2R DRAG RACE HYPERNAKED 2020 

Yea right

Lmao I saw this after watching the video without sub

Oh come ooon...both riders its pro bro

@@zihhadtaufik6816 sure. But each are also different. It’s ok that it’s not a great comparison of actual performance, it’s still interesting.

+1

@@M63Tod No way. A 25 hp less powered bike pawned all the others. Fact.

@@nauatg a lot of uncontrolled variables. You could be down 25hp and win if your weight is low enough and torque and skill and power deliver are good enough. None of it matters though. They are all fast and good and it’s a fun video.

is a RSV4 ...whit 175 cv

Hi, well... yes and no. Please read our commentaries below on the (mutual) influence of the rider (and of the bike)!

It's hard to keep the front end down on the Kawa. You can see a wheelie in almost every race. That took half a second off of the drag time of the Kawa. All bikes are great. Ducati is a notch above if we're comparing in terms of sports naked. ZH2 is better for long rides. KTM is completely nuts. Aprilia and MV Agusta I'm not so intrigued.

Same here. Even if I had an unlimited budget, I'd still take my Tuono 1100 Factory all day, every day.

@@timothy9596 isn't the suzuki Bking better overall?

is it broke as they constantly are

guess why there are no times messured. its italian video and bikes. For real, on low distance its really hard to beat torque. ;)

Is totally relevant and significant of clever engeneering. Put a lot of power and lower weight is not enough. It s good when talking in a bar to play the boss but real quality is somewhere else. Clutch, homogeneity, geometry and balance. Aprilia a discreet queen. contrary of exuberant duc or KTM.

I have a 2019 Supertorque and it's so much fun to ride. Brraap, wheelie.

@@nauatg I have to agree, I'd take an aprilia hands down over a duc or KTM.

Totally agree. While the SDR is definitely not the fastest it is the best street bike out of the bunch. It has the most usable power for the street plus is the most exhilarating to ride. Next up would be the aprilia. The ducati is fast but is rather dull of an experience because it is so tame. If you want the fastest bike your in the wrong category all together.

Tuono is so good as its the one thats ironed out its problems. Its a well proven bike. Long live the iconic v4 1100

Be sure to watch the 2021 edition as well!

Me too. The '16 model is awesome, best sound by the way.

Aprilia fa schifo

Idiotin koran?

@@headsiller4757 stai zitto

MT 10 2021 vai a vedere il video se la mangia l'Aprilia😂

Ma che te frega Chi vince..l estetica la streetfighter non la batte nessuna

lol ducati sf v4s is better...

Federico Ferrari questi sono scemi.... io in giro con la mia GSX S 750 secondo me va già tantissimo x le strade di merda che abbiamo.... queste moto n hanno nessun senso...

Ma infatti... E poi vedo gente che compra missili del genere e non li porta mai in pista.

Infatti, un esempio pratico possono essere la duke 790/890r, street triple rs 765 ed mt 09 che sono "ingestibili" nelle nostre strade e molti hanno anchr paura di non girare con i controlli attivi. Credo che la calleria giusta sia sui 150/160 oppure si arrivarei ai 180 come ktm ma già avere 200cv secondo me è solo spreco di soldi e "salute"

Ciao Gianni, purtroppo abbiamo avuto problemi proprio con la videocamera al traguardo (e in parte anche con il drone). In tutte le altre nostre drag race trovi e troverai il photo finish.

Panigale is shit

@@TheMeridian808 hater?

aprilia has an akrapovic full system.Streetfighter is with the oem exhaust

the bike has a slip on exhaust or a full system..So is stock.And so is faster lol

🤣🤣

Ciao Michele, mandaci la tua formula per calcolare il tempo in accelerazione a partire da kg, CV e coefficiente di penetrazione aerodinamica: noi proviamo ad applicarla, e se funziona ci evitiamo la fatica di organizzare le prossime drag race!

Ahahhshsh

What really you want is 1/4 mile strip + 50 meters so the ducati streefighter will come out on top in this test...lol

@@JoUtan01 Actually in my local drag strip stock tuono 1100 does stable 10.4s 1/4 mile and sub-10s with experienced drag racer. 1/4 mile Numbers on Streetfighter v4 wasn't that impressive so the best I've seen so far is 10.7s Panigale v4 the 1/4mile was 10.1s beside the v2 twin models like 1199 and 1299 which could easily go sub 10s Ducati v4 doesn't do well in 1/4 mile.

Anton Newman - To be expected really, the Street fighter is a naked bike where as the others such as the 1299 are fared and much more slippery at higher speeds.

@@barbieandbellaadventuresby9134 Actually Panigale 1299 faster than Panigale v4 in 1/4mile. 1299 is very capable of 9.6s-9.8s but v4 struggles to go under 10s and pretty much 10.1s is the best. It's just a nature of the Panigale v4 it's peakier and top-end oriented while 1299 got brutal mid-range but not as powerful on the top end as v4. So shorter drag races 1299 is faster especially out of the line. So it's not about the fairings.

The streetfighter actually a limit on how much torque it can put down during the 1-4 gears so the bike won't end up flying,hence why you can almost always see the panigale screeching ached with quite similar specs🙃

Why exactly? These are naked streetbikes. Is it realistic to think that these bikes should be used to jump to hyperspeed and appear in another galaxy, all while cruising in the city, cause these are streetfighters not racebikes. Drag races are the perfect test because they demonstrate what usable power these bikes have. It's just funny fo watch how a present day, horsepower laden Ducati loses to a 10 yr old Tuono, because the Tuono is much better adapfed to the conditions it's marketed for: streetfighting. 😂

A rolling race would be more accurate.

@@Csirkefoga You never do a 400 meter drag race from 0 on the road. A rolling race would be more realistic. You can see that the Ducati catches up, but the track is to short. On a longer track the Ducati would pass the Tuono.

@@jogreen3266 I'll still stick to my comment. Yes You do these kind of races. From one red light to the other. These are NOT track bikes.

@@Csirkefoga These are neither real racing bikes nor city bikes. If you just want do boring short drag races, get a yamaha v-max or BMW K1300 R. With the long wheelbase you will crush all of this bikes in short drag races. All of the bikes in this video are propper sports bikes. They are perfect fore country roads. Don`t know where you are fromm, but in my country you have planty of nice country roads without distractinc traffic lights and all of them are more then 400 meter long. Riding bikes like the Tuono, Ducati or KTM in the city is like driving with a dragster on the nürburgring.

Hi Greg. We do not really get this "intrinsic bike performance" thing that many viewers seem to favor. When you do a drag race you assess in the process the torque amount; torque distribution over the rev line; clutch feeling and behavior; ability of the chassis to use the torque by limiting the wheeling of the bike and the spin of the rear wheel; ability of the electronics package to assist the chassis in doing so... and it's for free! All those aspects are relevant for a rider in a real street (or track) use of its bike, therefore we think the quarter mile drag race is good for the show bur good as well for the evaluation of the bikes. When you do a rolling test - viceversa, and possibly over greater distances - you essentially assess only the sheer power and power distribution of the engine. That's maybe interesting in itself, but we feel that it's a lot less interesting than a drag race from standstill. Even though the rider skills of course kick in - but that's how life goes, after all. But to level off things, in this tournament we drew the rider of each bike in each race - and had the same tyres for every bike, for instance. So while we're always thinking of new formats and tests, it's unlikely that we'll perform rolling starts. We hope you will keep following us nevertheless!

@@dueruote A drag race from a rolling start still tests all those things you listed it just removes the variable of the rider getting a good launch and "winning" the race. If a rider gets a better launch than the other how is that testing the performance of the bike? A perfect example is the tuono beating the street fighter, the tuono has inferior electronics and is down on power, the only reason it won was because of a good start by the rider.

That's an interesting point. We believe that there is no such thing as "intrinsic bike performance" as the influence of the rider (its weight, size, the way he moves forwards or backwards, the way he pulls the handlebar and so on) is never negligible. Not even in a rolling start test. The performance ALWAYS comes from the combination bike+rider - we have clear evidence of this on any race Sunday in MotoGP - and that is why we love motorcycles so much. The Tuono V4 is second to none in terms of electronics and we do not see why you assume it is inferior to the Streetfighter V4, or that our testers purposedly let the Aprilia win. The Tuono won because it has a better clutch feeling and makes it easier to pull a great start than the Streetfighter does. Additionally this was a tournament, meaning that to consistently get good starts is better rewarded than to get one exceptionally good start any two or three mediocre starts. It is not the rider who decided to start better with the Aprilia; rather, the Aprilia does a wonderful job in putting the rider at ease in any run: once again, it is the combination bike+rider that wins, and in a quarter mile drag race you most probably end up wanting to be the rider on that bike - even if the Ducati comes really close, and would surely win a 500 m drag race. Unfortunately, the 1/4 mile is a standard race and we do not want to set up arbitrary rules just to have a different winner!

@@bobaslavefett111 typical ducati owner cannot except the result, why dont we make the drag strip further than 1/4 mile, until the ducati streetfighter wins ..lol

@@JoUtan01 No I just like seeing what the bike can do not the rider. I actually own the 2020 super duke.

😉

Hi Patrick, it's not just you... if you have the patience to scroll down the comments, we have discussed this topic again and again (and again)!

The two testers are specialized in instrumental measurements and are able to repeat very similar performances;-) Keep following us🤙🏼

The gap between the zh2 (its best lauch) and sdr is much greater than the SF and sdr. Give that zh2 a good launch and itl beat all these no matter the distance or skill of rider.

Ciao Max, sì la prima Drag Race l'avevamo inserita nel nostro TG ma ora la pubblichiamo in forma autonoma perché farà parte di una serie di sfide sul quarto di miglio che stiamo organizzando (avrai già visto la seconda, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vXsbmwT2aLQ.html). Quanto alla prova, Aprilia non perde con Kawasaki ma pareggia, e comunque non si può applicare la proprietà transitiva ai risultati perché ogni gara fa storia a sé. Abbiamo scelto la formula del torneo proprio per evidenziare la ripetibilità della prestazione, altrimenti sarebbe bastato misurare il tempo migliore su 3 partenze (cosa che peraltro abbiamo fatto). Quindi sono state premiate le moto con cui è mediamente più facile realizzare una buona partenza. Ducati recupera molto su Aprilia perché ha oltre 30 CV in più, rapporti più lunghi ma uno stacco frizione meno sensibile, quindi parte peggio e poi recupera. In generale ogni moto ha una curva di accelerazione diversa, e qui sta il bello della prova!

L'h2 con cento metri in piu di strada secondo me potrebbe vincere

@@mariostefano8661 molto probabile..... Però.... in tutto il mondo, da sempre, le gare di accelerazione si fanno sui 402 mt o 1/4 di miglio ... quello conta

Exactly. Bet given the best 5 runs of each the zh2 will be the quickest. Even if it was 1/2 mile.

you don't buy an MV to be the fastest though.. MV's are more of a status symbol, a collectors item, for the connoisseur that only rides bikes like a sommelier only drinks the finest wines

You have in in our 2023 edition of the Drag Race!

Te credo che non se ne vendono. O sei ricco o non ti ci avvicini.

@@ELVIS74 Vedi che nelle classifiche delle prime cento moto più vendute in Italia ci sono moto come la StreetfighterV4 tra le prime 30 e la SuperdukeR 1290 tra le prime 50. Tra le pime 30 ci sono anche Panigale V4 e la prima in assoluto la BMW GS, oltre 20mila euro di moto. In queste prime 100 neanche un modello Aprilia, non una Tuono, non una RSV4, neanche una Shiver da 8000 euro. Evidentemente quest'Aprila avrà qualche serio problema....

@@armandopiccirillo8753 si che la gente di moto non capisce un cazzo, quello è il problema di Aprilia. La, rete di vendita e assistenza non è capillare come quella ducati, ktm ecc ma aprilia le moto sa farle. Rsv old migliore del 996,rsv new migliore del 999,rsv4 migliore supersportiva da anni (un progetto del 2009 che ancora tiene testa alla concorrenza) ...e le tuono idem..e adesso esce il 660 che per 10.000 euro offre tanta qualità. Ducati con 10.000 euro ti da un cazzo...con questo non sminuisco ducati e ktm che sono tra i miei marchi preferiti ma che le aprilia non si vendono perché non vanno bene è una stronzata. Semplicemente ducati, ktm, bmw sono marchi visti come status symbol, aprilia no.

@@ciuffoarancione8929 Io non credo che la gene non ne capisce di moto.Non puoi pretendere di vendere moto come una RSV4 e poi farmi rivolgere all'assistenza Piaggio per la manutenzione e per di più non hai i ricambi. Per moto un po' più datate, come la RSV, non produci più i ricambi mentre Honda, per fare un esempio, ha disponibili ancora i ricambi per le moto anni '80. L'Aprilia vorrebbe solo venderle le moto e poi, cliente e venditore, ognuno per la sua strada, non è così che si fà! Poi , migliore di Ducati...non farmi ridere, almeno Ducati rappresenta competizione ad alto livello con ottimi risultati, Aprilia tentativi e rotture di motori e piloti a piedi, le vittorie ormai se le ricorda mio nonno.

@@armandopiccirillo8753 si perché ducati ti vende la moto con cui ha vinto bayliss, stoner ecc..eccolo il ragionamento da italiano medio. L'rsv4 nel 2009 quando è uscita ha spaccato il culo a tutti. Era avanti di 10 anni e lo dimostra il fatto che quel progetto ancora oggi va avanti. Concordo sull'assistenza pietosa. Ma uno che spende 20.000 euro per una moto dubito si faccia il problema dei pezzi di ricambio tra 15 anni. Avrà già una moto nuova di pacca da 25.000 euro. La verità è che nel 2020 se vuoi la miglior naked sportiva la tuono v4 è la scelta. Altrimenti restando su potenze umane street triple rs. L'Aprilia vince le comparative da una vita. Tutti pagati? Ducati paga meno di Aprilia? Ne dubito...vogliamo parlare della componentistica che aprilia ti molla sulla rs 660 da 10.000 euro? Ducati a quel prezzo ti da la scrambler con una forca del cazzo e un motore che fa ridere i polli. Non parliamo dei vecchi monster poi. Eppure vende. Perché? Status symbol. E ripeto, ducati è un marchio che mi piace perché fa ottime moto e anche belle. Ma aprilia nella sostanza non è da meno sulle moto top di gamma, anzi..no ma poi davvero stiam parlando di scegliere la moto in base alla classifica di vendite? Porco giuda che pena...

Superduke would be higher for sûre. At least above zh2. But Tuono would still win.. it is the best naked.

@@siegfriedz8211 but objectively the ugliest of the bunch tbh

@@Ivan-bg1jp how it looks is everything except objective. See, for me it is the best looking of the bunch, even the old one like in this vidéo.

Sorry but we do not get your point. Every single race is different and this is a tournament, so it can happen that different races have different outcomes if the two bikes are tied in performance. Yet the Tuono has been the most consistent, while the Z H2 has a lot of raw power but its electronics does not fully come to terms with it. The ability to convert torque into acceleration is the result of the combination of good chassis + good electronics, and the Aprilia has shown to have the best overall package, altough its engine is less powerful. "If it didn't wheel up" simply is not what it has happened.

@@dueruote I also don't get your point. You can see with better management, the wheels didn't go up. You didn't have any electronics upgrade in-between rides, only an improvement in technique. It seems that you are blaming the motorcycle for the lack of technique of your rider. How would it be a fair comparison between the bikes if the rider component is vastly different between each race. Put a beginner on the Aprilla, and put a professional on the Duke, I'm sure you can guess who would win.

Well, we drew straws on each race between our two guys, more or less equally apt in starts. They are both senior testers, of course you cannot rule out the human factor, but a lot of criticism has come from people who do believe in "intrinsic bike performance". There is no such thing unless you would love to live in a future fully ruled by machines (and still). The performance of the bike comes from a combination of sheer power, chassis, electronics, clutch behavior AND the way it all translates into feedback/feeling for the rider. The Tuono has won our race because it is largely better than any other in putting the rider at ease each time, making it simple to pull a good start. This is of capital importance in a tournament, whereas the Z H2 is one of the most difficult bikes to launch because of its tencency to wheel up. You are asking if without this tendency, or in that single, perfect launch out of 100 the Z H2 would win over any other bike? Probably so. But life - and races - are also made of the other 99 starts, and you cannot expect that anyone else waits for that perfect performance. The Tuono launches nearly perfect each time, with ease, and that's why it won. Imagine you are racing with your friends on an airport lane on a single run: if you had some experience of all these bikes, we're pretty sure that you would end up wanting to be on a Tuono, even if the some other bike is hypotetically faster.

Yes we noticed. Its willingness to fly its precisely the reason why it did not win: when launching, it's constantly pointing its front end to the sky.

The zh2 was pretty much the quickest bike here. So ur saying "any 600" will beat all these bikes? What planet u living on? Bking will never beat the zh2..zzr1400 is on par acceleration wise t the zh2..that has aero. Forget the bking..

@@M4rkmcc21 I own a Z H2 (unlike you I guess?). I have also owned a B-King and ridden/tested numerous powerful bikes. I do real life testing 0-100, 0-200, 1/4mile etc using the same equipment as "serious" testers. The Z H2 is very bad (stock) from 0-100. A good rider will get about 3.5sec from 0-100. From 100-200 it shines and will be on par with the fastest naked and even RR-models. The "old" S1000R will beat it hands down in 0-100 and 0-200 even if it has 30+HP less. Why? Because you will need to do serious mods with the Z H2 to get the power used for forward momentum(acceleration) and not doing wheelies (even in 4th on a cold day) :) The ECU will even in "sport" mode pull out timing and shut down the EV so the max G stays (in average) around 0.85 which if you do your math.. equals 0-100 in 3.5. Most decent 600cc bikes will also do that.. but the rider can give full throttle and not worry about flipping the bike. :)

@@TL1000S97 currently own a zh2 and a 19 tuono factory. Iv owned the 2020sdr and ridden the SF. By no means is the zh2 "slow" 0-100. Its one of if not the quickest bike here to the 1/4 on a good launch. Granted the bking can get a great 1/4mile but acceleration terms the zh2 has it licked. My zh2 can keep up with a zzr1400 and the owner of the zzr1400 admits its quicker than his old bking. Problem is the street triple will not annihilate the zh2 0-100. Either ur on looney land or ur choice of words for "slow" and "annihilate" are incorrect. Next time u race a street triple modulate ur throttle/clutch better to pass the little 115bhp bike.

​@@M4rkmcc21 I am pretty sure the experienced tester Motorrad uses for their performance tests is *way more* competent than most keyboard warriors here :) I am just a bit obsessed with drag race/acceleration tests and I have equaled his result for 0-100 and 0-200 in my tests (VBox Sport/Dragy). If you do some research you will see that the Z H2 is not particular fast off the line/0-100km/h. It is mostly due to geometry and some due to gearing. The best results will be with "Rider" and TC=off. I am very happy with my Z H2 and it is a very fast and powerful bike, but still "hampered" with the derestricting in the ECU. This bike should not be derestricted and personally I can not get enough power. A ZZR1400 is much faster (and a lot easier) to launch/accelerate "on the strip" (or street). It is a reason why it is used by the best in the super stock class. It is very good for acceleration *stock*. The Z H2 will surely whop a ZZR1400 lowered/extended swingarm and with the restrictions removed in the ECU. Stock any fast 600 (street triple for example) will beat it from 0-100. Even a GSF1250 will easily beat it to 100km/h.. but then it is bye-bye of course. If you know anything about drag racing you will know that 0.5sec off from 0-100km/h is an eternity. I have lots of runs stored from testing my bikes (Race Logic sw/GPS data logs) and the Z H2 shines from about 180km/h even compared to my 1441cc 200+hp B-King. From 0-100/150 the B-King/GSX1000 just "kill it" (and they are plain easy to launch in comparison).

@@TL1000S97 "keyboard warrior" think I'm talking to one!! 🤣

Yes Anton, that's because we chose to only have 5 bikes in this running. But be sure that next year we'll have the MY21 S1000R included!
