AsAn I
Poppa yamster. How come you never talk about the s2r series? I’d love to see your ride and review of the s2r1000. I’ve owned mine for 3 years and it’s hands down my favorite bike I’ve ever owned. They’re simple, analog, reliable and very diy friendly without serious risk of ruining your motorcycle aslong as you’re somewhat mechanically inclined.
@@jakemustian99 look into the Ducati diavel
You need to a video tutorial explaining how to insure a motorcycle.... the costs involved, what to buy, what you can do without, what you must carry on your policy if you finance .. many young, new riders go to buy a new or used motorcycle only to find their insurance costs more than their car or the motorcycle payment per month if they finance. AGAIN you know I'm a huge fan of the TRIUMPH DAYTONA 955i 2002> w/ the 147hp Cosworth designed triple mill.. SSSA single sided swing arm.. standard telescopic forks and all... these are incredibly powerful bikes w/ the coolest intake induction howl since the L twin testastretta.. I mean it's just a HOOT.. gear it down -1T on the F sprox, +4 or 5T rear... and hold on.. Tune ECU offers a great selection of proven safe maps for the Sagen 2nd gen ECU.. you can even have TRIUMPH download a tune for you 10181 TOR Triumph Off Road map add a K&N filter .. dry no filter oil.. and you have a very insurable fast large bore sportbike ... An in depth video on insuring your motorcycle would be very valuable to your subscribers, anyone in the market !!!!
If you are considering one of these bikes, call your local dealer and check out the prices for parts and service - cheap to buy doesn't mean cheap to own.
All bikes are expensive to run, it’s just that most people don’t maintain Japanese bikes and the next owner is stuck dealing with it. Busted fork seals, valves not adjusted or checked, cables and chains etc. I see it everyday as a professional.
Interesting point of view. Well…
So far my Ducati has been cheaper to own and maintaine than my Harley. So there’s that.
Definitely not anymore expensive to own. Unless you’re dumb enough to pay someone ridiculous prices to do that stuff. Most you can do yourself. And a vavle job only costs me just under 500$.
Exactly, adjusting the Desmo valves every 2,500 miles geta expensive. But first you have to find a Ducati mechanic!
Loved my Duck. But got frustrated when no one within 150 miles could properly work on them
@@stever8776 there's do it yourself kits for that and tutorial videos. Know friends that did it without problems
Started on a monster 797 and love it. The sound is like an angry sewing machine . I still look back at it getting off after owning a year🥵
lol, I still look back after 7 years. So I got other 4 ducatis. They are amazing
"The sound is like an angry sewing machine" THIS IS THE PERFECT WAY TO DESCRIBE IT!!!!! LMAO, been riding the 821 for a year and always tought how could I describe the sound!
Recently bought a V2 Panigale. An absolute BLAST to ride and own.
Previously owned a CBR literbike and though it was more powerful and fast I enjoy riding the Ducati far more and the emotional component and beauty of this bike cannot be overstated
The 999 didn't really work at the time but it's looks have improved over the years. I think it was ahead of its time.
That 999 stood out over absolutely everything made at the time. It’s still stands out today and draws attention over any standard Japanese bike.
I always said it was ahead of its time. People were just not ready for it. In saying that, whenever I would go anywhere on mine, people would drool over it, ask what it was or take photos!
Absolutely. My brother in law owns the R model and they are quickly rising in price. The 749's are also great; like a 999 with the training wheels left on.
I did it today I passed my MSF I got my license!!! All because PapaYam sparked a new passion in my heart a few months ago
Got my Ducati 848 from 2008 a couple of days ago... I LOVE that bike!!
I just had taken the motorcycle safety class, graduated. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10. Yammie Noob, I have watched you for years, thank you for the encouragement, inspiration and information. 🐙
This was the video I've been waiting for Yammie to make this whole time. Thank you Yammie Noob!
The Monster and 999 were the bikes that made my childhood. Love to see you gave them a mention. Soon to be a Monster Owner and I can't Wait
You always know when you're on a Ducati.
Recently took out the 2021, 937 Monster Plus and while I'm not a fan of the way the L-twin feels, vibrationally, it was a blast.
The 916/996/998 is a legend. Have owned several and currently own a 2004 998 Matrix Edition making 137 hp @ the wheel. The 998 was the best version of the bike, with the new Testastretta engine; it made more power and was more reliable than the 916/996. The Desmo Valve system is genius and on the 916/996/998 checking valve clearance and adjusting them is not hard to do your self, it requires that you take your time. I've put 9,000 miles on my 998 in the last 2 years and valves are still perfectly in spec. While I love my 2021 Panigale V4 nothing beats the feeling you get riding the 998.
Good info mate, I'm looking to buy an 996 atm 👍
Recently bought a 748S, which is the little brother of the 916. Although my previous CBR600RR was faster, lighter and more reliable, I love the Ducati a lot more. The L-twin has great amount of character which the Honda kinda lacked.
Watch out for those rocker arms. They get spendy really fast.
@@derekeboyd Yes I know, this winter I'm going to pull it apart. Check the rocker arms, do the fuel pump mod with the alloy nut and probably replace the rectifier with a better one. Changed the oil already, and the filter tube in the side of the engine was clean as a whistle, so the first signs are good so far. I'm currently the third owner, guy I bought it from bought this bike from his uncle, also always maintained by a respectable Ducati shop so I have high hopes for this bike.
@@derekeboyd Keep up the oil changes and don't flog the bike when the engine is cold. Simple.
@@lrowlands53 The oil changes get pretty spendy too, lol. But not rocker arm spendy.
The CBR6000 has the lowest drag coefficient of any motorcycle due to it's nose cowl design ..Ducati used the CBR600RR nose design on their latter 749.999 nose cowl to get the drag coefficient down The ..just some useless FYI
Would love to see a similar video for Aprilia! (And maybe MV as well), as they're often far less covered with their earlier bikes
I own a 2017 Ducati Desert Sled! Made some mods and upgrades on it and now it is PERFECTO! Love it!!
I personally consider the 1098 the real successor to the 916 line up and (obviously) I love mine.
For the retro look though rather than the Scrambler, I’d would have picked the Paul Smart. Such a beautiful bike.
Dude. I love this video! Super informative yet insanely funny at the same time!!!
I'm hoping to rope in a white 848 EVO myself.
I'm 64, I've had back surgery and recent total knee replacement.
I no longer do my own repairs. I loved my Ducatis. Especially the Monsters and MultiStradas.
In the 70's Triumph Bonnevilles always had electrical problems. We called Lucas the Prince of Darkness. After replacing the wiring and ignition systems they were Great!
BMW Boxers are easy to work on as was my Moto Guzzi Norge.
So now a nearby competent mechanic is Paramount to me!
Cheers
Does anyone agree the 999 looks absolute gorgeous?
The dork on the video is a mockingbird fence rider. Just cause some wack magazine touts the 916 as the be-all isn't true. Phuck nostalga... the 999 ruled in the looks category. I'd rather a 996 or 998 over a 916. I'd take the 999R over them all.
749/999 is one of my favorites
Looks better in yellow.
@@thetonetosser Yep, it would have to be a yellow one! 👍
Absolutely beautiful bike
My first bike was a 749, I loved the way it looked and still do. Wish I still had the bike.
You forgot the Monster 695. I have one, I like it. The power band is very linear, good for a beginner I think. The monsters I don’t think really stand out as far as looks or performance go, they’re just fun bikes to ride man.
Riden a 2006 999 since Christmas and I am delighted with it. I love the looks (mine is in Italian flag colours). Its great value at £5000 for a 4000 mile model, goes like stink withj 130+ hp and handles like it's on rails. Completely delighted and reccommend to anyone!
@Sureño Nicky Having ridden a 500 Velocette Thruxton all my life (41hp) 140 is a wakeup! Enjoy! 😏
That SV650 line was brilliant, funny and unbelievably true 👌
On paper they have the same specs aswell. 74(ish) bhp, 48.5ft/lb torque. Same two valves per head L twin design.
I am the exception that proves the rule. The 999 is my favorite Ducati. Love the cyclops look!!
The 999 has aged so well. I’ve had a 748S, 996 monoposto and 848 EVO…but now a 749S monoposto in yellow is on my radar.
@@justinmckeown9029 there's a dealer by me that has an '03 999 for 10k. Wanted it so bad but knew it wasn't a good starter bike lol. Went with the '22 Nightster instead 🤣
@@cjdent90 can’t go wrong with either, but just remember, it only goes as fast as you tell it to. Hopefully you’re able to get a 999 eventually! Ducati’s from the early to mid 2000’s are unlike anything else out there.
I had a friend buy one and at the beginning I didn't like it, but it grew on me. On the first look it made me think of one of those Evangelion mechas.
@@aaronaaronsen3360 there's one for rent on Twisted Road a little ways from me that wanna take a rip on for a couple days. Afraid I'll get buyers remorse.
👍 Great Video! Appreciate the time and efforts you put into your video's.
30 years ago I was on my way to the Australian GP and pulled in to a country station for petrol/gas. The old guy behind the counter said he hadn't seen many bikes coming through yet except for a group of Dutaci's. Ever since that day they've always been a Dutaci to me.
Ducatis are amazing to look at in person, and I ogle one sitting in my favorite bicycle shop every time I visit (you can love both pedals and pistons)…but the new ones don’t come with twin horns 🎺🎺 like the Interceptor 650!
Seeing the specs, I'm relatively impressed. Especially considering how smaller displacement engines are just making awesome power. The tech just keeps getting better and so does the cost of that performance. A used mt-09 for 4500 making super bike (10 years ago) power is awesome. As is this channel. Not a Ducati guy, but my oh my, they're pretty. ❤️
A note about the early SupeSports, be cautious with the ones that came with 16inch wheel size, they have a tendency to display inconsistent handling behavior - hence why they were only produced for a short period after which the standard 17inch was introduced. Otherwise great bikes, light and truly classic Italian.
The 2021 Supersport is absolutely fantastic. All day drivability. Loads of torque. Great in town. Better on the highway.
I started on a multisdrada 1000ds. It is such an amazing and comfortable bike to ride. Easy to wheelie and fast as hell
Thanks for another interesting and informative video 👍🏻
I love my 2020 Ducati supersport !
It does everything , fast , reliable , gorgeous , up ride position , comfortable seats for 2
I absolutely love my supersport. I really don’t understand why it doesn’t get more love. Aside from cruise control, it bests an RS660 in nearly every way, and I hear people gushing over the 660 all the time. As far as 2 up, I just never could get comfortable with anyone weighing me down back there. That goes for any sport bike though.
i too love my supersport. Pretty great bike so far.
Agreed! I personally own a 748(same look with 916), a desertsled and a hypermotard 950
Well, now I feel even worse for selling my 748S last year. Thanks Yammie. I'd be happy with any Ducati at the moment, but am particularly partial to the 848. Singing the praises of Ducatis raises their market value - even more people want them. I can attest to the 748 as a sensory overload experience quite unlike any other motorcycle. Anybody want to swap theirs for a 2009 BMW F650GS (800) adventure dad bike in pristine condition. Smooth, reliable and boring?
I def thought you'd talk about the Diavel here. Especially considering your review video of it!
Ducati Hyperstrada 939 - my first bike. Incredible bike, not too fast (in urban mode) - great beginner bike.
797 my first motorcycle - wouldnt change it for anything. Best for daily usage and weekend trips
I have a 797. Stock, the fueling is awful (EU5 compliance) and the front forks barely adequate. Having removed the cat and fitted a ShiftTech link pipe and can plus Rexer ECU flash, the engine is superb. I fitted Andrianni fork cartridges and springs and now it's a real twisty road (and track) burner. Bloody good. It's also pretty unlike the subsequent Monsters that are, monstrous.
Sacramento native here. I can confirm that we are talking about motorcycles AND area codes. And the 916 is the best of both.
Ive had a 2016 Hypermotard for a year now. Can't say I'm happy with the electrical problems, high maintenance costs and choppy fueling. It's what I imagine an Italian supermodel girlfriend would be like to have. Dead sexy but spoiled and without manners. Looking forward to the day she leaves me.
My Partner and I have a Monster 796, it's a great bike if a little short feeling in the riding position (my partner likes to stretch out on longer rides and her butt knocked off the little rubber trim on the rear seat cowl... she's about 5ft 7)
It's a fantastic feeling bike to ride, smooth power delivery, lightweight, nimble and that great Duc sound - when it warms up... it's grumpy and temperamental when cold... so if you test ride one let it warm up, and it takes a while for it to do so.
The 999 WSBK bikes where something special. They had almost nothing comparable to the street models and ran the damn things so hot that signs of pistons melting was not abnormal after a race. Remember, those bikes where running against the K5 Gixxers among others.
R versions had completely different heads plus sand cast cases. But even the base and S models where pretty sweet for a 1000cc twin, I like to think those where Ducati’s response to the RC51 but it probably just had more to do with the aging of the 916, 996/998 models.
Reliable and fast but not cheap to maintain. Them desmo valve services will make u cry 😢. I owned a 2005 999. Great bike till it was time to get that service done😬
I am riding a 136hp 999 (2006) and it runs 30.000 km without any major flaws. It still looks like new.
Great video
I own three of five
748s, monster 620, 1100 hypermotard,
I believe 999 is a beautiful motorcycle , you don’t see to many of them
Obsessed with my Ducati Monster 821 in Silk White - it looks so good and rides so well
Just dreading when the time comes to service it
Very informative
You are an awesome dude.
Nice bike you give away as well. Is it only to US users ? I guess europe is out of question :D
Perfect! Thanks for mentioning my bike...and a bit of Hebrew at the end!
I think they make a great looking bike (well some of them anyhow) but there are a few things that would stop me from buying one. I don't like the under seat exhaust thing. It might be nice on a cold day though. I don't like the desmo valve idea because I'm not rich, and again because I'm not rich the price to buy one. Style wise it would be hard to beat the yellow one you guys had as a give away bike.
I was today years old when I first saw Ducati and the words reliable and cheap used together.
One more jewel, the Multistrada 1100. Handles like a naked bike, has all the versatility of a tourer. It might not be your cup of tea when just watching at it, but have a ride and you will be hooked.
The current SuperSport 950 S offer dual under seat exhaust, ...way cool looking
The Ducati 1198 was a torque monster. It has less peak power than japonese liter bikes, but until 10K RPM (where that engine ''stops'') they produce up to 30 hp more than competition... It´s totally diferent than the ''rev to the moon'' of the Panigale V4R that ''starts'' to produce some great power after 10k RPM.
1:42 that truck turning left made me flinch lol
Need to buy either a 916,996 or 998. Such a beautiful bike
Moved from naked bikes onto a multistrada 1260s with a full system. Absolute mayhem with practicality!
I had a tricolour 1098s and I loved that bike so much. I hit a deer on it last year and ended up totaling it :( I miss it. I have an 1199 now
They also made the monster 659 which is a learner approved bike sold in Australia and new Zealand
While I agree with the little 797 Monster being on the list IMO the latest 937cc Monster is the best Monster made, although it kicks out just 111bhp, it's by far the lightest with a ton of torque.
My first bike was Ducati supersport 750. I think it was a great beginners bike, with only 65 hp and 61nm of torque.
if you look for a 916a 748 is also a great bike, I grew up with the 748 of my grandpa and until now no other bike can match the sound of the 748
Hey what’s about a starter Ducati bike for some one new? Love the looks
I love my 999. It's best friends with my Aprlia Tuono Factory. Life is good.
I bought new a 1995 900sscr and still have it with 60K on the clock. Still a very fun bike even with the K1600 and Multistrada it shares garage space with.
Of all the bikes I've owned, my current 1998 900ss/cr is by far my favourite.
I have always loved the way the 999 looked
I love my hypermotard. Mine is a 939 SP.
Notable the 916-996-998 had a smaller brother the 748. 999 had the 749. The smaller brother was only displacement wise & a thinner rear tire.
THANKS for the video. Great history. CORRECT, the SCRAMBLER'S are the most reliable Ducati,, never break !
Best starter bikes, which are the easiest and cheapest to maintain. They perform the best when you’re off-roading. 👍🏿
As someone who owns 2 Ducati's I'd like to share a few thoughts.
First, there's a lot of comments here about maintenance and parts and sure if you go the dealership route then maintenance will be pricey. But really valves are the only difficult thing (belts are fairly easy if you take your time) and they're no harder to work on than other bikes and the support on forums and the like is incredible. Any question you have, someone has tried to do it and asked it beforehand. Don't let the Italian thing scare you away if you're handy.
Second, I think this video is awesome but it misses one critical thread in the Ducati story. Specifically them putting their race bike motors in street bike platforms. I would say the S4 is a better 916 and the S4R is a better 996 and the S4RS is a better 999. And then a street fighter 1098 and 848 are better than their respective superbikes. All the power and hooligan fun on a bike you can actually ride outside a track.
It's amazing that you people are all the same.
@@vaportrail226 ?
I need to jump on a street fighter sometime, but I just can’t take my eyes off the supersport’s and panigale’s long enough to do it. Lol
You nailed it! I have a Streetfighter 848, 848 EVO and 996 monoposto. The 848 EVO I’ve had for nearly 11 years and the only problem it’s given me was the VR going out. Streetfighter 848 has been dead reliable for 6 years…the 996, well, that’s a different story. Servicing hasn’t been bad either. Going from low ranking military to an RN, I’m not loaded, but the services are still tolerable.
Agreed on the SF’s, too! The SF 848 is my go-to bike and does everything anyone can really ask for.
I really enjoyed the m620 I flipped. like riding a superbike on the road! (if you don't look at the speedo...).... and if you get a two valve, get LT's Manual.
I love my 2017 939 Supersport.
I have an 05 ST3. The best of both worlds, sporty and a comfortable tourer that will carry a lot of baggage.
Can't believe you skipped the 1st gen Multistrada; esp. being A 2V Air head aficionado. The twin plug version of that engine (mine was a '08 1100s) is amazing and honestly the best all around ride I've ever had! For differnt reasons, but more enjoyable that my 5th gen '99 VFR, more that my '11 Hyper Evo Sp., and more than that the '98 748 SP1 I used to race. Try it and see what all the ADV bikes are trying to deliver today, it was laying down 15 or more years ago.
I just did a test ride on a V2 Streetfighter, planned on trading in my 2020 Low Rider S for it, but on the test ride it shut off on me several times in traffic. They said it’s an easy fix, but they’ll have to tear down the engine to click in a connector that wasn’t connected properly at the factory. Wtf! Then he had the balls to say “let’s go talk numbers” 😂
My dad sold Ducati during the 999 years. Whag a beautiful bike. Also so many Monsters sold in a time where most bikes sat on lots for a year before they sold.... Holy shit I saw so many PDIs of Monsters
That Monster Diesel was his main bike on the CW show Arrow
This is your choice, very personal, after riding Ducati's for 35 years ,I am missing the best one´s
I can't help but notice 360 in Austin!
749 999 are actually looking good now.I have always wanted a Monster tho....
The 916 was also a star in the 1996 movie Fled
I have a 999R and a 1098S Tricolore. Personally I think those are the 2 best Duc’s ever made. My first Duc was a 916. Beautiful to look at but a plastic POS when I compare it to my other 2. Just my opinion, of course.
👍had a ‘97 900 SS SP… wonderful motorcycle
I've got a 98 Ducati ST2. Definately an old mans bike but wow a 944cc ducati sport bike for cheap fun??? Nothing beats it. Nothing.
A friend of mine has one of those he bought new. The thing is still going. Great bike.
Monster 400 from Japan/Italy/Australia, or even a Monster 620- 696 for me.
My first ducati was a 1198S, a year later i bought a 1299 base model, and in 2020 i traded both in for a V4 Corse.
All three bikes are fantastic, and only the 1198S had a few small issues ( leaking front fork sealing, broken alternator, broken clutch slave cillinder)
Still the 1198s was my favorite, just the rawness, the torque, 170hp between your legs and you only have traction control, open the throttle all the way
and the earth stops rotation on its axle, so much character that bike has. Gonna buy one again some day with low mileage if i get the chance.
Ducati/diesel were both definitely featured in Devil May Cry 2
Devil hunter aesthetic
Sold my 999 recently, still have the deepest feeling of regret. Absolutely loved that bike 🥲
No one mention the sport classic gt1000? Still my favorite Ducati.
Ducati is the Harley of fast boiz. Ducati requires you to wear Ducati sunglasses, Ducati Shirts, Ducati Shoes, and drink Espresso; Harley requires you to wear Harley sunglasses, Harley shirts, Harley boots and drink American Lager. Both are lifestyle identities that happen to sale motorcycles.
Every bike genre has 'that' brand. For adv dads, it's bmw
What a load of bulls**t.
Bmw aswell
@@chrism6880 eh, to an extent maybe, but in my experience, ADV dads are more about Givi luggage than it being BMW specific, or Aerostitch high vis suits, and again, doesn't need to be BMW branded. Also, what does every ADV dad drink? Milk?
@@firefighter1c57 coffee from a hipster French press shop
I wanted a monster but when I bought my bike the ducs weren't in my area. They became more prevalent around here about 2 years after I bought mine.
The air cooled Hypermotards are a future classic.
Excellent content as always. But us headphone users are asking... pretty please get a pop filter for that mic. Those "p"s are POPPING
Did the 939 supersport dirty though. I've never seen any come with missmatched fairings and they also have an s model with full ohlins and pillion cover.
916 - torture rack riding position. Fun bike but only if you’re short and skinny. The 996 is easier to own as Ducati corrected some issues. 998 debuted the Testastretta and is an awesome bike if you can deal with the riding position.
1098 - the pig of superbikes. Money pit to own, a vast number of issues to deal with. Last bikes without ABS, TC, takes real courage to ride one at the limit.
Monster 750/900 - fine bikes if you know your way around carburetors. Great sound. The later fuel injected bikes and S4 series are fun as hell.
Supersports - I have a 1992 900SS so I am biased. I love mine, but again, carbed, so that. Sporty but much easier than a Superbike. The 2nd Gen are ugly, but mechanically sound and fuel injected. Great rider’s bike.
Hyper - tall bikes, seat is garbage, lots of fun. Great Sunday funday bike.
Scrambler - lots of flavors to choose from, and vast aftermarket to do whatever you want.
Dare I mention the ST series? ST2, ST4,ST4S, ST3,ST3S and ABS versions.More affordable, a blast to ride, and for a Ducati almost practical.
I would love to have a bevel twin from the 70s.
I love my 2001 Ducati 900 SS bright yellow
Ducatis are great but the busa will always be my dear love. Maintenance cost and reliability! Italian ones do burn a big hole in the long run
