Got a kick out of the Donut Media reference 😅👌🏼 Noice! On the subjects of bikes, I've ridden both modern and older sports bikes (whilst working in a bike dealership mechanics), and I completely agree that old school liters have way more soul. I currently have both a 1994 ZZR1100 (ZX-11) and an 08 Bandit 1250S, and previously owned a 1996 CBR900RR because of this preference. Less technological motorcycles mean greater rider input and more immersive, fulfilling experience as a rider 💯✊ Awesome vid Yammie Noob team!! 🍻

Most difficult dangerous bikes I ever rode were the late 80s-early 90's GSXR1100s. It's a miracle after owning one as a kid not even old enough to buy a beer & being a green rider that I lived through having it.

As an experienced rider I think mid-late 00s for supersports to early 10s for nakeds was the peak of the riders bikes. Riders bike as in a drivers car. Now they’re undoubtedly faster around a track and more accessible at the same time sure, but that doesn’t make them as fun or satisfying to crush the twisties or the track on. The analog throttle and seamless unobstructed braking power and heavy clutch cables will always feel better to me than the electronic throttle, cornering abs and super light clutch’s.

Totally agree. Also terribly overrated are fuel injection, tubeless tires, electric starter, electronic ignition, disk brakes, throttle-by-wire, liquid cooling, and even four-stroke engines. Bikes like the 1969 Kawasaki H1 500 are far more visceral with drum brakes, tubed tires, points ignition, carburetors, kick starter, two-stroke triple, and everything else that made this the original widowmaker. I had one. I have no idea why everyone bought the new technologies as they emerged. Even I succumbed; I ride a 2020 BMW S1000RR that is different from the old H1 in every respect except for having two wheels.

I have 3 ducatis. All of them are old bikes. They are SS900ie, ST3S, and 1098S. I like the triangular iron frame because it's soft. Injection is perfect for regular use. Furthermore, I would be excited if it had the Ducati emblem on it. I maintain it myself, but every time I maintain it, some parts are replaced with external products. This is to increase their reliability. I will be riding these bikes as long as I have parts. I hope that junk cars in good condition will remain on the market for a long time. I might not be interested in a new bike. Turn around the mountain pass with some fun. Take it easy and go to a cafe a little far away. I'm going on a motorcycle trip with my wife. I can enjoy all of them on my bike. I love Ducati. I feel good watching this video. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Every reason you guys touched on is why I love my 1098s. Two issues are the heat you spoke of and the mirrors are useless. Only bike that got close to heat is my TL1000R, my RC51 isn't as hot as the other two. My goal when I got the 1098 was to get as much as I could that didn't have electronics on helping. With that said when you turn the electronics off on the Honda like Geoff May had to to race it because he didn't like the electronics it is still rideable if you have that top 2% skills. If not, never ever turn them off!.

I am down with these bikes. My concern is at the exit of a corner just after the Apex. That is the feel that must be acquired through experience.

"The golden age" minus muffler placement on some bikes. LOL

Couple of reasons I keep my old 2001 R1 in the stable. First I'm afraid to sell it to someone who has grown up with traction control and abs etc. They might end up in a jam because the bike will give what you ask for without holding back. Secondly the throttle response and braking and just every input you make being so exactly what you expect, it is lovely.

Thank you for not editing those blooper moments, it’s gold.

Been singing this song for years once I accrued the purchase of my 2014 KTM RC8R. Easily the last great analog superbike, ending in 2015 model year. There's something to be said about prioritizing mechanical tuning rather than electronic tuning, and doubling down on it. Ryosuke Takahashi (Initial D) stated something along these lines (can't remember which season, but it *is* at least season 2), and using that as a jumping-off point for research; he's onto something. Having a bike where every component piece is designed to work together in mechanical harmony is peak confidence-inspiring; main reason why all 4 of my bikes follow this ideology to a T.

I bought a 2009 Ducati 1198s next to my 2016 Monster 1200s and boy do I love the 1198s. The whole feel is so much more pure. But as you guys state, so refined in the power delivery, even though is is much quicker then the monster it doesn't scare me as much as the monster does.... This generation of (Ducati) superbikes for me is the sweet spot!!!

I ride a VTR1000F which is so much fun. It makes me sad that the world has fallen out of love with V -twin sport bikes. For the road, nothing beats them.

I have a 2003 Aprilia RSV Mille.... Man, the feeling compared to the new ones I had the chance to ride is like nothing you can ride this days..... forget about those new bikes.... buy a 2005 GSX-R, a Ducati or a Mille..... spend some money on good tyres, suspension and brakes (only on the GSX-R cause the Mille and Ducatis have Brembos and great suspension) and have fun....

So much more torque and deceptively fast. The bike leaned over in corners effortlessly and the brakes were amazing. It vibrated so much that when I got back onto my R6 it LITERALLY felt like the motor was off at idle compared to the 848.

I think they stepped in a relm of understanding that brings them closer to many of us middle age and older folks that like Royal Enfield and other brands like it. I know they don't even compare to a Ducati, which I like as a modern classic pick. For many of us it's not about cutting edge speed and technology, but about the simple and direct mechanical feel of riding a older motorcycle or driving an old car. Modern motorcycle are awesome, but I really appreciate some of the raw feeling some of the new ones strive to keep under mounting regulations. Yes...you can buy a classic, but sometimes it's nice to be able to get that feeling from something you've owned from the start.

Awesome bike the Ducati. As the owner of a 2005 ZX6R, I can relate to the roasting body parts with the under-seat pipes. Mine is not a liter bike, but the acceleration is still very raw since the prior owner geared it down. With a 15,500 redline, it likes to pull hard. More common themes: no ABS, no traction control, no gear indicator (just a neutral light), yada yada yada...

Part of the reason I enjoy my 04 Daytona 955i so much.

very happy with my 98 thunderace, great size and still plenty enough horses to have fun especial with no aids.

My.first bike was 84 900 Ninja. Loved that machine. Then it was more man, skill , and machine. You could feel it all. Now not as much. Traction control, ABS, EFI, etc. Its all good. Motorcycles less than cars or airplanes, we are becoming more system managers than pilots. The advances are nice.

Ive never been a ducati fan..... but after watching whitney just walk away from spite trying desperately to keep up, even I have to admit that the ducati 1098 is an absolutely beautiful motorcycle. 😍

I've been debating this point in my head for a while now. New bikes come with a warranty, guaranteed never abused, have ABS, and some other fringe safety features but they also have electronic throttle valves and lean fueling which I think could hurt their reliability in the long run. The old bikes are bulkier and risk a history of abuse but a lot more pure and raw and you get what you ask for unlike the new bikes which filter everything through a computer. I still haven't decided which is better for me. I think a 3 year warranty would be really nice.

The warranty leaves you after 3 years, the character of the old bike will be with you forever, something you won't get bored of or make you feel outdated as newer bikes come by every year with newer technology and faster than before.

I faced the same scenario, 04/05 Honda CBR1000RR vs 16 Yamaha R1M both second hand. Decided on the R1M and never looked back. Simple things like a slipper clutch, that the CBR didn’t come stock with, modern suspension, better wheels etc.

@@calebsunder yeah the only issue is that used Ducatis aren't reliable and there aren't many used bikes that are supercharged. Lot of factors to weigh but I really like the look of the mid 2000s bikes. Kind of the golden era for me.

@@ChrisG1392 if you can get a well maintained 848, reliability won't be a huge issue. Of course it'll cost more than a Japanese bike in terms of maintenance, but apart from the desmo service at every 7500 miles, most other things are pretty standard. Of course it's got a riding experience like no other Japanese bike as well.

My riding of so called super bikes was much earlier, late seventies, a Moto Guzzi LeMans 850 and a Ducati 900 SS bevel drive. both ''Italian Stallions'', for their time they seemed fast.... hell! they were fun to ride.

In these recent 1098 videos it has been mentioned more than once that the 1098 was the biggest and baddest bike offered in 2008. Don’t forget that the 2008 R1 had 180hp compared to the 1098’s 160 hp 😉

People that have never ridden a 1098/1198 will never understand the significant difference there is from an inline-4 bike. It's an entirely different world and raw numbers mean absolutely nothing. Don't get me wrong, the R1 was a great bike. But it's just not the same as having all that torque down at 2,000 RPM like the Ducati's have.

I've done a lot of demo rides on the newer bikes, but I have only owned one motorcycle newer than early 1980's. Most of them are from the 1970's. So I have never ridden a newer bike long term, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

I just keep dreaming of this bike, my grandpa had a 748 and ever since then I fell in love with ducati, no one can change my mind on which is better because ducati has a soul

Went from a brand new street triple rs to a K5 GSXR1000 and haven’t looked back. Both are good bikes though in their own way.

My 97 ZX7R kept up with a 14’ CBR 100RR last night. At those speeds = the rider skill etc

@@carlosmacedo1700 on paper my ZX7R shouldn’t be able to keep up with CBR1000RR. But at 135-140mph . It’s all about how fast you’re willing to go!

This is why I love my carbureted 2001 Suzuki sv650. No where near as fast but all u have is a throttle and brakes

I had a 1st gen 03 CBR600RR. That's a difficult bike to ride. No safety electronics and the back wheel would lock up with aggressive downshifts. I got really good on that bike. Knee dragging on canyons and wheelies exiting corners. That was my peak until I high sided at the track. My body never recovered 100%. lol

I enjoyed this

Nice Pumphrey reference. "MO POWA BABY!"

To this day, the craziest bike I've even been on was my buddies built 07 GSXR 1000. That bike was bonkers.

I plan on getting one of these crazy ones as a first bike cuz deth is my friend!!

I started on a 1987 Yamaha fz600. What a great little bike that was. So soooo much fun. But you had to be a "part of the suspension" back then. You didn't use your legs when hitting some bumps well you just didn't want that to happen.

Been wondering since you unveiled this as your new channel bike. Are they aftermarket rearsets?

I have tried most new bikes, the feel of my old bikes is not there anymore.... Ride by wire, ABS, traction control, anti wheelie bla bla.... no way I will sell my Benelli 2005 or my Moto Morini Corsaro 2010. So if you think 150 Hps is to little, remember you control them with your right wrist, not strangled by computer giving you 40 Hps!

I've ridden a 2006 R1 since 06, test rode a V4s, was not overly impressed.
