As a Ducati owner, if I had to commute 60 miles for work on my bike, I'd pick the Yamaha. My 1100 is temperamental in water and cold weather. I love it but it's a 'relationship' with my Ducati more than it is a 'I own you, you are my motorcycle and will do what I say' type of thing.
@@brandondacome1012 I remember when they did their first sound test on it and the nextdoor neighbors came over and asked them to keep it down 🤣 what an insane machine
The 17-21 MT10 can be had for a bargain ($8-9k) which is pretty wild for how much bike you get. That plus the reliability and Yamaha's 20 year / 100k mile engine warranty (if you use Yamalube for the engine oil) makes the MT a pretty compelling package.
@@wwfww They changed the gearing to prioritize fuel economy over acceleration which I think was a bad move (who cares about fuel economy on a hyper naked bike??). But the good news is that it can be easily remedied with a rear sprocket change.
I started my motorcycle career on a 2014 FZ09 and I traded it in for a Streetfighter V4S in 2021. I have ridden a demo MT10 and I have to say the Ducati definitely feels much more premium. Also above 10k rpm the Streetfighter is a savage beast.
I wish he gave more opinions on what he feels/likes/dislikes between the two bikes and who should buy them/which is worth buying under what conditions etc.
How do you compare these two bikes ? SF v4 50+ hp and $ 9k+; price difference As a SF V2 owner that would of been a much better comparison . maybe the tital should of been DO you feel inferior on your MT 10 after riding the SF V4 .
The mt10 was very comfortable when i rode it and decently fast. The streetfighter pretty light, nimble as hell and faster than fuck when i rode it. They both are better at different things. I like the look of the streetfighter better but id probably buy the mt10 as a more utilitarian rider.
I had the chance to compare these two bike during summer and I had the feeling that the Streetfighter way to ambitious for twisty, narrow, puplic roads. The Mt10 felt much more accessible and versatile.
I'd love to see Yammie ride a discord owners Kawasaki Concours14 (2012-2022) with a flashed ECU from Ivan or Steve and other goodies! Power wheelie up the front tire on a 700lbs monster will surprise him! 🤣
It’s funny to hear a new rider complaining about heated grips. When I learned to ride, that tech didn’t even exist, Spoiled! That street fighter is a beast
I go back to the 72 XS2, and up to the 277 home made 750 cc bikes and you could do nothing more than pull the crank apart and move one forward 3 splines and have a 20 ton press and tig it . rebalance it and rephrase the XS2 cam and go and I’m happy.
I like my hypermotard. Plenty of faster bikes and cheaper bikes, but hard to imaging a more fun one, and I have tried many bikes and brands. Also it’s great for a weak back!
It never ceases to amaze me how irresponsible the laws are in regards to new riders getting access to such high powered motorcycles. Australian laws have had requirements to have lower powered bikes for your first year for over 20 years to stop people from killing themselves
I’ve had a MT10SP and now I’ve got a Ducati SF V4S, I loved the Yamaha but the SF in my opinion is on a different level, build quality is on another level and the electronic suspension/chassis for me is better also. With the Yamaha if I overtook a car you never quite knew if it was going to wheelie or not, fine if you like that sort of thing, me I’d rather just get past and with the Ducati it’s much more predictable and goes like a rocket when you want it to 👍 and it just looks fantastic.
I’m curious how you would enjoy or not enjoy a new Buell 1190rx or hammerhead. Nothing stupendous, it’s an ok bike bike. Not stock though. Find one with a Dean Adams upgraded exhaust and a matching IDS ecm. That’s it. Just wanna hear your thoughts on it. So many people hate it. Very few of us Americans, love the American 🇺🇸 sport bike.
I went from an fz1 bare bone built bike to an Mt 10 1 cuz of the sound right. Somewhat familiarity. I didn't think the Suzuki or Kawasaki or Hondas we're as cool. I like the led running lights. I got black was told it looks like the bat bike lmao. But overall it was a powerful bike that I love the tc on because I can actually go a lot faster and get better launches with wc on as well. Typically I ride tc 1 and wc 3 though. Up to 145 which is about what I'd hit on the fz1 but the fz1 was sketch on Metzler rear and battle-ax front. My one complaint about the Mt10 is the air intakes scoop up too much air making cornering a little awkward at first or on windy days. overall I think the platform has a lot of modifying capability. Personally I like the regular adjustable suspension as well as what crossplanes are capable of especially the Yamaha. I think I'll do a rear extension for stability, exhaust, bigger windshield, and that would be good as well as a 100mph first gear because 80 comes too quick. Otherwise if I really wanted to compete with higher end bikes I'd just turbo it.
Specs aren't close. Sf will destroy the mt10 in a straight line but! For what the sf is? i think it's a little too ambitious. Mt10 felt more natural. You have to test ride both of them yourself. That kind of power doesn't belong in a naked bike. (Edit) my bad! You're asking about the v2. I haven't tried the v2 but i reckon it's gonna be slower but better. I'm pretty sure with 2 bigger pistons rather than 4 smaller ones, torque is gonna be where it needs to be and power is... Least to be desired but you don't really need too much power on a naked bike.
@r.i.p2464 are you still using this email id like to ask some questions i want to buy my first bike and i dont know much about them. what is an affordable ducati to buy?
Nope... It doesn't even come close in power and torque of the Mt10, not to mention the V4Pani. Worse, under 5000rpm it is sluggish, lagging power and torque, and vibrating the sh!t out of you.
@@pbofan that makes no sense. So what, you compare royal enfield's biggest bike to kawasaki biggest bike? A H2 vs some boneville copy? No, the price point is an important factor and the ducati is literally twice the price of the mt-10, so more apples to melons.
@@szaesz8190 Sure the MT has more power and torque and will beat the SFV2 on a straight line, but the SFV2 is lighter and more agile, so it will beat the MT on curvy roads.
It's not "Highlighter Yellow" it's Chartreuse. Respectfully -Guy who works in the color industry. It's probably my favorite color, and deserves the respect of being called by its real name.
There is no problem with the MT-10. I can’t go wrong with it. The bike is great. But the Streetfighter is just next level shit. As simple as that, in my opinion, of course…
I love Aprilia's v4 sound! In my opinion it's the best sounding 4 cylinder bike engine on the planet but i really hate bikes with fairings. The tuono... Ugh. Man i mean, it doesn't look any different than their super sports.
It’s like comparing Toyota with an Ferrari. I got my 2020 MT10 this summer. Started with decat and flashed the ECU. It’s a monster. You can’t get more bang for the buck. BUT yesterday I went by the Ducati shop to look on a MV. A V4 S with carbon Akra, flashed ECU, and lots of goodies from the Ducati race department was waiting for me… Now it’s up to the wife (probably no Ducati this year)
But as standard, they are very different bikes. MT-09 is jumpy, fairly quiet and feels super reliable. Streetfighter is very stable, refined, beautiful and so much better to look at. Definitely very noisy even as standard.
Torque over powa all day every day. To each their own of course. BTW, like most modern motorcycles, both look shite from the front. Retro is soooooo much better.
I loved GSX1000S more than CB1000R and MT10 (all stock) 2022 models (well MT10 was looking like brandon one, so maybe not the latest, as it was in february). That said, it was also because of stock sound, and aesthetic. But MT10 was fun. Now a buddy bought newest tuono V4 2022, so i gotta let him ride it a bit before asking to steal it for a joyride :p but that will happen for sure XD And that said, for road and all, i felt like all of them were too much for here in europe. I mean, sure you can play hide and seek with cops, but you are still barely using the bike fully. And i rather get maybe a smaller one like Tuono 660, GSX8S, CB650R... I rode MT07, CB650, duke 890 (not gp one just 100hp one), Street triple R, and Tuono 660.. and i felt way more playfull and using more bike without beeing frustrated. And also, they are a lot cheaper to use, ensure and maintain wich is something, that should be accounted for. TBH, i was hoping for a mini GSX1000, suzuki delivered and i can't wait to try it and who knows, replace/complete my yamaha Fazer 600S1 :)
America is Crazy! A rider for 7 months and he's straight away on a superbike. Motorcycle deaths in USA average about 5000/year (Thousands). In the UK that average is about 300/year(Hundreds). So you have 5 times the population - that still makes you more than 3 times as likely to die than in the Uk. I wonder why? Madness. Do you all think you're superheroes who don't need learn how to handle such crazy deathtraps. Perhaps you should practice and learn on something a bit less likely to kill you for a while first.
Unfortunately that's the culture here. And when you try to tell someone like this guy that he needs to start small, you get a slew of people crying about "FREEDOM" when they can't even do a proper U Turn without duck walking their bike. Then when they lose a leg or just straight up die because they chose to be an idiot, the negative effect on how people view motorcycles is exponential. Yammie needs to stop giving these morons a platform.
I just Rode my 08 Fz1 from Houston to San Antonio Today… Great Ride I wonder 🧐 if I’d Gaptize an Mt-10 I’ve been 168 on her in “Mexico” so who knows. I Love Duck 🦆 But Price and upkeep Not for me.
I dunno, being a complete reckless moron, the winglets are a good and can be felt even at lower speeds.... One with and one without, you will feel a change in how light the front is and how hard it is to change directions.... But hell, those are spidey senses, and while riding a bike like a sane person, winglets won't do anything.... But you can feel them from even lower than 60mph... I'd go for an V4S, but that's because the MT10 looks really bad
both sound very nice streetfighter much stronger topend for which neeed higher rpm up to 8-9 k rpm both go head to head above 10 k its game over for mt10 which is leave in the dust 👌🏻 more sufisticated electronique suspension etc in streetfighter overall both worth the money 👌🏻 from this class as 1 bike on road i choice none of those 2 👌🏻😁 i prefer more displacement more torq lower rpm ktm 1290 whoch is true master of torq in this class where mt10 is fake master of torq 😉 but streetfighter still beat 1290 on the track 👌🏻 cos like we all know true king of performance is power 🥳🌪
Your comparing 208hp to 160hp lmao, of course the SFV4S is faster and better suspension but can’t go wrong with either bike… I would have to track the SFV4S or else I feel like I’m wasting my money riding around in 2nd & 3rd on the street 🤦🏾♂️
