How come you didn't crash test all the bikes for fairness?

"Don't go out and try it, it's uncrashable" *cue the music*

This is just the best bike content literally ever produced.

"The BMW is the Cheapest Bike with Carbon Wheels"...😐 *words I thought would never be used in a sentence*

To those asking about the V4R, Ducati won’t let anyone do a comparison test with it

Crashing a bike to promote the sponsor? Now that’s dedication! 😇

I might say this video came out at a perfect time, just parked my Kawasaki Z900 after faffing around the smallish roads for a few hours. Had my first beer for the week and poff this video came out! The timing was PERFECT!

I love how the lights of the Honda are constantly flashing, as if it's a rabid dog screaming and going mental into the corners.

OMG, I was not expecting a crash... Great video and amazing content you 2. PS, I remember during the RSV4 and S1000RR comparison video one of you guys said “ You’d have to be an absolute wonker to crash one of these things.” 😂. Spoke too soon, happens to us all. Thanks for the review! 🤙

Love ALs comments on Ze German: “It’s so easy, it’s so easy, my nan could ride this fast” Chris “*crashes*”

Please try the Honda again with the ECU/exhaust HRC package, it would be very interesting to see the difference 👍

Soooo, you crashed the uncrashable bike, you broke the Honda’s gearbox, caused an engine management failure on the Ducati, ran the Yamaha through the gravel because it’s brakes are useless....... I wonder who’s going to lend you their bikes next year !! 😂🤣 but on the flip side the Aprilia posted the fastest lap time, and ran faultlessly - even with it’s 11 year old basic design (evolution baby!) god bless those Italians ! My personal choice would be the Ducati .... to sit next to my 2019 RSV4 1100 Factory 😎😎 Great video guys, I love Portimao, you definitely smashed it 👍👍

Chris: It's pretty much uncrashable! Also Chris: proceeds to crash 😂😂

The dreaded bump on turn 4 claims another victim ! Happens to the best of em mate !

Got to use the BeMoto finally ehh?! Was this the “uncrashable” bike?

definitely going to get some S22's next. Advertising clearly works, especially when I'm too lazy to research.

Damn, that Aprilia laptime is mighty impressive! Faster than a McLaren P1 on sticky P Zero Corsas, driven by Chris Harris (who is no slouch).

Now it's time for 2020 mega test between the supernakeds : KTM 1290 Super Duke R VS Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 VS Ducati Street Fighter V4 VS Kawasaki Z H2 VS MV Agusta Brutale 1000RR VS Triumph Speed Triple 1200RS VS Yamaha MT 10 VS BMW S1000R

Honda, because this inline 4 engine sound is mental. I have never heared other inline 4 engine sound this good.

What a week that must've been for you guys. Hopefully not a once in a lifetime experience, but even if, these memories will last. The sun, the lads, that track and those bikes. Doesn't get any better, does it? Thanks for everything you do. It's well appreciated.

I love that we get over an hour here. We really get into the details of every bike. LOVE IT! 💖💖💖👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

"Nice, that's the infamous corner from WSBK! Good, he's taking it nice and eas... Oh noooo" That made me jump

Awesome vid. You guys are putting out solid content that most other channels aren't even coming close to. The banter, the on point knowledge, the editing, the flow of it all, the passion. Really good video guys, I love watching these :)

I've ridden the M1000RR on track and the bike is truly amazing. So easy to go fast, it feels like a Playstation game when you are riding it. Point a direction - it just goes. Power delivery is amazing but it doesn't scare you until you make a small mistake and at that point, you realize how fast you are actually going. Ergonomics are spot-on, brakes, electronics, chassis, it's all there

Although I will agree with the bmw being the best think I will always choose the aprilia purely for the character, o and the noise nothing beats that.

Thanks for producing such great content, I've watched this twice in a row and know I'll probably watch it again. Cheers!

You boys have really done an amazing job here! Both of these videos are incredible and you're truly worthy of a TV slot!

Amazing comparison, as always! I would love some more 600cc content in the future, perhaps ZX6R vs R6 vs 2021 CBR600RR?

literally said to myself this morning that I could really use another 44t video. perfecto!

Great review guys, thank you for putting all the time and effort to make two great video’s.

I’ve looking forward to this so much! Awesome work as always lads! Truly the Top Gear of the Motorcycle bizz

Wow! Been waiting for the second part and you guys definitely didn't disappoint! As for the bikes, I personally feel the S1000RR is probably the best all-rounder like you guys mentioned. I was lucky enough to ride it at a racetrack for a good hour or so, and while I absolutely loved it, it felt a little too clinical - a bit short on emotions. I mean, the first-gen S1000RR was my 'hero' bike while growing up, but I never got to ride it. So when I got the opportunity to ride this new one, I was expecting it to be a violent and brash alien...but it felt a bit too Japanese, ZX10R-esque. It was a classic case of 'never meet your heroes' for me, or so I felt. ...or maybe it was down to the fact that I had ridden the old Panigale V4 at the very same track a couple of months before riding the new Beemer. The Ducati felt raw and more alive. It was harder to ride but it felt a bit more engaging. Plus, I felt the brakes on the S1000RR were nowhere near as strong as they're on the V4. All told, I felt the V4 was the more memorable motorcycle of the two. I had high expectations from Honda, but seems there are a couple of things wrong with it. But because you say it's the new Panigale and harder to ride (they shouldn't have taken Marquez' inputs, perhaps?), I feel it could be an entertaining motorcycle in the long run. Something that constantly challenges you to up your game. So, if I had that kinda money to splurge on a litre-class motorcycle, I'd probably opt for the Honda or Ducati.

I'd still buy the RSV4

Love this video gents, so much I’ve watched it multiple times! I appreciate all the hard work put into this series, and keep the videos coming

Growing up lads! That's the best group test you've done and the best I've seen on RU-vid..thank you!

You boys are living the dream 🙌 absolutely loved this test!! Gutting to see the beemer go down 😭 glad you're all right though!

I live in Spain so completely agree with your comments on the heat, between June and September it’s bloody hot! Regularly in the mid 40’s 🔥it’s difficult to do ANYTHING other than beer or pool.

amazing upload guys - much respect for showing everything that happened including the crash. Absolutely first class video, thanks guys!

This is truly excellent. Love the tests and BBBs. Thanks for all of it.

Waited nearly an hour for the track times and someone stuck a puppy on the screen. Missed them. 🤦‍♂️ awesome review guys. Made my week. 👏👏

Can we get a review of the crash? Another excuse for a short video. what happened lol 😊

30 seconds in and I already know this is going to be one of the best bike-related videos I'm going to see all year...

I've SO been looking forwards to this after seeing the road test portion!

With the R1. It's Purely the pads. Everything else is good.

How does this channel not have 500k subs yet?? Best bike content on RU-vid

I Love this MegaTest!! The music in the beginning is wicked. Thank U Chris, Al, James and sponsors. Do it again please 💪🏻

Best work you have done fellas! Thanks for the videos and banter. Ride safe....

8:03 Me (and I think everyone else): NOOOOO 💔 Glad you’re alright Chris.

15:58 "If you've got a foot sizer than a large 9" Think Chris might have banged his head. 😂

Nice, boys... nice! You’ve smashed it out of the autodrome again!! I’m so jealous. Sat here recovering from spinal surgery, watching you hooners larking about in Portugal, with never ending slicks. Beautiful. Thanks fellas, keep it coming!!

love your content, such good story telling and humor. Miles ahead of the competition. Keep up the good work. One word, benchmark.

James is such a GOD, he has a calf on BOTH sides of his left leg

day by day iam more convinced that my yamaha R1 with straight lines and an exhaust is still one of the best bikes out there and definitely most reliable. "knock on wood"

Good job guys !! Great test. Just keep it up. I enjoy watching your videos

Thanks! Your camera and production work is the stuff of the movies! 👍

The Aprilia sounds amazing in the video.

You guys are doing a number on my hemorrhoids. Worth it.

Fantastic work guys, from JHS behind the scenes to the editing, great content. Thank you.

I've been waiting for this video. Very entertaining as always, and welcome to my country guys!

Love the vid! Would be interesting to know what bike is the best when in track spec (rearsets, exhaust etc) but great job lads!!!

Wow that Honda is incredible! what an insane Bike. Love it!!

Obrigado to you guys for showing our beautiful track ! Much LOVE 44Teeth!

What a life you guys lead! Lucky as hell. Keep this cracking content coming boys 🤙🏽

Missing out on the September NL Portimao trip due to lockdown, this made it even worse seeing you lads tip it down the hill onto the start finish straight...🙈☺️ but loved the “my gran could ride this fast - and she has corona” comment👍🏻 keep up the great work!

Yes but how do they compare to a 2005 gsxr on slicks

Phenomenal work lads awesome video just quality through and through!

It’s not often I’ll watch a RU-vid video for more than 20 mins but this mega test has been superb. Even all the B shots have been edited better, the whole package seems a big step on, honestly it must have taken a long time to put together but really well done. As for the bikes, I’ll take the sound of the Honda ( how does an in-line sound so good.), the excitement of the Aprilia, the practicality of the BMW with the looks of the Ducati.

Could we get some close up shots of the post-crash RST gear? I'm really interested to see how it all fared.

I mean, why a bike without real lap times won the shootout? By pure perception? Didn't you guys said the panigale felt quicker than the Honda and Yamaha and however was slower?

Excellent production, very entertaining and funny, interesting, you have one of the best bike review shows RU-vid has. Well done and thank you.

Wonderful video. Got a real sense of the character of these beasts on the track. Amazing production, great commentary and summary. One of the best moto videos I have watched. Bravo.

Nice review, cheers 44Teath. Is there going to be one for the mid range bikes? Think I would still take the Aprilia

First! Well done, waited so long for this. Thank you guys!

Fab made my day after a shity long hard day at work, love how you did a bike and track of the best bikes in the Med. Keep it up boys and here’s to 2021 👍💪

Possibly the finest double episode review ever made.... stunning work. Thankyou. Sincerely.

Was it only me or did anyone else also think that the bmw was moving around a lot before the crash happened 🤔

Brilliant, well done review.

That looked super fun! Really enjoyed the video thoroughly! Keep up the good work!

Great job guys. Good on you Chris jumping right back and riding after your off 👍👍💪

I wanna see some cross platform reviews. Show that even a different "style" of bike doesn't mean you can't be just as quick but perhaps fit your style of riding better. I just feel like sometimes we get so focused on Superbikes and Supersports that we forget some bikes that redefine their class and could even be considered something more unique. A couple examples would be the new KTM 1290 SuperDuke and even the often forgotten Yamaha VMaxx...both these bikes are freaks to their own class but offer so much more. Liven up the reviews.

"It's so easy, my gran could ride this fast..... and she's got covid" best i've heard really gave me a laugh

Now for my 2 favourite things combination on Saturday morning. 44 teeth plus french toast and a tea. Thank you boys! And thanks to James for his hard work!

I’m seeping with excitement for this - thanks lads!

My 2020 M Sport RR shat it's cylinder 3 coil pack out in 5,000 miles. Carbon wheels haven't exploded just yet though.

Having been to Portimao twice myself, I do remember a slight bump in the tarmac on the way into the left hander (Turn 5?) where Chris crashed the Bimmer ... was this the reason for losing the front? or as Casey Stoner once said ..... :-)

By far the best motorcycle channel on RU-vid, funny af, informative, just makes you wanna get out on the bike

Firstly, great test, as always. Secondly, with your constant sponsorship from Bridgestone and the way you talk about those tires, you've convinced me to go grab the S22s as the next set on my bike.

incredible. everyone make sure you click on the bitly link in the description so BOTB will sponsor another on of these epics

Soft Ducati, Cheapest BMW - 2020 is indeed very strange year :)))

Best bike reviews online, period. Too many toys to afford one of these, but that RSV4 makes things tingle.

Y'all are the best ! ! ! Great content continues, what a video . . . Surprised my V4S didn't have a better lap time . . .

I seem to remember someone saying ‘you can’t crash the bmw’ 🤔

James...what a trooper 👊👍

Great review of all the top bikes - enjoyed that - thanks.

Epic production on this guys, an awful lot of work gone into 67min of quality footage like this. Well done and thankyou very much

Last time I was this early I found my ex was cheating on me.

Sure the BMW is nice, but it's seriously lacking a windscreen wiper!

Fair play. Superb couple of videos. You deserve the fun for how much effort this has taken. Played

That is quite simply a superb video. Comprehensive, well-made, informative, very funny. I can't believe I get so much usefulness and entertainment for free. Thanks guys! You are the best by some margin.
