MV Brutale 1090RR v Ducati Streetfighter S

[Msuprewicz]

Ducati is so much nicer!

[seqpen2]

testing in jeans... idiots

[nicepentagram]

less talk more ducati

[pencon61]

What a cop out test , either bike etc ? Duc all the way !

[smearcamp]

MCN reviews eh.. "Ahhh yeah.. You might like that one if you like to lean down a bit more.."! Did that actually say anything at all about these sublime machines? Cant see how you could review the 1090RR Brutale without saying that it has an absolutely formidable engine yet offers superb control via the excellent traction control that tames it all down and that it handles like its on rails however hot you dump it in there?

[longo311275]

ma che cavolo di prova è questa? due inglesi che vengono a bologna a provare due moto italiane 2 candele bla bla bla.......2grandi moto e 2 tester decisamenti inetti!!

[pinkboarder07]

nice herpes dude

[S00rabh]

Do you review Bike Jackets. If yes, then which one would you recommend. I need all seasons. Would be a great help if you answer.

[jozedwardo]

I Like the streetfighter better, i think is better looking by far, but they are both gorgeus bike

[CCorpseBride]

I love MV

[abazhlek]

In my opinion the MV Brutale is the best looking bike ever created. But they are both great...

[Oralsturmstrupp]

@abazhlek the mv s looking like a toy if ur standing next to it

[abazhlek]

@Oralsturmstrupp The Brutale doesn't look any smaller than the Streetfighter...and it is still the best looking bike ever created.

[gijsoerlemans1992]

I would choose the ducati streetfighter but ony because it looks slightly better in my opinion. But the brutale is probably an amazing bike as well

[Restayvien]

@gijsoerlemans1992

Plus the Ducati sounds more 'brutal', the irony.

[MrTaliaivo]

holy shit, they both look fucking amazing!!!! im in love, but if i would have to choose, i would take ducati! but damn, 2 beautys

[mattia9537]

I vote ducati streetfighter

[cardude1992]

that mv brutale is so beautiful ...

[dalton2621]

MV BRUTAL



[hanfiking]

whats the tune?

[muaythai193]

Do you feel like on a Superbike on the streetfighter? Like more bent over and tense when driving slow or relaxed and upright?

[mattlol5]

@muaythai193 looks like relaxed. Depending on speed

[ttrebilco]

the bikes look so similiar... wow

[JonJ95]

Nice ride

[MercsDude]

No matter how many commercials, I'm NOT buying a Lexus.

[wwfww]

@MercsDude hahaha that's the spirit!

[Tophairybutt]

A buddy of mine has a Brutale', and it is a very nice bike. Quite expensive for what one gets, but it is hand-made. I would settle for either an Aprilia or Ducati at a cheaper price, but still high quality. I like V-twins, but niether of these bikes will outperform my new 2011 ZX10. However, I can still appreciate them. They are real sportbikes....unlike the hardly davisin sportser, which is a big pile of rolling american junk!

[kingg457]

ducati streetfighter S has a better feel thats what i think

[slevinpolicy]

Wow, MCN your reviews are brilliant. You show me and tell me exactly what i want to hear.

[RogVMax]

Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce best kept all round secret in this class still.

[betorodriguez950]

i hate the sound

[Thelemongrabber]

How easy does the front wheel come up when you ride it normally and when you poke it

[spaxpg]

if you ride a Ducati v-twin , you cannot return to 4 in line

[denny65ldp]

@spaxpg

really!!

P.S. Ducati is a L-twin not a V-twin :)

DUCATI PER SEMPRE

[arkangelmark1]

@denny65ldp

thanks for that !!

[82Beppe]

Ducati & MV ______Italian Style______

[skuttledude]

always fantastic videos reviews with MCN..keep up the good work

[fluffyninjas]

I'm 15 and therefore cant ride a street motorcycle, so how do you pop a wheelie?

[mamananau]

Ducati =))) Only thing I don't like is the license plate holding thingy

[bulldog01209]

A tough choice are you shitting me ? One has a v-twin and the other has a 4cyl. If you have ridden both you know what you want. I bought a Duc and haven't turned back. I would never buy another 4cyl again for a variety of reasons.

[epheseus]

@bulldog01209 - Please elaborate? I've never owned a twin, but did ride a single dual sport 650 for several years. The only arguments that I know of for twins are 1) the more easily usable power argument and 2) the lesser and more centered vehicle mass. Am I missing something or are these 2 factors enough to justify giving up the 4cyl's greater hp and finer broader power control over wider rpm band?

[bulldog01209]

@epheseus Torque is the main reason. On a twin shirting is an option not a necessary. When you live with a v-twin for a while you get spoiled and lazy if i'm honest. You can go really fast with little effort. There is a reason why Harleys are really popular despite their lacking HP numbers and slow 1/4 mile times and that's torque. Even though they are slow they feel powerful and when you double or triple the power like in a Ducati you get the feeling of power with the rush of speed.

[epheseus]

@bulldog01209 - Lol. 

[pazzown3d]

@ephesus All very true. Only one thing tho. The 1090 rr has one beastly torque, you got plenty of punch even at low revs, and the more it revs the more you get, but really, you never feel like you'd need more, even at low rpm, it's just one insane engine, i found it perfect. Might not have the berserk of a Ducati testastretta at low and mid revs, but what comes after it makes up for that. And yup, that's coming from one proud Ducati owner and lover.

[RiderwithaLeftHook]

@bulldog01209 inlines fours and twins have different personalities....the great thin about a twin is you can really crank the throttle especially on the ducati, and you won't get any power hits or surges...the inlines are great on top end but they feel docile and too refined...there just is a lot of character in a twin. I love them both..but being a gixxer and also a Ducati guy, if I had to choose one..it would be the twin just because it feels like a real motorcycle...

[Beetuber]

What the fuck is child smoking? "The old brutale just never worked.." "This ones more Japanese like........so it works" Whay the fuck would you want a Brutale to feel like a Z1000 or a CB1000???? My current 1078RR works brilliantly on the street as is all things MCN said about it in their 1078RR review....now apparently it does not work??? I rode both the streetfighter and all the japanese wannabe super nakeds and I can tell the 1078RR is a proper mans bike. Grow some balls for fucks sake!

[kopaszQ]

i want the ducati :D if there is a job opening, please let me know MCN!!!

[bradlez996]

I haven't sat on or rode the MV, but i totally love my Streetfighter S and wouldn't swap it for anything except maybe a Desmosedici RR. It is also easy to ride everyday so i disagree with the testers on what they think.

[1986SoWhat]

@bradlez996 Is it really ok for everyday riding? I wanted one, but i got to ride one i figured it was not something for everyday use. Bars to low and your arse to high. Awesome bike though! I ended up with a Triumph Street Triple R...Saved loads of flus and i can`t imagine any bike being better or more fun for everyday riding! Love it and will never sell it:)

[RiderwithaLeftHook]

@1986SoWhat the speed triple is a great bike and it will keep you happy four sure...I definitely like the 3 cylinder triumph over the four cylinder MV...but if I had to choose, I'll always pick the ducati. Numerous wsbk championships, moto gp wins and race wins in pikes peak, flat track, ama, bsb speaks for itself. Always ride with the Champion. Ducatis have been kicking tail for more than a decade why settle for anything less....

[1986SoWhat]

@RiderwithaLeftHook Street, not Speed. I think i`ll get a Streetfighter S sometime in the future, but keeping the STR! Ducati is actually developing a 3-cylinder themselves. So much tourqe and sounds better than anything else.

[20043381]

@1986SoWhat he say the speed triple 1050 no street triple 675 :)

[HeraldOfHypo]

@RiderwithaLeftHook yea, and now they have rossi. goddamn

[buttnut1080]

I'd have to go with the Ducati. I don't care if its just that little bit harder; I wouldn't be riding it everyday anyways nor would I be going all that fast when I did ride it most of the time.

[carpenter751]

Having a 2008 gsxr 750 and having ridden that for my first bike I would have to choose the MV as my next bike. My reason's have more to do with comfort and living daily with a bike i would like to get out of the racer position for riding through town every day not that I ride my gixxer everyday. Also I am vertically challenged at about 5'4" so seat height comes in to question with every motorcycle purchase.

[gatykeAD]

ill take the brutale with a aftermarket exaust, clutch and headlight.

[DaMarshmellowman]

anyone know the fuel economy?

[theincredibledeus]

I love the brutale....she is the reason i made my driving license. :-D

!!!!!!everyday i am counting my money!!!!!!

BUT, the rear mirrors are ugly as hell...

[marcomolinari074]

in accelerazione la brutale è assurda nn riesci a tenere l'anteriore a terra, la ducati è piu dolce in erogazione

[YSBCITTAR]

I'll take the Brutale thanks..

[biker1078rr]

@YSBCITTAR right choice sir, right choice

[barman3580]

sti due cretini la moto la provano in citta'..cazzo queste due signorine sono fatte x le curve di motagna ..salite all'etna..e testatele li'..nn in citta che cavolo di prova avete fatto??come si ferma al semaforo????...queste sono le due piu' belle moto naked in commercio in mano a due cretini...mahaaa,,,

[sbaldwinus]

a good review, it actually told me something about the bikes.

[RogVMax]

You guy's are good in your appraisals.Please compare New Ducati Multistrada 1200 against the New Honda VFR1200F with the Motor Morini Corsaro Veloce 1200.

[usforeignpolicy]

wow hd like video, thanks mcn

[Bruto910R]

Le mie 2 moto... nella mia città! Troppo fico!

[DanDYpr88]

gli italci gioielli ;)

[fasirt748]

ALL ducatis are desmodromic

[Hymanbuster106]

The Brutale is the best looking naked bike ever.

[gurney85]

Great job fellas,

Last time I sat on a Brutale I got a charley horse, I'm tallish (6'4") and the ergos seemed focussed on someone sub 6' tall. Like both bikes but too boutique to be daily drivers IMO or promoted as such unless you are well coined.

Not a negative, just an opinion. Great bikes in their own right and bikes that I would love to have in my personal stable one day all the same.

[x08]

Personally the Brutale just doesn't do it for me in the looks category while the Streetfighter is something to drool over. No second guessing which I'd go for. Performance wise - it's mostly down to the rider anyway, so choose the one you think looks best.

[WisdomVendor]

Does Ducati still use the desmodromic valve system?

[GhostfaceStunnas]

as far as 1090 yes they do! other bikes i really dont know.

[WisdomVendor]

Cool,, my personal opinion is that is one of their trophy designs that should never be discarded.

In no otherway has any valvetrain system shown as much performance with such a basic idea.

[rough77]

@WisdomVendor good question. well: their motoGP10 does... so i GUESS: yes

[eazyeb]

them bitchs are bad ass!

[boysvandehood]

which one would you guys choose?

[manfredberry]

@boysvandehood already choosen :-) Ducati it is.

couldn't be satisfied more....

[seymorebutters]

Yeah what is the model of that white dainese jacket the scruffy guy is wearing?

[greenrolaids]

mcn is 1000% better now, then they were just one year ago.

TY

[ElDiabloZX14]

Great quality video and finally no wind noise.

[ianlow1973]

Good work on another great quality video! Both content and production wise... Keep it up! Would like to see more of this!

[foyosu]

finally, a good quality video

and, oh, yeah... gorgeous bikes...

[oCannabusdriver]

man this dood really needs to catch up on his sleep... he looks like he hasnt slept for days in almost all of the vids hes in... i thought i had it bad

[biglandfarm]

I like twins better than in line 4s, soooo duc for me

[nintendo007]

I like V twins also because of their rich sounds But you know that 2009 R1 kind of sounds like a Twin. But I would rather have a Ducati so what about the maintenance it's a joy to have and ride but for now I'll stick with my CBR

[sneekylinux]

better cams and new editing software=better end content,well done guys,it is now a joy to watch...

[MrBradbox]

The quality of the video is so much better than previous stuff. Well done MCN!

[rheaMDC21]

very awesome video clear quality!

[kuhlka]

Lucky motojournalist bastards. Wish I could get paid to flog around on those two bikes for a day.

[MrButterscotch1]

I like the look of both bikes and this video demonstrates that MCN are really coming on with their vlog/video review stuff. Good work lads!

[Darren950]

Ian, You really are getting your shit together with your filming and editing, well done me old china ;-))

[mrjmond]

Professionals ;)

[hellicks]

Oh, and... good video, professional hand at work

[hellicks]

I never realized how high+backswept the pegs were on both bikes...

[BrakeHorsePower92]

MV is not really my taste. Streetfighter looks much better to me.

[s1914]

Great vid !

[bellini66]

It's always fun to watch your video reviews - I just wish you guys made more! :) Keep it up...

[HazeGreyAndUnderway]

great camera quality! Keep up the good work! I'd go with the Duc myself

[sampsalol]

Hey guys this is an awesome video, probably your best to date. The camera work and the new music really adds a good vibe to this video, the only downside is that the audio is out of sync.. But please do make more videos like this, this is your best video to date.

[shotokanbiker]

MV sounds like the winner, it has everything but the uncomfortable riding position of the Ducati. however both are sexy!

[dashisna]

It's amazing how the quality of MCN's video crew has improved. Ever since 2010 started the reviews and video quality are way better than last year. You really get a sence of expertice from the people from MCN. From the camera man, to the riders an hosts, my god MCN, well done. We can expect some good reviews from you this 2010. Congratulations!!!

[marpetpet]

@dashisna - I guess you work for MCN, or you're the mother of one these boys...? Come on, they might know what they are talking about, but do we really need to have them in view sooooo long, instead of the bikes? How dull is that? If people want to look at ugly guys, there's plenty of other sites for that... let us enjoy the bikes!

[shafro1]

great vid! hopefully fast lane daily will take a leave out of mcn's book and start producing videos of this quality. cheers guys.

[AbdulRa7eeM]

awesome looking bikes!

[Faux86]

Yay for whomever this Ian Jubb is - he's doing a fantastic job on the new style video's - keep it up! They're a joy to watch!

[tonicroatia]

nice video, love the editing

bikes are amazing and honestly even if i had the money i couldn't decide which one would i have they're just incredible

[wasdom01]

Ah, OK then. I'll take back my initial 4 star rating and give it a 5 then! The stop motion bike twirls were a nice touch too :).
