My head says Bmw S1000RR, my heart says Ducati V4R, my business consultant says Honda sh 125

I'm not really a Ducati fan, but man that V4R is a sexy looking machine.

Damn I wanted to hear the V4R owner's comments but this guy kept interrupting him !

The bottom line? On road price: S1000RR Mpack = AUD$32k, V4R = AUD$63k. For the road the V4S is a better comparison to the BMW but even it is AUD$40k. And the BMW includes heated grips, tyre monitors, cruise control, gps functionality, bluetooth link to your comms and phone...I really like the Duc but there's a battle going on in my head.

This was one of the most chill and honest review at the same time. Ducati people are the best but in terms of laptimes bmw is not far behind, but the pricing really changes the game here. Also i think a V4R should go with the HP4 head to head because ducati has given all they have on the V4R, but BMW also has a lot reserved to fight with. Nice review loved it.

Dude you need to let guy answer your questions. You just keep talking and you dont let a such a good rider like that ducatii owner give us a good a real about the bike and its difference. Good video but improve on your interview.

Flipping hell! People wandering on the track about 19 mins in. Madness!!

These are not the motorcycles to be reviewed by amateur riders.

I switched over to Ducati in 2003 with the 999 and was absolutely amazed at the difference in both handling and that low-end drive out of corners. I was riding in Okinawa with a 02 R1, a Gixxer 1000 and a Japanese local had the new 03 ZX-10 and not one of those bikes could match the Ducks drive out of the corners…..and for 4 riders who were matched pretty evenly skill wise, the Duck was hard to run down. In letting my buddies ride the Duck, they were amazed at the slim-ness, due to it being a v-twin, but also amazed at its nimbleness. When it’s related some of these bikes handle “like they are on rails”….I’ve never had a more stable, confidence inspiring cornering machine. Coming from 1990 Gixxers where I was used to controlling my tire slide, the Duck you could look, dive, corner, drive. Only bike I’ve had come close is a worked RC51. In all, thanks guys for the chill review and great video. 👍 Can’t wait to see more from you all! Go out and get everything you can! 😁🤙 Ride safe and keep her sunny side up! 🙏

Let's face it, most of us won't be able to push these bikes to their full potential, so performance aside, looks and sound have made it difficult to choose between the two. The only thing that would seal the deal is price and what you get for it, and the BMW in that regard wins hands down. Not that I could afford either anyway. Haha

You do realise that was going to be the case anyway. The V4 is meant for the track. The bmw is a hybrid meant for road and track. The tuning will be completely different

Ducati is by far the top machine for the track, however, for a guy like me, who wants also travel on supersport bike, BMW is a better choice, more road-oriented, cruise control, hill-start control and heated grips are not available on Ducati, simply is not designed to go on the road.

Haha cool review guys, for the main character in the clip with the glasses, you really found it hard to say the Ducati was better, that was quite funny :)

Pretty sure my lap times will be similar on both, as I’m just an amateur track day enthusiast, and both will put a huge smile on my face, which is all I care about. I’ll save the money and go with the BMW.

Both are great bikes! It must good to have both bikes in the garage 💙🏁❤️ Enjoy the bike life 🤙

Ducati Panigale and Bmw S1000rr are the bests bikes of all time.

bought panigali v2 damn crazy machine its not even breaking in yet only 200 miles i did so far cant wait to go on tracks

I so want either of these beauty’s LOTS OF LOTTERY entries this week 👍 Brilliant review cheers mate.

That tail with registration number on BMW will slow the bike down a lot. I know cause I broke mine twice, very hard to get to top speed because of air drag.

V4 looks incredible with the race kit, BMW less aggressive but no less intimidating. Amazing sound from both!

I would be very scared to test drive this bikes,because if i broke one of them i have to work my all life to paid it!Amazing machines!

These two riders are not even leaning low while cornering because cornering low will give the tyres to touch the smaller diameter compared to the mid section of the tyre while riding straight. That smaller section makes a 13000 rpm engine to run at 15000 rpm at the tachometer and produces more horsepower and torque to move ahed, you can talk to any pro rider like I met and they will show you some interesting GoPro footages about what I spoke now. These bikes will show their full potential when they are driven in a proper MotoGP track. I'm writing this because they unnecessarily overlooked BMW while comparing it to Ducati. BMW S1000RR was the first bike to put all the electronic advancements in a bike and made it standard in their lineup. I vote for the inventor than the one who experimented and implemented that idea in an other way than the inventor. If I say something good, they call me a BMW fanboy but I don't care. Before the S1000RR all the bikes were just inline four litre class bikes but BMW revolutionized the modern superbike class. He is saying that he will buy a Ducati if he had the budget of an S1000RR but BMW wants to offer the riding experience to everyone that's you are riding a racing machine without racing equipment on it and if you want the true machine BMW is ready to cook and serve you every part of the S1000RR with carbon fiber except the tank, swing arm and the engine. In the past the Ducati Superleggera was one of the most expensive and leading bikes in the world but BMW S1000RR HP4 SUPER STOCK RACE EDITION was around 80000 dollars way cheaper than Ducati with all the technical advancements that you'll never find anywhere, especially in the Ducati Superleggera. If S1000RR was not there, all the remaining superbikes, we're nothing but metal blocks with four pistons running at high speeds and killing the riders. 1) Active Suspension. 2) Cornering ABS. 3) Full racing carbon fiber wheels and carbon fiber kit. 4) Fastest running bike when introduced. 5) Very hard to spoil even in daily use when compared to the rest of brands. 6) It's the only asymmetrically designed with a purpose. (Check for BMW S1000RR ASYMMETRICAL DESIGN EXPLAINED) All the above mentioned four were invented and introduced by the BMWS1000RR and the rest of the world, followed it and mostly the, riders were safe.

That ducati big guy was sensitive and not happy to listen anything against his bike 😂

Well race lines def are not your thing... yikes

i think it is great you got two machines together that people want to see go head-to-head in a comparison. You brought up some key points that are factual and make a difference. But the test was biased towards the Ducati from the start. I know its a great machine because I own one. I can attest to most of what you said. That said, I didn't like the fact one was on "STREET" tires and the other one was on "SLICKS." Not a real comparison. But them both on the same tire, piped and tuned...then let us know what you really think...more importantly the guy sitting next to you.

Bmw is ment more to go head to head with the v4s not the R

The RR is designed to be able to unclog the rear lights and number plate for the track with ease, you should of atleast taken it off for the test.

Reckon both front suspensions were about bottoming out 🤸😭 Cracking bikes Both😁

I still feel for the S1000RR, but I still appreciate & respect the Panigale for what it is.

C'mon guys, ride the damn bikes, you are waaay too slow in corners. How can anyone take you seriously when you slam on the accelerator and take the corners with 50kmh

LOL XD at 12:07 of the interview.That interviewer look like a fool as soon the Ducati owner continue is explaination after been stupidly interrupted!!

That dude needs a gag , let him talk back stop interrupting .... he’s like my Mrs !

I just want to talk about how many bugs can you fit on a helmet?

Panigale and S1000RR>Orther Bikes!

Ducati sits mean with that one sided swing arm!

Great content. Love hear sound of engine without music background

Man I've always wanted a ducati 🤤

Front suspension on bmw looked way more stiff than ducati... that could cause the mid corner instability as the very good ducati pilot was trying to talk and the guy didnt let him to.

If i had the money i go with the 1100 factory

Ducati no doubt!

Still have to finish watching the video, but am I wrong or the bmw left fork seal was not at his best?

Where's Waldo missed a few apexes.

Was that fork oil collection on the BMW shock tube?

I think you should’ve pitted the s1000rr with the Panigale V4S.

Bravo baieti , bine facut montajul !

I picked up a 2019 panagale V4S preowned for 26k US with Ducati 3 year extended warranty and free maintenance. And the way it looks you know what is when see one.

That BMW is a sweet machine and I wouldn't kick it out of bed but I have been on nothing but Ducati since 2009 and before that it was CR's and CBR's. There are a lot of awesome Bikes out there but Ducati stole my heart the first rev and first half mile and its been that way ever since :)

What you think about this? Bro!!!! Let the guy in black jacket speak!!!!!!

This Ducati are from Romania Liviu💯❤️🇷🇴

That striking red of v4r is really intimidating.

S1000RR ❤🔥

Ducati is the way to go! I’ve got a monster 1100 and wouldn’t trade it for anything.

ducati v4r is track focus compare the bmw hp4 not the stock s1000rr

theres a huge diffrence in track bikes and hybrid track/road bikes. Track bikes have no power limitations or safety requirments. However a street bikes needs to follow safety regulations and are restricted in power.

I was waiting for someone to make this video. The Ducati V4R would definitely be the bike I would chose. It may be a little more difficult to ride, but that just adds to the experience in my opinion. Also looking at the way the V4R dominates in WSBK pretty much says it all. 230+ horsepower with the full race exhaust is totally insane; not to mention the look is definitely more aggressive than that of the BMW. Maybe a HP4 Race would have a better chance against the V4R.

Bv Bogdan, a iesit bine testul 💪💪👍👍

Slowest reviewer I've ever seen he's a novice rider reviewing bikes. This is hilarious. Lol..

Now it's the time to compare m1000rr with v4r

Ducati looks like from another world

Ducati is another world❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That V4R should be VS HP4

Somebody should review the lightning 218

If no answers for question, what is the point of making reviews about a product. Please start replying or hire a guy to do that.

I appreciate the effort that goes in to this. But those v4r’s do not put down 230 odd bhp at the back wheel. No chance. They’re around the same as the stock 1100 v4. Which is less than the bmw on a reliable dyno. Both epic machines and very much pole opposites. Buy the one you like the look of/how it rides

Wait.. why are you comparing a 30+k thats been modified against a STOCK BMW.. bloody pointless!

Thks guys.

Fan BMW s1000rr

After I think about which one ... fix I prefer Honda Astrea :)

Best comparison ever

Is the panigale V4 more comfortable than A Yamaha R6? The R6 was the worst feeling bike I have ever rode. No power and wrist killer. Gsxr 1000 is very comfortable and good power.

Why do i always see bmw s1000rr only? Where the heck is bmw m1000rr which is the better version of bmw bike.

Your comparing an exotic Ferrari to a corvette

and the lap times?

Great review

Suzuki GSXR please

Its not unfair... the v4r is the v4r... period. Unfair would be any of those against the h2r which isnt road legal.

I d have loved to follow the video, I was interested but guys...You are so soporific.....

a fair comparison would have been the track V4R and the track only HP4 Race

BMW 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I love you Ducati ❤

I dont feel like this is a fair comparison being the v4r has a full system and upmap and the s1000rr with stock map and stock exaust

Essa S1000rr ficou insana.

Where is the dyno test and where are the laptimes?

One of my favourite bikes

I have that Ducati Lego technic set, I, dad and mom built it

Made in Italy ❤🇮🇹

That Ducati fights back

Germany vs Italia 💓🖤

Please , please stop saying the Ducati resembles the MotoGP bike ; the MotoGP bikes cost close to 2 million dollars while the R costs 45 k ; quit the nonsense

The BMW looks to be the new 2020.

these gentlemen are nowhere near skilled enough to form an opinion about whether you should go with one bike or the other. to say that either of those bikes are unstable in the corners just goes to show how much these guys have to learn.

Bmw is the better bike for the ordinary road rider , not everyone buys these bikes to ride on a track , I ride 2019 s1000r sport & looking forward to seeing how the new model will look & perform when it comes out , looking like it’s going to be a 2021 or late 2020 bike now

I'm buing splendor 125cc single cyclinder sohc with carburettor and 0 60 yes it goes

The ducati owner said what he had to say.. and he say it right "s100RR is hybrit bike and V4 is racing bike oriented" after all they are 20k+(stock) euro vs 40+euro(race) and they compared them on the racerack.. even with that diferecence in price.. u got smaller diference in in race track compered to the road where 90% of the bikers will be. I coudnt even see the display of the ducati on the sunlight. basicaly for half the money u will feel much much better and much much faster on the BMW than the ducati. But boy the ducati looks LIT!! even tho the BMW is the best bike for streets and if u put the same money u will got it better than the ducati even on the race track. U might ride a scooter and once u got your hands on the bmw u will feel like the king.. but lets e honest.. BMW makes it feel so damn easy it almost booring.. but ducati can make u rise your testosterone and make u feel your gut go crazy every time u open that trothle and position makes u feel like rocket (not good in roads but u feel like nice). Put it that way.. on the streets with bmw u gona be the king.. with ducati u gona FEEL u are the king like u got a nuclear unstable bomb under your gut!! I rather go for the bmw if that is my only bike 100% but if i have like Enduro/tour and naked/roadster i will go for ducati for a 3th bike ... or if i want to wear my race swuit and bike, just to impress people with my looks might prefer the Ducati (but 10+euro just for that.. dont think so, the diference is the look is not that big for the money since bmw holds a name too)

I think its unfair to have the full Exhaust on the Ducati and not on the BMW

Thank you for your efforts in English language please review the video with someone professional to even ameliorate your English. Also thank you for the v4r contributor.

the bikes tested was with bmw bone stock price is $25k ducati fully hooked up price is $50k with all that goodies at least bmw should of had a full exhaust before the comparison. not a fair review.

Well at least your guest knew to pronounce the letter T in Ducati ..... not Ducadi ....
