Ducati Panigale V2 vs Suzuki GSXR 750 - Airfield drag race | Knox armour
A few months ago, we had the Ducati Panigale V2 for a few weeks and as part of our shoot, we visited the Airfield to do some high-speed riding. Our Suzuki GSXR 750 is pretty famous now on the Knox channel and it doesn’t take much imagination to figure out we had an opportunity for an epic drag race - The Ducati Panigale V2 vs Suzuki GSXR 750. The modern middleweight superbike vs the original. - Game on!
After about an hour of testing, the results were convincing. The Panigale V2 had absolute topside of the GSXR in every test we performed from the 0-140mph sprint to the in-gear tests we did 40-120mph in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.
Whether it was the immediate punch from a standing start or the in-gear drive, the Panigale showed itself to be incredibly powerful. The in-gear performance was incredible and to be honest, left my GSXR 750 for dead, there really wasn’t any debate!
The Ducati Panigale V2 is an incredibly powerful motorcycle that proved itself more than a match for the iconic GSXR 750, providing fantastic power and drive with ease of use and a level of stability which gives you the confidence to hold the throttle to the stop in areas you may be backing off on a 1000cc superbike. Very impressive!
This was confirmed later on a recent track day at Donington Park where I was riding in the same group as the “Art of Racing” team who compete in the Ducati Trioptions cup. While these were race bikes with experienced racers piloting them, what we saw at the airfield was reflected here, the Panigale V2 showing my GSXR a clean pair of heels all day long!
So, our the conclusion is, the Ducati Panigale V2 is a fast motorcycle and we think that if you want a fast superbike but aren’t quite ready for the mental top end of a modern 1000cc superbike, check the V2 out. It has most of the punch that a 1000cc has but is easier to manage and maximise on road and track! Ironically, more or less the same proposition of the GSXR 750 10-15 years ago! 😊

To me, I believe the GSX-R750 is best understood as yardstick motorcycle. It’s handling, acceleration, and top speed, combined with the absolute lack of electronic aids, mean that the bike is never at fault for slow times. It’s fully capable of 5.5 to 6.0 second 0-100mph, 1/4 miles in the 10.5 range, can carry the same speed through corners that a 600 can, and is only ever really let down by the rider. Neeves said it best, the GSX-R750 is the essence of sport riding.

Stunning that a bike that has barely changed since 2011 can be even near a brand new state of the art bike. Imagine how good it would be with modern electronics and a little bit of development. This class is the one that has the most meaning for road based sports bikes.

@@muckle8 Traction control and ABS are quite interesting to use. My bike has several TC settings, including how much wheelie and wheelspin, and it's amazing how you can hang the rear out with controlled wheelspin without too much danger of highsiding or lowsiding. Or you can choose no wheelspin and the bike accelerates so smoothly even over bumps. Of course you can turn all that off, but then the bike becomes quite difficult to ride. 1000cc bikes make a lot of power and I'm not using the best of tires.

I have tried to get myself to buy a Yamaha and also a Suzuki. But somehow the styling of Jap bikes is not well thought out I think. Only the Hayabusa is really good looking - only from the side. While riding it, the fairings and how they are attached to the bike look really very cheap. I am a Ducati or BMW guy. I bought 8 bikes, and could never buy a Jap bike. I tried so many times but never felt excited. They just look cheap and plastic to me. Even the engine of a Ducati is a work of art. The truss rods, handlebars, the clean look, and the sound of the engine is like a heartbeat for me. The sound of a Ducati engine melts with my heartbeat. I have never felt so connected to anyone or anything in my life. Even cleaning my Ducati for 2 minutes gives me a smile. I have owned so many bikes but a Ducati is like a dream. Everyone should try to own one. It is an experience like no other. And I also own and fly planes btw. A Ducati is as classy as flying a private jet.

curious to know why you would get inline-4 over V4 ? .... exhaust-sound, engine-heating, reliability/maintenance, torque-curve / power-band ? thanks, regards.

@@chirag4 yes, exhaust sound. I cannot stand the sound of Ducati's V4 at higher revs, it's actually irritating to me. now if it was Aprilia's V4, now that's music to my ears 😀

@hungrysurfer9471 Жыл бұрын

To make it fair the GSXR needs a dyno run remap to de-restrict it. Otherwise it doesnt have full throttle opening in the lower gears. Also if you add a can and decat to the remap it gains 8 hp and 4lbs torque. Much smoother power and faster pick up.

@KnoxArmour Жыл бұрын

The GSXR is remapped and power is 131hp at rear wheel which is about what they make. Gearing change which is now done would have made a difference, but still dont think it would quite match the V2 acceleration. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

If you want to remap the Gixxer and add can and decat got to do the same for the V2 if you want to compare them!

It's an interesting thing to then compare the V2 to a 2017+ GSXR1000R. The price is cheaper on the Suzuki and has equivalent electronics. I think it's a more fair comparison to throw at it and I'd be interested to see how they compare in grunt and street manners

@KnoxArmour Жыл бұрын

We did it off camera, the GSXR1000 beat it by a similar margin to that the V2 beat the 750. We didnt put it on the video, because we had some fair stability issues with the GSXR1000. Thanks,, Aaron KNOX

@ianwarren Жыл бұрын

Not sure the electronics are quite up to the V2 standard! No Anti Wheelie control No Engine Breaking Control No colour TFT I doubt the Quickshifter is as smooth and buttery as the ducati though I stand to be corrected as I haven’t ridden the GXSR1000R PS my 125 was a Suzuki so not remotely anti Suzuki and the Gixxer is a respected legend and always has been great value. I had a long test ride on the V2 last year not expecting to change from my CBR650R and not expecting to be affording one either but a new job and instant love for the bike has changed that 👍

Coming to this late...But how much closer with an L generation GSXR? Lighter and more powerful.

@KnoxArmour 2 жыл бұрын

Not much closer.. the new L generation are same engine more or less and while a few kg lighter, wouldn't make that much difference, especially in the roll on tests. Since this test though, I have changed the gearing quite a lot which would make it much easier to get off the line and improves the response. I think I could get it similar 0-100 now, but in gear will still lose. Put simplythe v2 is just a more powerful bike. 😀 Aaron Knox

The Ducati is a great bike, but for me I would choose the Suzuki. The Ducati dealer is just too far away from me to make it a wise choice. I also think that Suzuki would give me years of trouble free riding with maintenance I could do at home. Actually a better comparison would have been the GSXR-1000 which still comes in cheaper than the Ducati and is closer to the same size than the 750.
