Always makes me smile when Neevesy describes himself as an ordinary rider lol

Whoever edited this deserves a raise, some of the transitions were 👌

The sound of the BMW at full chat was spine tingling 😮

I’m a bit confused. So the V4S win’s because it’s easier to ride on the track, but you’d still use the S1000RR on the road and it’s quicker on the track when used by professionals. Isn’t that a 2:1 win for bmw? Also let’s not forget the price.

Ooh “Sound up” part was sooo good !! The sound of s1000rr is just pure harmony for my ears

I own a 2022 S1000RR and just did three days on the Hockenhiem ring on a 2023 S1000RR. I'm amazed at the difference between the two. The new bike picks up revs much faster and has way more induction noise, the suspension feels plusher yet more stable and the brake have a much better initial bite. I'm having a really hard time trying to not trade mine in for the new one.

The sound editing on this video was insane. Spine tingling. However as far as lap times, he just got faster every time. That sounds like getting warmed up and used to the track.

Great video, thank you guys! It would have been interesting to have Neevesy put in some 95% laptimes, just to see the time difference between the two bikes for more mortal riders. Because I mean, let's not forget that 2 seconds is a huge difference for a pro rider on the same year superbikes, on the same tires! Thank you again, great job pointing out the differences between the two and making an allround interesting video!

Loved the intro on this, more of this please! While i can only wish to have Neevesy's skills, I can pretty much agree with the comments regarding the Ducati being easier to ride. Having had two Gen 4s (And a leaky 21 RSV4 Factory) and now a 23 Panigale V4S. I can honestly say the Ducati gives me the most confidence of any of them on track which i never would have thought. I am not sure what magical Ducati source is sprinkled on that bike. But it really does make the rider feel special and i think that is what counts towards the overall enjoyment. One thing i am intrigued about, the S1000RR had the M carbon wheels which are pretty damn light. Much lighter than the forged Marchesini. I have no doubt that contributed to the faster direction change for the test rider mentioned. It would have been interesting to see a stock M forged wheel fitted instead and if that had a dramatic effect on the times.

Thank you for this superbike test. Glad you are still doing these type of test. Would be nice to see accelerations figures and dyno testing the bikes.

I am fortunate to own both these bikes..albeit older versions; a gen 3 s1000rr and 21 yr panigale. I compare them back to back all the time. They are both rapid in race mode for road use. The Panigale is definitely quicker but i often struggle with deciding which one to ride 😂

That intro is amazing, the panigale on the back wheel is pure art

What a privilege MCN providing such talented people to produce a riveting video - sheer frightening joy!!!

That's a great video and detailed explaination. The end really surprised. 💥

Astonishing result. That's what makes the test & MN's explanation so valuable, thanks!

Great commentary here. Quality descriptions and explanations. Thanks a lot for this. I already have one of these two in the garage but now I want the other….

Excellent video. I appreciated the SOUND UP 🔥

Video quality is outstanding , all in all this tests have gone up in the sky in all aspects

Epic video - loved the edit+shots (as well as the riding…)

Great video. All the riders shown are probably better than most people buying them so I guess both will be fine and it will go down to simple things like looks, ergonomics, local dealer, deals, etc etc Then you get the naked version of either of them ! :)

Still love the style of the main video, but that intro was next level. And a solid pair of wheelies in there to really seal it. More please

As always, great review Neevesy! Love the honesty.

Were the timing laps done with or without slicks? If it was done with Sp2 it gives very little information since it tears very fast, especially with traction control.

Thank you, great video with all of the right things we all need to know. I sold my 22 M-Sport a year ago and have been looking again already, for the price of the SKRR it makes a lot of sense to consider, especially in Australia, I loved my last RR immensely.

Interesting comparison! First thanks for that. My S1000rr M package was scheduled to be built yesterday in Berlin and I should have it in 2 weeks. I'm excited to feel what it has to offer and how different it rides compared to my last sport bike (996). However since ordering it I've been wondering if I should have chosen the Pani V4 as it's beautiful and has much more character. Time will tell.....

From 8:48 the sound of the S1RR is amazing, but not quite as amazing as the way it knocks off its speed.

LOL GREAT beginning to the video!

These need to be tested against an 18 year old GSXR 1000.

All the heroes will be off to buy a Double R now, and would have been better off with the Panigale. Electronics are a necessity for the road and the riders who are fair weather, summer weekend riders. The vast majority of the bike riding public will be better off with a bike that’s controllable, safe and forgiving.

Not what I expected at all on both counts, riding experience and lap times. Both amazing bikes.

Wonderful, well done! Great info.

What beautiful pieces of art! Either one of those, in my living room if you please! Great video! Best!

Amazing intro!!!

Thank you for not being afraid to be transparent and pick and freely say your opinions without being bias just facts I like it and great video very good quality

Very cool review that was epic interesting and informative Keep it up Neevesy

I've got a 2018 V4S and I always thought it was an easy, forgiving, comfortable bike to ride,especially after the 1198 I had before.

Haven't had a sports bike since the early R1s but seeing these I wish I could own one now. Just awesome machines. I think the Ducati would be the bike for me. It's the Ferrari of bikes in my eyes. Looks amazing and that sound is so beautiful.

That editing is absolutely epic! Well done team!

Great review.. i could make it simpler.. if you want to look the nuts. Ducati.. if you want to ride mainly on the road . Bmw. All in all another great video thank you mcn.. keep them coming

Thanks for review, as always... EPIC. For me if you want to go all out and You're brave enough Panigale is still the way to go but with Akrapovic set. Panigale has crazy amount of juice left in this engine.

Excellent video 👍🏻

The editing and picture quality on this is superb

good content ...thanks

Both stunning bikes done full justice by some great cinematography. Would the characteristics of the track have favoured one bike over the other and hence had any influence on lap times?

Best editor 👏👏👏🏍️

Definitely not expected result! I have S1K 2019/20 M and still waiting for a bigger change worth it of changing to a new generation

Just picked up a new S1KRR and its a puppy dog at under 9K revs, extremely friendly and comfy on street. Now have to see how it behaves on track for us normal riders.

I love the way you do these tests and naration, so simple and plain yet so professional. At the moment I am riding Yamaha R7, the day i save the money to buy Panigale V2 is gonna be one of the luckiest days in my life. V4 is awesome but i know that i couldnt reach nearly the full potential of a V2, let alone V4 which is a rocket ship. On topic, never would i imagine that BMW would be the more crazy and ferocious than a V4 Panigale, but it happened. All love

Great video

Is the Supercorsa v4 Sp better already than the v3 sc2?

This is the video ive been waiting for 😂

I still wanna see an RSV4 -vs- S1K -vs- Panigale V4

beautiful bikes. Wonder which one is more comforable to ride in non track enviroment.

Amazing shots

I wish we would have more sportbikes! I got a street triple rs 2023 with clip-ons and higher rearset, would absolutely love to have a fairing on it. middleweight is my way to go, but i do love to look at the big bikes.

Great video comparison but interested to know the price difference in the spec as ridden by yourselves

I think we’re coming to a point where skill/power over electronics is the preferred way to go. Every time I get on my 1098 it takes me back to the golden age of motorcycles

You have a Great Job.

Awesome stuff

Awesome video, that s1000 is just🔥

Interesting to see how Polita rides; quite upright and not hanging off very much. One could think he wouldn’t be that fast, but he is😃 Fascinating.

So interesting. I am not a fast rider and don’t have any ambitions to be. But so great to see what these beautiful bikes are about proper.

Always enjoy how MCN discusses the bikes more in their videos rather than throwing up on board video. I've gotten very tired of GoPro reviews where the reviewer just yells "OH MY GAWD" on every straight.

Was my dilemma which one to go for and Panigale won definitely for the look and character. I was always thinking that S1000RR is easier and more comfortable. The 2022 model feels like when I tried it on the road. Interesting enough that Neevesy still believes that BMW is easier to ride on the street but not in the track ? Did the tried the Panigale with Full Engine map ? By default when you go to RaceA riding mode, engine map gets to high not full.

I'm in awe of this kind of feeling for grip.

awesome review

That bmw styling has improved SO much… “even” headlights being the best part!

What were your lap times Neevesy? Just curious.

great reports

Get the yamaha R1M into the game too. Wanna see the engine characteristics compared to the Ducati & BMW. And the handling

The stereo sound in my ear holes 🫠🫠🫠

Mr Neevesy please do a short video on why you went from ARAI to Shoei 🧑🏻‍🚀

I really appreciate your tests and honestly👍👍👍 but why the V4s vs S1000RR when the title says the best superbike. The best superbike for 2023 should be a contest between the V4R and the M1000RR. As an V4R owner I hope you will compare them one day.

Neaveys, please enter the f900 cup! Be incredible to see you in that series.

Brilliant 🔥😎🍻

Great video........

It look like this bmw has the Akrapovic full exhaust system that bmw offers on bmwmotorrad?

Looking forward with the comparison of the V4R 😉😏

Fascinating video. I reckon Ducati at least for a road bike or two give up on that v2-feel and use the great qualities of the v4 as a v4. The bmw's livery is a bit reminiscent of early 90s shell suit style, but I do prefer its looks which I admit is probably at odds with the view of most

MCN prima test weer! 👍. Jammer dat er op superbike gebied weinig ontwikkeling is vanuit Japan. Geen uitdaging meer voor de Europese merken. Op straat en nu ook al in de moto GP en WSB.

Can we have another shoutout to Joes videography pls !! incredible

I might be biased since I have a S1000RR. BUT, you can't deny how much better it sounds with that screaming inline 4. Also I'm 191cm tall and I'm comfortable on it, it has cruise, heated grips, navi, quick shifter up and down, the list goes on. Brakes are amazing, speed is amazing, handling is out of this world. What's not to like

After reading this months FastBikes magazine it sounds as if they're a lot more changes to the BMW this year than what Neevesy said. Loads of work going on underneath the fairings which isn't mentioned at all

How does the k5 compare? 😅

So why aren't the bm's winning any races? I find it bizarre. Maybe after these updates and the fact they're going less road focused I'd say they might he more competitive next year, wonder if this will hamper their TT efforts

The sound of the BMW is incredible!! Looks sooo good too

The difference in lap times is actually shocking. If he rode them in the order you said then did he try the Ducati again after? Did he know the track well and was he perhaps improving times as he got to know the track? I have the SP2 and it feels better at speed but WOT it’s not so easy. Very surprising result, although I know someone who went from SP2 to RSV4 Factory and was quicker. SP tyres are excellent.

Awesome video as always. I just didn't really get the result. The BMW is faster on track, and it's better for the road, but the Ducati wins?

What r1 honda ect da

I think the testing would have been fairer if your rider rode each bike in tandem, so first test is electronics on: Ducati then BMW, then electrics off, BMW then Ducati. That way the rider who is becoming more confident with the track can be taken into account. The testing method you’ve adopted favours later rides, where if the method was flipped and bmw was tested first, the outcome would have been different in my opinion. Still a good video

S1000RR has been on my list to own for many years now but ive never made it happen...better start saving some pennies and decide what is going to make way!

Outstanding, more videos like this please. The duke is not the fastest anymore 🥶, that bmw 😘

More superbikes and more track lap times? 😁 rsv4factory,gsxrr,r1m,zx10rr,cbr1000rrrsp

Super surprising results tbh

Although not the same I’ve got a 2020 Ducati Streetfighter V4s and whilst away on a trip up to North Yorkshire I was riding spiritedly and following a friend we both entered a corner that was turning back on itself and without cornering ABS I don’t think I would have either made the corner or stayed upright, but the bike just went round lent over with the ABS working with no fuss which left me feeling no panic strangely enough. Btw we as a group are all advanced riders so we know how to read the roads, but even now and then it’s still good to have electronics that are there as a backup and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Great video btw neevesy cheers .

Any news on the next zx10r?

What kind of tires were on the bikes? 😊

I guess "position does not ride" fits this guy pretty good, he's very up all times. What laptimes did you do? What's the difference?

Love it...

i WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT MCN. HOWEVER THIS IS PERFECT REVIEW!!! gET PROFESSIONAL RIDER AND LAP IT.
