Baron. You know that it's through watching your early video that convinced me to do my test and get a bike. That was 2 years ago when I started watching you and now the bike is my main form of transport and I've a few cool trips on my cbr600f under my belt. It's a 2002 reg so pretty old but I love it. Fair play to me ! And to you too 😆
I like the exhaust. It covers up the swingarm a bit and differentiates it from the 1299. I wish they'd bring out some different colours though, probably wouldn't be too popular but I'd love the old 916/748 yellow/white scheme.
I see some sort of valve in the exhaust, just where the pipe exits the fairings. 5:30 for example Baron take it for a photo session just like with R1M.
Great to see you guys getting opportunities like this, you guys deserve it with all the hard work and looking forward to the on road test! I'm not a fan of the exhausts although that grill shot does look good! But why should I care when I won't be able to afford one anyway haha. Still a great looking bike!
PLEASE get a 1098 to compare back-to-back with the 959. I'm currently considering trading up for the added safety of the 959 (for my wife), but I love my 1098. It's the last zero assist superbike Ducati made. Need to know if I'm just holding onto nostalgia when we could be riding a much better overall bike.
Hi fumble how do you fancy doing a review of a multistrada dvt with full akropovic,quick shifter, power commander,race filter, against the standard bike or bmw Xr. I'm waiting for the rest of the system from akropovic for my bike and set up and bring it on
+luke marshall The Daytona isn't noticeably cheaper than the Panigale. The GSX-R 750 is the middleweight "legend" and it's also cheaper than the Panigale and the Daytona.
+BTrain5489 The Daytona isn't a middleweight? The fuck are you smoking? And it's over £3000 cheaper than a Panigale. Do a Google before you comment mate.
+luke marshall About 1000 bucks between the Panigale and the Daytona in the US. Maybe you guys are getting the home court discount. I'm also talking about the 675R and not the base model.
i enjoy the vid Baron but it is a bit to blurry and shaky. there is a certain vlogger from the states that records in 4k and after getting used to watching his material everybody else's just seem down a notch.
+Phillip Lewendon ...and it's now necessary to keep those rear pegs on the bike, as you can see from the vid, the new exhaust hangs from the right end peg *sad times*
In my opinion, the 959 is suffering from the same criticisms as the 999. It's coming after such an iconic and good looking motorcycle that any changes whatsoever are going to be criticised and torn to shreds. However, the 999 now (again in my opinion) looks amazing and I'd own one in a heartbeat if I had to ditch my 996. It's like going on stage after The Rolling Stones.. HUGE act to follow but they've had the balls to try anyway and whilst initially I wasn't a fan of the new exhaust.. It's already growing on me and, as Fagan said, with the two sided swingarm, all it covers up is shit you don't want to see anyway..
+Ethan Senior why? 90 % of the modern bikes have a sideways exhaust. Ok, it doesn't look the part like a standard Akra-can, but I don't mind it. I saw one in the flesh and the exhaust is not that bad. It's still an exotic bike, It's still a Ducati and it still goes like hell. I'd get me one in a heartbeat if I had the money.
Few things. Shame about the off white engine/clutchbox cover. Shame about the fact that the plate has to be past the rear tyre. (silly UK rules) Pipes look good quad would look amazing, stubby or cut off would be sublime. Great video!
"BARE GRILLS" There's a shop near me that sells grills for teeth, with gold, diamonds and stuff. They call is "GRILLS 4 U", I always thought they were missing a trick not using BARE GRILLS.
That exhaust is absolutely atrocious, I have an 899 Panigale (which is a work of art) and there just no way in hell I would upgrade to this. These euro regulations are just plain stupid. There is a reason why in every pre-sales advertisement Ducati showed only left side shots of this bike, even they think it's ugly.
Honestly, the only thing i disliked about the styling of the 899/1199/1299 was the underslung exhaust. Part of the beauty of a bike, is seeing the whole exhaust, yet a majority of it remained hidden... with the exception of the endcan (which to be honest, looked like a prettied-up catalytic coverter). The new 959 stock cans dont look great, but these akra-cans look the tits
Had a 969, have a Multi 1200s. Thought about trading in the Multi for this - but after a test drive, I left thinking what the hell just happened. The 959 Panigale is SLOWER than my 969, it does not want to turn in, it does not want to lean, it has no torque and the ergonomics are just horrid beyond horrid. The Multi will clean it's clock in EVERY respect, and that's saying a lot for a bike that is twice as tall and 100lb heavier. At 15K, this is one horrid little bike. Given that fact that it does not even have a single swing arm, I regret the day I sold my 969.
MrCerakote dude did you write this shit on every single panigale959 fucking review or what wtf? You take the hate in another level buddy get a fucking life.
The bike is beautiful and based on all the reviews and stats etc, its a great bike!... Just change the pipes if you don't like them and stop moaning! Unless in your heart you know you couldn't actually afford one and you're just calling "sour grapes" to get attention! Silly.
UGH.................EVERYONE needs to STOP "comparing" TOP-SPEEDS,HORSEPOWER,DYNO-POWER,ETC.....................and JUST SIT and WATCH one of THE MOST SEXIEST Italian-sportbikes that's EVER been MADE,OKAY??? Even if inline-4 bikes that have MORE c.c.'s to em,can outpace it 0-60 and top-speed.............all in ALL.............when ANY BIKE pulls up NEXT TO YOU,at a stoplight,while your sitting on top of THIS-BEAUTY.................Haha.................THAT PERSON LOSES!!! PERIOD!!!

Great production quality I am super impressed !
GSXR750 test here we come!
the akra pipes actually dont look bad
+AtomBomma That's what I was thinking
Does the 44 crew have plans for merchandise, like hoodies, anytime?
+Saajan Chowdhry working on it! but yes, lots of plans...
Looking forward to the upcoming footage boys. Love your content :D
Front Bottom.
+BaronVonGrumble I love you... #totallyhomo
+BaronVonGrumble what is that valve on the exhaust?
+BaronVonGrumble I love front bottoms.
God, this is impossibly beautiful!

Tis a thing of beauty!
Such a gorgeous bike ❤
I like the look of the akras kinda reminds me of the 500cc 2strokers without the under-tails
That is a stunning looking machine. I would love a Panigale. I wouldn't replace my 24 year old SuperSport, I'd have both.
Amazing looking bike!!!!
Great video!! Keep up the good work!👌
My gosh, I love the sound of a V-Twin!
Isn't is an L Twin?
+govenmentassassin Kinda like a V that's fallen over.
+govenmentassassin 90 degree V-Twin.. Some silly people call them L Twins but yeah, same thing xD
I think the new exhaust looks great(the akrapovic full system)
love the exhaust
With electronic auto bliping do you think slipper clutches are going to be old tech in 2 years?
I like that 44t sweater when are those coming out?
That's a nice "trolley" in the "trolley storage". For real though ME GUSTA
I actually like the Exhaust! Being old comes with some advantages :)
PLEASE get a 1098 to compare back-to-back with the 959. I'm currently considering trading up for the added safety of the 959 (for my wife), but I love my 1098.

Hi fumble how do you fancy doing a review of a multistrada dvt with full akropovic,quick shifter, power commander,race filter, against the standard bike or bmw Xr. I'm waiting for the rest of the system from akropovic for my bike and set up and bring it on
Test rode the 899 last summer... itching to get on one of these this summer.. and to be honest 0I actually like the look of the akra exhaust :S
I see new exhaust hangs from the passenger foot rests too, so you can't remove those like I would want to with that exhaust either :-(
"Like a grilled cheese. Bear Grylls." I love it.
What's with the USA style awful looking orange reflectors on the forks? Please tell me this is not becoming a compulsory UK/Euro thing too?
Some fucking crazy sick bike!!
Lol, just after you shut it off I noticed the no smoking sign.
Nice...
What's up with that weird alarm in the beginning?
Triumph Daytona 675 I'm guessing?
+luke marshall The Daytona isn't noticeably cheaper than the Panigale. The GSX-R 750 is the middleweight "legend" and it's also cheaper than the Panigale and the Daytona.
+BTrain5489 The Daytona isn't a middleweight? The fuck are you smoking? And it's over £3000 cheaper than a Panigale. Do a Google before you comment mate.

+BTrain5489 The 675r is £10599 and the Panigale 959 is £13200. Look on the respective websites if you don't believe me.
+luke marshall Non R 675 is £9500
Lovely Red rose
i enjoy the vid Baron but it is a bit to blurry and shaky. there is a certain vlogger from the states that records in 4k and after getting used to watching his material everybody else's just seem down a notch.
DO you know or have ridden a Ducati 1098?
the back of the bike is really nice but the rear pillion pegs let it down i think and i deffinatly prefer the underslung exhaust 👍👍
+Phillip Lewendon ...and it's now necessary to keep those rear pegs on the bike, as you can see from the vid, the new exhaust hangs from the right end peg *sad times*

Sigh. theres more to a motorcycle than how it looks.
+nabiji which is pretty much my point..
How tall is Alister?
On the fence with that exhaust.
epic!! top vid
Bit shaky and unplanned walkaround - maybe take some inspiration from Chase2W. Just some feedback.
Other than that, keep your work up guys, love it.
another reason why Australia is better, we get the under body exhaust on the 959, im considering getting one
When it gets to about 0:07 and you're like... nope!
why?
+Average Guitar Player I think Mook's talking about those fugly exhausts :/ With those it doesn't look like a jizz machine!
+Ethan Senior If you have the money to spend on a 959 (or any other Ducati) I'm pretty sure you're going to change to an aftermarket exhaust anyway.
+Ethan Senior why? 90 % of the modern bikes have a sideways exhaust. Ok, it doesn't look the part like a standard Akra-can, but I don't mind it. I saw one in the flesh and the exhaust is not that bad. It's still an exotic bike, It's still a Ducati and it still goes like hell. I'd get me one in a heartbeat if I had the money.
+Average Guitar Player +nazhif1 Yeah chances are you will change the exhaust but I saw one in the showroom and still went with the 899.
Few things. Shame about the off white engine/clutchbox cover. Shame about the fact that the plate has to be past the rear tyre. (silly UK rules) Pipes look good quad would look amazing, stubby or cut off would be sublime. Great video!
Magnesium Clutch covers I think.
+luke marshall Also quad exhausts on a twin?
luke marshall Like 2 either side.
Matthew Loudoun I was more on about looks rather than practicality..
I was going to ask why they had that horrid plate bracket ,did not know about that law.
"BARE GRILLS" There's a shop near me that sells grills for teeth, with gold, diamonds and stuff. They call is "GRILLS 4 U", I always thought they were missing a trick not using BARE GRILLS.
Nice Bike, I'd prefer a new 1299 Panigale or a used 1199, to the 959.....10-4
Yeah Nice bike but sorry the exhaust should be the same as the other panigale line up.
Like the video as usual but hate the new look of bike. That exhaust has wrecked ducatis for me
Bare grills! I love it.
In Oz we get the under slung pipes HaHa! 5kg lighter and 10X more sexy. HaHa!
So many people in America would sawzall that exhaust right off
I can't believe I'm saying this, but the twin pipes are starting to grow on me...
*drooling a bit
Ducati sure makes Sexy Motorcycles.
That exhaust is absolutely atrocious, I have an 899 Panigale (which is a work of art) and there just no way in hell I would upgrade to this. These euro regulations are just plain stupid.
There is a reason why in every pre-sales advertisement Ducati showed only left side shots of this bike, even they think it's ugly.
Now that's a proper jizz machine!
his face at 6:34 xD lmao
. . . thought he was going to start it with a android celphone app . . .
If people are so desperate to have the other exhaust, all they have to do is source a USA spec Termigoni system!
Hideous exhaust. Hideous.
Lovely bike but sounds so laboured starting up.
R6 ? has to be
I'd have one in an instant... If I had the money...
Exhaust no. Tail no.
you can see Baron's face in the mirror!!
Time?
I prefer the undercarriage exhaust from the 899, it looks so much cleaner.
I love akras but the exhaust has to go...
yes I'm first what a great looking bike
Baron von sniffles 😂
exhaust
Me no likey that exhaust. Otherwise it's a beautiful bike!
GSXR 750
Mmmm, tasty
Baron, don't let this other dude on your videos. You're way funnier and more intersting
sound like a massey ferguson teehee..
Honestly, the only thing i disliked about the styling of the 899/1199/1299 was the underslung exhaust. Part of the beauty of a bike, is seeing the whole exhaust, yet a majority of it remained hidden... with the exception of the endcan (which to be honest, looked like a prettied-up catalytic coverter). The new 959 stock cans dont look great, but these akra-cans look the tits
JIZZ
Policy stem age her German player ultimate
I'll stick with my white 899 😓

I'll stick to my 899. Hate that exhaust
Accidental face reveal. Oh well...
Sexy looking bike BUT that exhaust...... Just doesn't do it for me
boner
The bike is beautiful and based on all the reviews and stats etc, its a great bike!... Just change the pipes if you don't like them and stop moaning! Unless in your heart you know you couldn't actually afford one and you're just calling "sour grapes" to get attention! Silly.
0/10. Would get single can exhaust.
UGH.................EVERYONE needs to STOP "comparing" TOP-SPEEDS,HORSEPOWER,DYNO-POWER,ETC.....................and JUST SIT and WATCH one of THE MOST SEXIEST Italian-sportbikes that's EVER been MADE,OKAY???

PERIOD!!!
Those Akra pipes are soooo ugly
Awful exhausts on a beautiful machine
Junk
I hate the back especially those ugly nasty pipes. Sound scrap as well. Swing arm look like it comes from other old bike wtf?
ugly exhaust, eBay a use 899 exhaust
omg the ugliest exhaust ever...ruins the ducati
sound like a massey ferguson teehee..
