Two of the most likeable chaps on the internet. Nothing as charming as hearing a grown man talk like a child about a bike - all the enthusiasm in the world. Love it.
Here's the thing..I would get on a Gladius , it 's reliable fast, did everything very well, smooth, a well thought out and put together machine with a great motor.. I get on my monster, which for all it's faults, and it doesn't have too many, and it's an Event.. the noises from the termi's, the way the bike urges you to get on it, the poor handling and engine vibration under 4000, then the satisfaction when you hit that speed where everything comes together, and the bike demands your full attention.. it's that riding Event and satisfaction that it's Japanese counterpart doesn't posses. Nothing wrong with a Gladius, great bike, looks good too, but where Suzuki endeavors to insulate you from vibration and incongruity in the road, Ducati somehow fuses the rider to the engine, suspension, and road.. that feedback formula through the chassis is something they haven't messed with, and as any rider will attest, is more acute than anything on two wheels..
Is there actually only going to be 500 units forever? Or will you people make a few every few years? Cause it seems pretty dumb to call a super limited unattainable bike "the dream".
'That's my phone telling me to exercise I'm fat. It does it a lot' Utterly brilliant! Get this chap signed up. Never thought someone could make 44 teeth better but....
I never tire of listening to the sheer enthusiasm that comes from people talking about these incredible machines. I spent most of the video just staring at the Panigale in frame but listening to every word, the enthusiastic way of describing it gives you an idea of what it's like to be in the saddle, not everyone can do that when they talk about a bike. Fantastic stuff once again lads!
I really enjoy the channel. Light-hearted, really informative and technical without being high brow. TV could learn a lot from these guys. I watch this in my lunch break and the world is good again. Thank God for bikes and the people who ride them (well, most of um)......
You know what I love about 44teeth it’s just real bunch of proper lads having proper chat no trying be something else, can see everyone at ease fair play lads keep up love it 👍🏼👊🏼
Great work 44 Teeth always putting out the best content for motorcycles on the internet. This bike is outrageous, I laugh every time he says 234 horsepower is “usable” lol. The thing that really struck me was he explanation about his experience on the Ducati WSB bike. Having a serious rider saying it’s pretty much unrideable gives me even more appreciation for any of the riders in the field. Those boys really make it look stupid easy especially when the bike is literally trying to kill you.
I don't know how I could mentally come to terms with a bike like that. I think if it was cheaper it would be easier to ride. You could push it harder and actually take advantage of what it can offer. Seems like people would just baby it as is
@@eaglewi Yes, fair point, which is why most Honda RCV213SP (£150,000) are still in the crate. I was at Mugello on a CBR600RR, able to pass Desmoseidici riders for that reason, but at least they were on track, having fun. I suspect that the Superleggera is much faster, ten years on, so even a steady lap would be far quicker than any regular road bike can do, however enthusiastically ridden.
I can appreciate that the onboard footage isn't crazy wild or absolute pro level. It's a pro rider trying to get to grips with the undisputed cutting edge top level machinery that today's industry is capable of producing and he's having a hard time utilising it properly. It's like you can see how hard he's trying to understand how light it is. Very entertaining.
Absolutely loved this discussion & Chad's enthusiasm in describing the bike. Good banter as well. As mentioned, my biggest worry about having such a machine would be stacking it.
My dealership in the UK has sold 3, saw it at the Dealer Conference last year and they had one stripped down as well so we could pick up the individual components it was a fantastic experience!
Awesome sights, sounds, descriptions, emotions to explain how lucky the fortunate few will be. The rest of us can replay this vid over and over. And, who doesn't like gravy, sweet 🛴🚲🛵🏍😂👍🌈🌏💜
Great interview. What a thrill that must have been to be invited to an event like that. I can't imagine many Superleggeras will ever get a number plate and even fewer will ever go to a McDonald's drive-through. I look forward (hopefully) to the 44teeth test ride.
Sounds very special indeed, obviously beyond the reach of mere mortals, but the way his eyes light up talking about it says it all. What a thing, thanks 44T as ever :)
It would be an interesting line up. I personally think the Ducati would take it. Only based on new electronics, winglets, and more power. It would probably be close though that hp4 is quite a machine.
I would love to see this match up as well but I think the new V4 would take it. If I remember right they thought the 1299 Superleggera outdid the HP4 race, and they are saying this one out did that one.
Can't see many if any publications putting the two together and going balls out and timing them. Risks are just too high and insurance would be crippling/bordering unfeasible.
He mentioned there being 2 bikes on track and 5 Journalists. Methinks Jensen Beeler from A&R was out there ripping it with you! Can’t wait for the 20 minute rant about this thing on @BrapTalk
Amazing bike I'm sure but as the owner of the first 1299 SL on the West Coast of the United States I can say the SL is NOT an investment; it IS an amazing bike for sure and getting the opportunity to ride Mugello especially on the World Superbike was incredible but I flew all the way to Italy and got a total of 12 laps on track between three bikes: stock 1299S, followed by 1299 Superleggera and then Marco Melandri's Panigale R World Superbike. I considered selling my 1299 SL to buy the new V4 SL; the dealer said my 233 mile example, in otherwise showroom condition, would probably only be worth 55k (USD) in the open market. That's a 25k loss in 3 years! I said no thanks, keeping it for the time being. These guys are right when they say the Superleggera models do feel special. Oh and btw, the Ducati hype about the V4 SL being 16 kgs lighter is comparing the V4 SL with its included full Akrapovic race exhaust vs. base model bone stock which has no carbon anything, lead acid battery and heavy stock exhaust. The REAL difference in weight is closer to 11 kgs.
I am not a Ducati man, but this one I would own, if I had the money of course. That even makes it special attracting people that are not brand enthusiasts. Stunning bike!
Had a proper laugh at this interview, and it was informative in a way i could understand. More of this man if possible please 😅 quote of the day. "It's like having Dani Pedrosa in a set of leathers sat on the front of your bike"
No offense to Adam Childs, I am sure he has tons of experience. However, I wouldn't call this a review as there was no factual information conveyed, he couldn't convey how the bike handled or how it braked, there was nothing for us to compare the differences to.. I respect the fact that he was sharing his feelings after riding, which is why the video can be considered as a "first impression" but not as a review!
@@mikefandango3343 No one asked for your opinion, I am sharing what I feel as a subsricber so that he can improve his channel! If he understands my feedback he'll implement it otherwise he wouldn't, in any case it's none of your concern!
Hole Lee SHEEEEEET! that sounds ballistic to ride. I think my 1199 is pretty quick most days but you have to have some serious experience to ride that bad boy competently. Chad sounds like a proper lad as well.
Indeed, less than 2min the lap is racer fast. Last week at Mugello there were just a couple of riders under 2min out of a full set of pit garages, probably more than 100 riders. V4Rs were common but no Superleggera sadly. Phil Seaton was fastest, often.

@@sivvinod3187 I think the exclusivity makes it more special
Gave up buying bike mags a few years ago. This is the future of motorcycle journalism no doubt. Great stuff.
Love how Chad is like a kid describing how it felt to ride it.
"4th and 5th for me" lol burn
"Yeah well I'm doing 190"
Yeah I got that too !! Truth is gear is not relevant without RPM ! Al would be at 15000 Adam may be at 12000 :-)
chad sounds like what i would imagine ww2 raf fighter pilots to sound like when hes describing riding the duc
😂😂😂😂
Not enough banter, me thinks
One of the best interviews / reviews yet. Now even I want to go to „Port-uh-mayoh“.
"Smack, power. Smack, brakes"
Wile E. Coyote, Acme rocket skates, brick wall.
Right, got it.
Lol.
'That's my phone telling me to exercise I'm fat. It does it a lot' Utterly brilliant! Get this chap signed up. Never thought someone could make 44 teeth better but....
11:25 priceless expression.
12:10 nice comeback! (You were waiting for an opportunity, werent you?)
Chad totally fits the 44 sensibility... love when he’s involved...great vid
Perspective: 16,500rpm = 275 revs per second.
That’s 1 revolution of the crank every 0.0036 seconds.
Nuts.

Sir Chad good to see you in such fine company
"Im not used to dealing with amateurs like this"
"Potrtimayo"
Nice one gents! Lol! Laugh a minute this one!
Thoroughly enjoyed this chat! Seems like Chad's talking skills were rather under-utilized at MCN or the Superleggera has made him a better speaker :-p
Ha, that onboard footage really does give some idea of the speed and weight of the bike, it’s so agile!
Incredible turning. Also, great gyroscopic camerawork helps
Amazing how quickly it changed direction
Chad is a fucking legend!!!! Watching him from way back on MCN got me into motorcycling
It is sick how it leans ... I swear it looks like it is parallel to the ground in some corners!
Great to hear from Chad. Top bloke. Top bike. Top interview. Top interviewer.
You know what I love about 44teeth it’s just real bunch of proper lads having proper chat no trying be something else, can see everyone at ease fair play lads keep up love it 👍🏼👊🏼
Amazing sit down and insight to an absoulte steed...eye candy from every single angel. Pure Bliss!
Lucky Man ! great to see how genuinely excited and grateful he was to ride that awesome piece of kit !

Absolutely love the descriptions - "ive had a 'urrhh' over't'crest."
We all know what that means, even on't'roaad
The enthusiasm is so contagious and enjoyable, great stuff
Literally sat here laughing my arse off whilst also working out how to lay my hands on 100K 🤦♂️😂 19:14 mins of pure joy.

hahaha love it , i was thinking the same
Love you both thanks for the banging high quality content
The best motorcycle chat on YT. Amazing fellas! what a bonkers bike!!
I was having very fuzzy feelings watching this. Banging content boys!
Chad is a great addition to the team. Huge experience and great honest reviews. This was surely top of the bucket list of motorcycling days.
This has been a properly entertaining episode lads! Loved it.
Just FYI the CIV (Campionato Italiano Velocità) Qualifies at around 1.52 seconds for the mugello, so quite a bit lower than 2 minutes
Been watching adam since 2010. Two favourite bike journalist on the same video. Amazing!
Chad is and always has been a great journalist. Crazy rider back in the late 90's for the magazine DVDs.
"Well for you... 4th -5th for me" would make the PERFECT T-shirt logo...
Them trainers make your feet look tiny, like the scene from Deadpool 2 when he grows his legs back. Awesome video btw.
😂😂😂
My day just improved beyond measure, great chat lads and what a machine
Very funny banter. Chad needs to be a regular....loved it!
Awesome content to hear the insight of riding such a iconic machine , A great listen

the speed with which this flicks from one side to the other is absolutely bonkers
Great chat boys, loved it! It was like one of those "...mate, you won't believe what she did...." moments. And I am also a fan of 'man maths'!
Awesome sights, sounds, descriptions, emotions to explain how lucky the fortunate few will be. The rest of us can replay this vid over and over. And, who doesn't like gravy, sweet
🛴🚲🛵🏍😂👍🌈🌏💜
Could listen to chad all day. What a lad!
Great interview. What a thrill that must have been to be invited to an event like that. I can't imagine many Superleggeras will ever get a number plate and even fewer will ever go to a McDonald's drive-through. I look forward (hopefully) to the 44teeth test ride.
Great work lads. I remember Adam Child from MCN back in the day.
One of the best reviews ever so envious ... even though it would almost kill me I still wish I could have a go.
I like to imagine I'm a racer but I quickly find out why I'm not haha
Racing is like sex... We all think we're good at it
@Jesus H Christ That's the wrong hole dude...
Demoni696 there are no wrong holes 😏if its fits, you sticks

Great to see Chad online!
Awesome to see Chad on this channel 👍
Top interview lads, more like this please 👍👍
Biking Nirvana... lived your dream watching this guys cheers absolutely golden review ✌️
Brilliant discussion. Brilliant. There are two guys I would like to have beer with and just listen..
I'm really curious how HP4 RACE stacks up with Superleggera. Anyone else interested?
KissMyAsthma
Oh yes! Seeing them apart... I’d guess this duke is right up there!
It would be an interesting line up. I personally think the Ducati would take it. Only based on new electronics, winglets, and more power. It would probably be close though that hp4 is quite a machine.
I would love to see this match up as well but I think the new V4 would take it. If I remember right they thought the 1299 Superleggera outdid the HP4 race, and they are saying this one out did that one.

@REVIT16K ZX10? What are you even talking about?
This lad can ride the motorbike, i was having goose bumps watching onboard footage. Thumbs up!
I didn’t think I’d want to watch a video of mostly just chatting. But this was brilliant! Thank you
that was awesome, glad you guys created 44T🤘
Gotta love the passion on show here
This was an enjoyable chat. Lucky guy.
It’s even lighter now mate 😂😂😂
Like this side of Chaz, get more from him in this format over a usual bike review 👍
Love your stuff 44T!
Best guys to give the most honest opinion of bikes .love their channel.when i win the lotto the garage will be waiting.

Absolutely loving the more frequent content Lads 👍keep smashing it 👌
the way this seems to flick from side to side boggles my mind! chad is a very lucky guy indeed, to have ridden that!
Beautiful. Gorgeous deep red colour. That still shot of it on the straight, lights on...phwoar.
Awesome video. I need those subtitles every time Chad phones me

Brian Evans You should start your on RUclips channel, it would be just like this but without any of the fun or making it Interesting?
Great video, great interview - top top Chanel and best bike reviews on the Tube - well played captain
Best review of anything I've ever watched
Wonderful stuff as always
but how often you have to maintinece the engine after hit the 16k rpm? :O
One of the coolest chats ever..
I have NO idea what it would be like to ride that..
Actually, where is the video of Chad riding it?
I assume that belongs to his day job I.e. MCN
Absolutely amazing content as always
Aside from Alistair or Sue Perkins there is no other journos opinion I would rather hear than Adam Child. Top stuff 44 teeth, amazing access!
I am not a Ducati man, but this one I would own, if I had the money of course. That even makes it special attracting people that are not brand enthusiasts. Stunning bike!

My wife was asking me, why do laugh so much and have tears in your eyes!
Thanks 44Teeth 😂😂😂
Chad carrying the V4 back to Ducati in 2 carrier bags was classic! I bet.my neighbours heard me laughing,
At $100k, this makes the BMW HP4 Race an absolute Bargain!!!
The downforce works straight down from the low pressure zone on the wing in question.
That was good fun. More Chad, please!
Love you guys, and your enthusiasm keep. Up the excellent work! 👍😎🇺🇸
Chad is funny as fuck describing the wings. Pretty fast around Mugello too. (thumbs up)
EPIC! Nice one
This gives me a serious chub on but just imagine spooning one! It would never leave my living room just out of sheer worry.
Is it 234hp at the wheel or crank out of interest?

Can someone tell me what went wrong with old supperleggera's top rear mounted exhausts☹️
This doesn't look bad, but i loved previous ones..
Great enthusiasm and review. Was the fast onboard (1:56) Adam or someone from Duc- like Zanetti? 1:56 is smoking.
Indeed, less than 2min the lap is racer fast. Last week at Mugello there were just a couple of riders under 2min out of a full set of pit garages, probably more than 100 riders. V4Rs were common but no Superleggera sadly. Phil Seaton was fastest, often.
