2011 Aprilia RSV4 APRC vs Nissan GT-R - Touge battle on Mulholland HWY ReplayXD1080

[genrevo]

Nice everyone!

[ChristinaKelbert1]

I like your gloves :p

[Thijsjah109]

Hey Adey, you're wearing a Dainese suit right? Ever thought about doing a short video of your riding gear you wear/use? Love your videos btw, keep up the good work and ride safe!

[jessehaley615]

This is a very "material" video. =p

[NOFADCHX]

Fantastic job!! Some serious shit.

Love it.

[reverb478]

Awesome video. Awesome Bike. I can't wait to get my hands on an RSV4. Soon. Very soon.

[ohnniehickm24j]

Your video went viral on Lima

[Chipmunk942]

That GTR sounds like chimpanzee fart....

[yourleftnut1]

awesome.. why didn't you mount the camcorder on the tank so we can see the GTR better?..

[Adeysworld]

@yourleftnut1 If you look past the tip of your nose, you'll find in the description what you seek.

[GIXXERSIXXER1]

@yourleftnut1 I wish I could hear more of that RSV4, But the Skyline sounds like a MOTHERFUCKER!!!

[nabilparodies]

damn I like the intro.

[SilviuKP1]

i like it, good riding, but you could try to cover your front brake with one or two fingers so when you're braking to enter a corner you can also blip the throttle to revmach while you're downshifting. More videos, faster, ride safe :D

[S01NOR]

awesome, but seems like you ride pretty dangerous, I mean far over to oncoming line, specially in lefthand corners, I shall not be so negative because it may be that you saw through the corners, but we didn't because of the camera angle, stay safe!

[1956Simbo]

Excellent riding , very very nice video, pity about the mounting place on the Aprilia. well done !!!

[COD4SNIPER2]

what happend at 5:51? I dont think that has happened to me yet.

[Adeysworld]

@COD4SNIPER2 That's what happens when you change direction with the front wheel raising off the ground.

[britishbikes12]

@COD4SNIPER2 Looks like he just caught a little air under the front wheel coming out of a turn and then set it down a little crossed up. It is pretty common if you push a bike hard at all.

[RinzlersWorld]

Whats up Adey, I am Johnny5's lil bro. I noticed at 3:04 when you take Pauls turn it looks like you get into a nice controlled slide, looks cool. Great riding!

[Adeysworld]

@RinzlersWorld Aye what's up! Thanks for the props;)

[mrmidnight32]

F the bikes lets see that GTR!

[Adeysworld]

@mrmidnight32 F you...look at the on-board cam video.

[mrmidnight32]

@Adeysworld I found that as soon as I posted this hahaha sick bikes but its a GTR bro... BEAST!

[AlmightyGTR]

@Adeysworld He never swore at you, so just relax. As a side note, the GTR driver really sucked. I did not see even a single apex acceleration.

[Adeysworld]

@AlmightyGTR I'm quite relaxed hence no exclamation point. Plus I was being sarcastic...which always gets lost in translation thru text. I just don't care to explain afterwards. This is the only time since we are having dialog for the first time.

Have you been on this road before? I can tell the GTR driver does not suck. Any faster and he would have been all over the road. He did a good job negotiating our pace within his lane. If you can do better...I'd like to see the video. Cheers

[AlmightyGTR]

@Adeysworld The GTR driver was driving it like I would, if it was a muscle car, which has a heavy front and a lot of oversteer, due to suspension and weight balance issues. I do understand the safety concern, but he did not push it to the limit at all. He was braking a little early, he was off the throttle till he would see a straight line. So he was losing time on the turns, which is exactly what GTR is built for. He needs to use GTR's strength. A bike would destroy a GTR if he doesn't do that.

[tradervic]

@AlmightyGTR Genius, this was an open road. The car can't be pushed to the limit without endangering lives. There is zero room for error not to mention you gotta be on the lookout for jackasses probably like yourself that cross yellow or someone that just happens to lose control and is in your lane. If you have a GT-R outside of the Gran Turismo video game, get in touch with me and I'll be happy to school your ass. But you don't. So you won't. So until then, how about a nice warm cup of STFU?

[AlmightyGTR]

@tradervic So, the car wasn't pushed to the "limit", but the title says, "Battle". So, please describe any battle which did not have the limits pushed. If it was a cruise, then call it a cruise. Don't give it funny names for higher hits. Stay true to what you say. Don't be a bitch and try to smart talk. If you have any skills, show up at Autobahn country club Joliet. I am there every single weekend till november. Just look for a white 2012 black edition. I am sick of these keyboard heroes.

[EugeneF15]

Not much braking needed there, must have been fun. I like the throttle cam. The riding style reminds me of Ben Spies.

[grove005]

now thats how you ride a bike!



[StaceyC1995]

Getting Some Good Lean !

[Contempt805]

Smh, if this was a video of two cars chasing eachother all the riders would be bitching and crying about how the two drivers of the cars are putting everyone at risk, but since theres a motorcycle in this video its ok? Its "cool"? Pfft!

[Adeysworld]

I uploaded on-board cam from Aprilia. See description above for link.

[CyricD]

God I love the disclaimer at the beginning...

[BKingAndy]

not that bad :D

[123MIURA]

Cool, but part from 3:30 shows almost nothing, but your hand.

I'm not being a smartass, I'm just saying it would be better with camera fixed at the higher point.

[Adeysworld]

@123MIURA I uploaded a new angle from same run with camera positioned under the nose of bike.

[rivierenlandmedia]

Nice vid and nice road.

Apart from the tarmac it could almost have been Italy ;)

[Serckep]

NICE!

[peggysuebadgerlongji]

i thought that was cbr600 hehe



[varulalin]

how's the italian  compared with your R1 in regards to power, feeling, fun..?

[Adeysworld]

@varulalin My R1 is stronger because of tuning. So I can't make clear comparison. But I will say the Apriliia is a beast in "T" mode. I'd like to ride one tuned like mine;)

Feeling is different because of size and chassis. RSV4 is super narrrow with shorter wheelbase. It's extremely nimble, but has to be ridden hard to get good feeling from it. It's a pure race bike plain and simple. Stock to stock..I choose RSV4.

[mugget]

Nice - seemed all calm and serene in the view from the GTR. Nothing like an onboard view from a motorcycle to see the real speed! :O

[Adeysworld]

@mugget You should see the new angle I just uploaded from the nose of bike. Puts a smile on my face...

[r1636]

p800????

[jkddaddy]

nice riding, bro. From the lead car camera, it seems faster than on the bike. Maybe it's the low RPM sound, but toward the end I did notice that you could see the first digit in the speedometer. Was that set for MPH or KPH?

[Adeysworld]

@jkddaddy MPH. All my vids are MPH.

[woodpecka39]

@ksizzle199 I was using 3500 as a reference mark. A 3.8L V6 should sound lounder and scream more than that, atleast motor noise.

[deweyhater]

lol at skid marks at 3:10

[MrErock5353]

wow......that is sikk!

[MrErock5353]

wow

[woodpecka39]

What the hell is up with the GTR. I would wind the gears out not shift at 3500 haha

[ksizzle199]

@woodpecka39 He's not at 3500 ROFL. This is a production car, the exhaust is not going to be insanely loud when he's at high rpm's bro.

[Lloydo46]

Nice rossi gloves btw

[Lloydo46]

Awesome footage buddy, really enjoyed watching. Thanks

[GeneralCracka]

wow that is incredibly fast

[TSR5000]

Adey, how did the suspension feel for you? From the video it looks like the bike was really moving around underneath you, maybe just set too soft for your weight (being a tall guy and all).

[Adeysworld]

@TSR5000 The suspension was fine. The problem was that it was lowered in the front making it want to tuck everywhere. I'd like to ride it again setup properly.

The chassis is much stiffer than the R1. Making it less forgiving on uneven surfaces. Like a race bike, this bike doesn't make sense until you push it to the limit. Sucks because it's not a road friendly bike. Track monster for sure.

[Desmodromic916]

White 640Lc4 at the end, heh

[dracoluver455]

hahah I was driving behind this same car on the freeway yesterday, wish it was on the snake instead...

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

The Snake is SUPER tight road, if you're driving a boosted car and boost starts at 3k... you probably won't be seeing it much.

[BikerDarren24]

This is everything I want from a video, great bikes, great cars, great camera angles and skilled riding :)

For that my friend I can only give you a like and a thumbs up!!! :P

[tejhustla]

nice riding bro, the 2 parts i liked the most in the video is @ 2:32 and 5:50. skilled rider x]

[Adeysworld]

@tejhustla LOL yeh got a little lift during transition trying to match the acceleration of the GTR. Those are the moments I live for;)

[dbsshadow]

too pro



[RandySpengler]

I would love to see you riding over the Nurburgring Nordschleife... I even would pay the ticket for one lap ;)

[frostythefromann]

What a beautiful video

[137bandit]

Jesus I wish we had roads like that out here. I've already got good at riding the roads here. I need some new ones. Props man, happy riding!

[almst1]

Man, you were keeping up to the gtr easily. The tach showed your max rpm was like 7-8k, isn't that when the bike's power band starts ;)

[Adeysworld]

@almst1 It's a tight road, so you'll never see the tach anywhere near redline. But yes, the RSV4 has tons of torque. AND I was riding in the softer riding mode "S".

[lampingromeo]

That Aprilia is sooo hawt!

[SickStreetMentality]

@Adeysworld did you sell your R1 ? 

[Adeysworld]

@SickStreetMentality I didn't sell my R1. This bike was lent out to me for the weekend.

[SickStreetMentality]

@Adeysworld

i think the difference is pretty big, isn't it :) ?

[Kodiak31415]

How tall are you? Either you're a 6+ footer or that's a tiny bike you're on.

[Adeysworld]

@Kodiak31415 Hah yeh I'm 6'3". Any bike will look tiny under me. But the R1 suits me more than any other bike out. 

[worldofmotorcycles]

@Adeysworld That would be true of sport bikes but try some of the nakeds. The Aprilia Tuono v4 is the upright naked version of this bike and the BMW k1300r is a beast.

Test out the BMW k1300r. I'd like to see one of those on Mulholland.

watch?v=fA_BLJyy5Ks

[Skeeterman42087]

I noticed the rnickeymouse video area

[Adeysworld]

Part II of me leading failed upon upload this morning. I'll repost when I get home latah tonight. Cheers all...

[elgroomez]

Everytime Adey uploads a new vid, my heart skips a beat. Keep em coming man!

[Kyu1LL]

let me know if you want a GTR chase cam car next time ;)

[Adeysworld]

@Kyu1LL That vid will be up tonight. Thanks for the offer tho!

[Kyu1LL]

@Adeysworld np... nice riding... hope to see you one day when I finally get a chance to go to the Rock Store

[ErKa44]

Great footage and nice driving, both on the bike and in the car.

Good lines, no cutting the corners, really fun to watch!

[Adeysworld]

Unfortunately I didn't know how to put the bike in "T" mode until the following day. So this race was done with the bike in "S" mode, which made the engine feel soft and neutered. "T" mode REALLY changed my impression of the bike the following day. Lets just say I really got to see how those brembos worked. The torque is unbelievable, and the engine note with the stock exhaust was electrifying. All it needs is a smoother map in "T" mode. Top notch motor...

[TripleRider88]

damn nice vid, great driving and riding

[Pwnz0rh3nk]

Awesomme

[soap0688]

Like others here and I'm sure on the board, did you get the Ape? I, too, would like to know how it compares to your modded R1 (since mine has some similar mods now). They have similar weight and power from most spec sheets I see, but perhaps I'm mistaken :). Obviously the Aprilia is skinnier.

[Adeysworld]

@soap0688 Can't really compare the two since mine is modded. My bike in it's current state makes the Aprilia RSV4 feel not so special. But stock to stock, I'd say the RSV4 is better package out the crate.

[soap0688]

@Adeysworld Let's hope so stock to stock given the price gap ;)

Thanks!

[Adeysworld]

@soap0688 The price gap is considerably small if you factor in what you get Traction Control,Wheelie Control, Launch Control, and Brembo brakes for only 3-4k more. Plus the italian craftsmanship...this thing is a beaute.

[johannescourtens]

Damn, nice riding. To bad your hardly using the potential of that bike.. I guess it is on the street..

[steezylemon]

@johannescourtens

plus he had to stay behind the car for filming purposes

[funkybeat0]

Wow!..awesome vid!.....nice bike and nice car! How does the RSV4 compare to the R1 bro?

[LifeIsJustARide85]

Whats the "cracle" sound on the bike cam?

[PaulMEdwards]

@LifeIsJustARide85 It's most likely the camera jiggling around on the mount. Happens on my VholdR & ContourHD cameras, too.

[Olexin]

@LifeIsJustARide85 vibration from the camera mount!

[k0pix]

what happend to your R1 ?

[Adeysworld]

@k0pix Nothing, it's in my garage sleeping. The Aprilia was lent out to me.

[MrGlennKTM]

second cam position wasn't that great

[rayzen998]

top notch vid

[TheBayus]

nice vid, nice ride!
