- I am so glad to be back on a sport bike after riding my Brixton BX 125 for so long now! This is definitely a rare gem! I wasn't able to really get on it, but for a 20 year old bike it still aims to please! Enjoy the the video and some of my shenanigans! 😅

No electronics on a 996. Top speed is 160mph. It’s a v twin so it has 120hp. Won’t hit 170 or 180mph. Design wise it’s one of the most beautiful sport bikes ever made. Insanely fun and dry clutch is so great.
Awesome thanks for the info! Yeah my KTM is a v twin and will hit 180. This is an older bike so I didn’t expect it to with the design and power.
The 996 and 916 are a pure joy to ride
Nothing beats 80s and 90s bikes with Soul. Unlike today's mostly disposable motorcycles.
I love the old style look personally, although the more modern Ducatis are beautiful to look at, and i love the sound of the 996 a lot ☺️
I own a 2000 996 and it is the most uncomfortable yet most beautiful bike ever designed!
Love my 996, I've commuted on mine since 2016. At 160mph it's extremely manageable but over that she feels like she is trying too hard. Lots of maintenance but I ride really hard, Clutch every 5kmi. 40k, never left me stranded.
Nice! Good to hear from someone who daily’s this bike. 💪
Very nice! I’m looking to purchase one in a few weeks in yellow. What’s somethings you recommend taking a look/listen to when inspecting? It has about 30k miles
I have a yellow 2000 996 monoposto…riding it is always an occasion. I love that bike.
Nice! Only time I’ve ever seen one in person.
Ducatis are timeless!
Love my 996. I never tire of looking at it or riding it.
My first bike was a red 2000 748, I'm 6'2" so it was a love/hate deal. It was a great bike to ride out on a twisting state highway and the only time it was comfortable to ride was when I had it leaned over in a curve. In town or in stop and go traffic, it was murder to be on that bike; all your weight goes straight to your wrists. I eventually discovered I could offset that effect by flexing my abs/core region at slower speeds, it has the effect of straightening your back and taking weight off your wrists. That bike had so much character and I miss it, I want to replace it with a 996.
I have a 916 and flexing your core is so key! But I'm the same height / weight as Foggy so I have it a bit easier than you do 😂
My first and only motorcycle was a red 2002 748. I sold it and have not owned a bike since. I regret it so much. I want one back so badly.
I love my 996..... it's great motorcycle.
It’s a collectors item for sure!
@@itsmeericb yes, if they are in original condition they are definitely good value for collectors. My have a lot aftermarket parts, included fairings. But still definitely head turning motorcycle. I am getting a lot of compliments. They are hard to find and not many on the road, very rare.
You need to go on a road with some corners and you will find out how nice this bike handles
Would if I could 😂 I’m sure it handles them nicely just didn’t have any good corners nearby.
Having a 996 in your garage is as awe worthy as someone removing a dusty car cover off of a perfectly clean ruby red Ferrari it’s just says wow! bam! Daaammmnn!
Love 916,996,998👍
Just bought my first Ducati early this year. A 2000 748, low miles, very "clean". Beautiful, sounds great, but it's a handful to ride. Slow to warm up, sidestand has to be up to start (though you can get a "cheater" for the switch), but I'm not bonding with how small and cramped it is, and the handling. It wants to turn wide and stand up, and the revs rise and fall quickly (too light of a crank or flywheel?) Very hard to ride around town, much better on the highway and fast sweepers. Certainly gets attention, though.
Yeah I’m sure the internals have some to do with the quick revs and fast drop off. That’s awesome you were able to find that model in good condition! 👍👍
@@itsmeericb , yes, well sometimes several of the "old" Superbikes will pop up between Craig's, Cycle Trader, eBay, which is the case right now. I'd love to ride a 996 or 1098 or 848 to see how the rideability is. I have a 2007 R1 with a full M4 exhaust, and it's easier to ride even with 70 more HP! Handles like a dream.
@@thomasb282 , it builds and loses revs too fast, sort of like a Honda VFR. I later found out the gearing is "shorter" than a 916 / 996 / 998, which doesn't help the streetability. When you're on the highway in 5th or 6th, it's ok, though.
I remember those during the late 90's early 2K's and always liked the style but they are too compact for my height 6'2" and were fairly expensive. I was riding a 1200 Bandit which fit me well then went with a 2000 ZX12R. I still like the style of these older bikes and prefer them and the older naked bikes, like the Bandit and ZRX1200, and even older and still have a 79 Honda CBX and 83 1100F Super Sport. Do they perform like the newer stuff? No. Do they look badass? Yes. You need to hear the CBX inline 6 with the 6 into 1 exhaust. F1 car-esk.
Yeah I’m 6’1 so I felt a little cramped on it.
It was so funny to hear him say the front end and the tail look kinda weird 😂 Genz have no idea of classic design and good taste
Did you just call me Gen Z? 😂 Son I’m probably older than you.
I may take a try later. I am stil figuring out how to treat these bike nicely. Perhaps I have to review some basics again.
Best looking bike ever.
I worked at a Ducati dealership. Not one person there, employees or owners, owned a Ducati.
Hahaha! Really??
@@itsmeericb
Go figure. I was a salesman, a lousy salesman, so I didn't have much money at that time, 2000, but if I had had the money I would've bought one and I would have been the only one to own one. Their lineup up of bikes in 2000 was stellar, gorgeous bikes. I would have gotten a 900 Monster and tricked it out, I don't like the riding position of the 996 but it is gorgeous, gorgeous like a 1964 Ford cobra, it'll always be gorgeous.
@@ThekiBoran I would love to own a Panigale V4R, but when it is time for maintenance or something breaks… Gotta be ready to fork out some cash! Lol
@@itsmeericb
My memory is a bit sketchy but I think a scheduled service, back in 2000, was in the $800 range, which I think included a valve adjustment.
This was Ducati's answer to Honda's RC51 WSB.
I was debating between SV1000 RC51 and this Duc,
Chose the RC for manit, cooler ride.
Both are top Vs,
Mah! Veramente la 996 ebbe come unico aggiornamento importante rispetto alla 916 del 1994 la fusione del carter basamento con nuovi stampi e nuovi rinforzi che gli ha permesso tutti gli aumenti di cilindrata e potenza successivi. Con la vecchia fusione e il vecchio basamento il limite per la produzione di serie fissato a 916 è stato superato solo per una piccola produzione necessaria per partecipare al campionato SBK nord-americano con cilindrata 955.
Fu la Honda e la Suzuki che risposero alla Ducati creando i loro bicilindrici non il contrario. Grandi moto entrambe.
You luckyyyy!!!! Only have ridden a 848 Evo Dark and a Hypermotard 1100 (crazy ass bike😅) only bike I could compare this too was my 2003 Aprilia RSV MILLE 🔥🔥🔥
Oh nice! I actually just rode an 848 Evo! Video coming soon on that! I want to try a Hypermotard! 💪
@@itsmeericb nice! In due time my friend👌🏾 that air cooled 1100 loves to keep the front wheel off the ground 😂
I ride this 996 right now^^ in Korea hi bytheway
😮 Where at??
La Regina ❤️ try to find the 996s the best of ‘em all!
I have a 1299 and a v4s but a 916 and 998 are my dream
How is the 1299 vs the V4? Completely different engine configurations but I’m curious what you like between them, I had a Aprilia RSV Mille but now own a 2003 Yamaha R1 (was not prepared for the speed this thing is pushing lol)
@@NudaMan the difference are night and day. On the 1299 I feel like I'm sitting in the bike thereforepart of it. On the v4 I feel as if I'm on it. The v4 has more power but you have to rev it high. The torque from the twin is unmatched and pulls through the rev range. Both are terrible if you're commuting and have to deal with traffic. The heat from these bikes are on another level but it's part of the ducati experience. If your looking for straight line speed there are other bikes I would get. For example my 2015 gsxr1000 is faster at 210.7mph GPS verified. With little mods.
1199 and 1098 xD I would love a 916
Correct me if I'm wrong but the rear brake is on the right side on ALL motorcycles? How do you confuse that with the shifter? GP Shift doesn't change the side that the shifter is on. It just inverts the up/downshift direction (1 Up, N23456 Down). If your instinct is to shift with your right foot you are putting yourself in danger every time you ride.
I literally was in lala land that day. I don’t know what I was thinking in that moment. 🤷♂️😂 Yes the rear brake is on the right side.
I’ve been riding bikes for 30 years and tbh all the electronics and digital displays are horrible and😢 have made motorbikes boring now. And how can you forget the the gears on the left side
Yeah the electronics are a bit overwhelming but I do see them having a purpose on the track. I actually love the colorful TFT displays!
Clearly he aint a cult Ducati fan. I own the 748 996 and 998 to me for the time and era the bike was way advanced in desighne and the most beutifull bike of the time, compared to bikes like kawasaki and suzuki and yamaha was probably the worst in styling at the time.
Great looking bike. However, at 6"2, my knees don't fit and i can't look up far enough ( traffic lights). So I prefer the Aprilia Falco.
Yes I am 6’1 and it can be a bit cramped
why do youtubers always demonstrate power and shift before the peak power
🤷♂️
We’re missing you over here bro. The CBR is still undefeated 👀
Haha!! I heard y’all gained some new riders!
@@itsmeericb yessir it’s growing a little
I always wanted to ride a Ducati. Great video 📹 👍
Everyone says that until they ride one. They are not comfortable for the street. Ask me how I know
Thanks!
@@nando03012009 that's interesting. Thx
@@nando03012009 it’s a bike you buy with you heart not with you head 🥰
They are cool but eat your wallet once that desmo service comes up lmao
No it's not you I own a 996 and if you get caught up in traffic you want to park the thing up and walk home, there painfully to ride until you hit about 60mph then you get the wind.under your upper body and it becomes.a little lighter on the fist.the 996 is the only bike I have owned and the engine as tried to dismantle itself, and it's the only bike I have owned were I've brought some of the engine home in a carrier bag and the bike in the back of a van.
Oh no! It fell apart??
What gloves are these?
Sedici
It’s very odd that you gesture with your hands as if your talking to some one face to face and having half control of the bike
Umm okay
Sounds like a broken down can
It’s called having a dry clutch lol
Where does this guy live?
Never mind. Korea. I bet that 996 is rare there. I get stopped all the time on my 996 and I’m in a major US city.
Yeah I have only seen two since I’ve been here.
First
2nd
You really should do some research before riding this classic motorcycle.
Enlighten me
친국 우리나라 한국에 언제왔다갔어?
I was here last year (2022) and I am from the US.
