My friend you need to wrap the exhaust bottom and under the seat with the titanium headers wrap it will make the difference check ebay for the wraps good luck
The main culprit for the heat is not the exhaust, it's the cylinder head 5 mm away from your thighs. That's why the second gen 1199 panigale had cylinder head covers. This helped a little, but putting heat resistant material under them helps further.
I own a 959 Panigale and a 749s. Ducatis always stand out in a crowd for sure! People definitely stare and comment everywhere I go. Seems even gassing up takes me longer than usual because there's always someone coming up to ask about the bikes. (I'm not even mad lol) Your bike is pretty bad ass in it's current configuration. I too want a V4 but with all the recalls, I'll wait until they work out the issues and get a next gen. Great video btw!
Great to hear from a fellow Pangale owner! It's funny you wrote about taking longer to gas up. It happens to me too, and I also don't mind! ;) I will probably trade my 1299 in for a V4 in a year or 2. They need to get the bike perfected first and resolve the recalls/issues! Ride safe my friend!
I have a 13 848 EVO and I get tons of attention even more than my Monster before it. Your bike is at the top of the food chain so you must not be a shy person otherwise you would end up selling that beautiful bike 😉 thanks for another great video
The 848 EVO is a pretty impressive bike itself! I remember seeing one a couple of years ago at a park in Hawaii, when I owned my CBR and my BMW S1000RR. I couldn't help but go over at stare at it. I remember talking to the owner and telling him what a pretty looking bike it was. The 848 EVO was basically the inspiration for me to finally take the dive and splurge on the Panigale ;)
I have a 2019 with (race exhaust) and 2024 V4R. The 2019 gets HOT as hell. The first time i noticed i had took down to make sure it wasnt on fire. So only short rides for me. And I have the heat shield. I just got the 1299R FE. Im waiting on delivery. Did the heat shield make Any difference. Did you have the complete race exhaust? Do you think that made it hotter. Btw I have the arrow bar end mirrors and love them.
Hey, just saw this comment after responding to your other one! You have 2 wonderful bikes my friend! The heat shielding on the 1299 made a little bit of a difference, but not much. I do live in Florida though, so in the summer it doesn’t matter how much you try to cool off, you burn. On the 1299, I had the Akra slip on, but not the full headers. My V4 has the full Akra, and responds “better” to the heat. I don’t have the arrow bar ends mirrors on my V4 (like I did on the 1299), but I am considering purchasing them again. By the way, thanks for watching and commenting!
I have one as well. And it get crappy mileage, your inner thighs feel like cooking bacon, But in the end it is a superbike, not a commuter. Tampa traffic is brutal on it. But I do still commute on her. Cheers! great video! She is at Eurocycles right now getting warranty work done. Hit me up if you want to ride some day.
Thanks the comment Rich! I was appreciate hearing from a fellow Panigale lover. You are correct about cooking our thighs, lol! I'm currently working overseas for a couple months, but I'll hit you up for a ride when I get back.
You should also add that bike does not like to run at rpms less than 4k...it will try to buck you off until you get rpms in higher range. As for gas mileage, mine gets an average of 25 to 28 miles per gallon, so fillups are very frequent. I added a Termi full system and RapidBike Race unit on it about a year ago and gas mileage went to hell after that, but it sounds and runs much better than stock, so I can live with the crappy gas mileage...I just bring an extra fuel bottle, in case, if I go an longer rides. Ride safe.
All valid points my friend! Low RPMs stuck in traffic SUCKS! Plus the bike gets hot as hell! I probably get around the same gas mileage with my Akra exhaust. Like you said, it's worth living with the crappy gas mileage for the amazing sound! ;) Where do you store the extra fuel bootle? In a back pack? Cheers my and ride safe!
@@TheDucatiPilot I carry .25 gallon fuel bottle (Optimus) either in my backpack, or strapped to it. Still kind of looking for a way to safely strap 2 bottles to rear seat cowl for those long day trips.
@@TheDucatiPilot I live in Miami, I go to work at night 15 mins max is my commute and wanted to look into this bike, I don’t think I’ll be dealing with the hotness and mileage that bad as opposed to my mustang which gets 8 MPGs
Im in St Pete and have a 2017 1299s tuned with a Termignoni evo carbon exhaust #flameswhenishift. You may have seen me. The heat is unbearable sometimes. Hit me up. How cool would it be to go to DTSP and let people see 2 in 1 spot? 2 rare bikes in 1 place.
Pretty much everything. Look at Ducati of Omaha’s website under OEM parts and see. If you can’t afford at Ducati, I recommend a Japanese bike. They are reliable and cheaper to own. I actually miss my old CBR1000RR.
What's it like to insure that bad boy in your area? might give general idea for people looking to purchase the Panigale. Overall great video! Sick bike
Thanks Syaqir! It is a true beauty! As far as insurance, I am over 25 and have full coverage. I have 2 bikes, but I probably pay around $130 a month for just the Panigale.
Yeah, the gas mileage is terrible! I'd probably run out before I made it up to Brooksville on a ride up north, lol. We still need to get you on this bike before I head out!
5 things I felt about the Panigale, that I thought was important for you to know. Let me know anything else I might have missed!
But hey is droolcati 😍😍😍
My friend you need to wrap the exhaust bottom and under the seat with the titanium headers wrap it will make the difference check ebay for the wraps good luck
Haha! Here is a mop to clean up the drool!
Thanks for the tip! I've seen it on Harleys, but didn't think to put it on a sportbike. Cheers!

Totally worth it! That's a head turner bike
Expensive is not even the word. Good vid man.
Thanks brother! Love your new bike by the way! That exhaust sound is BEAST!

Another awesome video from my favorite motovlogger! That Panigale is amazing. Wish I could afford one, lol. Ride safe my Friend!! :)
Thanks Jim! I just wish this bike didn't get sooo hot when riding! Other than that, it's perfection! ;)
You can use header wrap, and wrap the undertail section of exhaust.
Talk to us about the most important things that any biker must know before ride one for the first time !!
Thanks after all Nd good luck
That a great topic! I'll make a video this weekend. Thanks!

Carnt wait to watch video
Thanks!!
Love ur videos, you really deserve way more subscribers!! Keep up the good work! :)
Thanks Axel. I definitely need to start posting more vids. Just super busy with work and the whole COVID thing lol. Cheers!
Love your vids❤️🔥

Blew 3 motors in mine driving mid summer in Phoenix, 115-120 is not nice to these
Ouch! Hopefully they were under warranty!
what parts are expensive? I am looking to buy one soon but I’d like to see specifics

Very true my friend! Thanks for chiming in. Appreciate the comment! :)
Love when my Subs help each other! #bikelife
Jesus that’s horrible gas mileage! My 750 has a 4.5 gallon tank and I can get 175-190 miles on a tank even ripping wheelies and riding hard 😐😂
Yeah, the gas mileage is terrible! I'd probably run out before I made it up to Brooksville on a ride up north, lol. We still need to get you on this bike before I head out!
Ride safe
Thanks Jayne!
Crispy chicken legs riding this in Australia!
Did you say 1185cc? It's 1285cc
So Tell me bro. When are u gonna ship the gsx-r to me? ;)
I don't own a gsx-r! lol
FirebladePilot I meant the cbr xD
I know! Just messing with ya! ;)
At least u don't have to worry about a licence, plates, renewal stickers & insurance 😬
Meh prefer the cbr's
LOL! I love them both! ;)
Ducati Omaha SUCKS. Charged me $280 for an oil change, Ducati kansas city is $150, exactly same oil change
Unfortunate to hear that man. I bought this bike from them in 2018, so they probably have changed out staff since then. Ride safe!
1285cc not 1185cc
Yeah, I misspoke in the vid. I love my V4 Speciale though! Thanks for watching.
