i prefer the v-twin ducatim a lil less common for bikes on the road and more fun because of the low end torque...and im not one to wanna buy a bike because of looks but i love the way ducati looks
aftermarket parts for the duc are way more over 2 grand for a termigoni slip on and about 1100 for a slip on from any other aftermarket company not to mention the service cost on a duc is gonna be more than a gsxr. But at the end of the day you WILL turn heads on a duc which is why people buy them.
First off the Suzuki is a 100cc smaller yet makes more 133 RWHP/ D-121.22 RWHP. It does have hydraulic disc Brakes, rear hydraulic disc. The price is 2400.00 ? more for the Ducati. Looks are subjective to the beholder. So the only thing the Ducati has is a little TQ over the smaller GSXR750. They never say witch one is the faster on the track. It's not a apple to apple comparison. The cost to maintain would be a big factor over the years,With tires ect. That's my two cents, yl
See the Duc is better for most people who want to race their friends, however if you want a bike that will require you to LEARN to be a better rider get the Gixxer.
@ezrahumane It's more Ferrari vs Koenigsegg because the gsx-r is more more more ....powerfful like the 848 (150 hp for gsx-r and 132 for 848 at aprox same torq) and more faster
@siekiersk Honda doesn't make a "middleweight" sport bike, which is too bad really. I'm a die hard duc fan, but when I had a 600rr I honestly had no complaints about it, it would be dope if they made a 750.
more like ferrari to LF-A...thats the yami, ferrari to an gt-r...works, duc to scuderia through shell oil, if anything outside of them both being italian, and the gsxr through nissan, that said, the gt-r may be fast and less expensive, etc, etc...but you just can't beat the mystique, the soul of a ferrari...hats off to the gsxr, but some things can't be surmised in performance figures...
A fat bald poser will pick the Duc cause he thinks it makes him look good, but I look better puttin my 750 gixxer up the inside, round the out side or on the back wheel past those tossers.
not sure what these to guys were trying to prove, both bikes have great racing history, and awesome street bikes. what they dont understand is that these bikes are different kinds of motorcyclist, as for bang for your buck, the Jap bike most jap bikes do look and sound like the rest, the ducati, more expensive, more thumbs up from almost every creature, on earth, a total discussion magnet, total wallet buster, super models love it, even the scanks, most views from onlookers & motorist, noisiest
i would have to say that the ducati is definitely worth 2300 more. Not only because of the facts mentioned above but also, the marchesini wheels that come standard on the ducati are 2 grand brand new...so really, i think the ducati is a better value, even for more money. Plus the low end torque that a ducati makes is so much more practical on the road.
@gixxerich hope u enjoying your gixxer .................got me an 08 600 bout a year now wanna buy a 2011 1000 but its hurting me to sell the 600 i love it lol
@TychoCelchu Whoo whant power,reliability,speed and performance is going to buy the gsx-r 750 ...and whoo whant a red bike with some aftermarket stuff and bad,not reliabile and less hp. ,hard and costly maintenance will buy a 848 shitcati
@Mephistocbrxx11 You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. Have you ridden both bikes? I have.
Suzuki are not more reliable than the current Ducati bikes. Suzuki is well known as having the poorest finish out of the Japanese companies, resulting in corrosion being a common problem.
The 2008 GSXR on test here had poor brakes. A vital component on any bike.
If the GSXR was better, why did Suzuki copy Ducati by fitting Brembo brakes and Showa suspension on the new GSXR?
@TychoCelchu Ș))) brembo and showa ha? the brembo part is ok....brembo is better ...if i whant a good bike i buy the suzuki and i put on it brembo brakes ,ohlins suspensions ,yoshimura exhaust .....but if you whant a good ducati you cand fit a gsx-r 750 engine in it wright? if the suzuki come stock with brembo,yoshi,ohlins the cost will be 20.000 euros that whi some things like brakes are not the best ...and showa is stock for suzuki from many years,hondas too
@Mephistocbrxx11 Apparently you have some mental health issues. Why do you have such rage towards Ducati? Did a v-twin touch you in a naughty place?
No sane person would want to put the 750 engine into the 848. The 848 puts out more torque, giving better acceleration and it doesn't need to be revved a lot to keep it in the power.
I'll ask the question again, have you ridden both bikes?
@TychoCelchu Man i have in my garage bikes that you are dream about:)) a gsx-r 1000k5 yoshimura edition with s-rad 213 hp(29.000 euro),cbr 1000rr abs 2009 ,zx10-r 2008 ,yamaha r1 2009 ,hayabusa 2009 ,b-king 2010 and mz etz 250 (1983) and i had a 1098r ducati .......and i ridded any posibile bike and i tell you cuz ducati dan't worth the money ...is not reliabile very expensive service ,less hp .Ducati 848=134 hp 98.5 KW @ 10000rpm 96 Nm @ 8250rpm Suzuki=150hp 13500 rpm. 86nm at 750 not 850cc!!
@Mephistocbrxx11 Oh it must be true then. Just like you saying all Ducati bikes are unreliable must be true.
All of the European manufacturers are known to have improved their reliability, bringing them in line with the Japanese. It's now a lot more about personal taste. Especially when the Japanese prices have increased so much.
If you like twins, but don't like Ducati, I suggest that you try the Aprilia RSV1000 Factory or the KTM RC8R. For variety you could try the V4 Aprilia RSV4 Factory.
@TychoCelchu Aprilia is ok......much better bike like ducati and the best italian bike is moto guzzi......i respect that bike.....the ktm is crap...i had a lc4 duke ......worst bike ever. The best bike i had was cbr 1100xx .(240.000km with that bike with only oil change,one timing kit changed,and 2 time valve clearence )with ny gsx-r 1000k5 i have 85.000km and again no major service (2 time valve clearence and oil change)When ducati made bikes reliabile and powerful like the japanese i buy one
@Mephistocbrxx11 So you have supposedly done about 500,000km just on 3 bikes and in the last 3 years you have owned other bikes worth over 100,000 EUR?
You're also claiming that Jap bikes can do 80-100,000km without a major service? What a load of rubbish. I've seen many Jap bikes which have done less than 30,000km with seized brakes, rotted exhausts, worn out suspension, busted cams and messed up engine compression.
You rate Moto Guzzi over the Aprilia RSV and RSV4? Now I know that you're mad
@TychoCelchu Einstein i live in germany where wi have the AUTOBAHN!! WITH NO SPEED LIMIT and i do easi 50-60.000 km on year so shut the fuck up italian ass kisser.With the cbr xx i made 240.000km from 99 to 2006 is fuckin 7 years!!and with k5 from 2005 to 2011 so what's so fuckin wrong. when i said moto guzzi is the best italian bike i was not saing the fastest ...is the most reliabile from all but you are so fucking stoopid and you get me wrong....until you reach my level shut the fuck up
You have repeatedly claimed that the Ducati engines don't have enough power for you, but you also say that you like v-twins very much and claim to have done 160,000km on a Honda VTR 1000. The 848 has the same bhp as the VTR. You completely contradicted yourself.
You have an autobahn, big deal. Just because there is no speed limit doesn't automatically mean that you're doing more than 50,000km a year.
@TychoCelchu Now you have not ideea of what you jus said:)))))) that stoopid are you ? man count pigeons in park or something ......let the bikes to those whoo know something about them ok? mans like me whoo have 7 of them not like you whoo have only magasines or posters:)))))))))
@Mephistocbrxx11 Learn to read English and learn to use a spellchecker.
You claimed that you had "ridden any possible bike" but you also never answered my question, have you actually ridden the 2 bikes in the video? If not, you are really in no position to comment about them.
Your arguments against the 848 have complained about lack of bhp, when anyone that has ridden twins will know that isn't what they are about. Less power hasn't stopped Ducati winning a lot of WSB races over the years.
@TychoCelchu And from where the fuck did you pull out those 500.000 km in 3 years? are you fucking blind? when i sed that? ha? are you stoopid and blind? GB. ...a country of stoopid and blind people whoo have no ideea how to count:)) 240.000+80.000=5000.000:))) cry baby just cry because i will shit on your ducati:)))wright on handle bars. I made much over 500.000km with all my bikes but i made this in 14 years not 3 you blind idiot and that is normal for any biker
@Mephistocbrxx11 Learn to read. I said that you did nearly 500,000km on 3 bikes. I then said that you also claimed to have owned more than 100,000 EUR of bikes in the last 3 years.
3 bikes, idiot. Not 3 years. You also claimed to have done 160,000km on the VTR. The mileage of your K5 has suddenly changed from 85,000km to 80,000km.
1999 to now is not 14 years. 500,000km plus the mileage for all the other bikes you claim to own.
Apparently you are the one that is "stoopid and blind."
@TychoCelchu i never ever said cuz i made 160.000 km on vtr ....read again i never owned a vtr i like the vtr, i ridded a vtr but that's it, read again ....and now this are your words copy paste:"@Mephistocbrxx11 So you have supposedly done about 500,000km just on 3 bikes and in the last 3 years you have owned other bikes worth over 100,000 EUR?".........MAN SHUT THE FUCK UP your stupidity is too strong for me:))))))))))
@Mephistocbrxx11 You claimed that you had done a certain number of km on bikes without a major service. You also posted about the VTR doing 160,000km without a major service. In the context of your posts, it was logical that you meant that you had owned and ridden one for 160,000km. Anything else is just you throwing out a random number.
Read the bit about the 500,000km again. There is an "and" in the middle of the sentence, which separates the 500,000km from the 3 years.
@TychoCelchu Man it was the cbrxx with i made not 160.000 but 240.000 in 7 years not vtr read my topics again WTF!!! and yes i ridded the 848 and the gsx-r but the gsx-r wich i ridded had the same suspensions,brakes and exhaust like the 848 and for that reason was far more superiuor like the 848.And again your words:'@Mephistocbrxx11 So you have supposedly done about 500,000km just on 3 bikes and in the last 3 years you have owned other bikes worth over 100,000 " so where the fuck is "and"????
@Mephistocbrxx11 You really are an idiot. You mentioned 160,000km in relation to the VTR. You also mentioned 240,000km in relation to the CBR and 85,000km in relation to the K5. The context of you how you used the mileage was the same for all 3 bikes.
The GSXR K8-K10 model in this video didn't have Brembo brakes. WTF are you on about the 848 and GSXR having the same exhaust? It may just be your poor use of English, but you're talking a load of crap.
@TychoCelchu Stoopid fuck this is my topic and you can see cuz i NOT said "I MADE 160.000KM" I SED CUZ THE VTR RUNS WITHOUT PROBLEMS 160.000KM YOU BLIND IDIOT!!!:" And ducati is a l twin not v twin........and i like v twins very much but thei are honda vtr sp1 or 2 because is very easi to ride ,reliabile (160.000km.with no major service ) and vith brembo,ohlins and acrapovic like ducati have is much better bike like 999 ducati .
@TychoCelchu And the 750 wich i ridded was not stock but it was perfect mach for 848 because it used the same technical stuff (OHLINS SUSPENSION, BREMBO BRAKES, AND FULL TERMIGIONI ESHAUST).So what the fuck do you want to know now? ......I HAVE NOW THE PROOF CUZ YOU ARE STOOPID:)))) IT WAS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD WHEN I SAID TO YOU TO GO AND COUNT PIGEONS:))))
@Mephistocbrxx11 Those extras would make the GSXR cost a lot more than the 848. That's at least another 5,000 EUR. If they're going to make those sort of mods to a bike, then it's a safe bet that the engine had been tuned, too. Even more money.
Who puts a full Termignoni system on a GSXR? Yoshimura is better suited or Akrapovic.
What is it with you and pigeons? Is this one of those weird German things, like bestiality and invading Poland?
@TychoCelchu And .....i cand help myself:)))))STUPIDITY IS STRONG IN YOU!!!! And with this i'me done talking with you .........go and count pigeons in park.........or wach cartoon tetwork BIKES OR POSTING,READING......ETC ARE NOT FOR YOU!!
@Mephistocbrxx11 You rant and shout like a child having a tantrum. You contradict yourself and just quote numbers instead of showing any real knowledge of the bikes that you claim to have ridden and/or owned.
Get your mother to change your diaper, wipe the drool from your chin and go back to school. Perhaps then you might learn to write and act like an adult.
@TychoCelchu Like i said i had a 1098r ducati .....that bike was not bad on the track but after a weekend on the track it was one week in service and i'me not joking evry 6.000 km valve clearence because it have desmodromic timing ,timing belts and tensioners must be replaced evry 7.500 miles ......etc. and that cost 2to 3500 euros evry time!!!! and the 1098 and 1198have les hp like any 1000cc jap bike at same weit ratio but jap bikes are VERY RELIABILE no major service untill 80-100.000 km!!!!
@TychoCelchu And ducati is a l twin not v twin........and i like v twins very much but thei are honda vtr sp1 or 2 because is very easi to ride ,reliabile (160.000km.with no major service ) and vith brembo,ohlins and acrapovic like ducati have is much better bike like 999 ducati .
@Mephistocbrxx11 Didn't like the VTR. The fuel mapping was pretty bad. Much preferred the Aprilia RSV 1000 Factory that I used to have. My current 999s also handles much better than the VTR, it reminds me a lot of the GSXR750 K8 in this video. Only with a better engine and brakes.
BTW what exactly does Honda have to do with the Suzuki and Ducati in this video? Current Ducati bikes are rated to be at least as reliable as Suzuki, with better finish.
19.1 here in vancouver after everything and + msrp 1,800 ish* so yeah to have it in your drive way its going to be 20 with tax and everything inc. well worth it if you're stable.
@Applepieisftw what bike feels stronger n faster?rc51 or 848?im looking to get into twins n tested a beat up rc 51 the other day.i was kinda impressed with the power i felt even though the rc had no power cammander.ive been riding inlines for ten years now,last bike was a moded 02 gsxr1000.just want to know who feels faster n stronger n acceleration?rc51 or 848?let me know guys thanks.
@freightrain808 i don't have too much experience myself but I've been reading a lot about the 848 and the torque and power are beautiful. However during the reviews that I've read said that the power doesn't really come into play until around 7k rpms... but this is only what I have read.
if you were to hand me a bike and I had a choice between a GSX-R 750 or an 848... i don't even have to think about the bike i'd take... my automatic response will be the ducati... the ducati will always be worth more as well..
the fours have to be reved all the time to make power.. the fours are going to be faster higher reving bikes... i don't know how often you ride at 160 + MPH or (260 KPH) but i don't do that everyday on the road.. i do like the GSX-R 750, my brother in-law rides one and it's a great bike! it's a hard bike not to like!
@thequintsband Ive been on the suzuki and I think it feels like a fast bicycle.lol. No doubt that a jap bike can be falling apart but can start as long as it has a good battery. I own an 09 848, and MV brute and F4. There really is nothing like a Ducati.the ride is amazing and i love the twin it has. Im not a very big fan of 4cyl, I wish my F4 and Brute were twins.
copmaring a four cylinder to an L-Twin is a hard thing to do,, they are very different... so,,,verdict: they are both amazing motorcycle manufactures and produce amazing machines! the ducati looks more professional and more intelligent and makes more power at a lower RPM than an inline four cylinder does therefore is far more user friendly in every circumstance other than being on a race track..
the suzuki is a great bike and so is the ducati.. i never said anything bad about the suzuki other than it's lack of refined beauty and unprofessional fashion sense... the japanese make some of the most reliable bikes on the planet! i have owned lots and lots of motorcycles over the years and i have loved them all for what they are and do! the ducati is VERY reliable motorcycle it just requires more frequent maintenance intervals.. i've got 25,000 miles on my ducati now and no major troubles..
So,,, verdict... both are fabulous bikes and do EVERYTHING well,,, but you have to be an absolute idiot or a squid to take that Suzuki over that Ducati and the gentleman speaking on Suzuki's behalf didn't really create and argument...
@thequintsband Any bike can have suspensions,brakes,exhaust ...etc like ducati .... but ducati will NEVER have engine performance and reliability like a 750 gsx-r so technologically speaking ducati is FAR behind any jap bike not only the 750 gsx-r
@thequintsband So .....verdict......with the same suspensions,brakes, exhaust like ducati the 750 gsx-r is more powerfful,more reliabile,faster,easier and cheaper to mantain, at same money value and ....yes more good looking...........so yes you have to be an absolute idiot to take ducati over Suzuki gentleman speaking or not:))))
Componentry on the Ducati is hands down superior over the Suzuki and the $2300 savings on the Suzuki will have to be spent back on the Suzuki to level it to a Ducati in componentry.. And yes the Ducati is easier to ride fast because it is in it's ranger of power all the time.. That Ducati will pull hard from 4000 rpm and that Suzuki barely gets out of it's own way at anything under 9000 rpm..
I like the analogy stated in the video "it's like comparing a Mustang to a Ferrari"... that blue on that Suzuki is rather ugly and it's lines and fairings are too busy and scattered.. The Suzuki's lines are not timeless,, that Ducati will always be revered as machine that will live through time.. as for technology,, that Ducati represents far more advancements in the motorcycles world than that Suzuki....
@thequintsband Qestion: Ihave a 2010 750gsx-r ,and i instaled on it full ohlins suspensions, brembo brakes ,full akrapovic exhaust and carbon weels .My bike have 155 hp(138 rear wheel) is very reliabile(service 7000 km and is only oil change , valve clearence 25000km).The 848 have suspensions and brakes like my gsx-r, and aprox same exhaust but only 134 hp and is NOT!!!! reliabile at all (6000km valve clearence!!!=1000euro!!! and bike lifetime 75.000km) Wich bike is better?
well Ducati's should be red and this is not up for dispute. (not white).,,, the GSX R is a great machine and so is the 848 but come on let's face reality here! the GSX R is classless in comparison to the Ducati.. let's talk about beauty here and not performance because performance wise they both serve a great purpose...
the ducati is a better bike but it would be its £2300 more expensive, better suspension, better brakes, better everything not too mention its 10,000 times better looking. shitline 4s are for posers!
DUCATI SPECIALIST 1.WORST BIKE EVER MADE (A)JUST LOOK AT THE TRACK RECORD OF THE DUCATIS 749 YOU BE AMAZED :( (B)SOFT ENGINE MEANING .THESE BIKES ARE ONLY GOOD FOR ONE AND ONE ONLY RACING BIKE LIFE 70000KM. (C)SERVICE INTERVAL EVERY 5000KM ( EXPENSIVE (D)VERY BAD TRACK RECORD OF ALL DUCATIS EVEN THE SHIT 1098 or 1198
i hate USA gouvernement and millitary but cant hate on yu guys yu are mens with balls keep going guys and erase the fags presence* srry for my english lolll
Lol another fagget who doesnt understand english.. Why dont you read what i said before you start opening your stupid mouth and saying stupid shit you idiot. I said it was a plus that its a chick magnet you idiot. Wow so many fuckin dumb ass ppl on youtube. Go back to school rem44mag youre an idiot!
im not saying i need a bike to get laid is just that my duc is a chick magnet and im just saying thats a plus. even women know whats the sexiest bike around and thats a ducati.
Why compare Vtwin to L4? Pointless. Both bikes have their respected strong and weak points. Deciding factor is human element. Better rider wins regardless of bike. Besides bikes are so personal. I think Ducs some of hottest looking bikes but dislike Vtwins. I'll take the GSXR and with $ I save, my riding season is paid. And guys, if you need a bike to get laid, you lose.
All the ducati haters out there are just hating cuz they dont have the money to pay for one and have not even ridden one. Once you have ridden a ducati you'll know what WE ducati owners are talking about. Ducati IS the ferrari of bikes period!
@06illistR6 "WE ducati owners" ....bla bla ......SUCK MY DYCK ..i shit on your shitcati.......the worst bike ever....and the powerless from all and very NOT reliable with 100cc more shitcati have 26!!!!!!hp less and after 10.000 miles you have to rebuild the engine ....so what the fuck is so special on ducaties? a 750 gsx-r runs at least 80.000 miles without major service and is 2 times faster ."WE ducati owners" .....suck our "regular" bikers DICK
Both are excellent bikes and if I didn't own an 848. a GSXR-750 would be at the top of my list. I would say the only things the Duc has over the Gixxer are looks and that amazing V-twin sound with Termis. Jap bikes tend to sound like hairdryers when compared to a Duc.
Ive own a lot of jap bikes and now drive a ducati 848. The 848 is by far more superior than any jap bike ive ever ridden. Mephisto you dont know shit about bikes and by the looks of things you dont know how to spell either. You sound like a 12 yr old girl who hasn't hit puberty yet. Ducati ftw!!
@06illistR6 How about a face to face one you spagetti shit . I live in Germany at 4-5 hours from italy .Lets meet on Mugello if you have balls and after i humiliate you at the track i will shit on your SHITcati and force you to eat.You have owned shit .....you wanna tel me cuz the 848 is better like a 1000gsx-r ...or a 1000cbr you stoopid motherfucker?And i have 32 years old not 12 like you i have 5 jap. bikes (all 1000cc 2005-2009 +a2008 hayabusa) and I PISS ON YOUR DUCATI AND FERRARI.
@Mephistocbrxx11 first of all i wanna know where the fuck did you learn your english? i recommend you to learn to speak and write before you start talking shit to ppl who can actually use the language properly, it just show's you that you do not know what the fuck you are talking about. second of all, I'm an American im not gonna go to your shitty town just to show you up! not even worth my time. let me ask you a question how many girls have you gotten from your stupid gsxr? i bet none!
@Mephistocbrxx11 i also bet that you dont have a girlfriend at all you old ugly fuck! ive gotten 3 girls with my ducati, because even they know the difference between a superbike to a peace of shit. ugly fuck!
@06illistR6 :))))))))))) yeah you have 3 girls: your mother, sister and your grandma you stoopid american GAY . The stupidity is strong in you young skiwalker:))))) ..did i spelld good? write me back in german american stoopid:))) AND IF YOU HAVE NOT MONEY ,I PAY YOU THE TRIP IN ITALY and after i humiliate you evribody wil laph at you on youtube ....and don't forget the girls .....or family.....whatever:))))))...o...and please do the corections from the text for me ok?..WE ducati owners:))))))
@06illistR6 And how the fuck are you riding all 4 on your ducati i meen you and the girls ..al 3 of them ha? let me gues....is a fucking trike ducati.....or a fucking car with ducati name on it and a 848 engine in it wright?.I do not have girls but i tel you something: I HAVE REAL BIKES 5 OF THEM not imaginary girls like you!( a 2005 gsx-r 1000 yoshimura edition, a2008 r1, a2009 cbr 1000rr abs ,a 2009 zx10-r and a 2008 hayabusa and i CAN PROOF THAT TO YOU )
@06illistR6 You see........i'me a passionate biker ....bikes are my life and i'me a very good mechanic too . I know what a 848 or 1098 or 1198 can do ......i ridet any possibile bike ........all my friends are bikers ...one of them has 3 ducaties ( 999, 1098 ,and a 1198r) and i ridet all 3 .....whell thei are fast but in straight line are no mach for a 1000cc jap bike ....so you can see cuz i'me know what i'me talcking about...you do not need girls to make you BIKER..is a way of life
i have a ducati ss1000 and it rocks,,,, totally useable power on the road, ok not as quick as the jap crap on the straights but in the twisties its awsome,,,, i passed my bike test to ride twisty stuff and pop wheelies going over brows of hills,,,,, ducati all the way baby,,,,,, :)
Maintenance on a Ducati a lot more than it is on a GSXR. To me it doesn't seem very cost affective. I riden both and decided to go with the GSXR, only because of the maintenance cost. Power and handing both seem the same to me.
Why the 2 cylinder is successful is that it delivers 1/2 the frequency of a 4 cylinder
giving more control while leaned over on the rear tire when the contact patch is at its least position. Being able to accelerate sooner developing more power sooner
giving more rider feel of the back wheel right when he needs to come on the power without the risk of sliding out without control when you need it most
thats why Ducati's motors have the advantage in the corners as well as now having horsepower
You will always have those guys who think American Muscle is the best on the planet....buy Amercian....blah blah blah. It's to the point of ignorance. Everyone knows that Europeans build the best vehicles and motorcycles hands down. The build justifies the price. Ducati's are hand made motorcycles, Japanese bikes are made on a assembly line. That right there makes it special. It's a part of a legacy that thinks hard work and the honest buck is king. You pay for what you get!!
im a bit of a newbie, ive only ridden an older ducati 996 and i own a k1 gixxer 600 (first bike) and ive got to say Ducati are hands down the most beautiful bikes on the road. They also have the best sound, an INSANE power band (a bit scary for a new boy lol) but they ARE a pain on the roads (never been on a track, so far) the 996 was mega uncomfortable lol. Where as the 750 is much more comfy, practical and reliable. And cheaper. If i was loaded it would be duc, but I'll stick with gixxer.
ducatis are not hard to ride judging by the way you think they are you probably havnt ridden one! i rode an 1198 and it was the best bike i have ever ridden by a clear margin! i assume the 848 will be much the same given that the only differance is the engine. fuck your shitline4s its all about the v-twins, much more carachter< mispelt?
I have ridden both the zuk and the duk. Both are good bikes but they both have limitations. Just depends on what your preference is...it's all about enjoying the ride
if you research it...the only difference between Mac and PC is the operating system. and I know this because I am an IT major.
Mac uses intel chips...and you can run bootcamp or VMware for games or whatever you need to run windows. yes it does cost more, but I feel it is more reliable than microsoft crap products...but again, that's just my opinion :)
I like both but I'll probably go with the Suzuki over the Ducati but not because I like eather more or less its just that I can find more pros with the Suzuki then the Ducati. I would really like to experence a Ducati though or any other V twin sport bike for that matter sometime
I found the gixxer750 to be crap on low speed cornering, but a rocket on wheels in straight line dragging so really it comes down to how the bike feels for your style of riding.
i'd be so worried about replacement parts on the duc. Although the thought of the same v-twin power numbers as my tl1000R but way lighter sounds sick. Single swingarms scare me
meh, my used 1098s cost me a little bit more than a new r1 or gsxr, and comes with full ohlins,marchesini rims, termi slip ons + ecu and enough torque to spin the world backwards. I love all bikes but I have to say I'm pretty impressed with my duc and reliability wise i havent had an issue yet.

All ducati is, is a bike with all the top parts already on it. A suzuki on the other hand is a standard bike. add a couple 100 buying equal parts on it and a suzuki will always beat a ducati because they are not even that good of track bike. unless you spend a couple grand because the parts are way more expensive trying to make shit shine. and it still wont beat a built gsxr.
motogp even against hayden. but its more of rider over bike. rossi was winning on a yamaha(way cheaper) and now moved to ducati and we shall see how he does now. probably still win jsut because of skill wise. but they arent any better than any other bike. your paying for a name not a quality. and the only reason the suzuki has a slower response is because of the timing retarder they put on them from factory so its not 100% power on lower rpms. buy a tre and 100% power is now available.
This video just pisses me off in every form and fashion. That ducati is actually about 3500 more than that 750. Look up any 1 v 1 drag races and the 750 always wins. Suzuki looks nothing like any other bike. Where as ducati has about the same look as an R1(headlights, frame, rear end(notswingarm)) Your talking a bike that supposed to be built to do track over a bike thats built to be as fast as possible in more or less a straight line. And suzuki usually gives ducati a run for its money in
ok, i must say sorry, i was being a bit harsh. i do in fact speak German (great people) and also Italian (Fantastic Country) the funny thing is i ride my Ducati (996 engines bike) from the UK to Italy most years. On the road and the track the faster rider will almost always be quicker, a very very quick/fast rider on a cbr600 will sport almost anything on the road, but we know 98% of riders are slow, so when you turn the speeds up that only leaves 2%,are you in the top 2% to tell us.

Not to slam the Ducati, but give me a break. There is no comparison, the Ducati can not run with the little GSXR 750. One more thing, who the hell are these fat sloppy americans to say which bike is better?! These guys are into doughnuts and BigMacs. They are not into motorcycles, because if they were into bikes, they would each lose 50 pounds! Stupid Fat Americans! The most obese nation in the world.
your would have to be insane to spend that much more on the ducati..... what kind of retard spends more for a slower bike.... sorry i forgot some of you ride harlys
look at the fat American's on sports bikes, you fat pigs, you should be riding fagot drag racing hayabusa's and zxr1400's. on the road it's the rider that makes a bike faster than the other bike and a ducati is as quick as any other bike on the road.
Correction! I ride a ducati 848 nicky hayden editon, 1 of 150 made, it produces 134 hp and the duc weighs less. Google it c:

aftermarket parts for the duc are way more over 2 grand for a termigoni slip on and about 1100 for a slip on from any other aftermarket company not to mention the service cost on a duc is gonna be more than a gsxr. But at the end of the day you WILL turn heads on a duc which is why people buy them.

First off the Suzuki is a 100cc smaller yet makes more 133 RWHP/ D-121.22 RWHP. It does have hydraulic disc Brakes, rear hydraulic disc. The price is 2400.00 ? more for the Ducati. Looks are subjective to the beholder. So the only thing the Ducati has is a little TQ over the smaller GSXR750. They never say witch one is the faster on the track. It's not a apple to apple comparison. The cost to maintain would be a big factor over the years,With tires ect. That's my two cents, yl

i would have to say that the ducati is definitely worth 2300 more. Not only because of the facts mentioned above but also, the marchesini wheels that come standard on the ducati are 2 grand brand new...so really, i think the ducati is a better value, even for more money. Plus the low end torque that a ducati makes is so much more practical on the road.

@Mrgearhed That 750 has plenty of low end torque to make it practical on the road.

@Mrgearhed what you're saying in another way is that gsxr brakes are 0$
like the video said same mods will probably be pricier on the ducati.

Mephistocbrxx11 9 months ago
@Mephistocbrxx11 You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. Have you ridden both bikes? I have.
Suzuki are not more reliable than the current Ducati bikes. Suzuki is well known as having the poorest finish out of the Japanese companies, resulting in corrosion being a common problem.
The 2008 GSXR on test here had poor brakes. A vital component on any bike.
If the GSXR was better, why did Suzuki copy Ducati by fitting Brembo brakes and Showa suspension on the new GSXR?

@TychoCelchu Ș))) brembo and showa ha? the brembo part is ok....brembo is better ...if i whant a good bike i buy the suzuki and i put on it brembo brakes ,ohlins suspensions ,yoshimura exhaust .....but if you whant a good ducati you cand fit a gsx-r 750 engine in it wright? if the suzuki come stock with brembo,yoshi,ohlins the cost will be 20.000 euros that whi some things like brakes are not the best ...and showa is stock for suzuki from many years,hondas too

@Mephistocbrxx11 Apparently you have some mental health issues. Why do you have such rage towards Ducati? Did a v-twin touch you in a naughty place?
No sane person would want to put the 750 engine into the 848. The 848 puts out more torque, giving better acceleration and it doesn't need to be revved a lot to keep it in the power.
I'll ask the question again, have you ridden both bikes?

Mephistocbrxx11 9 months ago
@Mephistocbrxx11 Yes, of course you have all those bikes. Ridden any possible bike? Bullshit.
I owned a GSXR1000 K5, which is an excellent bike, but again had poor brakes.
Didn't like the ABS Blade, front end felt vague and the riding position felt like a commuter bike. Preferred the 04-07 versions.
The original ZX10 was excellent. Later models became too soft.
Not tried the 09 R1. The earlier models had no engine braking and vague front end.
Busa and B-King are just straight line speed.

@Mephistocbrxx11 Oh it must be true then. Just like you saying all Ducati bikes are unreliable must be true.
All of the European manufacturers are known to have improved their reliability, bringing them in line with the Japanese. It's now a lot more about personal taste. Especially when the Japanese prices have increased so much.
If you like twins, but don't like Ducati, I suggest that you try the Aprilia RSV1000 Factory or the KTM RC8R. For variety you could try the V4 Aprilia RSV4 Factory.

You're also claiming that Jap bikes can do 80-100,000km without a major service? What a load of rubbish. I've seen many Jap bikes which have done less than 30,000km with seized brakes, rotted exhausts, worn out suspension, busted cams and messed up engine compression.

You have repeatedly claimed that the Ducati engines don't have enough power for you, but you also say that you like v-twins very much and claim to have done 160,000km on a Honda VTR 1000. The 848 has the same bhp as the VTR. You completely contradicted yourself.
You have an autobahn, big deal. Just because there is no speed limit doesn't automatically mean that you're doing more than 50,000km a year.

Your arguments against the 848 have complained about lack of bhp, when anyone that has ridden twins will know that isn't what they are about. Less power hasn't stopped Ducati winning a lot of WSB races over the years.

3 bikes, idiot. Not 3 years. You also claimed to have done 160,000km on the VTR. The mileage of your K5 has suddenly changed from 85,000km to 80,000km.

@Mephistocbrxx11 You claimed that you had done a certain number of km on bikes without a major service. You also posted about the VTR doing 160,000km without a major service. In the context of your posts, it was logical that you meant that you had owned and ridden one for 160,000km. Anything else is just you throwing out a random number.
Read the bit about the 500,000km again. There is an "and" in the middle of the sentence, which separates the 500,000km from the 3 years.

The GSXR K8-K10 model in this video didn't have Brembo brakes. WTF are you on about the 848 and GSXR having the same exhaust? It may just be your poor use of English, but you're talking a load of crap.

BTW what exactly does Honda have to do with the Suzuki and Ducati in this video? Current Ducati bikes are rated to be at least as reliable as Suzuki, with better finish.

copmaring a four cylinder to an L-Twin is a hard thing to do,, they are very different... so,,,verdict: they are both amazing motorcycle manufactures and produce amazing machines! the ducati looks more professional and more intelligent and makes more power at a lower RPM than an inline four cylinder does therefore is far more user friendly in every circumstance other than being on a race track..

Componentry on the Ducati is hands down superior over the Suzuki and the $2300 savings on the Suzuki will have to be spent back on the Suzuki to level it to a Ducati in componentry.. And yes the Ducati is easier to ride fast because it is in it's ranger of power all the time.. That Ducati will pull hard from 4000 rpm and that Suzuki barely gets out of it's own way at anything under 9000 rpm..

I like the analogy stated in the video "it's like comparing a Mustang to a Ferrari"... that blue on that Suzuki is rather ugly and it's lines and fairings are too busy and scattered.. The Suzuki's lines are not timeless,, that Ducati will always be revered as machine that will live through time.. as for technology,, that Ducati represents far more advancements in the motorcycles world than that Suzuki....

@thequintsband Qestion: Ihave a 2010 750gsx-r ,and i instaled on it full ohlins suspensions, brembo brakes ,full akrapovic exhaust and carbon weels .My bike have 155 hp(138 rear wheel) is very reliabile(service 7000 km and is only oil change , valve clearence 25000km).The 848 have suspensions and brakes like my gsx-r, and aprox same exhaust but only 134 hp and is NOT!!!! reliabile at all (6000km valve clearence!!!=1000euro!!! and bike lifetime 75.000km) Wich bike is better?
Mephistocbrxx11 10 months ago
well Ducati's should be red and this is not up for dispute. (not white).,,, the GSX R is a great machine and so is the 848 but come on let's face reality here! the GSX R is classless in comparison to the Ducati.. let's talk about beauty here and not performance because performance wise they both serve a great purpose...

Why compare Vtwin to L4? Pointless. Both bikes have their respected strong and weak points. Deciding factor is human element. Better rider wins regardless of bike. Besides bikes are so personal. I think Ducs some of hottest looking bikes but dislike Vtwins. I'll take the GSXR and with $ I save, my riding season is paid. And guys, if you need a bike to get laid, you lose.

@Mephistocbrxx11 Rather silly, immature post there.
Both are excellent bikes and if I didn't own an 848. a GSXR-750 would be at the top of my list. I would say the only things the Duc has over the Gixxer are looks and that amazing V-twin sound with Termis. Jap bikes tend to sound like hairdryers when compared to a Duc.

Maintenance on a Ducati a lot more than it is on a GSXR. To me it doesn't seem very cost affective. I riden both and decided to go with the GSXR, only because of the maintenance cost. Power and handing both seem the same to me.
akhera001 1 year ago
Why the 2 cylinder is successful is that it delivers 1/2 the frequency of a 4 cylinder
giving more control while leaned over on the rear tire when the contact patch is at its least position. Being able to accelerate sooner developing more power sooner
giving more rider feel of the back wheel right when he needs to come on the power without the risk of sliding out without control when you need it most
thats why Ducati's motors have the advantage in the corners as well as now having horsepower

You will always have those guys who think American Muscle is the best on the planet....buy Amercian....blah blah blah. It's to the point of ignorance. Everyone knows that Europeans build the best vehicles and motorcycles hands down. The build justifies the price. Ducati's are hand made motorcycles, Japanese bikes are made on a assembly line. That right there makes it special. It's a part of a legacy that thinks hard work and the honest buck is king. You pay for what you get!!

They also have the best sound, an INSANE power band (a bit scary for a new boy lol) but they ARE a pain on the roads (never been on a track, so far) the 996 was mega uncomfortable lol. Where as the 750 is much more comfy, practical and reliable. And cheaper. If i was loaded it would be duc, but I'll stick with gixxer.

All ducati is, is a bike with all the top parts already on it. A suzuki on the other hand is a standard bike. add a couple 100 buying equal parts on it and a suzuki will always beat a ducati because they are not even that good of track bike. unless you spend a couple grand because the parts are way more expensive trying to make shit shine. and it still wont beat a built gsxr.

motogp even against hayden. but its more of rider over bike. rossi was winning on a yamaha(way cheaper) and now moved to ducati and we shall see how he does now. probably still win jsut because of skill wise. but they arent any better than any other bike. your paying for a name not a quality. and the only reason the suzuki has a slower response is because of the timing retarder they put on them from factory so its not 100% power on lower rpms. buy a tre and 100% power is now available.

This video just pisses me off in every form and fashion. That ducati is actually about 3500 more than that 750. Look up any 1 v 1 drag races and the 750 always wins. Suzuki looks nothing like any other bike. Where as ducati has about the same look as an R1(headlights, frame, rear end(notswingarm)) Your talking a bike that supposed to be built to do track over a bike thats built to be as fast as possible in more or less a straight line. And suzuki usually gives ducati a run for its money in
