1198 Ducati Smokes Yamaha R6

Ducati with Full Termi Exhaust, Nemesis ECU, Ohlins suspension, Lightened Flywheel..

2002 R6 with HR1 Riot exhaust, velocity stacks, jet kit, geared -1/+1

R6 does 160 and Ducati is still significantly ahead. The R6 was just run all the way thru 4th and 5th gear up to 160. A 3rd gear downshift woulda helped a bit, but not

This was just as exciting as watching a Corvette race a Prius.

Next time race a Liter bike instead of bike with 1/2 the displacement.

@carvethecanyon If he put the R6 in 2nd gear it woulda been close up to 120. It's just a video. It's not a competition here. I don't know why you all get so fuckign worked up.

We switched bikes so I could try the duc. At 160+ it's silky smooth. Get over it everyone, and enjoy the fact that the bikes are somewhat comparable.

Guy with the camera should have shifted into a lower gear to keep up. 1198 is too much for most people on the track. I pass them all the time on my F4i.

[chiefsmokedawg]

@jamesF4i Yeah, he just did a 4th gear roll on to feel out the power band. HAd he downshifted enough, the R6 would have kept up pretty good. It still didn't do bad in this video tho! I was on the duc and hit the rev limiter on a few of the shifts. LOL

[blinkingmail]

that is only 600cc. LOL

[chiefsmokedawg]

@blinkingmail LOL, yeah. Just an example of how much faster the 1198 is

[CropDuster33]

the ducati FUCKING SMOKED the r6, who would have thought that a bike with double the horsepower would have won.

@chiefsmokedawg

Hows the torque of the ducati feel at lower speeds vs. high speeds? Doeas the inline fours feel like it start to catch up at the higher speeds?

[rkfaithfulblade]

Doesn't even seem like either of these guys had it wide open

[upn0rth1]

@CropDuster33 ummm... you have your numbers way wrong duc is 170, r6 is 130. The torque difference however, between the two, is huge (more than double). Please don't post unless you have a clue.

I used to have a 2001 R6 and they are fast as hell. I am highly suprised it kept up with the Duc as well as it did. Props to Yamaha.

[azhrin77]

looks like the r6 never drop the gear just pull throttle in high gear...no wonder the ducs go away

[chillertek]

HAHAHAHA looks like the R6 won to me. The Duc looks like it blew up and the R6 flew by.

[8lShOWmeHoWtoLiEl8]

Good shit!

I feel bad for the dude in back though.. Poor Chum.. He tried so hard.

LOLOLOLOL.. Nicely done. Congrats, Ducati :)
