What a crap review. The tests needs to be conducted so that neither back has an advantage and both are as even as can be. If the gearing is to tall change it. Who would buy the 1098 over the RR? The RR is in effect, so much more motorcycle and its potential is way more vast.
@Countavery as he said at 0:33-0:38 that just in case anything happens so i believe that the put 1198 (full racing) fairings on it so it doesnt mess up the original fairings if it happens to crash.
Buy a 1198 and ride the thing and save the cash. Leave the Desmosedici to the rich guys who think they can buy skills or think it will impress girls, lol. No woman could tell the price difference between a Desmosedici and a 1198, to them they both will look cool, but a nice car will look cooler, lol :)
both are good bikes, but it depends of the driver...... you can give the best bike in the world to a cheap driver, and sucks.... and the cheap bike in a hand of a good driver looks awesome.... anyway for me 1098 look better than desmo 16
wait... they're comparing a $20,000 motorcycle to a $90,000 motorcycle? and yet they still have to give the desmosidici a little bit of an advantage? lol
So true about personal preference of bike. I mean honestly, by the Desmosidici should walk all over the 1098 but in order to accurately compare both bikes, you require a extremely skilled rider who will push both bikes to the limit. I personally like the look of the 1098R, however the Desmo is something to be honored. As far as I know, it is the first time a replica MOTO GP bike has been manufactured for the public. Yes there are replica SBK versions of the 1098R and respect to that bike.
@17james17 You are correct, all Great American Riders. However in my original post i meant to write some Great American riders currently competing at the top level and included Colin Edwards.
Really? Hmm, good job that I'll only buy one when I go back to Canada then, because most of the Desmos in that hemisphere are in the USA (Canada only got like 3), and those Yanks don't ride them (as if they cud properly anyway :P ), they just keep them in air-conditioned garages and trailer them to bike shows and such!
@emtildeath Actually mate I'm 27 :P I'm in Ireland atm working, but will be going back to Canada in 3 yrs where they'll hopefully be around $50 000 in a few years, which is doable
But anyway, I just checked autotrader and the cheapest was £35 000, if they were £25k now, I'd probably sell my Multistrada, buy a scooter to get to work and then buy the Desmo IMMEDIATELY! :)
The DD RR is like a shelby supersnake. Excessive HP, loud, and beautiful to watch. But I agree with the host I would stick with the 1098R. its sleeker, has more managaeble HP and cant possibly be beat in turns.
what i see is that the 1098r can beat the RR........ u just need a good rider,,,, the RR is not THAT sports bike killers that DUC try to persuade us.......
on track the RR is not a deal ... cost to much for nothing.,....u just have a collector,, that works well,,,, not THE ULTIMATE chrono killer.....
got a 1198 S and honestly,,i find it sexier than the fish face of the RR....
..
cannot wait VALE on the DUC',,,, FORZA ITALIA.......
I could have bought either bike today. A second hand D16RR for $80,000 or a new 1098R Bayliss Edition for $50,000(marked down from $60,000 for a mid year sale). I took the 1098R.
@bradlez996... a 2nd hand Desmo for $80K??? You would've gotten ROBBED considering they sold new for $72.5 (w/out a previously purchased 999r) and they go on eBay all the time for around $60K.
Either way you couldn't have gone wrong on any of those bikes--- just on the purchase price!
nice video, but whats the deal with MCN and the gay background music, i mean wtf, you are riding superbikes, this sounds like a cooking tv show music or something, tell your post-prod guy to use some action music or something, good video tough
He says that they made modifications to give the desmo a chance the desmo is faster and a better bike the 1098r is just behind that. 1198r is probably even with desmo and don't hate I know what I'm talking about my dad is a rep for ducati.
La 1098 R est dévoilée au salon de Milan 2007. Conçue afin d'homologuer la 1098 pour le championnat mondial de Superbike, la R possède un moteur de 1 198 cm³ avec des valeurs d'alésage et de course de chaque cylindre respectivement de 106 et 67,9 mm.
@rarerrac the 1098R should still have a 1098R sticker regardless. I think it's simply because it's a track bike and with track bikes, you slap on whatever fairings you have after it goes down.
@Countavery technically the 1098R is an 1198. The 1098 and 1098 S had 100 fewer cc's than the R version. Maybe this guy just put the 1198 logo on it to look cool at the time, not knowing the 1198 would be real in a year or two.
I'm usually sold with MCN reviews but I refuse to believe the 1098 is faster than the Desmosedici on any track :P. Perhaps if it was Sete Gibernau on the Desmosedici and Troy Bayliss on the 1098 I would believe it
What a crap! Of course the Desmosedici RR is the faster bike. Otherwise evrey guy who both a "Sedici" would been waisting about 60 000.- which is the price difference between the two...;-)
Iy would have been better if they went more into detail with the bike's eg lap times' if they rode both bike and there times respectfully. the guy on the 1098 looks alot stronger on the brakes wonder how he went on the desmo?
desmosedici has no four pulses for cylinders like the others but the combustion is working in twins cylinders in asimmetric way, this Twin Pulse, instead of the four pulse make ducati desmosedici's behavior more similar to the ducati's traditional bycilindric motors. So yes has for cylinders but is like a double bicylinders for the reason I explained about how they are working..I drive a Ducati and I'm Italian so believe me ;)
@yoGOES It comes from the factory tame for the street. If it wasnt it would not be street legal. Have you heard a desmosedici gp in person LOL? The only thing that is the same about the street desmosedici rr and the race desmosedici gp is the engine design and capacity of 990cc. Crank is lighter, Cams are degreed more advance, Pistons are higher compression, engine mapping is different and no db killers on the race bike. Headwork, HC pistons will improve the 1198 or just buy a 2010 1198R corse
Not necceserilly, almeria is tight and twisty the desmocedici can't stretch it's legs, in britain this bike costs £40,000 and the 1098R (with 200cc more than the desmo) costs something like £35,000 so it's not like it's going up against your everyday street bike, even the 1098r is a wepon on track. at a track with higher average speed it could be diffrent.
Both bikes are amazing.... but it depends on the track, the 1098r has a higher cornering speed that the d16rr, but that one has more top speed..... on a track like Assen the Desmo would win....
Wanker! Which is better or quicker as it should be depends allot on rider skill and variance. In addition, it's not just about which bike is quicker, come on if you had a choice would you not choose the RR? Don't get me wrong the 1098R is beautiful.
Great video, both bikes are amazing. Was surprised with the result, really expected the demo to win guess it shows all the extra ££££ to buy one makes small difference compared to other bikes, it's still the best sounding bike around though!
First off, I'm an American. Second, any American who claims that harleys are faster or cheaper than the Ducati bikes is naive. However, claiming that they are "better" may be a matter of opinion to some people. Personally, I am a huge fan of Ducati, Aprilia, and the Italian bike makers in general. I own a Ducati Monster and I want to get one of the superbikes down the road.
Anyway, I just wanted to make it clear that there are Americans who appreciate good Italian bikes, too.
and we appreciate american's bikes too :) You can buy a Ducati for cheper price than me, this I don't like about Ducati :( or same price, or threat national bikers with a bit of reguards isn't it fair?
this is a video about two badass ducati's why in the FUCK are you talking about goddamn cars? the zr1 looks like typical american bullshit i must agree, but the bottom line is, ducati HANDS DOWN makes the most spine tingling, grin-administering, badass sound....period. takes your car comments back to 8 mile where they came from...fag
iiredeye, You're the biggest fanboy I have seen here. I have read all 100 comments that came before yours and not one mentions a Harley. The only thing American that comes anywhere near close to a Duc is a Buell and they do not race WSBK. So Buell is not yet close to Ducati. Aside from a hand full of open minded sport bikers the commentary here is a Ducati fans dream.
Buell do not race because is a pretty good bike, pretty good looks, but motor is not great, harley don't need presentation, is the most famous bike in the world, but has no bikes in the category of Ducati's bike except Buell that still has to grew up so much in their motors. Recently I was reading about an harley that comes like a naked to go in the naked market but with a competitve motor and affordable price (13-14000 dollars about) I don't remember model but I like :)
Not all Buells sport Harley engines. Toward the end Erick Buell started to use the Austrian Rotax engine on their race oriented bikes, which really stepped up the performance. Still they had to bend the rules to get the Buell to win the AMA title it now carries. If I lived in a world where I had to chose between an American Buell or an Italian Ducati based only on performance it would be the Duc that would win my dollars. Still I love both to be honest.
While you can still buy Buells and Harley will honor their warranties, sadly Harley Davidson dropped the Buell line and does not have plans to make any new ones. Erik Buell has gone back to racing, well building race prepped Buells for interested buyers. If I had the money I would pick one up right now as it very well could become a collectors item in the future. As for me I am looking into Norton, Triumph and Ducati I don't have the money for a Buell right now.
so it means that Erick Buell will not update bikes with the new engines for big market? If it's like that, is not so good new, I would like to see a Buell with a prepotent engine like in Ducati's bikes,he miss nothing to have it and Buell is a very good looking products then with a rorax motor could open a good prospective in naked category
@piwright42 ...and Buell's are made like crap. I went to MMI, and there we worked on some Buells. We would have to replace bolts and what not after just a few assembly/disassembly cycles because the threads would be all ruined. re-tapping holes in cast parts was fun too. it's like the whole bike is made of cheap chinese castings. when you take one apart and look at how they're put together it's really embarassing to call that america's best effort at a superbike. just half-assed.
your an idiot...we could find a couple dozen videos of corvettes beating porsches but nobody cares ..stop reading the comments if you don't realize the whole world has idiots, and nobodies denying America has her share... but guess what you just joined the idiot group for your comment...cause your all high on your media-built chair when in reality you have no right to be arrogant, and if you brush up on your history you'd realize that... apology rejected douche
exactly, 1098 is 1098 cc, 1098R has 1198 cc, 1198 has 1198 cc. but between an 1198 and a 1098R I absolutely have no doubts to buy a 1098R, is ready to race, is the bike that is winning everywhere, 1198 is not still.. :)
It most certainly is. Riding a bike is always gonna be more difficult than driving a car, because it's so much more raw. There's no assistance when riding bikes like this. It's you, two wheels, and an engine the size of a tailgate cooler between your legs.
I've ridden a D16 and it's breath taking. Got home and downloaded the data logger. The rear wheel got up to 184 mph on a short straight and it was still pulling hard. Geared for about 175 would be fantastic. After about 50 miles I was wanting more power. So that's what heroin is like? And how did they get it to feel as natural to ride as a Monster? Unreal bike. Pure fantasy brought to reality.
I ran into an inline rider who said that he didn't like the sound of the dry clutch and would never buy a Ducati because of it. I would never buy a Ducati with a wet clutch, it's just an attempt to attract inline riders. I wish that Ducati would just stick to what they do best, which is everything that sets them apart from the others.
People think my Multistrada sounds like a tractor! And sometimes at lights I pull the clutch in so that it doesn't annoy people in cars at traffic lights (in Ireland we filter, so i'm usually about 3 inches away from their door). Its a bit of an annoyance in that regard, but I suppose its part of the Ducati "character" (I hate it tho wen arrogant Duc riders say Jap bikes have no character - simply not true)
sound is the base, what to us is giving smile just to turn on our ducati. I know it's annoyng some people around in some place, but without I don't knpw if I can love it in the same. To us, in Italy (also depend from place to place) is not so annoyng for people that listen this tractors, they are encouraging like you are racing :). better to drive a ducati in places where you can, not in a city of course, what's enjoing in this moto in a city? can't make noise, can't run..
What a crap review. The tests needs to be conducted so that neither back has an advantage and both are as even as can be. If the gearing is to tall change it. Who would buy the 1098 over the RR? The RR is in effect, so much more motorcycle and its potential is way more vast.

reit0156 2 years ago
Not necceserilly, almeria is tight and twisty the desmocedici can't stretch it's legs, in britain this bike costs £40,000 and the 1098R (with 200cc more than the desmo) costs something like £35,000 so it's not like it's going up against your everyday street bike, even the 1098r is a wepon on track. at a track with higher average speed it could be diffrent.

Both bikes are amazing.... but it depends on the track, the 1098r has a higher cornering speed that the d16rr, but that one has more top speed..... on a track like Assen the Desmo would win....

Ok..so if the 1098R is a "hair" quicker...why the hell is it almost ALWAYS behind the D16RR in the video?
DucStewie 2 years ago
Wanker! Which is better or quicker as it should be depends allot on rider skill and variance. In addition, it's not just about which bike is quicker, come on if you had a choice would you not choose the RR? Don't get me wrong the 1098R is beautiful.

Great video, both bikes are amazing. Was surprised with the result, really expected the demo to win guess it shows all the extra ££££ to buy one makes small difference compared to other bikes, it's still the best sounding bike around though!

Just realised there is something wrong with this video!
There aren't thousands of American fanboys bombarding the comments box claiming the Harley Davidsons are faster,better, cheaper etc etc.
Sorry ive just been watching video of Porsche GT2 beating a Corvette, different world, on 2 wheels the Americans go very quiet.
iiredeye 2 years ago
First off, I'm an American. Second, any American who claims that harleys are faster or cheaper than the Ducati bikes is naive. However, claiming that they are "better" may be a matter of opinion to some people. Personally, I am a huge fan of Ducati, Aprilia, and the Italian bike makers in general. I own a Ducati Monster and I want to get one of the superbikes down the road.
Anyway, I just wanted to make it clear that there are Americans who appreciate good Italian bikes, too.

this is a video about two badass ducati's why in the FUCK are you talking about goddamn cars? the zr1 looks like typical american bullshit i must agree, but the bottom line is, ducati HANDS DOWN makes the most spine tingling, grin-administering, badass sound....period. takes your car comments back to 8 mile where they came from...fag
07tbest 2 years ago 4
iiredeye, You're the biggest fanboy I have seen here. I have read all 100 comments that came before yours and not one mentions a Harley. The only thing American that comes anywhere near close to a Duc is a Buell and they do not race WSBK. So Buell is not yet close to Ducati. Aside from a hand full of open minded sport bikers the commentary here is a Ducati fans dream.
piwright42 2 years ago
Buell do not race because is a pretty good bike, pretty good looks, but motor is not great, harley don't need presentation, is the most famous bike in the world, but has no bikes in the category of Ducati's bike except Buell that still has to grew up so much in their motors. Recently I was reading about an harley that comes like a naked to go in the naked market but with a competitve motor and affordable price (13-14000 dollars about) I don't remember model but I like :)
MrDesmo4 2 years ago
Not all Buells sport Harley engines. Toward the end Erick Buell started to use the Austrian Rotax engine on their race oriented bikes, which really stepped up the performance. Still they had to bend the rules to get the Buell to win the AMA title it now carries. If I lived in a world where I had to chose between an American Buell or an Italian Ducati based only on performance it would be the Duc that would win my dollars. Still I love both to be honest.
piwright42 2 years ago
That's a good new! I didn't this, but I know Rotax engines and are fantastic. Hope that Buell will grow up like deserve with this new motors.
MrDesmo4 2 years ago
While you can still buy Buells and Harley will honor their warranties, sadly Harley Davidson dropped the Buell line and does not have plans to make any new ones. Erik Buell has gone back to racing, well building race prepped Buells for interested buyers. If I had the money I would pick one up right now as it very well could become a collectors item in the future. As for me I am looking into Norton, Triumph and Ducati I don't have the money for a Buell right now.
piwright42 2 years ago
so it means that Erick Buell will not update bikes with the new engines for big market? If it's like that, is not so good new, I would like to see a Buell with a prepotent engine like in Ducati's bikes,he miss nothing to have it and Buell is a very good looking products then with a rorax motor could open a good prospective in naked category
MrDesmo4 2 years ago
@piwright42 ...and Buell's are made like crap. I went to MMI, and there we worked on some Buells. We would have to replace bolts and what not after just a few assembly/disassembly cycles because the threads would be all ruined. re-tapping holes in cast parts was fun too. it's like the whole bike is made of cheap chinese castings. when you take one apart and look at how they're put together it's really embarassing to call that america's best effort at a superbike. just half-assed.
Jmartin2683 2 years ago 2
your an idiot...we could find a couple dozen videos of corvettes beating porsches but nobody cares ..stop reading the comments if you don't realize the whole world has idiots, and nobodies denying America has her share... but guess what you just joined the idiot group for your comment...cause your all high on your media-built chair when in reality you have no right to be arrogant, and if you brush up on your history you'd realize that... apology rejected douche

360mmspider 2 years ago
It most certainly is. Riding a bike is always gonna be more difficult than driving a car, because it's so much more raw. There's no assistance when riding bikes like this. It's you, two wheels, and an engine the size of a tailgate cooler between your legs.

I've ridden a D16 and it's breath taking. Got home and downloaded the data logger. The rear wheel got up to 184 mph on a short straight and it was still pulling hard. Geared for about 175 would be fantastic. After about 50 miles I was wanting more power. So that's what heroin is like? And how did they get it to feel as natural to ride as a Monster? Unreal bike. Pure fantasy brought to reality.

I ran into an inline rider who said that he didn't like the sound of the dry clutch and would never buy a Ducati because of it. I would never buy a Ducati with a wet clutch, it's just an attempt to attract inline riders. I wish that Ducati would just stick to what they do best, which is everything that sets them apart from the others.

The sound of dry clutch is realy a bit irritating,besides 848 got wet clutch and many people who test it think of it as a step forward actually...
vatraljski 2 years ago
People think my Multistrada sounds like a tractor! And sometimes at lights I pull the clutch in so that it doesn't annoy people in cars at traffic lights (in Ireland we filter, so i'm usually about 3 inches away from their door). Its a bit of an annoyance in that regard, but I suppose its part of the Ducati "character" (I hate it tho wen arrogant Duc riders say Jap bikes have no character - simply not true)
AroonR6 2 years ago
sound is the base, what to us is giving smile just to turn on our ducati. I know it's annoyng some people around in some place, but without I don't knpw if I can love it in the same. To us, in Italy (also depend from place to place) is not so annoyng for people that listen this tractors, they are encouraging like you are racing :). better to drive a ducati in places where you can, not in a city of course, what's enjoing in this moto in a city? can't make noise, can't run..
