  • RSV4 rules!!

  • did he say willie control instead of wheelie control

  • Just Aprilia rules!

  • Fuck the jap bikes? I smoke ducati 1098s on my zx10r! And i payed half as much if i put the remainder of that $ into my bike itd be untouchable! Look at street tests of zx10r vs s1kr and see who dominates!

  • @Margalus89 Absolutely right mate, I'm Belgian and I feel the same way about ducati designs. Although looks arn't everything... ;) but Ducati and MV Agusta will always be something more then "just" a motorcycles. Fuck the jap-bikes! :P

  • @Cobryn205bws idiot

  • ducati and agusta are most beautiful. its because they are italian.

  • i am italian so i may not be too correct but still..Ducatis are the best looking bikes EVER, the 916/996/998 still looks awesome after more than 10 years while 2002 japanese bikes lookd terrible, i mean they're good but "old-school" ..Ducatis are classics, like pieces of art

  • No Aprilia won because that what Aprilia does not table cloth tricks.

  • aprillia won because it is your favorite bike wtf!

  • @MrTanaphat yeah these guys are biased retards. Watch their harley vs honda shadow video. That state that the shadow is a superior bike, but because the harley sounds better and its a harley the harley won. These guys are worth the air they use

  • @MrTanaphat Um that's the only thing that matters, favorite=best. Would you buy a bike that isn't your favorite? There is no logic in your post it hurts my brain.

  • fuck Aprillia

    

  • ever since they came out, they havent showed nothing on the track and still dont.. even with pro wsbk riders but cant seem to keep up lol sorry but better luck next time but with the 1199 coming out they are already behind...

  • sorry but this guy CANT give information on..please stop

  • yeah, thats not 720P

  • all of them sound like freaking jets

  • WHEELIE CONTROL. NICE. NOW I WON'T MESS UP POPPING A WHEELIE :D

  • bah , no very fast tester.

  • doesnt the ducati look beautiful?!

  • @HawkGoingEC665 Just rode next to someone with that same Ducati today but in white and man was it beautiful. :) nearly made me cry as it drove away

  • Comment removed

  • willie control! roflmao!

  • aprillia ftw

  • I want this video on my KF310 unit.

  • is it just me or does it look like theyre not really pushing these bikes round corners only on the straights??

  • MCN, please let Michael do the talking/presenting. Trevor really fumbled his way through this which was rather painful to watch.

  • i don't think anyone cares the mv came in 4th you all still want it

  • I like MCN but fuck, their videos seem to be shot and edited by a 15 year old kid for a school project. Loud music, wind noise, to many corny transitions, and often mistakes that are very apparent. Shame, great info in the videos but all that brings it down.

  • Bullshit...BMW has not destroyed the competition. Actually they have lots more problem they anticipated!!! I know 3 guys who have blown their engines...also, they have major problems with revets on the plastic....BTW....the BMW won fuckall in 2011....nuff said.

  • BMW should have been first.

  • The Ducati sounds like a jet in that first right hander.

  • You cant go wrong with any of these amazing bikes!

  • @AndroidJdm True, it's not all about speed :)

  • love the rc8r colours

  • That Aprilia sounds absolutely like an enormous shitstorm on a warm summer evening ^^ I love it!

    However, the L-Twin sound on the Ducati is still the best imo ^^

  • ktm is very sexy, best bike imo

  • @wartree yeah that bike is HOT!

  • Trevor please let Michael do the talking in these videos he's far far better at it. In fact, just stay behind the camera....

  • Comment removed

  • Yes....but will it blend?!

  • @crazyboy8875 So are you saying that they dont compete with each other in European markets?

  • @crazyboy8875 yeah read the title again! Got it?

    lol

  • @realbushdoctor if you talk down on me you can suck something hard,LOL if you got something to say on the topic go ahead LOL,if not continue the good work LOL.

  • @crazyboy8875 bridge on junk

  • @crazyboy8875 The other bikes are still 'European rivals' so the title is ok.

  • I need "willie control" just looking at these bikes.

  • @VL4TV Ok...come clean the coke off of my monitor...this is all your fault.

  • at 06.22 says: But the Aprillia is my favourite here. Paid to love it!!!! But is ok, its not your fault MCN, i can understand because theres director of Aprillia is just behind the camera man.

  • lmao first place for an aprillia on top of beemer? u must be kidding rite..there must be signboards all round saying: "Riders please remember to slow down a bit! I want Aprillia to be first place. After announcing the end results. Please say all bikes are good as not to offend any other companies and bike fans. Thank You." (End of Review) Director of Aprillia says: Cut! VERY GOOD!!..xD trolololololo

  • paund paund, talk in euro

  • Ummmm... Isn't BMW German?

  • Pretty boring comparison. I think some teenagers could have put together a better review. Maybe this guy is bored with his job and doesn't appreciate it. Zzzz ☺

  • This video went viral on Kigali

  • whats funny is that i can afford all of these bikes right now but i choose to stick with my kawasaki zzr 1400 (zx14) the beast

  • @lazynature1 That's because you love "torque talk"

    (I know how you feel, since I ride a Hyabusa)

  • Comment removed

  • I wonder how the 2012 s1 or rsv4 would compare to the 1199 pani. BATTLE OF THE TITANS!!!

  • @hardviper10 thats the plan, RSV4 in the garage now,, hope 1199 soon

  • @hardviper10 Me too. But I'm a wee bit worried about the MotoGP inspired chasis on the Panigale =S It hasn't exactly been performing at its best in the MotoGP.

    But it's absolutely stunning and 190bhp alledgedly. A mountain of torque and all the fancy bits on the S Tricolore. I can't wait! =D

  • idc what they say BMW ftw!

  • "Willy control."  ...I don't need that, but thanks.

  • Tough choice. Great review but didn't help me in the slightest, lol. No criticism, I've just got too many options. There isn't one of these bikes that is not on my radar for next season. Then there are the Japanese...

  • That rsv4 is a bad ass scooter...now how can i convince wifey that I should have one?? lol

  • dude 6:47 look at the track man! holyshit Afghanistan's streets looks better than this! this should be a rally track! ;)

  • bmw has such a sexy body and lines but those lines but the headlights ggaaaahhh, but its sweet and id just buy a carbon front race fairing with no lights and just use a torch light.

  • what zee fuckk European bikes cost so much more apart form the BMW

  • Hi,

    I do have new 2012 bmw and there is only one think i can say about that bike, its fucking 2 wheel perfection.

    I know there is a lot of ducati fans here as well as aprillia. I also was a italian bikes fan. lool but my god the new beemer is a space shutle for them both.

    I was driving aprilia rsv4 factry for last three years, i wrecked it these summer on the track in slovenia, and decided to buy a new bmw. Now im living my dream xD

  • @tose023 I wanted the Beemer to start but the dealer wouldn't budge on price, so I bought the RSV4R, I really like it for the engine, very snappy, how did you like it compared t the new BMW?

  • isto sim são motos de qualidade. hehehhehe

  • MOVE AWAY FROM THE MIC. I don't want to hear your sticky saliva every time you lick your lips or swallow. Gross.

  • @NeoTranshuman i agree

  • looks? well if you refer as over 300 wsbk race wins and 17 manufacterers title as something that looks good, i agree with you

  • I think carlos checka could show other results. A change of tyres might not suit some fikes and need fiddling with. You can make any bike better with adjustments. There really isnt much in any of them. I got an 1198s and happy with it. I've rode the bmw and found it needs too many revs for road riding to get decent power.I'm lazy with gears.

  • It would be very interesting to see a 1000cc Triumph Daytona.

  • @melamalefica ktm is Austrian

  • @melamalefica u mean chinese and japenese?

  • 0:33 willie control?!?!??!?!?

  • I love the ducati, bmw sure is the fastest, but i don't love the looks and thats what ducati has (LOOKS)!

  • @manoftim looks? well if you refer over 300wsbk race wins and 17 manufacturers title as something that looks good I agree with you

  • WILLIE control???

  • @macgibbon When you come out of a corner and go WOT, the bike suppresses the throttle to prevent too much wheelie, giving you the most acceleration. (equipped on RSV)

  • Those that haven't ridden the Aprilia don't have a clue. The chassis is awesome and the midrange power of that motor is simply unbelievable. Look for yourself in this video, the rider on the Aprilia could out-accelerate the S1000RR at will at track speeds - at 250+ the S1000RR will take it but it isn't by much. Dyno plots are for jerkoffs, the bike is the real deal. Having ridden one I am stunned at how planted the Ape is and how strong its brakes are... it's a race bike for the road.

  • @melamalefica what about the ktm?

  • god damn the KTM looks sick

  • The Aprilia won because they're about winning, not about telling everyone else how much they win.

  • exhaust noise/addiction

  • the best looking one has to be the KTM RC8R!!

  • Holy shit those are some ugly fucking headlights on the S1000RR.

  • My garage WILL include all these bikes

  • really nice bike from them as well

  • arkhipone.narod2.ru bmw 6 фото

  • 3:25 I just saved you having to listen to boring bits you already know. Your welcome :)

  • Y LA BMW QUE ES? COREANA? VAYA TITULO DEL REPORTAJE

  • fuck jap shits...

  • Ducati the best :D !!!

  • @melamalefica

    KTM is from Austria

  • BMW is from EUROPE!

  • @melamalefica KTM is German just like BMW

  • @CAJFB

    i'm pretty sure KTM is Austrian

  • @BETNCORT You're right. KTM stands for "Kronreif, Trunkenpolz, Mattighofen". The founders and the location of the company. Mattighofen is in the north-west of Austria.

  • @klitcrew

    thanks, he even states that its austrian in the video.

    really nice bike from them as well

  • @CAJFB ......KTM is from AUSTRIA... Germany and Austria are 2 different countries even though they are right beside eachother they are not the same , same language but not the same country

  • @chingchingR6 excuse my incorrectness .

  • i can't believe I'm saying this. but i think the bmw is better than the ducati

  • @melamalefica ktm is austrian

  • sometimes british use of the word european is really stupid !! 1) OK britain is not europe I get it OK but all makes presented in this video are European lol

  • lol I know this test is bs because there is no way the ktm would beat the mv agusta

  • @melamalefica and japanese

  • If the BMW would have finished first over all those bikes, these guys wouldn't have left Sicily alive :P

  • Comment removed

  • I'd like to see this the BMW vs New MV Agusta F4RR.

  • where is the ducati 1098r it smoking all the bikes?

  • traction control???? launch control???? WHEELIE CONTROL????!!!!

    are u fcking kidding me????

    those are not bikes anymore....

    you shouldnt have those things on bikes thats just wrong

    and you wont be needing any skill at all to ride these things fast in the future...

    as for every little shitty thing theyre will be a CONTROL or something

    i ride a 99'' Yzf-R6 without ANY of that shit and im proud of it! ;)

  • @Nelis1992 You can turn it all off if you want,plus when riding with all the gizmo's on you don't even know they are working!! Don't knock it until you've had ago!! Ive got the s1000rr and ive been riding bikes for over 20 years,and it without a doubt the Bmw is the best thing ive ridden!!

  • @BeansOnGhost

    fair enough...

    but its still just wrong to put all that on a bike

    a bike should be clean of extra electronic and should just be basic in my opinion

    if you NEED all of that luxery, you shouldnt ride a bike and get a big car :)

    im just afraid that in the future, the bike rides you instead and you dont need any skill to ride at all

  • @Nelis1992 I don't think it's 'Wrong' These electronics are there for a reason,ABS helps no end in the breaking department,look what it did for cars??,this will stop faster and quicker than any other non ABS bike on the road and safer! Also the DTC was great for me this weekend as i got caught in a massive rain down pour! And was really thankful i had that.Really does bring out more confident in the rider which i think is a good thing.But like i said TURN IT OFF AND PUT HER IN SLICK MODE ;')

  • @BeansOnGhost You forgot the new MV Agusta F4RR. I rode both, and trust me, the MV is better.

  • @luigibattista10 Maybe,but i liked the Bmw better,i wouldn't of got the MV anyway.Even if it was a better bike,the Bmw ticks all the boxes for me ;')

  • @BeansOnGhost Ok.. I understand.. Plus, the MV is more expensive.. Cheers! :)

  • @luigibattista10 Not sure price of the MV but my BMW SP carbon edition cost me £15.500,even if the BMW was more money than the MV i still would of got the BMW ;') Cost didn't cross my mind anyway.

  • @BeansOnGhost I understand but trust me, even if the MV was twice the price, it would be worth each euro. I know you love BMW's but if you have the chance to go to an MV dealer and test the new F4RR, please do it. You will not regret it. :)

  • What kind of idiot really thinks an R6 would stand a snowball's chance in hell of besting one of these reviewed liter bikes?

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sorry but an R6 will not beat any of these bikes unless its on a .5mile track thats just ignorant. I like the R6 a lot but i would not beat these bikes on 90% of the tracks in the world.

  • 08 zx10,,,sold,,,,08 Cbr 1000rr. Sold,,,,just purchased 2010 aprilia RSV4R. Loving it. Great rides all around. I love the looks of the F4.

  • Comment removed

  • oh ALL AWESOME BIKES

  • this is a stupid test. how much back handers did Aprilla pay to these idiots?

  • @MrYoyoburger your stupid. aprilia are now the most successful motorcycle manufacturer in racing as of august 2010 overtaking MV. Ducati tried to buy out aprilia because of their success in supermoto. best power to weight ratio of all the bikes unless they didnt use the 1198. bmw should have won really

  • @ewann3

    now why does it alway get personal - you twat! im aware how successful Aprilla is doing you fuck brain.

    you can run the same bike on a track and you will get different lap times on every lap.

    all im saying a test like this is not definitive you moron. like a previous contributor said, put a R6 on this track and it will probably beat the lot of them

  • That's hella stupid, why did they switch up the riders riding the bikes, the riders weight different and have different arrow dynamics so the test is insignificant!

  • @Pilotak47

    I agree mate.

    Also the vid is waste of time as MV have the new MV F4RR 2012 which will eat BMW S1000RR for breakfast !!

  • @stevesvids I just rode the new F4RR, it's a fucking comet.

  • @luigibattista10

    Glad u said that

    I just ordered one !!! Yehaaaaaaaaaaaa!! so cant wait !!!

    Love the feel of the bike, seat position, tank width, everything. Red and White !!!

  • @stevesvids I envy you. ;)

    Cheers.

  • @luigibattista10

    Dont envy me !!! I just smashed up my S1000RR ...lost it on Stowe Corner, SIlverstone Circuit at 120mph !! :-(

  • @stevesvids I hope nothing serious happened to you my friend. =I

  • @luigibattista10

    Thanks...................I am remarkably unscathed after sliding and tumbling several hundred yards. Ask Niall Mackenzie......as he was behind me observing my lines !!! Bit sore but fine !! Bike.................not pretty. !! ££££££££££££££ Thats where it really hurts............in the wallet !!!!!!

  • @stevesvids Yes.. But, as you already know, it's better to deal with a mechanic than a surgeon. That's what I say to myself when I have an accident and look at my bike and feel sorry for her. Nice bikes are like pretty women, expensive and dangerous. Getting used to it is not optional. I smashed up my R1 2 years ago, a friend was behind me and hit my rear tire on a curve. Broke my arm and leg and the bike, total loss. Now I just made a reservation for a GSX.1000. Take care and greetings. :)

  • @Pilotak47

    Do you mean aerodynamics? :)

  • @Pilotak47 aerodynamics* lol

  • @Pilotak47 well, as they stated, they had a test-driver do the lap times for them because he knew the track... the MCN guys just tested the bikes for their usability, feel, handling and capability.

  • @Pilotak47 they didnt dude, the same pilot tested them

  • @Pilotak47 arrow dynamics?

  • @Jayhawkk Should be aerodynamics.

  • @Jayhawkk you win

  • @melamalefica true it basically was bmw and ktm vs italy.

  • @melamalefica ktm is austrian

  • I think the Aprilia is amazing, but at 1,76 cm's it still feels so compact and small =S It fits me, but barely. I feel more at home on my Ducati 848.

  • there was no big differences between these bikes because they were raced against the clock and that doesnt prove a shit cause when it comes to race you win races by good you drive!!

    and even though the bmw showed 193hp on the dyno its only 0.26seconds faster than the 150hp ducati!!

  • BMW S1000RR is still our favourit ... can't belive that the Aprilia should be faster ;)

  • @melamalefica ktm is an austrian bike

  • Haha yea they were biased, lol did u see the guy almost jizzed in his pants when he was talking about the aprilia, I think all these bikes are amazing but ive been on all of them and the only real uncomfortable one was the KTM

  • Sounds like the MCN staff was biased towards the Aprillia long before they threw a leg over any of the bikes. Even the comments about the Aprillia at the end "The Aprillia is my Favorite". Also who's #'s were they basing their scoring on? Put one rider the bike that rides professionally not some has beens at a paper.

  • ducati is good looking and good on the track but horrible ride. plus i like wheelies yeah i can do em with just the power alone. but theres nothin like hearin that clutch up

  • @alpinestargt - i'm sorry your experience with a Duc wasn't the best. I too can wheelie my bike with nothing but power on a basic 848. Hell give me a kawasaki 250 and i'll wheelie that sucker for miles! lol

  • Let the World Superbike do the talking - Carlos Checa winning every bike on the global market with his 1098 DUCATI! DUCATI IS BEST!

  • @canyonbyker That's right - the bike you ride out of the dealership is exactly the same as the bike in WSBK - NOT.

  • @dexndi - NO EXCUSES DEX! ALL THE OTHER BIKES ARE BEEFED AS SHIT AS WELL! And Since you're talking riding out of the dealer, then lets talk Desmosedici!! lol Or wait, the 1198 R? They compared a "RR" to a basic 1198? EFF that! Bring out the 1198 R at the very least!

  • lop doesn't mean nothing, put them on a straight line)

    the reason why lap doesn't mean nothing is because r6 can beat all of them doing laps, so do a straight line guys)

  • i like the S1000RR

  • YE this video stinks, i bet u know why too.

  • I'm going to hold out an see what Honda's RVF1000R has to offer before I buy either of the two top bikes "BMW , aprillia " . I love my CBR 1000rr and wanted to upgrade to BMW. I think rsv4 is a bit small for my 6"2 225 lb frame. Though great bikes indeed. Keep up the great videos mcn

  • This is why I love motorcycles! You can buy a top of the line bike for around 15-20K BRAND NEW! You couldn't buy a POS honda for that, let alone a mid-level sports car that would be appealing. Not to mention bikes will always be faster, and more fun to ride, than a car will ever be (with a few exceptions in regards to fun).

  • i am in love with the aprilia and bmw

  • what does the Launch Control do on the RSV 4 exactly?

  • @MrFlyahh, I'm speculating here, but I believe you just pin the throttle, dump the clutch and the computer minimises wheel spin and attempts to give you the perfect launch.

  • @kingcrumpet i was thinking something similar. thanks i appreciate the answer

  • @MrFlyahh takes you to orbit :)
