. We still have the RC51
I plan to do a video soon on the final thoughts of the bike over the course of time I owned it!
Cheers bru👍
That 200 dollar part first had to come from China the they ship it out to make it look like ur 15 dollar part is exotic haha maybe
LOL! maybe huh

@@BalancePointMedia good to hear that at least for you they were reliable 👍. I still Like Ducati, but Not the price politics xD
@@silversurfer4326 he has 2k miles. How can he give an opinion on reliability.
YEE
Very nice channel. Keep it up
Thank you! Hope you subscribed for more!
@@BalancePointMedia I did your the first channel I got into vehicles for.
Mine spun a bearing at 21k 😩
Oh no! Did you get the motor replaced?
Idol Albert 😎😉👍👌💯
lets ride :)
Bump
24000 is nothing. Make another review at 50
Got a buddy with 69k on his 1199. Going strong
Nobody likes it when it's floppy!
So handsome
Bike
2000 mikes in a year? Whats the point of even having it
That was the year of the shutdown but regardless I don’t ride as much as I’d like
Should have bought Japanese bro.😂😂
After 6 Japanese super sports and super bikes it was time for a change and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat 👍
Most unreliable brand in the world.
You never had one.My Ducati’s were more reliable than my Yamaha,triumph and Kawasaki.
