In my opinion youre gonna learn way slower on this bike than on a 400 or 500 class. Also, if youre gonna learn by pushing limits, lowsiding a used ninja 400 is going to be way cheaper than panigale v2.
@@v2pony Looking at the previous gen, not a huge fan of the new gen front end. Looking at picking up the black version end of this month. Just a little nervous as this is my first real sports bike. I'm more familiar with the upright riding position on my mt07. How long did it take you to adjust to the riding posture? How tall are you if you don't mind me asking. cheers
@@rustydono9916 for me it wasn’t so bad since I only rode prior a Honda unicorn for 20 or so hours as a learner bike during lessons, I will say this though big difference in positions since you are not holding the handlebars more so holding the bike tightly with your knees while the hands are gently on the bars at an angle, that took a little to get used to and had to catch myself when I was putting too much weight on the bars. BUT you will get used to it and it will be second nature to you just make sure to get a proper posture and not get into any bad habit. For height I’m like 180cm
Hey man, this video came right on time as im pretty much set to buy a 15' pani 899 and i dont have experience besides the motorcycle classes in my country. A few questions, how do you master the clutch? In my last class i sometimes stalled at traffic lights but i still have no reason why. Also when do you use the front and when do you use the rear brakes?
Always release the clutch slowly, don't fully release the clutch when the bike aren't moving, if you feel your bike starts to move, add throttle and then let go of the clutch, slowly, that's it. About braking if you want a full stop brake use 70% of your front brake and 30% of your rear brake, because our weight when we're coming to a stop is shifting forward. If when we use our rear brake too much the bike wheel will skid. Additional tip, don't use front brake when your handle bars aren't straight, and also use the progressive braking technique, don't just grip the brake, just slowly grip the brake then progress to grip it harder. (sorry for the grammar)
Hello! basically what @Kurtxsuuu said but also practice finding the bite point of the clutch, when you feel the bike start moving while just releasing the clutch is where the bite is, therefore after practice you will always know at what point to slowly add gas etc
If you cant use the clutch dont buy an 899 that bike does not forgive mistakes. I had one 2 years. Extremely sensitive Clutch,Brakes n Throttle. Buy a CBR 300cc first master it.. then consider something like a 899
@@kenax1te382 The person who made this video is an idiot and you should not listen to them lol. If you have little experience on a motorcycle you have no place getting on a Panigale. People that don't know how to ride motorcycles that try to learn on something too powerful are merely surviving to their destination, not actually learning much.
V2 has Power to take you to the moon. 0-120mph it felt faster than my BMW S1000rr more Torque after 120mph the BMW wakes up and disapears. Careful with that, its an advanced rider bike.

Clickbait title, dumb video. Obviously a Panigale should NOT be a first bike.

Absolutely agree
Thats true, i have a cb 500 96´and with 60 cvs is more than enough to have a great track day and train movement in the bike.
@v2pony Respect tbh
I have the panigale 899 as my first bike, I love it even though my back does hurt after a while 😅😅
Perfect timing, literally went to sus the v2 this afternoon.
How did you find it? are you looking at the 2025 version on the previous gen like this one?

Is this the base model for $16 grand? Seems like the base models are really hard to find.
@@davetysdal5442 this is the base model yep:)
