Ducati 796 Hypermotard vs Aprilia Dorsoduro Factory

[XFoolXProofX]

Damn that white Duc is sick looking. i got the all flat black which is my 2nd fav but man that white......

[vulture12]

I like more poonch :)

[simeli94]

Honda still the best

[din0138]

Ducati still the best:)

[HallawJerry]

subarashi ... someday i will own this ride ... amen !

[chrisjamster]

ha ha ducati better in town and at 1:29 he knocks the mirror lol

[89Design]

i hope mirrors are cheap on the ducati! 1:30 =)

[ditchyudhaaz]

why is the ducati still air cooled? i mean, its 800cc bike, wouldnt there be risks of overheating?

[MrLucasROG]

@ditchyudhaaz the speed of the flow of air through the bike is the required 10 times more than the average speed of flow of a liquid cooling system if travelling at speeds of about 40 mph and over... and the liquid cooling (water with antifreeze etc) weighs a lot. I think I read somewhere that Ducati uses air and liquid on the 1198 but that the hypermotard also has a lot more engine surface area exposed needed for air :) still not sure haha my science prof told me this, hes a big ducati fan

[ditchyudhaaz]

@MrLucasROG i'm a big fan too! haha, i read the specification on the net, it said that it is air-cooled, but i see a lot hypermotard using an oil-cooler! hahaha weird :p

[MrLucasROG]

@ditchyudhaaz which is weird but guess u dont have to add antifreeze and stuff to oil :) only ever tested ducatis but in south africa they are overpriced to the max lol

[ditchyudhaaz]

@MrLucasROG awesome! someday, i'll have it in my garage :D

[johnmatsa]

thich town is this?

[neovictorius]

@johnmatsa He said it was Bologna....?

[BrandnewdayXY]

@johnmatsa is Bologna

[reddevil211287]

HA! he kinda looks like Charlie Boorman though...

[julingy]

good camera angles and sound!!!

[TheTom2301]

this video sucks!!!!

[marcolv0]

dorsoduro!!!

[Jeroen159753]

Lol, @ 1:29 the last rider breaks his right mirror !

[paisarxn23]

aprilia all day

[croripke1994]

which camera do you use??

btw nice bikes

[falcy90]

l'aprilia ha una tecnologia che la ducati si sogna!

[jarek3759]

damn i love thi bikes but i think I'm too tall for this bikes like for KTM 690 supermoto... I'm 1,9... any one know something about this? maybe someone is tall too but he have this bikes.. thx or help

[q1908q]

well, i ve seen tall guys driving these adventure ktm bikes n they seemed to be riding it alright with no probs....it didn't look ugly or anything......but u can always do some adjustments if u want...

[lojh77]

aprilia.....? This is ducati we're talking about.

[Ossie112]

Hey MCN, very nice review with a real good quality (especially in comparison to MCN's older reviews).

I'm thinking of buying a dorsuduro too (not the factory).

My length is 1,73 and i'm a bit affraid the bike will be too high for me. Does anyone know of my length will cause any problems?

[lokifurian]

The flashbulb (y)

[WitGovern]

you know as a mom I could care less about your son... Toyota tec can go fuck themselves

[useryoutub100]

1: 32 Hit with the mirrors when passing thought that place...........shitty mirror for one of the best supermotos

[useryoutub100]

Hate the Ducati Mirrors like me thumbs up !

[MrCOHfan]

Im guessing this bike is just for going arround city not much of a highway bike eh?

[Kevin0749]

Completely ignored his 'user friendly' advice, and got the Dorsoduro Factory. Its an awesome bike, but it is a little racy for a beginner, however with triple mapping ECU in touring mode it is a lot smoother. And I have to say it does get the looks! Have a look at my brief 'sound test vid'.

[zedfibua]

I love this street....and the bike

[WhiteElectronicRabit]

I don't care what annyone thinks about the mirrors.. I love my ducati :)

and I rarely even use my mirrors, only on highways.. And I know that taste differs but I think the ducati is a lot more beatifull.. because the aprillia is frankly to weird and space age..

[LeastTango]

Agree this vid is an improvement on the old MCN clips. Either way, how can you complain when it's free to view? Just one question to the MCN team: Is this a review of the bikes - or showing off your wheelie skills? Not sure of the wisdom of playing the hooligan on your host country's public roads.

[neirinckx01]

you can put the mirrors inside it has an easy option to do so

[GixxerRockstar]

At around 1:30, did the hyper touch the mirrors? Damn Ducati, those...things...are actually a epic fail.

[VollgasHero]

1:30, those damn mirrors on the duc always get in the way. lol

[mcghespo]

2 capolavori

[kopaszQ]

why is the mirror on the ducati so strange and non practical?

[Saccoman73]

Ho preso la DORSODURO....un mostro...neanche da mettere con la hypermotard...la batte in tutti i sensi!! W l'APRILIA!!!

[matteofasanella]

Infatti nel frattempo l'ho comprata... Ho preso la Factory: è un mostro!!!

[zereksm]

wich model of jacket have dorsoduro driver?

[matteofasanella]

ragazzi, qualcuno potrebbe tradurmi le considerazioni finali per cortesia? purtroppo non capisco l'inglese...

Grazie! lamps

[matteofresh]

@matteofasanella :

la dorsoduro è migliore in tutto rispetto alla hyper 796...

[giannischania]

thats a like!

[superfabl0303]

My dogs could do better on the same bikes.Next time in Bologna you better eat totellini!

[billjackalsmith]

Anyone know who makes Aprilia's engines? Rotax right?

[H00Bangin]

that was a cool vid...although the comparison between dorso factory and kTm 690smc would be even better...

[jpmilton1]

he hits the mirror at 1:32

[weaternpi]

i can't decide which to get harley ironster or ducati hypermotard

[onebigski]

I would like to hear more about the specs, ie power of both bikes and weight. It would have been nice if they threw a KTM 690 SM in the mix too

[xelamos95]

@onebigski Forget the ktm......the dorso has..... 92 HP (67.3 kW) (power) @8750rpm 8.4 kg (82 Nm) (torque) @4500rpm 749,9cc and the bike weights 185kg(dry weight) ducati.... 81 HP (59.6 kW) @ 8000rpm 7.7 kg @ 6250rpm 803cc and the bike weights 167 kg(dry weight). If you want the faster one i suggest the Dorsoduro. If you want a more easy bike to ride in town the ducati is better(but take in consideration that the ducati with open mirrors is very wide and it could be uncomfortable.)

[xelamos95]

@onebigski I mean forget the KTM because it has a mono-cylinder engine(and the dorso with the ducati have two-cylinder engines) less power(46.8 kW @ 7500rpm),torque(65 Nm @ 6500) and cc(654) than those two and the only advantage is that is weights less than those two (154 kg.).

[JackHollywood070]

1:32 MIRROR FAIL

[550starfox]

I thought were were going to get a 1000 dorso and shiver. the engines been on the workshop floor for like 2/3 years. Come aprilia get yer finger out!

[550starfox]

Aprilia Sxv450/550.... also twin cylinder motards!!!!

[BrakeHorsePower92]

Oh my god, the two coolest Two-Cylinder Motards...wait, aren't they the only ones? :S

If I had to choose...oh shit, I couldn't decide...

[WEEGIMEDIA]

Drop Boreman he's a c@*k always show boating ( and not even good at it either ) total idiot

[alexskylarking]

Ok so we have these 2 beauties here... Could we throw a Street Triple R into the mix to see who wins?

[1986SoWhat]

The STR is one of my favorite bikes, but it will never win a test like this. Motard are way better in a city enviorment. I would rather like to see these up against a KTM SM R, or even a BMW X-Moto which i think would be great in the city.

[alexskylarking]

Yeah that sounds idea!

MCN Do you hear us? Group test please....

[Gizmorun]

not same catagory is it.

[xelamos95]

@alexskylarking Maybe we should also throw a R1.....equal right????

[alexskylarking]

@xelamos95 Hell yeah!!! Why not an RSV4 too! lol

[camfifteen]

Give the camera man a job.

[motorcyclenewsdotcom]

He already has one as the Staff Photographer

Thanks for watching,

MCN

[pireus48]

ah ah ha ahahha i love british humor; anyway my dorsoduro is the best bike ever; it's a great all rounder..............forza aprilia;ciao dall'italia

[inkmonster0u812]

@motorcyclenewsdotcom get boys, hate the haters.Yall do a good job.You can tell by the comments if there evan real riders or not.

[Pasanonic]

@motorcyclenewsdotcom Yeah, but tell us how many you have written off. And I already know the answer. Ducati are fed up of replacing them ;)

[gandu9]

@motorcyclenewsdotcom Why do you not use this camera man for all you videos? The other videos look terrible compared to this video.

[JLbKicker]

@motorcyclenewsdotcom then give the man a raise!!

[owengoslin101]

Yeah the camera work is fucken great +1

[shotokanbiker]

liking the back street riding, good choice. both bikes look awesome!

[calineophyte]

The Hypermotard 1100 evo sp is air/oil cooled like the 796.

[Garrison64]

Great camera work on this. Nice to hear the bikes and the wind rushing by.

[achadorez]

Nice camera angle!

Great Vid!

[DigiBiker11]

I think I like the ducati slightly better. The Aprilia looks amazing too though! Both great bikes.

[JazzFiveO]

Love that Ducati

[1986SoWhat]

Any ABS for any of these?

[Rafal264]

Aprilia has for sure... I don/t know about ducati thoe...

[javimitch2002]

Only the Aprilia, which I think is much better than the Ducati. At least in suspension and brakes.

[xelamos95]

@1986SoWhat If you dont take the factory dorso there is also an ABS version of the normal one.

[antonio1tw]

I like apilia's absorber...it's put on most mutifuction bike nowadays ...ducati is just good on brand image, i like wheeling part...shows just cool in downtown

[GIJoeBob]

Yes, much better than the others. Good job!

[Godv2]

looks like the ducati's mirrors were a bit too wide at 1:30

[dbauernf]

Hooligans! Great vid! Keep it up!

[wreckz189]

mcn's recent vids are a HUGE improvement from the wind-noise-riddled ones of the past. great work and pls post heaps more vids.

[lamilumag]

nice video! well done, well filmed, well cut - good job :)

[dialdn]

Good job MCN. Well produced.

[sampsalol]

What an awesome video, well filmed and all! Good 5 stars!

[Buttmunch5000]

nice video, and they are both really great bikes would be a big problem for me to choose between them, like both ducati and aprilia

[karlosdajackal]

Looks like you had fun making this! Nice.
