I got a 2016 Tuono V4 for the simple fact I wanted a V4 standard but at a cheaper price. Man did I ever feel like I hit the mark. 5K on the miles and man this bike just keeps asking for more, I feel like it is the best bang for buck in the more affordable V4 group. You never feel out dated if you get a Italian bike you can afford.

People should stop whining about wind when riding a naked motorcycle. Stay in a car if the wind bothers you. lol

Great video. I’ve ridden them all except the BMW and the MV. The KTM was a clear winner for me, especially considering the $6k price difference, no cruise control or gas gauge on the Streetfighter. I bought a Super Duke 1290 GT for the added comfort. Best bike I’ve ever owned by far.

MT10 needs to be there

Test ridden the KTM, Street fighter, Aprilia. Purchased the Aprilia. It’s an absolute animal.

Aprilia's V4 has a permanent place in my heart.

As extraordinary as the SF might be, it could never win the "street" part of the shootout without a cruise control and such a small fuel tank size....

No mention of the lack of torque of the Streetfighter in the midrange, or the high fuel consumption

Pls include new Suzuki GSX-S 1000 and Yamaha MT-10 in next year review, I think they can also give a lot of fun and good driving’s experience.

Love these comparison videos you guys have been doing. Cheers!

I owned the SDR, had too many mechanical issues, had no power over 120-mph, but my life changed when I got my Ducati Streetfighter V-4S with full Akropavic/Up-Mapp, bike is just phenomenal!!! SP incoming this Spring!!!!!

I'm following this test from Germany. I have owned a 1200 RS myself for 3 months now. Wow. Obviously you have a completely different Triumph motorcycle overseas? Have some horsepower been sunk in the sea during the shipping? What other regulations do you have in addition to the indicators from Disneyland? I really don't want to put the ST on the throne, but so far behind and "not outstanding"? Funny: BMW is at the forefront of all testers in Europe because this bike obviously offers the best overall package for country roads. In this test there are 2 bikes ahead that cannot use their nominal performance advantages on country roads ... By the way, I also think that the Ducati and Aprilia are absolutely top bikes, but this test result is a bit weird .. .. Everyone stay healthy.

Excellent shootout, great production. Excited for the track part as well. I'd get the KTM because street-use and I love the looks/supermoto theme/non-active suspension.

You guys rock! Your videos IMO are honest and I enjoy the different perspectives. I had the 21 V streetfighter and I did not enjoy it. IMO the hype of the Tuono is on point. I am the very satisfied owner of a 21 V4 Tuono 1100 Factory. Keep up the good work guys and don't change your review format!

MV is just so special, no matter what anyone says.

GREAT review. My 2021 SF, with Full AKRA and MAP is my everyday transportation even in the rain. 9,000 miles in 10 months. Being Dark stealth, it does not look aggressive, basically a sleeper. With the rear cylinders deactivating @ an idle when warm, pretty quiet when stooped in traffic or a light. Every 80-90 miles have too stop for 3 gal of fuel. No cruse, or fuel gauge not a problem for me. The counter rotating crank helps in the wheelie dept. Above 150, Hang on for dear life, the wind wants too separate you from the bike. Handling incredible, especially at the track. Curious what you guys think. JUST dynoed 207 rear wheel. They had too re strap the rear wheel two times, IT did make a difference in the H.P. KTM my second choice..

Real cool review, always looking forward to hear you guys... keep doing this type of analysis.

Good article. Some cracking bikes in the test!! I like the ktm and the Ducati the best. Rode them all in real life apart from the Agusta. American power on those bikes seems a good bit down on the uk tests I’ve seen. The regulations over there seem so restrictive. Looking forward to the 2nd part guys. 🤘🏻

I really appreciate bike reviews. Cause most of us will have to purchase these things without getting to ride them first. So its great for the common consumer to get an idea of what they are getting beyond just looks.

The 1290 SDR has my vote!

Great review on all the top Halo bikes. You really can not miss with any choice. I own my second SDr and a MV AGusta Dragster 800rr Pirelli edition. The SD makes more horsepower and torque until 9500 vs Streetfighter V4. SD streetable Rpm is very rewarding

I went for the 2022 Tuono V4 base. I think adjustable rearsets are a necessity for touring on it, but it really does hit the mark nearly everywhere else. Some better range would be nice, but if 40 miles per tank is the premium I have to pay for that soundtrack, it’s worth it.

Fantastic comparison video, what a nearly impossible task but you guys did a great job picking the top 3. Can’t go wrong with any of those motorcycles!

I've ride them all.. Best money can buy is the triumph. A motorbike that can do everything..and if you put an aftermarket exhaust with a map,it is a whole different animal..also very well job to every spot of the bike,paint,welds,sound.....

I'm and SDR guy through and through... at 6'4", it's the only option and the most fun bike on the list.

It is certain that these testers are all very experienced and very good drivers. But it is precisely for this reason that I do not understand some of the comments that "disqualify" the ST for country roads. I only drive them on country roads and try not to stroll. For me, the bike works excellently in a wide range of revs. Sure, some testers found the suspension to be too tight, but: the Oehlins components are fully adjustable and of the very best variety. Sometimes I have the impression that the testers are all top drivers, but as soon as they have to adjust a suspension it gets complicated ... I don't want to "complain" any further, maybe I'm just too vain because my beloved ST was so ignored :-)

A very good test after a long period on youtube! MV Augusta is Italian lazy craftsmanship & IT. Ducati is owned by VW i.e German ingeneers tune the electronics, hence the top notch.

Riding back to back with other top naked bike Excellent review👍🏼

I love that KTM. Pair it with the BMW 1250 GS in the garage and it’s done

1) Tuono v4 🔥2) Speed triple 165hp wheel🤙3) ZH2 182 hp wheel( slip on)🤘🤘4) Superduke1290. (S1000r blend. 😫)

The first time i rode an Aprilia Tuono life changed for me.

I love this series reviews from middle size to Liter naked bikes. Wow. A lot of knowledge and feelings to share with audience. Fantastic！

Great comparison and review! Definitely Super Duke for me!

Great timing, im actually in the market to get one next year. So thank you

You guys have the best job ever!

They are all great bikes, it boils down to personal choice. For me it's the Aprilia every day.

Riding Naked is always fun..😄😄

On looks alone the Aprilia does it for me!

I've been waiting for this shootout all year. You guys rock.

In 19, I preordered and purchased a 20 ZH2 to add to the stable. I did not realize the SE was coming out, or I would have waited. My 20 is now flashed, it has a lot carbon fiber bits, slip on, sprint AF, alarm, heated grips, a heated seat, taller screen, etc. I just added a 23 fat bob last month. I’m now in Phoenix and will probably be picking up a new 22 1100 Tuono Factory tomorrow, unless I talk myself out of it. (I took my 02 RSV2 Mille out the other day and realized how much I like that bike.)

Yo where Zuki at? Specs wise Ii might not win anything other than price but on road it will do anything

The zh2 probably has the most power potential out of the line up for those willing to modify. Its incredibly restricted from the factory. As are all of these. But because its boosted it has the most to gain from destrestriction. Bricks performance got a stock zh2 to make 220 wheel horsepower. Moore mafia got one with a full exhaust to make 230 wheel hp. As far as I've seen none of the other bikes gain anywhere near as much power from dyno tuning and light modification.

I do not uderstand how the Aprilia is i the same boat as the others. It does not look like a naked bike... come on guys.... it is not naked at all! Great video! please keep them comming!

I may end up on that beautiful S1000R when my MT07 stops being so fun snd i have the money for it😂 Always loved the inline 4 sound and all the electronics and power is plenty for me

ZH2 is really limited by the ECU but it’s an absolute riot to ride flashed. Shame I had to put mine away for the winter. I’d still ride any of the other bikes shown here just because I LOVE RIDING.

A pretty good day at the "office", I'd say!

Traded my gen 3 sdr for a new tuono, you can’t beat the noise it makes, I liked my sdr but only 2 years warranty in the uk so it had to go. All are good bikes and it’s down to personal preference

Does Streetfighter have Cruise control.? Heated grips.? Fuel guage..? 25 grand..😢😢 and still missing these features...thats just nuts. And the fuel economy is absolutely garbage...🤕🤕🤕

I bought the SFV4S right when it became available 1.5 year ago. After 15.000km in every type of riding i believe it's the best naked ever made. Probably the best Ducati also

. ill take the Triumph thank you.lol

Brutale 1000 RS is way better, addresses everything you mentioned appart from the power delivery. I did 700 miles on one in a day!

Ryan says it all. "I feel spoiled" 🤣 Awesome, awesome collection of bikes. Great video, like they said there is no wrong choice here since you will have fun on any of those bikes. (except the MV I gurss 🤣) I have the 2021 Streetfighter V4S, and I have to say it's surprisingly not as hot as other ducati bikes, but I have to say: THE V4 IS THIRSTYYYYYY 🤣 Bike's amazing though 👌 Great job guys! Looking forward to the track video 👏

Was waiting for this video for month !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon guys.... I need to see the Indian FTR 1200 added to these tests. It's such a fun bike. Way more torque than most and 120ish hp. Easily bumped up with tune and pipe but still, this is a bike that belongs in the naked tests. It is one of the nicest looking bikes out there, has all the electronics, super torque engine. It doesn't need 13000 rpm to go fast. The Indian while being the new kid on the block somewhat deserves to be represented in these shootouts. I've ridden a lot of these and the Indian is right there... Naturally, it won't kill a H2 in a drag race but it is just such a nice bike, looks great, tons of torque and handles every bit as well as any bike in this test... If I could check off the number of bullet bikes I've spanked in both straight line and canyon carving, you'd be impressed. It has the tech, the feel, the look, the power.... The Indian FTR 1200 deserves some love!!!!!

Went from a 2006 Brutale 910 to the 2018 Tuono Factory… absolutely loved the Brute, only traded it because it started having issues that couldn’t be figured out…. As much as I love the MV Brand and the look of those bikes; the news ones that I road where crap compared to my old brute, sounds like they still haven’t figured it out…. Can’t imagine a better bike than the Tuono but that old Brute was also very special….

John's the man!

Feel sorry for the speed triple, no idea why but the American ones are 20bhp down on the uk version.

I've been waiting months for this review

Reaally! you swine! thts priceless John is legend hahah 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'd want the zh2 just for the fact it can make a ton of power with just a tune and exhaust

The headline Dyno figures only say so much. If you look at the power curves, the Kawi and the KTM are the most powerful in the real world, and the Ducati is only the most powerful due to its higher redline.

Don't you think these bikes are a bit of overkill for naked street bikes for most people in terms of horsepower?

As predicted the big Speed is a track weapon! I know Ive got one.

I really want a GSX-S 1000, would love to see a shootout with similar naked bikes to see how it stacks up.

Great video! So next year will see a Japanese shoot out when all the newest bikes are released. Dude next year 10 bike in the ultimate naked shootout.

Loved this "fireside chat" style of review and comparison video. Great perspectives, having ridden most of these bikes and owning the SF I can agree with most of what is said about each bike! Can't wait for the track, just had a track day with my SF so will be cool to see what you guys think!

ZH2!

Ducati vs the KTM for the street: Duc doesn’t have cruise control, fuel gauge, gets horrible gas mileage, gets hotter than KTM, have to rev it higher than KTM to get in the fun power band. The looks are subjective, I don’t like the headlight to instrument cluster gap and the beak looking headlight. Looking at the engine, I see a lot of wires, hoses and braces, not clean looking engine like KTM (which was designed to be a naked from ground up, not just take the fairings off). Of the two, for day to day street riding and living with it…for me KTM wins easily.

Thank you heaps as I have a 2018 370z nizmo in black and I love it you just made my day ❤🕊

Thank you for the awesome reviews.

It’s funny how this review differs to so many others around the world. Emissions restrictions? American fuel? American expectations?

Great video as always. Why not include the new Suzuki? Or the Honda? Options for us poor people.

Hi guys, great review thank you very much for the work. I'm a bit surprises though with the dyno output. I know it's rear wheel and vendors often feel a bit optimistic, but for the MV for instance a 50 hp loss is too huge.

I wonder how good Yammy's updated MT-10 will be against these.

MV-AGUSTA should really put an effort as far as engine mapping goes. It is really a pity to have such a good engine and such a beautiful motorcycle and yet you can not do right the one thing that matters the most.

Ridden top 3, personal preference, but for street and sound, Tuono💃

Tuono is #1. Best sound amongst competitors. Has cruise control, gas gauge and 5K less vs Streetfighter. KTM look and sound are very subjective. Rode Tuono Factory from Phoenix to LA, after 6 hours ride I felt fresh which quite questionable if it'd be Streetfighter.

This video is going to do some serious damage to my savings.

All BMW needed to do was have the shift cam, and put a cool asymmetric headlight on it, and it would have been a contender. No excuse for leaving shift cam off. And the styling of the bike is cool, then they put last years generic GSXS headlight on it and total neuter the looks. The BMW is just like the Triumph, great bikes, but when you are trying to compete in this class, you have to swing for the fences.

Interesting about the dyno figures for speed when 165 on bikelife norge. Perhaps dyno calibration off which begs question if all tests off

Gobbled up the whole video and the web article - I feel spoiled! Thanks chaps! I would have liked to see the dyno charts start from a lower number though... 2,000 would be great! I found the 2020 Z-H2 a little bit "conventional inline-four" between 2-4000rpm before the boost spools up and you have me wondering if Kawaski has done something to address that. P.S. It would be awesome if you could navigate the review photos on your website with the keyboard cursor keys (or swipes for the young 'uns)

37:37 Triumph Speed Triple making a thug like Sneaky Entry there in the montage of Ducati Streetfighter V4 while its being praised Lmao...... 🤣🤣🤣

Aprilia will take it back in the track test.

Shame you used the 2020 version of the Ducati Streetfighter S. The 2021 has the peak torque 2000rpm lower making for an even better engine. I've the 2021 Streetfighter and it's noticeably swifter than the 2020

Just watch some Super Hooligan races and you'll know what I'm talking about!!! Free the Indian FTR 1200!!!

Z H2 !!!

Such a frickin' cool review of big boy 'nakeds' guys....u'r all so laid back-having a gud time, but to the point! I'm a 'Streetfighter man' myself (just the standard version -2019 from Preston / Manchester Ducati dealership here in the UK (where in north-west we've got crap bumpy 'B'roads- full of pot holes we all pay road tax for in Lancashire. England). So naturally i'm going to be voting Ducati in this shoot-out, as rain or shine i get me thrills & a big ole grin on my freezin face- summer/ winter, rain or shine- S/F kicks arse & is a real crowd pleaser too. Occasionally I get a scowl, (as V4 so noisy as standard) in town, but mostly joy & admiration from 'joe public'.

Loved all the reviews. You guys killed it. I was hoping my Super duke 1290r would make the top three and it did.

Man Ducati are just going next level now days motogp tech is all over there bikes.

Great review. Only gripe is that I wish they would have compared overall price and ranked them more with that in mind. There is almost a 14k difference between some of these bikes which is a whole second bike.

I love the streetfighter but no one mentions that for $25k it has no fuel gauge and its fuel consumption is terrible. Tuono is terrible for fuel consumption also and both bikes have heat problems. I just can't get past the KTM's looks even tho its a brilliant bike.

Love your reviews. These Halo bikes check all the right boxes. Halo bike tech eventually filters down their whole line. Truthfully, for the street, middle weight bikes are perfect, 110-150 horsepower. 200 horsepower plus bikes are like a 250 mph car. Why? Love my Super Duke snd MV AGusta 800 rr. No way can you use 80% of the potential of these bikes on the street especially on the twisted. Great job guys

With the new Superduke R EVO anounced with the semi active suspension.. Will the SDR move up to 1st place?

Seems like anything that sounds like a twin wins these tests all the time. Ought to do another test with blindfolds and earplugs that only lets you hear your own heart beating.

Best shootout ever

While I haven't ridden all of these bikes, I've ridden a couple. They all seem to be solid bikes so it's all personal preference and what one can afford in the end. That being said, I'd like to add 2 more of these to my garage if I could.

Can we see more roll-on power test that has seem to have been lost through the years.

Well done, gents. 👏 Appreciate your thoughts and the video. 👍👍

Loved that intro music 👍👍👍

So you're saying the MV makes 46.9hp less than the brand claims (161.1 vs 208hp)? Seems a bit off.
