2009 Streetfighter Comparison: 2010 Ducati Streetfighter vs. 2008 Benelli TnT 1130

[pikemancolley]

forget both and get triumph, the king of street fighters and cheaper 2

[AniruddhaNatekar]

why does he keep calling the duc as a 'duck'?. .. isn't it supposed to be more like 'duke'?

[KTM990WFO]

@AniruddhaNatekar They used to until KTM introduced their 690 Duke and 990 Super Duke models. Both of which are street fighter bikes as well so they refer to Ducati's as "ducks" to avoid confusion.

[collingstj]

Wow, what if the videographer used a wind noise reducer? I'd actually be able here wtf the guys were saying.

[ThePowersportsguru]

ridden both- Ducati may be faster but lacks the overall character of the Benelli Cafe' Racer..also,the Benelli drew a crowd every where I went -people literally swarmed me at bike night!....people looked but kept going with the Ducati.

[KrazyCuzItIsCool]

They're so cool they can park their bikes right in the middle of the road!

[stephendpruitt]

i wonder if their going to wheelie in this clip?

[raaka24]

Benelli is uglier than Ducati.

[Tophairybutt]

I didn't realize that Benelli built big boy bikes, I thought they only built scooters and minibikes for children or american men.

[RiderwithaLeftHook]

I rode the streetfighter and I loved it. Never rode the Benelli but have ridden a speed triple.............to me, stability is everything when hustling around the canyons...

[tchango0]

have to try the TNT R 160 n( 155hp)

[madmio]

This is not in HD, what the fuck?

[benjyboba]

I must also comment on the power of the benelli vs the streetfighter. The benelli has a larger motor and I believe the streetighters power has be retuned for the bike so its not as brutal as a 1098. I rode the streetfighter s in the rain and were so impressed with the amount of grip it has. I accelerated hard to see how much it takes to spin the rear wheel and I was in shock. I asked if the traction control was working and they said it wasnt on. Amazing machine

[benjyboba]

Haveing tested a Ducati streetfighter s model and a standard 1098 and 1198s and 848. I must comment about the heavy steering. The first bike I rode was a 1098 and it did feel heavy but later I tried a streetfighter s and 1198s and the s models seem to feel extremely light in comparison. It could also be how the bike is set up. I thoguth I just aswell try a 848 and it felt heavy like the 1098. I put it down to the lighter wheels, ohlins why the s model is more superior.

[sonicboomss]

ive tested the streetfighter, its a awsome bike, fantastic accereration and handling.

next on the test ride list, TnT 1130

[RogVMax]

The Streetfighter is fuggly and compromised as a road bike.If you wanted a bike for race track bragging rights would you not be better off with a 1098, teenagers.

[LancerFIN]

@RogVMax Streetfighters aren't made for high speeds anyway. Mostly for stunting and city driving. You can drive 100mph with streetfighter if you have proper gear other wise wind will rip your clothes and it doesn't feel very good.

[RogVMax]

@LancerFIN The Streefighter has been deemed two track focused for a street,road bike.The best for the road in this class of Naked bike are the MV 1090 Brutale,if you like the refined smoothness & top end of this in line four.Or my fravorite the Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce with the 1200cc V-Twin charisma with a torque curve to die for in road bike with 123 NM at 6500RPM

[monkeypainter808]

@RogVMax Product placement. What would a ducati be if it was a tamed good ol' all arounder with no controversy?

[RogVMax]

@monkeypainter808 You mean like the New 1200 Multistrada

[monkeypainter808]

@RogVMax That bike is far from uncontroversial.

[RogVMax]

@monkeypainter808 There are many beautiful flowers in the forest,but whom is to say which one is the most attractive?

[monkeypainter808]

@RogVMax the one whose buying it?  Not that I disagree

[monkeypainter808]

@LancerFIN what are you wearing, a dress?

[LancerFIN]

@monkeypainter808 Just anything that is loose on you. The reason why people driving choppers are wearing leather.

[monkeypainter808]

@LancerFIN Hmm.. I never thought it to be uncomfortable. But then again when I think 100mph+ comfort is probably one of my last thoughts. What bikes have this comfort @ 100 in loose clothing anyway?

[LancerFIN]

@monkeypainter808 Well loose clothing is never comfortable at high speeds but sport bikes with full covering and windshield which forms air bubble that protects you.

[RogVMax]

The best naked sports road bike in the world with that V-Twin charisma still remains the rare Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce 1200.

[DistractedRider]

Beats them hands down. HUH.... Too bad they no longer make Buell.

The Duc StreetFighter is a beautiful and powerful bike.

But they should have at least tested the TnT Evo against the Duc it would have been a better comparison. The Benelli TnT Evo has better brakes,adjustable F&R Suspension and some carbon goodies than the regular TnT.

[benjyboba]

I supose they should have tested the TnT Evo against the higherspec streetfighter s, But your right they should have used their better bike. But truely many people will find these bikes different and have different opinions. I rode lots of them dukes and a 1098 I rode felt heavy but the streetfigher and 1198s felt extremely light. The set up of the bike can change things, so I supose its really which bike takes your fancy and if you can afford it. They all great :)

[choopdewoot]

i think the buell 1125r and 1125cr beats both of them hands down

[beabellucci]

I' never tested the streefighter, but I have a TNT EVO, and each time I ride it I think "INCREDIBLE".

It shot you out of all the curves. It is really explosive

[Poler777]

How is the legroom on the TNT. It looks gorgeous, but unfortunately a lot of Italian sportbikes don't like my long legs (RSV4!!!) My brain says get a BMW S1000RR, but my heart says TNT EVO.

[TheeeDoctorrr]

yea but bennelli has no dealerships

[beabellucci]

@Poler777

I'm 1.76 cm tall (69.2 inch), and I feel perfectly on the TNT. I can touch the ground and I feel confortable on the riding.

[mrkthmn]

@beabellucci I think You mean 1.76 meters, not centimeters. 1.76 centimeters is about half an inch.

[beabellucci]

@mrkthmn - Furtunately you are right

[l7105160]

BENELLI POWER !!

TNT EVO much better and faster

CAFE RACER gold the best look

[dieciallamenonove]

where is this road?

[plg4l]

if that was a good review,i would hate to see a poor one.

[PrevtzerNinja]

I think it was a great review.

[musiciskey777]

this was a good review...good job, because half of your vids are poor and the other half is decent

[musiciskey777]

its called a accent idiot...we would say YOU don't say it properly...but we don't, because we know its a ACCENT...wow

[Zlatan78cb]

stupendeeee...

[nzroadrider]

I've only seen one Streetfighter in the flesh and man are they hot looking bikes!

That said I feel the comparison should have really been between the Ducati Streetfighter and the KTM SuperDuke because the SD to me is the accepted "naked" bike king.

[plg4l]

its called a duke,not a duck.

the duke is a way better bike.

[biglandfarm]

duke and duck refers to the same bike, its know by all motorcycle riders..........

DUKE = DUCK

[nzroadrider]

Not 'round these parts, if you said nice Duck (Duke) you'd get some sideways looks because people would be wondering what the hell you were on about..

[RiderwithaLeftHook]

@biglandfarm yeah, back in the day people used to call Ducs, Dukes but not so much now because of KTM's Duke and mini Duke....

[apricotsnms516]

why are you testing a 2008 vs 2010?

[hoyaxc]

much better review

[Meatbag92]

vid title wut. also, i would make love to either bike.

[biglandfarm]

GOOD REVIEW 5*

[doze36]

sick!!
