The object of this review is to provide useful information. What do I mean by that? Most reviews of the 1299 consist of EITHER some guy on a test-ride regurgitating googl-able statistics OR a former pro goosing it around a track and comparing it to other bikes that had a 1/10th faster or slower laptime. Not to say that either of those reviews don't have their place, but they seem to lack substance that would help potential buyers. In the end, most people are going to buy this bike to on the street AND for more than 15 minutes.
My first piece of advice is to disregard all my opinions. The question you need to ask yourself is "what bike do I want?" Deep down, you already know. It took me a while to decide on the panigale, but in the end it wasn't about "what's the best bike?" it was "what bike do I want."
I've owned this thing for two full riding seasons, and can confidently say that I've put it through enough to develop a long-term logical opinion that's worth sharing.
I'm going to take a different approach to this review, structuring it as the categories of a traditional whiskey tasting. The four main sections of which are "visual Analysis", nose, palate, and finish.
In whiskey tasting, "visual analysis" is pretty self explanitory. The color can indicate wood-type and char-level of the cask and hint at the duration the whiskey has spent in said cask. Swirling the glass will leave "legs" which can give clues to the strength and maturity of the spirit.
For the purpose of a motorcycle review, visually, it's hard to deny that this bike is one of the most beautiful pieces of machinery ever designed. From the beak to the seat cowl, I struggle to find anything displeasing. Digging a little deeper, you can tell that the attention to small details also gives clues to how much thought and effort has been put into this bike's composition. In this case, you can translate that to strength and maturity of the bike. I consider the published technical info to live here, and like I said, I'm not going to waste your time with that.
The only negative from this section would be that abomination that holds your license plate.
Back to whiskey tasting, The nose portion involves analyzing the drink's aroma. You're not getting a full taste yet, but smelling gets you damn close. One of my tricks is to use your hand to scoop up that one drip that always runs down the bottle after pouring a glass. Wipe that drip and rub both hands together to warm it up, and then cover your nose and mouth like you're about to sneeze. You can usually get a slightly different profile than dipping your nose into the glass.
As it pertains to motorcycles, this correlates to the first-ride sensations. These are things that you probably have a good idea of what to expect from the visual analysis step. Footpeg height, aggressive seating position, fantastic acceleration, brembo braking. The first sensation I experienced when I collected my 1299 was, "what have I done?" When you turn the key, you're greeted with a robotic whip from the fuel pump and light show from the TFT Display. The suspense of holding the starter button through the classic Italian start (which equals one eternity) eventually fires the 90* L-twin into a clatter and shake that reminds you how serious this bike really is. It's both impressive and intimidating, and videos don't do it justice.
The bike is super light and flickable. It'll dive in and hug corners, and stand up on the way out. The quick-shifter is fantastic. There's more power than anyone would ever need on the road And the TFT dash display is phenomenal but a little complicated. I actually made an entire video of its features.

"awww, noooo"
Hello Jenny of america
I totally cracked up when he said that. lolz
HAHAHAHA i was like WTF is this dud going on about?? is this Whisky commercial?? then bike then Whisky and i became like OMFG this dud is an adult and talk adult laungauge and he has seriously good points..You dont mention top speed you mention acceleration once and thats BRILLIANT!! This is maybe the best review i`ve seen on YT PERIOD!!
INstant sub
My last Ducati was the 848 Evo and I loved it, but that's the thing with Duc's, either you never own them, or you love them. Now I'm looking at another one, I came across your vid... After section 2 of your Scotch comparison, subscribed! I have to agree with Steve, hands down one of the most real and genuine feeling review for this beauty. Also, Nice Baron Sticker!
Moto Dutchman Don't know if you've been asked this before but have you ever ridden a 1199 before and if you have how are they in comparison? Asking because I am considering one of the two.
Hahahahahahaha the mirror part was the highlight of the review, I watched it over and over and I laughed so hard each time!
Moto Dutchman no worries. Thanks man and ride safe.
Steve Hash Dutchman one of the best, agreed. Cheers
seriously amazing video. top notch production quality you should give yourself a pat on the back. agreed with everything you said here
How everyone stops you for pictures:)
This was a great video seriously probably best real life review very unbiased and fair thank u so much and many miles more!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for ur videos - They have helped me with my 2013 1199 Panigale. It'd almost 10 years old - puts a smile on my face each time I ride it and a grimace each time my mechanical abilities are challenged by it's ability to rattle bolts and nuts loose - safety wiring has helped with that. I also ride my bike on cross-country junkets - third time across Canada and USA.
Practical bike = NO fun bike = YES. Scotch tasting and Ducati enjoyment go hand in hand. Again Thank you...
Amazingly good review. I've already known for a while that my next Ducati would be a Panigale, but with all the videos couching it as a thigh burning machine I've been looking for that real rider review instead of the typical "I'm a poor editor who never afford this, but I'll tell you my wisdom from spending 30 minutes on it."
Best damn bike review I've seen in 4 years. Keep'em coming!
You got my sub for two reasons. 1: the quality and pure awesomeness of the video. 2: the fact that you used the word "gander." Love that word :D
Your video was the first all around helpful one I have seen I’m thinking about getting one and you covered all the Rumors concerns and fears that I had. Thanks 🤙🏾
Just came from smo video. Loved this. First one of yours I watched. And now I can spend the weekend watching them all :) brilliant video
This review is brilliant. You have a natural voice and speed speech for it as well as the video was beautifully edited. Impressed!
I have never seen a review done in this way, bloody great job mate!! Really enjoyed it.
I'm glad it was entertaining!
Awesome review, really describes the quirks of owning a Ducati well. Last summer I bought my first Ducati, can confirm pretty much everything in this video.
Great video! I’m getting ready to pick up a 1299 next week. I’m beyond excited
Thanks for your review Sir!! Awesome job
Excellent summary of what you go through owning a Ducati! It is truly a brand that gives you that "one-of-a-kind" experience... still have and love riding my modded 1198, but have kept an eye on the 1299 Pani. Keep up the real world approach with your reviews. Subscribed.
Bro, I've always wanted someone to make a video like this! THANK YOU!
I truly appreciate your honesty. Great video,
I love the Italians! Great bike my friend! I want to get one of those in matte white
***** No doubt!! I raced a Anniversario on my channel the thing was crazy fast! Couldn't believe how much more power that 1299 has. Great video man!
***** Just like you said in the vid you look down and you don't realize you're going that fast haha I too much prefer the matte white or the classic red but I'm a fan of those gold rims :D
love your videos bruhh. get this bike
Great video, and opening comments are bang on.
I liked the vid as soon as you said "lets get right into it", fricken A+
I like this review.
Beautiful as hell bike.
Useful vid. Until this moment I was shopping for one but after all you've said now I must reconsider my options and check thoroughly all the pros and cons. Thumbs up
Serious this one of the best review videos, I have ever seen .. i loved the way you compared with whisky tasting ..
keep it up
Waiting for more to come ..
Absolutely love this review!!
An instant sub, absolutely loved the parallel with a whiskey tasted and especially loved your ending - get whatever you like the most and stop worrying about how it compares to everything else. Love the bar mirrors, really set the bike off imo
Fantastic vid and a well earned sub good sir!
Very professional review and very informative.
Just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos, not just this one. Bought a 2012 1199 Panigale earlier this year and have been using a few of your videos for maintenance/improvements. Damn, it's a great bike. It is not convenient to work on but so satisfying to ride on!
Now that's the kind of review an average buyer really needs. Great video man. The Pannigale is my dream bike and like you I am going to buy it someday irrespective of all the minor issues you rightly pointed out.
Amazing review by far the best I've seen ever.
Fantastic review. Echo'd all my thoughts when it comes to bike reviews and gave me everything I wanted to hear.
Well done
Also +1 to the italian start thing, my 999 takes a millennium
Absolutely FANTASTIC video
The writing is exceptional. Very entertaining and informative review.
Excellent review! Thank you.
i wish more reviews were made this way. thanks man.
Great video! Great camera use! Good information! Thank you!
I have owned this bike and traveled long distance too. Approaching 20k mikes in two years...this is a very ACCURATE review. Very Fast bike. Handles like a dream without the Ohlins...expensive to maintain, highly suggest you get extended warranty with any Euro bike. This bike loves track days. It was totally made for the race track.
yeah I plan to make more vids soon too...my bike broke this weekend on a high speed ride...just posted the vid..gonna take it down at midnight...
Often considered this bike and I very much liked the review. Nice video
This is a review worth looking at. Instant sub definetly
I recently got a 899 and this review is one of the best I've seen from the panigale series
Best review I've seen in a long while
I watched this 2 months ago. I have rarely been drawn back to a video after learning what the content was in this segment (motorcycle reviews). But I just enjoy the layout, visuals (obviously) and style of the video. So I’m back.
Welcome back! Glad it was entertaining!
A great review and brilliant video as always. My biggest gripe has to be the seat, think I may have to pick up an Air Hawk seat pad too.
Excellent review!
Hey found you via SMO's Subscriber Spotlight. (He did the same for me last month). This review is well written, edited and narrated. I look forward to checking out your other vids. Ride Safe!!
Thanks!!
awesome commentary bro. I have a 2015 1199 Panigale R (The Precious), and a 2014 Yamaha R1, and I am so much more comfortable on my Precious than the R1 in ever way. I felt the burn of the heat of the subframe when I rode the bike from the dealer home, but I forgotten about it since then. As for flickability, lightness (except in windy crosswinds), acceleration and comfort in the 170-200+ mph are unmatched... and that in Sport mode. Race mode is just mind blowing. I find that my inner thighs get fatigued after a good long hard ride just trying to hold on from not getting sucked off the bike at the speeds I mentioned.
And like you said there are many of bike now that produces similar power, but it's up to the individual taste, finances and riding needs.
keep the videos going.
Cool, nice review. I am in the honeymoon phase with my Duc ST3 (992). Nice to see the longterm love. Cheers
I've had one for a month now and I still watch this video all the time. Don't know why.
Great review man.
Great review bud. You went in with a plan and stuck to it while making concise points and expressing the way you felt about the bike in a weird but functional way. Lastly, BMW S1000RR.
Great review. Thank you.
Legend!! Just deposited on a 1199 !!! Thanks for the confidence boost
I liked this a lot. Great information
***** Appreciate it man! I wish you had more bikes lol I would love to see your true long term owners review on a Super Duke. Let's trade for a while ;)
This is the first video I've seen from your channel, and i'll 100% subscribe and check out your other videos. Your review was so refreshing, you're totally right about all the other reviews being either a 10 minute test ride where they stay under 4k RPM and say it's slow... Or a track review, that's not entirely relatable for a lot of people.
Good work :).
Excellent review 👏
Wow, this video is brilliant, absolutely love it. You earned a sub
I really enjoyed your honest review Moto. First video of yours I watched and it certainly wont be the last. Comparing an expensive, refined & beautiful bike to whiskey at first was a bit bizarre but towards the end it just made sense! I agree with the point you had regarding LC and heated grips when compared to the S1000RR although I would argue that I would happily go without for that glorious V-Twin rumble and plenty of torque!
Great vid, subbed!
Really Great Video,Subbed👍👍
love the review, I'll be doing one on the anniversario once I get more seat time.
Love this review, brilliant!! I'm looking at picking up a 1299S next year. Been riding a trusty old RSV Mille for 12 years now so time to move with the times I think. But I wanna stay with the v-twin so the RSV4 isn't going to cut it.
Excellent review!!! Thanks, helped me in my decision bro.
brilliant review !!!!
Very creative! I rode a 1299S on a track and have no idea how you can use it on the street ... when you get into the power it feels like the gates of hell have been opened!
Interesting. I love Whisky and know quite a lot about Single Malts. Him blending this with motorcycles - something I am just beginning to get into - is amazing!!
Subbed.
good catch! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Finally its up! Thanks dudee for listening our request!
Just earned your 1,000th subscriber! Awesome video and incredible production quality. You should be a jounalist for MCN.
Moto Dutchman Sure thing 👊🏻
Excellent review :)
Love the review! I found your channel a few days ago and have been making my way through all the great Panigale videos - you do really great work! Very entertaining to watch, and informative to hear. I dig a lot of the mods you've done - mirrors/signals, tail light, etc. Appreciate all the work you do on putting all this content together for the community!
I'm saving for either a 959 or 1299, thus the reason I'm "consuming" all your bike content :) Couple quick questions (and I apologize if someone, somewhere has already asked this): could you comment on the riding position, especially as it pertains to how often you "need" to ride in a tuck or near-tuck to get under the aero break from the front fairing/windscreen? I've seen that you've pegged some longer hours/trips (the snowboard mecca was sweet - btw!), and feel you may be in a better position than most to say at what point the riding position becomes more unbearable than livable, and also at what speed you have to tuck in to hold on. We're about the same height and size (according to what I heard in another vid) - I'm an inch shorter.
Thanks again for all the great content! Keep riding!
Awesome - thanks so much for the info! Very helpful!
I would normally be riding anywhere from short errands - 10-20 minutes - all the way up to weekend rides of 1-2 hours. Does it seem livable up to that amount of time (normal sportbike discomfort notwithstanding...)?
Also been looking at upgrading to the AGV Veloce, which I see you've had for a bit. What do you think of it after riding with it for so long?
Thanks again!
Good job as usual
Good angle of a review colourful ,,good stuff
im not a Ducati fan..but now I'm a fan of your review
Well done, great report
Please to do so I am a DUCATI NUT. :-)
Very nice job! Beautiful bike, great points. Ducatista to Ducatista....Bravissimo!
Moto Dutchman Shiny Side Up Always!
Cheers
good video entertaining and informative. i have a 2014 monster 1200 and i love it to bits not quite the in the league of the 1299 but still fun. i strongly suggest going to the Ducati plant in Bulogna Italy for the tour. great way to kill a few hours. well. aside from the flight. the food. sights etc.
Best review ever 🙌
Most sincere review of anything, ever.
Best bike review I've ever seen.
well they do fold but only once *CRACK* "ohhhh noooo"
Really nice review, I love how you combined the whiskey part made it way more intriguing .
the 1299 S model is no doubt my dream bike, I love it so much but the price tag is just insane (i'm just poor lol)
So i'll get my secondary choice instead this month which is the Yamaha YZF R1 (not the newest model, I hate the looks but the tech is dope)
This review just made my day !
The best I've seen.. and I'm loving this bike even more
Subcribing now ... ;D
Nice review brother
As said by everyone else here xD You did a freaking amazing job! This is what a sport bike review should be i'm not going out to the track every day!!!!!
Unusual but great video cheers Shane uk
Very Nice Review. Subscribed
i agree with what you said. At the end of the day, your gonna be happy you have the bike you actually want. no matter what
Nicely done.
Great video! That's what people are looking for in an owner review. I'm a chef and I really appreciated your whiskey tasting analogy. Subscribed!
Moto Dutchman thanks! I know I can break my personal best. There's some construction on 5th Ave that's holding me back at the moment.
Came for a good review, subbed for the mirror break!
@@Dutchman0 dude you gotta come ride with me one time, finally found a vlogger that lives nearby!
@@Dutchman0 haha, damn it, I knew it was too good to be true. Ride safe, I'm gonna go back to watching the rest of the vids.
A great bike review! Awesome video work with some excellent slider stuff! But I have a question - How do you keep it so clean?
Finally. Finally what I'm looking for
Thank u for a proper review :)
Legit review.
hahahhahhaha. You literally described all other reviews of the bike. I love how real you are. You just won a subscriber in your first 15 seconds.
Really nice review! I my opinion two things would improve this (and future) videos of yours:
1) turning off that automatic aperture/iso/whatever is constantly changing your lighting
2) some 3rd person footage of you riding it
Apart from this - as i already said - solid review! Keep it going!
Cheers.
Now Thats A Realistic And Practical Review! Great!
Brilliant - great video! Just enough Whiskey connotation, a little more would have been too much, but spot on - great video thanks!
Thanks for just getting to the review of actual ownership.
Looking at getting the 1299 s do you know about how many miles to the tank? I don’t really care about mpg just wanna make sure it’s over 120 miles cuz the rides I go on the gas stations are far and few between
