Yamaha YZF-R1 vs. Aprilia RSV4 RR vs. Suzuki GSX-R1000 vs. Honda CBR1000RR On The Street Review 

Yamaha YZF-R1 1:15 Suzuki GSX-R1000 4:10 Aprilia RSV4 RR 7:26 Honda CBR1000RR 10:25

Done seen 3 or 4 of these shootouts and so far the Aprilia has won, the R1 has won, the BMW has won, and the CBR has won. Basically, you can’t go wrong with any of these. Find one that you like and that’s the end of it. Happy riding.

Best performance bike: R1 Best comfort: GSXR Fastest bike: Aprilia Best all around bike: CBR

Great video! As a car mechanic and non-bike guy I learnt a lot. Kudos to the production team too!

its really the absolute first time i hear someone say that is hard to adjust the traction control in the aprilia, its had those 2 paddles perfectly placed for your left index and thumb (thumb +1 index -1) since 2010, on the fly, no need to change ride modes or enter any menu, if you feel slippiness you press your thumb, if you feel the tc too early you press with your index. easiest fastest TC controls EVER

With Kawasaki dominating world Superbike for quite a while in the last decade, any comparison without the ZX10R is crazy

Can't beat Yamaha fit and finish...some of the nicest machines in the world

There's no losers in this pack. Each bike can be the best in another measure, if that's price, comfort, performance, or looks. It's mind blowing how truly excellent each bike here is. I want them all!

Not fair for Suzuki , why did not tested the R version with all the electronics , autobliper, quick shifter, traction control, abs, cornering abs...etc....

i have r1 2018, i`m still happy to see all people like it... it´s amazing superbike a one dream make it real

Sounds like the CBR is the best street bike for normal riders like myself. User friendly, good ergos, responsive handling and light. 150 hp is plenty and it looks great with the usual quality honda fit and finish

I respect your assessment on these vehicles. The Yamaha R1 really seems like the bike to beat, but my heart really just loves the aesthetics of the Honda CBR1000RR

I am in love with CBR 1000rr

Motorcycles are awesome.

Used to be a Honda man, BUT that R1 is a beast. Even looks wicked!

U guys are comparing top models and use a gsxr base model why didnt u guys grabbed the r version that bike is known already for making every other brand look inferior the r version is very different that the base model

Spot on. I couldn't make up my mind, so I got an R1 for the track and an RSV4 for the streets.

we have a huge Honda dealership here where i live and really none of the other companies, so it's good to see that the cbr does so well...a cbr1000rr and an Africa Trail bike will make good additions to my vtx

The denim vest over the dainese leather looks pretty slick, not gonna lie

Aprillia is killin it this year! Each and every channel has voted Aprillia (either the RSV4 or Tuono) as the best of the bunch!

Yamaha R1 and comfort dont go hand in hand. You will be uncomfortable on that bike within 15mins or riding it. Wrists mainly. Superb bike though, I have two.

Hey guys, really a fan of all the bikes here just a question, with regards to the Honda, would a slip on and a power commander fix the mid range lack of power on exiting corners?

Can't take their comments too seriously when they're sharing the same pair of sunglasses.

I was one of the first ones to have the r1 having placed my order in late 2014. And to this day, with 20,000 miles on clock, it still beats everything out there. Once I hit that second gear, I’m gone! I’ve trounced the new zx10r’s, s1000rr’s, and pre 2017 liter bikes so readily. The r1 is where it’s at!

I don't know about the bikes but these guys have made an impressive job with camera shooting, editing, sound and script.

How about a stress test on the brakes and suspension in the 2018 shoot oiut? Also how sensitive are the bikes braking performance to suspension set-up (sag)? - I think the R1's braking performance is the most sensitive to proper sag settings

Fantastic review. I would kindly ask you guys to advise on the two bikes I am looking to buying in the next 1 month: 2018 Panigale V4 2017 Aprilia RSV4 RF Any inputs and help on reviews are welcome. Thanks again, LCL

Suzuki is owning MA right now. They're killing it in racing.

R1 has a face similar to iron man!!

Thanks...you guy's are great!!! How can you not love the Aprilia but I feel after reviewing this video along with a little novice racing back ground maybe I could enjoy the Suzuki after a few modification. The money that I save will help me replace the can on the Suzuki and tune for a better fit.

Damn! CM PUNK is one versatile dude. He didn't do so well in MMA so now he is testing sport bikes?? Rock on CM!!

Bit late but its awesome how you guys are saying that they are all great bikes, seems like you cant go wrong with picking any of them

I’ve got the CBR. I moved up from an R6 and holy shit! The power is crazy. To me, at least.

Rsv4 💯 although all these litre bikes are amazing definitely Rsv4 for me 🏍💨💨

Having pushed both the R1 and the RSV hard around multiple tracks..The RSV is a better bike there..and on the street. The RSV ‘s front end steering feel is neutral and effortless..not so on the R1. That said ..the R1 is an awesome bike with a wicked motor, faultless gear clicks and style The RSV is the best street/track race rep ever made..their Tuono is the best all around street bike..go get one...and don’t be swayed by the hosts at the end of this video..they know better

Best and honest review.. I hope you guys remain honest in future too and don't work for money like most journalists today.

The new Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory comes out soon. With 217 hp , should be interesting to see how it goes in future shootouts.

I bought an 2016 RSV4 RF last summer. I've been riding since I was six ('76). I've owned CBRs, GSX-Rs, Ducatis, Yamahas, and ZX-7s..... pretty much bikes from every major manufacturer with the exception of BMW, Triumph, and MV Agusta. I have to say, the RSV4 RF is by far the most incredible bike I've owned. It brings with it the Italian styling and sound, but provides smoothness and reliability of the Japanese bikes. I accept that you have declared the R1 as the best, but I've owned many Japanese bikes, and within a year or two I'm bored with them. The bike I owned before the Aprilia was a Ducati 999 which I had since new in 2003..........over a decade. I never grew tired of it, it just became tired amongst the newest bikes, so it was time to go. Italian bikes bring something to the table that the Japanese bikes can't. Which bike will you want in your garage after a couple of years? The Aprilia....... Also, the sound of that V4, even with stock exhaust.............epic. It's the only sport bike I've owned that doesn't need an aftermarket exhaust. You don't need to touch it.

Everyone's comments contradict each other and themselves. For example "the r1 is not really comfortable on the road" then "the r1 is the perfect balance between track performance and street comfort". Sigh.

Other down bike from 2010 to 2016 now in the lead by 2017 CBR, Suzuki, Aprilia, amazing!

Aprilia all day long,proper v4 all the rest are very very good, but that engine does it for me. I have a 2014 tuono v4 in the UK and it puts a smile on my face every time I ride it. I stored my bike at a mates once and here liked my Aprilia so much he went out and bought the tuono 1100,and fell in love with it.

is the Honda quickshift/auto blip standard in the states? its an expensive option here is AUS.I found the Honda to be so small, (im 6FT) but its bloody light, like 250cc light, amazing. great 2 part review guys.

R1 and CBR Fireblade are my favorite. But the CBR Fireblade is a street friendly sportbike, and the R1 is a race track compatible sportbike. Personally, I pick CBR Fireblade.

All of them are unique motorcycles types. But Fireblade looks awesome.

Now for the real street review. This was a canyon review.

Get a tune or ecu flash for the Honda to get the upper end power on par with the other bikes if you really need it, otherwise it's probably the best street bike of the bunch as is.

I agree completely r1! I've had ducatis, R1's , rsv4 , and a car 1000rr and the r1 was my favorite bike , but now I jsut bought the new 2017 Yamaha FZ10 (the naked r1 ) supernaked and it is the most fun I've ever had on a bike, has the same cross plane crank 998 cc motor same frame, swingarm, brakes, electronics as the r1 it truley is a supernaked r1 regardless of how Yamaha doesn't like that comparison. Best part is it was RE-tuned for a broad power curve, low and midrange power is insane, it power wheelies by accident in any gear but 6th which u can still get it up but needs the clutch, hat power wth the factory larger rear sprocket makes it anninsane wheelie hooligan, cruise control and upright bars makes it long distance friendly, best of all thonis that rsv4 sound that the crass plane crank r1 motor makes, I ripped the cat out and its closest to a moto GP bike I've ever heard! If u haven't rode one go demo one! It's easy to see why the r1 is still at #1 in so many comparisons, the fz10 jsut reinforces that. Love the video and waiting for a supernaked comparison soon!? New Tuono 1100, FZ10, s1000R , superduke, lets see it guys! Sales for supernakeds for 2016 DOUBLED the decreasing superbikes sales , it's a new trend where u can get the same power (except for Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki ) as a superbikes but do it comfortable with crusidecontrol and non back breaking riding position. I love superbikes but as someone with a back injury , supernakeds are great for those that have a hard time . Please give us supernakeds a new comparison!

Looks- R1 Handling electronics - Aprilia All arounds - GSXR and CBR Best bike list for me is : GSXR,Aprlia, R1 , CBR What i would like for me : r1, aprlia, cbr , gsxr. GOD DO I FALL FOR LOOKS :D

Great job guys really informative and nicely edited. Would like to see a "living with" feature of the top choices incorporating everyday things like commuting

Love the CBR but Honda needs to boost power in all of their products. ATV's, motorcycle etc. Just a bump in hp makes a big difference.

Go out and ride them...was set on the new GSX-R 2017 and the throttle was jerky and felt dangerous. Got a 2018 RSV4 RF, everything about it is epic.

All these reviewers pick different winners so I think the bike for me is just the one that looks best to me, and fits my price range. They're all great bikes.

As far as i know. In USA, Honda is down on power (about 10 hp) compared the ones which sent to Europe because of the Euro4 emissions. Therefore, in an other country this comparison would be different.

Bikes today is like a computer with engine, blows my mind how you can control the power, suspension, handling and other stuff now! I still remember the time when you have to replace the parts if you want to tune it. This is better i guess, but if something goes wrong it's gonna be expensive. I'm sure it wont break easily for the big 4 bike companies!

Amazing videoo!!! Thankssss

CBR1000RR is the best one! It has everything!

I'd pick the CBR from this bunch, guess I'm getting old. It also looks the best to me.

Does it have a slight hint of fruitiness and a slight metallic tinge of after taste?

So no one noticed at 7:58 they used the fire blade footage and not the aprillia?

Awesome review guys yous were spot on with the tests , with the Honda did it go into the false neutral it's known for ?im glad the new Zx10r wasn't in the shootout I had one for 8 weeks and below 10000 rpm it was gutless and that's the euro spec version, couldn't be more happier with my new R1 😀

The R1 is by far my choice.

provide about the 2017 600cc motorcycle review

What I see in many reviews is the best bike is aprilia!

r1 is love I will buy this bike one day

Did anyone noticed ... At 7.57 they were talking about Aprilia RSV4 but kinda showed Honda CBR1000rr dash ... Or is it just me

One thing I have notice with all Honda bikes - It's not the best at anything but good at everything. Sounds like a reliable bike to me.

I think after all these discussions. It will all come down to. Which do you like being seen riding. The looks.

That R1 has to be one of the best inline 4 Japanese bikes in terms of being exotic or sexy.

Are they in Palomar Mountain? road looks familiar very familiar lol

in my opinion. Yamaha R1 and suzuki GSXR 1000R is the top two best. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟🏽🤟🏽

V4 compared to flat vacuum cleaners? You know what's the best.

Well, it is like you said, we all have our own opinion. I will remind you because it wasn't stated, it is all about the rider. AMA, referencing the R1 as the best. Well, the gixxer is killing it and the ZX10R is right behind(not even in this test). Aprilia, is getting crushed by all the other bikes except for the Honda. So, with all of that and many more in mind, you may have your opinion.

I have Aprilia SR150 Race and I truly love the RSV4

First things first, this review is FANTASTIC!!!! It draws you in from start to finish! I noticed the bikes were updates for 2017 hence only four brands are represented. But in any other scenario the rulers of the jungle are in addition to the four, Zx10rr, panigale V4, and S1000rr! Give us this review!!

maybe Honda is going for the power you actually need and not the power you want, to have more miles per gallon? they prob know that your going to use it for the street and not formula 1 lol. Thus in the long run, you be glad you had a honda.

In summary, all 4 mfgr's have built new versions of what they always have built.

Suzuki bez I love to buy after market parts great price. Never stock

wheres the ZX10 R and BMW S1000RR?

The R1 definitely have the smoothest motor from my experience. Cornering exit speed and mid-range is unbelievable.

Thanks to all the real motorcycle riders who feel the way I do! I own a 2014 14R I ride to work and for pleasure. One of my riding buddies owns a BMW 1000rr which is by far the best all around sport bike you can buy! The other guy's I ride with own these race replicas, they don't ride out of NYC cause they would need to see a back doctor after 75 miles of real riding! Myself and my friend with bmw go from state to state all the time! Plus cycle worlds test are bias!!! Where was the zx10rr, H2, bmw,1299,the MV?

Love my RSV4. Best bike I've ever ridden

Is RSV4 a very fragile bike in the sense of hardware and software ? (parts , chasis etc and electronics )

Why did you choose the RSV4 RR, and not it's big bro the RSV4 RF?

The amount of criticism from some of the hosts with non tangible opinions are killing me... Notable mentions: Fit and finish is an issue on the GSXR? Ok, like what? NOPE, no examples or close ups of issues. Oh the Suzuki didnt take the platform far enough into a new model, how? Bullshit about "special touch". Oh, I'm sorry it didnt tickle you like your boyfriend does.

Is the jean vest over moto jacket combo a staple among motorcycle riders?

Ergonomical position?

Ape is great but reliability and service prices are scary! Ring your ape dealer and ask how much for a major service make sure your sitting down

Are these 2017 models?

Can't go wrong with any of these.

Suzuki needs to bring down their learnings from MotoGP and give their GSXR 1000 production bike a crossplane engine just like Yamaha did with their R1.

Cbr1000rr look awesome

For a moment the right one seemed like harry potter and the left one seemed like captain America or is it just me..

This at palomar?

Great shootout. Would have been nice w/ZX and BMW, but such is life. Looks like you can’t really go wrong with any of these. My only gripe: I’m old, and freaking hate electronics. In cars, in bikes, in almost anything. What I found interesting... one of the reviewers said that it feels like you sit inside the Gixxer and not on top. I think this new ergo started in the K4 models when the seat height was significantly lowered. My old K2 GSX-R750 has the feeling of riding on top, as opposed to inside. Suzuki wins with the ugliest garbage can tail pipe. What the hell is with that thing? Can you use it to fill helium balloons on birthdays?

does this r1 has abs?

I've been watching these types of bike videos just to decide which 3 I would need to try out before purchasing my next bike in the up and coming. But my biggest question. Why Don't I see more videos with all these bikes PLUS the Agusta R4 RR? That bike looks and seems like a beast! Just a question I've had for the last 2 weeks since discovering the bike.

second video i've watched today already where aprilia wins in it's category of bikes :- ) is it that good then ?

All this comments about street riding should be commute and traffic, you dont buy a SuperBike to ride it in traffic, yet if you ever find yourself in traffic it doesn't matter if its crap because you obviously didn't buy it for that, its just a transition you have to bare with in order get to the moments where you are going to enjoy it doing what it does. It would be kinda like reviewing a surfboard for how easy it is to transport and carry outside of the water. YET, if you go out and ride your "Street Test" on perfect roads where the bikes feel the same as on a track then there is no point, street bikes even super sport bikes need to be prepared for uneven asphalt, imperfections, etc. in essence real streets and roads. So maybe sitting in traffic is not necessary, but we definitely need to see more real street challenges on a "street test" thats for sure

Fuck yeah, this was a dope review. I'm really torn between the R1 base and the R1S. The R1S I feel like would be kinder to me (the more street oriented commuter) than the regular R1. But the R1 comes in this bitchin black color.

I've tried them all (track & road) and for road use: 1- CBR, 2- GSXR, 3- RSV4. 4- R1. For track use: 1- RSV4. 2- R1, 3- GSXR, 4- CBR. Ps. I cannot use the full potentiel of any of these bikes! Too much for me. lollllll
