20 years experience mostly on Honda VFR/CBR models. Did a "downsize" after a few years off and had one of these for a couple years, put over 10K miles. Nice job of making a few key points about what make this bike great: you can full throttle wind out a small bike on the street, it sounds great and nobody will know it's a 400 except other Ducati riders... I sold it for a few things that never come up in reviews: 1) Ducati scheduled maintenance is expensive IF you're going to use it as a daily commuter - the sweet spot for these is to ride about 3-4K miles per year - make them fun ones. I ballparked dealership maintenance by the book at ~20c/mile. Just rode 100 miles? Put $20 in your maintenance fund! Think about that... 2) Unscheduled maintenance happens - in my 20 years I've never had to have so much random crap done (end cap on exhaust fell off, bike stalled when cold with less than 2K miles, etc.) Was starting to deposit a little oil around the top spark plug when I parted with it. All normal stuff for a Ducati. 3)

Thank you for the info! I will not get a Ducati due to this review 😊

i just picked this exact same bike up and it gets delivered tomorrow. The 2018 is going for $5,800 now. A steal. This vid really sold me.

@@notstevelam I think it’s an excellent starter / first bike/ city commuter. I live in NYC where the streets are 25 mph and highways are 45 mph, so it’s been perfect for that. The loose throttle play in this video isn’t accurate to all bikes, mine is normal. The power delivery is slowish but smooth. 1st gear is worthless. 3rd gear, going 30 mph / 3500-4K RPMs is the sweet spot. The bike + city streets gets you a lot of practice shifting. My only detractor is a minor one- the turn signal cancelling button is quite annoying. It seems to never want to turn off, after hitting it. The exhaust is quiet, especially with the helmet on. Some people like that, some don’t. I like the sound. It’s a very attractive bike that gets a lot of attention by pedestrians / drivers (asking questions/ thumbs up etc...) if I had the option again to get the 800 or the 400, I’d still go with this model.

This is great vid chase spot on. I got my Sixty2 2 weeks ago because of this vodeo and now 2 weeks later, i watched it again. The engine whistle, the throttle play, and the fun experience. Im a newbie coming from a 300cc and i think this bike just fits my needs as an all around, daily commuter bike. About the missing gear and fuel indicators, thats because Ducati wants consumers to buy the 803cc! 😇

I’ve owned the black Sixty2 for 3 years and I’ve modified the hell out of it. I would pretty much agree with everything you’ve said during your review. I live in London and the Sixty2 is prefect for commuting around our very congested roads. Also I get so many good comments and looks from other road users all the time. I’m planning on buying a Monster 821 in the future to add to my Sixty2.

“Sally “ for the turn!! 👏🏼👌🏼

Love the laughs with every throttle opening Good job man, Regarding the Sixty2 cons you had mentioned, I am totally agree with you about it, And that's the reason why I am thinking to skip the Sixty2 and go with the Icon Dark as my first bike Also wiill you make a video for Icon Dark or the Icon, may it will be very helpful for me Thanks again ❤️❤️

Let’s be honest. This production level is above all. This looks straight up some movie level production.

My driving school uses those, learning to ride on one! I think this motobike is mostly aimed at Europeans, we have a 47,5hp limit the first two years of riding and this bike it the only one Ducati offers under that limit as far as I know. But yeah, it's expensive...

This was a great video! You had a ton of fun man lol. Between this and the Rebel 500 for my first bike so this video came out right on time.

In my opinion I would get the rebel 500 easier for matnece and more widle available

I have a Desert Sled and the throttle slack is adjustable right there on the throttle housing. Nice report!

I'm a retired motocross racer, road racer, and Speedway racer. So I'm not a beginner and I ride a 2016 Sixty2

I see that this guy is huge . Scrambler sixty2 performs awesome for me at about 135 lbs. Very fun bike . In Jamaica I have the only one, and 600cc riders complain about space to ride .

I love to see this review, I just bought this bike yesterday

Great video! Do you know any details about the 2021 version of the sixty2? Can’t find any info online... was this model discontinued in Canada?

love the sixty2! its a shame the dealer or whoever couldn't set up the throttle play properly. would probably feel more responsive if it was.

Seriously , check and adjust the controls to suit before you ride the bike it's not difficult , it's a 400 so you have to use the revs to get it on the boil , you should try a 250 you have to ride em like a 2 stroke , great fun , anyway I repair and ride for a living and after 40 years in the bike business I still enjoy riding the latest stuff : )

HA! I left georgia five years ago but got my first bike at their kennesaw location. I remember driving through that parking lot and looking at their collection when i was bike hunting haha. Just clicked on this video doing some research, hahaha. didnt expect that.

A rather underrated bike, but still fun. Your video quality is seriously unmatched man, great video.

I test rode the icon, nice to know I'm not the only one who didn't like the throttle lag

Hey I’m curious if ur still gonna do the 600 class shootout

Nice review! How tall are you?

Its a nice laidback scrambler

hello probably been asked loads of times but what gear are you wearing in this video ? i like it =)

Cool uncle b!

Termignani exhaust makes it really growl and bark when you flip the throttle . Ducati race package ECU chip and exhaust will increase hp to about 46 .

Chase is there now way for you to head to some bendy roads for your reviews???? I've been watching you on and off for years and I'm always baffled you can review a bike without actually riding it properly. Or maybe you test a bikes cornering off camera?

The throttle cable is easy to adjust

Whats up with the cables above speedo

Currently my stator cover, gas tank, swingarm, and rear shock is off the bike and it's a Monster. So yeah I do my own maintenance. ;) Great review Chase.

Ease up with the talking hands in front of the camera. That crap was dead five years ago.
