  • fully carbon fiber fairings... *SMACK SMACK*

  • professional rider....shit driver

    

  • I still think these test are a bit stupid because the weight to power ratio of the bike is so much bigger then the cars'. the bike has more horsepower then it weighs, so if you'd smash like 1600 hp in the ferrari and then some technology so it can handle it, maybe this test would go different. But I prefer bikes none the less cause they cost much less and are more fun to drive :)

  • is that 2012 desmosedici ?

    

  • @ngv4ever the video was posted in 2009 .....LOL

  • To be honest...I am completely happy with my Yamaha's. I don't think I would enjoy owning or riding that bike; to much money to lay down, and to many Italian problems. Beautiful machines though.

  • so both these machines are well over my budget...i think total in my entire life earnings to dater i can put a down payment on the RR

  • 00:25 "this is one of the best road bikes YOU CAN BUY" no. that's one of the best road bikes i can DREAM OF, only rich guys can buy it

  • This isn't an even match up...

  • Dont blame either of them for not caning it round the track.The journo because how would he feel if he had to give the bike back in a box of smashed up bits especialy if theres a possibility that the owner will go all Chuck Norris on him and well if your driving the car behind 40 odd grand of your bike you wouldnt want to risk smashing into it for some silly test. I reckon they just wanted a sunny day in Spain . fair play to them it beats a freezing cold day in the UK ands down

  • @billboy1616 40 odd grand of bike????? i think you better google the price of a new desmosedici.you could probably add anothe $100,000 to your sugested price for that particular bike.

    And yes, i would save the ferrari from being crushed too, but only because it is worth a lot more coin!!

  • @thespd03 Fair enough mate probably didnt notice the final selling price as opposed to projected selling price in pounds sterling but then seeing as even at £40,000 I still couldnt afford it (oh if only ) that may explain it (way out of my league) .Although I didnt mention a choice of saving which much as I like bikes l have to agree I'd save the car too purely because of what its worth :D

  • Full CF fairings? Shit, I'd hate to crash that.

  • @zanuha I was thinking the exact same thing. I'd be crying for sure =P

  • two italians stallions

  • Bikes they are just faster than cars very logical some people don't understand because they have the brains from the size of a fly like people who love jump style and who have ricers.

  • To test if their decision was genuine we should ask them: If two vehicles were about to be crushed and you could only save one, which one would you save?

    Everybody knows these two idiots would have jumped to rescue the Ferrari. Don't lie to yourself.

    

  • @ozekiozeki1 I'd save the Ferrari. BUT only so that I can sell it and get 2-3 Desmos since they're way faster than the Ferrari ;)

  • @ozekiozeki1 if both of them are crushed who do you think would cry more?

  • @ozekiozeki1 if it were my deciscion, I'd save the Ducati... this guy knows that theres alot less RRs than ferraris.

  • @ozekiozeki1 sure, you are right. I save the Ferrari so i can buy another Ducati and a car...

  • @ozekiozeki1 Duh its not a Desmo RR :)

  • @ozekiozeki1 only because of the cost of the bloody thing. if re-sale price was irrelevant I'd save the Desmo all day. You know how many of those things were even made?!

  • You guys are kidding right? Bikes are always faster around the track, when racing at these speeds. Once you approach the formula 1 class, cars start to pull ahead. Don't get me wrong, I love cars. But motorcycles are insanely faster especially considering the weight/power ratio... I ride bikes But i also love cars..

  • @tristantao ??????

    Cars are almost always faster than bikes due to the way better cornering and grip whilst braking. Acceleration is the only part where bikes are superior.

    Pointless comparison though. The MCN rider don´t seem to go faster then I could (and I´m not very good) and the car looked like it was on the way to get icecream for kids.

    / RR rider

  • this is not a VS... i think its called the ducati goes first and ill try to stroll2x im not a professional 4 wheels driver and i wont hit that ducati! hahahaha

  • I test conducted by Motorcycle News. Hmmmmm? Won't be biased, will it?

  • ducati vs ariel atom v8

  • lol put the stig at the wheel and see who wins, the guy ever heard of racing lines? good vid none the less.

  • @aluisious

    Sounds like working out the lingo was hard work for you.

    Glad you got it in the end.

    Also glad you havent got a desmosdicrappie.

    Ps its SCOTTISH slang.

    @hazelljimmys.

    I am the CAPTAIN oh the dale.

    On my old trusty Tiger

  • still a pile of crap

    

  • why did they put the music?!?!?!!?!

  • I also sooked the paint of about 5 desmos on an old 98 r1 coming from tynedrum, pile of crap . . . . .

  • @gordyvfr1200 I think you might have been out the same day as myself i think there was about 5 desmosdicrappies and another 6 other ducatis, all of them were riding like fannys and that was a dry day ; i also seen a big guy on a tiger pass some of them and they couldnt look at him in the corners he was hard on it , i think he comes from around Armadale area and they call him the captain . Does anyone know him ?

  • That wasn't a race, just a bike and a car drive around the track, the car isn't even driven hard.....

  • These bikes are not as good as people may think they are, owners excluded ! They fling lots of dosh at them to impress there own egos and go to trackdays abroad where no one knows them, not one could ride a push bike let alone ride a motor bike and for 201bhp at back wheel my arse ! yes we've come across these big girls and there tans around Tyndrum area and sooked the paint of them all so happy polishing girls from the boys xxx

  • @hazeljimmys I really have no idea what you just said.

  • @aluisious Are you from Alaska ? if you need help just just ask

  • @hazeljimmys My point was your comment didn't make sense. Big girls and tans, paint, polishing girls...??

  • @hazeljimmys And I'm from California, grew up in Canada. We don't speak what appears to be some kind of British slang over here.

  • @aluisious Sorry thought you were local , will try to help you a little, me my mates all ride jap superbikes and we ride them as how they should be, like we stollen them ! so man in the video and his mates all ride like fannys hence the words big girls, and for paint sooking thats when you pass a duc at a speed that that they will only ever have seen on a play station and you will have sucked the paint off the fairing, i'll leave you with the helmet/polish/purple to work

  • @hazeljimmys Ah, well makes sense now.

    I confess I've learned to ride slow on the street after breaking a lot of important bones on a locally infamous stretch of mountain road. But I wouldn't buy a Desmosedici to ride slow either :p

  • @hazeljimmys

    funny you should say that i came across a few of they ducati things on the way home from tyndrum to callander one day. I also "sooked" the paint off them.Canny wait till next summer for more surprises.A lot of cash and power to get humped by a old man without his glasses on.But to the ducati tan boys keep the faith and f*** your track days.Less of the 201bhp at back wheel and lets have 201mph on the speedo.

  • Considering your 848R, stunning.......

  • Your bikes are a credit to you mate, Karl.

  • 2 persons on the car, wtf!? the whole point of the scuderia is to be lighter than the standard 430 and you just add 80kg to it! bullshit

  • We shot this feature over 2 days and had a load of fun. Unfortunately a lot of the video got corrupted, one of these 1 in a million couldn't possibly happen things that did! So we lost about 80% of the footage. Most of the video shown was basically chopped together from bits and pieces. Ce la vie - bike still dusted the car easily. I have some helmet video that was from a cam in Neevseys helmet that's got a bit more substance in it. If I can put my hands on it I'll post it if anyone interested.

  • why would anyone put music under this clip...

  • was this a joke i feel like neither of them were pushing it at all

  • @ScbrN5454 Well I guess they make a couple of laps for pictures and videos and don't really show an entire lap of them pushing it to the limit.

  • u can have a fun slide with the car,and it sounds a lot better

  • @KPKaccountt You can also have fun sliding a bike, but it takes a shitload more skill.

  • Now, I like Ducati's and I like Ferrari's but I can't decide which one's better. There's only one way to find out...... FIGHT!!!!

  • La ferrari ok ma le moto giapponesi sono le meglio

  • vai pagar 270.000.00 mil por outra moto muito loco >

  • hey, here is a fair challenge... pitch that bike against Ariel Atom V8.... and watch the magic of road legal cars with 1000 horse power per ton

  • @AxxeelR8 The Atom would probably win. It's no secret that the closer you get to something like an F1 car, it will spank a bike every time. But really that's not saying a lot, because I can get a bike used for 4k that will destroy any car I see in a typical year.

  • should't the title be: "street legal car on street tires loses to race bike on slicks"

  • @basgetz

    no. the bike is street legal too and it would win anyway.

  • Prodotti italiani!!!!!!!! TANTA ROBAAAAAA!!!

  • Video vớ vẩn

  • didnt really look like either of them were trying

  • dream on baby

  • How about Michael Schumacher drive that Scuderia? Then lets see:)

  • @nieg091 I lol'd

  • Title should be Ferrari 430 Scuderia follows Ducati Desmosedici

  • They already answered this the veyron beat the bike

  • bit of an unfair fight with the slicks, but not obscene (2-5sec/lap). D16RR is awsome, but any 1000 sport is going to do similar (even 600s if the track isnt too open). I reckon he WAS pushing the ferrari, but the camera angles ... the car is always gion to look slow compared to the bike since at the same speed the bike is covering say 10 lengths of itself while the car covers 6 lengths of itself and therefor appears to not be trying.

  • @forestR1 I think that was not the race footage, because even the bike looks going slow for what he can go! ;)

  • nice dick

  • 2:18

    

  • The car guy was grocery shopping!

  • i want to have bpth in my garage!!

  • The car appears to be driven by an old man on a Sunday trip to the shops. Slicks on the bike not on the car, not a fair test really. Bike v Car comparisons are stupid.

  • No mames el Ferrari lo va manejando mi Abuelo!!

  • they should have raced independently of eachother and compared times. i think the outcome would have been much different. obviously the car isnt gunna smash the bike out of its way.

  • Yup the car driver may not have been up to scratch with the bike rider but the car could never have won. Bikes always wins these tests even the ones done by the 5th gear crew.

  • fuckin old man i'm jealous, with just one piece of that fairing i surely can buy a new bike haha

  • best road car you can buy? yeah right!!!

  • Comment removed

  • The Car lost because the driver didn't want to hit the bike .

  • the car can't beat the motorcycle that if the car has space thrusters and machine guns !!!!!

  • @alabala327 It could if Chuck Norris was driving

  • The rider is not a professional either

  • Not a fare race atall... An middle aged fat rich man with a passenger and zero driving skill VS a pro racer... The car could have performed a hell of alot better with a decent driver and minus the passenger...

  • Not exciting at all, the driver in the Ferrari sucks!!!!!

  • @outdoorpooltable Nice comment, let me know when you hit the big 13 and we'll throw a party

  • 256 ferrari's owners

    

  • Hire a professional car driver to go against the professional bike rider ...not the owner of the car who probably never takes a chance

  • That's fine but do you really feel there's a need to offend people with the words dumb, "cint" (I think you ment something else) and badoop? It might make you feel superior trash-talking behind a computer screen but would you use the same words if we met face to face? Probably not so why not be nice instead? It doesn't cost you anything and you might get some good energy come back for a change.

  • they should get real racers to do this epic test..

  • not that I dont like the bike

    but we can get laid in the car but not on the bike right?

    unless you are insane to do that on top of your bike

  • I love to hear brits talk, but my ears bleed when they pronounce Italian names. :)

  • @awksedgreep yeah well my anus bleeds when your dad fucks it

  • Its floats along but its planted...fark me...can it get any worse?

  • Unfrtunately..Rossi and The Stig is on holiday...  :)

  • DUCATI DESMOSEDICI CAN COMPARE YUST BUGATI VEYRON.

    TWO THE BEST MACHINE EVER MAN CREATE........................­.......

  • and someone says that german car are the best...........

  • fuck this stupid music

  • the ferrari was seriously not even going as fast as could it have on the corners? plus what's up with the passenger? obviously its gonna go slower with an extra person in the ferrari

  • one day one day

  • go film birthday parties

  • The Stig should be in the car and The Ghost Rider should be on the bike.

  • car had an awful driver.

  • 203bhp at the rear wheel?

  • Italian do it better

  • @Fonno88 no mate, the RR in the name of the Duc means that it is Road Replica (sometimes Race Replica) which means that Ducati Desmosedici RR is a street legal bike. And no its not the same as Capirossis bike, all RR bikes are styled like track moto GP bikes but are much weaker, heavier and have all the things like lights, RW mirrors, directional lights etc. factory mounted.

    F1 is NOT street legal, F430 Scuderia and Ducati Desmosedici RR are.

  • As usual...made in Italy. :-)

  • @Fonno88 what in "Capirossis machine REPLICA" didnt you understand? BTW the Scuderia is a race car, so what is your point?

  • How would you make a test between a CAR and a BIKE on a Circuit? Its impossible,

    its how to have sex with Carmen Electra and the biggest fat girls of the world on a Yacht!

  • The Desmosedici costs about $60,000...kinda pricey but hell of a great bike. You can buy a kawasaki zx10r or bmw s1000rr, turbocharge or supercharge it for a fraction of the price, and you'd smoke a desmosedici. A 2011 zx10r (us version is restricted) puts about ~163hp at the rear wheel, BMW S1000rr puts about 170-173 hp at the rear wheel. When it comes to city driving, a scooter can beat a ferrari because you can lane split cars! Its all relative my friends!

  • how come I didnt hear either engine being close to the redline??? sounded like if this two guys were just cruising around the track... this video doesnt show the limit of either machine, last time I watch this videos from MCN!

  • They shouldve compared the desmosedici (one of the best bikes ever, if not the best) to a Ferrari 599 gto, that would be even.

  • what a bike!

  • Is it just me? it looked like the Ferrari was crusing??

  • the bake lol

  • the "bake" xD

  • Where's the drivers helmet, (track rules)... and the pud in the passenger seat? Whoever made this vid should be crucified for perverting two works of engineering genius and beauty. Maybe they should go back to producing bad porn with just plain unconvincing sex scenes set to 1970's elevator track musak.

  • Looks staged

    

  • prove inutili !! 

  • Why buy the F430? You could drive that quick in a Miata.

  • There are two people in the car! of course it will have a disadvantage, why go to extremes to lighten the ferrari just to drop a 180lb-ish camera man in it. I am not saying the car would win without the cameraman in the passenger seat, but I would like to see the times without the second person.

  • @onigiriman agreed

    

  • For you US/English guys, the correct accent is "Desmosédici", not "Desmosedìci".

    Trust me, the wrong pronounce sounds really bad!

  • He plainly didn't know the track either , or how to get the best from a supercar, if the helmsman had been a driving god like tiff needell or jason plato or evn a professional performance car journo, like the bike rider then you would have this half arsed affair courtesy of MCN.

    and i know some biker is going to whine on about superior power to weight ratio blah bah!! i think even with a better car driver the bike may still have perhaps won but it would have been hell of a lot closer.

  • thats some weak car driving!! he looked like he was driving to the shops.

    That was in no way a full bore start with launch control not ony was he short shifting at no point was he pushing the grip envelope of that car, even in the tight corners there was not even a peep of tyre squeal! and the back never stepped out once!!, and with a 510 hp rear drive scuderia!! he either temporarily altered the laws of physics or frankly wasnt even near the potential limit of the ferrari.

  • @llucaskelly denial

  • @llucaskelly I agree completely. He made no attempt at coming anywhere close to the limits of the car. At no point was he near redlining the engine or the edge of tire adhesion. This was a waste of time and a smack in the face of motorsports enthusiasts.

  • @llucaskelly

    well said. the guys not even in racing gear.

    no helmet or jump suit

  • @llucaskelly What we saw in the movie was not the real race, only some shots!! Because the motorcycle was also too slow!! ;)

  • keifer sutherland FTW

  • 2 mostri....

  • An F1 car would obliterate any bike on any circuit but bikes are better for racing. F1 cars can't follow close behind other cars because of how it affects the aerodynamics.

    Bikes give you more bang for your buck. You'd have o spend 6 figures to get a car that performs as well as a $10k bike.

  • @sandman1347 In fact you don't even need an F1 to obliterate any bike, MotoGP bikes lap slower than FA GT2 cars.

  • first of all, great machines but lame video and drivers! also, there are much faster cars than ferrari scuderia so this race is not fair... this video is piece of shit ladies and gentleman!

  • i guess no one informed the ferrari driver that it was a race......... :(

  • I know that I could beat that fool in my transit, what a waste of a car to be driven like a bitch!

  • desmosedici means desmo sixteen

  • maybe if the ferrari driver grew a pair and pushed the pedal on the right he wuda been a lot closer...

  • che idioti!!!!

    il prossimo confronto fatelo con la vespa 50 e la fiat 500

  • Fuck the ads before videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The best road bike in the world is the S1000RR and The Fireblade, not the Desmosedici.

    And take a Lamborghini next time...

  • @ExtremeDeathman no the best isn't the S1000RR that is just the bike with the most HP and the Fireblade isn't anything special either , it would have to go to the Aprillia RSV4 factory APRC or the new 201hp MV Agusta F4rr the Italians will always lead in the motor world.

  • @goonballer

    Wrong, the S1000RR beat the Aprilia on the track and on the road, tested in several magazines here in Europe.

  • @ExtremeDeathman /watch?v=l4SFCokwH2M&feature=r­elmfu

    Aprilia beats the BMW S1000rr around the track.....

  • @goonballer actually this desmo got more power than bmw. Its got over 200 hp at the rear wheel on this desmosecidi. If you notice with mcn, they rarely ever put a ducati in a test with full exhaust systems, but I think this one has been slightly tuned. Power is nothing unless someone can use it. I think Ducati need to sort out their gp bike for poor Rossi.

  • @goonballer agree with you on the rsv4. But the mv has never been spot on.

  • @goonballer why does no one care about Bimota...............I think they are a great looking bike...

  • @goonballer

    Noway..

    Ducati is awesome the only thing sucks is you gotta do every 10'000 kms a maintenance

  • @goonballer lol, ya right. xD

  • Being wealthy doesn't make you a professional driver.

  • i think its not even close to fair.take a pagani zonda R with the stig driving and then compare it with the bike in the circuit and the bike's time would be very close with the car's time and ferrari f430 scuderia is not even close to the supersport category.supersport conains corvette zr1s ford gts murthielagos and carrera 918 spyders. I HATE BIKES BECAUSE THEY ARENT SO INTRESTING AS CARS AND THATS MY OPINION AND SHUT UP SAYING THE BIKE IS BETTER OF COURSE RICH NOOOOOOOOOOBS

  • i think its not even close to fair.take a pagani zonda R with the stig driving and then compare it with the bike in the circuit and the bike's time would be very close with the car's time and ferrari f430 scuderia is not even close to the supersport category.supersport conains corvette zr1s ford gts murthielagos and carrera 918 spyders.

  • @NjegosG yes but take the f1 2011 and now it's a race that we want to see they made a race between a race bike and a road car -.-

  • The dude in that F430 Scuderia should buy a Lada coz he is afraid of that ferrari...what a stupid video...I bet the Ferrari rapes the bike on a circuit

  • erm... it all about driver and track... both vehicle are same level...

  • quello che guida la ferrari è un demente,ma che skifezza è?a chi la danno in mano la ferrari?

  • qst video fa cagare!e il pilota della ferrari anche! ma sono modi di guidare una ferrari??? sembra piu la passeggiata della domenica!

  • Italian monsters :))) ITALY for life

  • Unless there is way more corners then streight aways, the bike will always win, with a trained rider. 200+Hp and 400ish LBS compaired to 500+HP and 3000lbs for the car.

  • that was shockingly bias.... the car wasn't even trying i know the bike would probably still win... but that was pathetic, dont think i heard the engine go past 6000rpm

  • @comancheflyer160 : Buddy, In one of the frames, the 430 was kissing 8K rpm. Well, still the performance is pathetic by the driver.

  • FUCK THE MORMANS!!!

  • As if a video made by MCN would let the Ferrari win. Obviously rigged in favour of the bike.

  • bike did 1m47... definitely could have done much much better. biker was not going near as fast as he could. thumbs up to NjegosG. that race would be sick!!!

  • fair bit of kit for desmo :P

  • i wanna know how much that damn bike is!and that 430 looks exactly like an ITALIA

  • @2wheelfamily I'm pretty sure it's roughly $100000 Australian. Check Bikepoint for prices, I've seen a few on there

  • @drpeppington hell.i'll check there but im in the u.s so..but thanks dude
