Battle Royale: 7-Way Heavyweight Naked Bike Shootout - Street

What do you get when you put together seven of the biggest and baddest naked bikes on the market today and let them loose on the street? One half of one hell of a Heavyweight Naked Bike Shootout, that’s what. Here are the bikes we have in store:
- Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory
- BMW S1000R
- Ducati Streetfighter V4S
- Kawasaki Z H2 SE
- KTM 1290 Super Duke R
- MV Agusta Brutale 1000RR
- Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS
With a combined total of more than 1100 horsepower on tap, we let them loose on the streets of SoCal to see which one is the best at not only ripping up the canyons but also cruising along down the freeway and navigating congested city streets. Because it’s not always about being as agro as possible - these bikes need to be able to do a little bit of everything.
And stay tuned to Part 2 of this test, where we ride them on track!

[@katherynscleaning5807]

I got a 2016 Tuono V4 for the simple fact I wanted a V4 standard but at a cheaper price. Man did I ever feel like I hit the mark. 5K on the miles and man this bike just keeps asking for more, I feel like it is the best bang for buck in the more affordable V4 group. You never feel out dated if you get a Italian bike you can afford.

[@johnweir9447]

The funny thing is Ducati seems to be trying to meld the difference between MV Agusta (stylistically) and Aprilia (mechanicaly). Aprilia has the engine to beat.

Currently own a 2011 tuono v4r with 50k miles on it. Still running strong

[@TrixieDK]

MT10 needs to be there

[@manoloorz]

probably it wasn't because the old one its a little too old and the new one just came out, probably they were already filming this when it got announced.

[@johnnyrodrigo2030]

Great video. I’ve ridden them all except the BMW and the MV. The KTM was a clear winner for me, especially considering the $6k price difference, no cruise control or gas gauge on the Streetfighter. I bought a Super Duke 1290 GT for the added comfort. Best bike I’ve ever owned by far.

[@davidcampbell-di1xp]

how is the seat man? im looking for a replacement for my fatbob114 becuase it kills my tailbone and im looking at these also. i noticed in the shop the seat was way hard and felt real wide also but i didnt get to test ride. any tailbone pain on the duke?

[@johnnyrodrigo2030]

@@davidcampbell-di1xp the seat on the KTM? Amazing. The riding position is better, the suspension is a hundred times better than the Harley. And the power isn’t even comparable. Honestly man there’s no comparison between the Fat Bob and the Super Duke GT. It’s a whole other world of motorcycle man, and it will change the way you feel about motorcycles.

Was waiting for this video for month !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Firestorm637]

Great review on all the top Halo bikes. You really can not miss with any choice. I own my second SDr and a MV AGusta Dragster 800rr Pirelli edition. The SD makes more horsepower and torque until 9500 vs Streetfighter V4. SD streetable Rpm is very rewarding

[@vmotobiker]

You guys rock! Your videos IMO are honest and I enjoy the different perspectives. I had the 21 V streetfighter and I did not enjoy it. IMO the hype of the Tuono is on point. I am the very satisfied owner of a 21 V4 Tuono 1100 Factory. Keep up the good work guys and don't change your review format!

[@deankruse4491]

Keep a sharp eye on the oil dipstick! As well as oil leaks.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Good article. Some cracking bikes in the test!! I like the ktm and the Ducati the best. Rode them all in real life apart from the Agusta. American power on those bikes seems a good bit down on the uk tests I’ve seen. The regulations over there seem so restrictive. Looking forward to the 2nd part guys. 🤘🏻

[@worldtraveler8613]

I really appreciate bike reviews. Cause most of us will have to purchase these things without getting to ride them first. So its great for the common consumer to get an idea of what they are getting beyond just looks.

[@jemararapan3418]

Ryan says it all. "I feel spoiled" 🤣 Awesome, awesome collection of bikes. Great video, like they said there is no wrong choice here since you will have fun on any of those bikes. (except the MV I gurss 🤣) I have the 2021 Streetfighter V4S, and I have to say it's surprisingly not as hot as other ducati bikes, but I have to say: THE V4 IS THIRSTYYYYYY 🤣 Bike's amazing though 👌 Great job guys! Looking forward to the track video 👏

[@KrustyCream]

I've been waiting months for this review

[@michaelj.kastner5165]

I owned the SDR, had too many mechanical issues, had no power over 120-mph, but my life changed when I got my Ducati Streetfighter V-4S with full Akropavic/Up-Mapp, bike is just phenomenal!!! SP incoming this Spring!!!!!

[@motouristajapan3628]

Very nice and cool reviews, I'm looking forward to riding one of those bikes someday.

[@oneonlyxram]

Loved this "fireside chat" style of review and comparison video. Great perspectives, having ridden most of these bikes and owning the SF I can agree with most of what is said about each bike! Can't wait for the track, just had a track day with my SF so will be cool to see what you guys think!

[@Full_Deflection]

I went for the 2022 Tuono V4 base. I think adjustable rearsets are a necessity for touring on it, but it really does hit the mark nearly everywhere else. Some better range would be nice, but if 40 miles per tank is the premium I have to pay for that soundtrack, it’s worth it.

[@Mr100asd]

GREAT review. My 2021 SF, with Full AKRA and MAP is my everyday transportation even in the rain. 9,000 miles in 10 months. Being Dark stealth, it does not look aggressive, basically a sleeper. With the rear cylinders deactivating @ an idle when warm, pretty quiet when stooped in traffic or a light. Every 80-90 miles have too stop for 3 gal of fuel. No cruse, or fuel gauge not a problem for me. The counter rotating crank helps in the wheelie dept. Above 150, Hang on for dear life, the wind wants too separate you from the bike. Handling incredible, especially at the track. Curious what you guys think. JUST dynoed 207 rear wheel. They had too re strap the rear wheel two times, IT did make a difference in the H.P. KTM my second choice..

[@manoloorz]

It might not look aggressive from 50 feet away going 50 miles per hour, but from up close I beet it still looks like the beast it is 🥺😍

[@broosewee]

[@jerryx2000]

A very good test after a long period on youtube! MV Augusta is Italian lazy craftsmanship & IT. Ducati is owned by VW i.e German ingeneers tune the electronics, hence the top notch.

[@grantgundesen6284]

Thank you heaps as I have a 2018 370z nizmo in black and I love it you just made my day ❤🕊

[@SmittyAZ]

In 19, I preordered and purchased a 20 ZH2 to add to the stable. I did not realize the SE was coming out, or I would have waited. My 20 is now flashed, it has a lot carbon fiber bits, slip on, sprint AF, alarm, heated grips, a heated seat, taller screen, etc. I just added a 23 fat bob last month. I’m now in Phoenix and will probably be picking up a new 22 1100 Tuono Factory tomorrow, unless I talk myself out of it. (I took my 02 RSV2 Mille out the other day and realized how much I like that bike.)

[@mtmatt8958]

I may end up on that beautiful S1000R when my MT07 stops being so fun snd i have the money for it😂 Always loved the inline 4 sound and all the electronics and power is plenty for me

[@loloflieger8832]

I also had a Mt07 as a first bike in 2018 , then came the MT09SP in 2019 after this beast came the S1000R in 2020 which was way easier to ride fast than the Mt09sp but it didnt had the emotions in comparison to the Mt07 and Mt09sp thats why I bought a 1290 super Duke R in 2021 which is in its own class of fun/adrenaline tbh.

[@dmytro.tryhodko]

Pls include new Suzuki GSX-S 1000 and Yamaha MT-10 in next year review, I think they can also give a lot of fun and good driving’s experience.

[@shinyribs2178]

I was also surprised there was no MT-10 in there.

[@gamingbeastsfreefire5938]

Yeah you are right

[@AbandonEarth911]

They are all great bikes, it boils down to personal choice. For me it's the Aprilia every day.

[@deruusta]

No mention of the lack of torque of the Streetfighter in the midrange, or the high fuel consumption

[@PRSer]

Haha I think all these bikes guzzle fuel. It's the last thing that would matter I think. Ducati's are just desirable bling to a lot of people. The brand itself probably has the same appeal like Ferrari or Lamborghini so it gets a little favouritism and it's flaws get overlooked. I admit I want one but honestly would be just as happy with my old reliable Ninja 400 even though it's a poodle compared to all the monsters on this video

[@rns6889]

​@@PRSeryeah, sometimes I hate when people glaze over things for the brand name.. Becuase it's expensive and it's for fancy rich people, when ducati bikes are attainable unlike a ferrari or lamborghini, they're my 3rd favourite brand, but I can't deny people overlook ducatis flaws. Personally the street fighter V4s makes no sense, the v2 is lovely. But why not just get a panigale at this point? Oh and the price, I know ducatis are more expensive but does it have to be almost twice 😂. Come on, it's overkill, I know the base v4 exists but even that is way more expensive than the aprillia whcih sounds better. They really shouldn't have made it have 200 horsepower, it's a street bike. The zh2 is heavy, and it has a supercharger, if say it's the coolest here. But that aprillia.. Absolute nutter.

[@nicholasshaw7672]

Such a frickin' cool review of big boy 'nakeds' guys....u'r all so laid back-having a gud time, but to the point! I'm a 'Streetfighter man' myself (just the standard version -2019 from Preston / Manchester Ducati dealership here in the UK (where in north-west we've got crap bumpy 'B'roads- full of pot holes we all pay road tax for in Lancashire. England). So naturally i'm going to be voting Ducati in this shoot-out, as rain or shine i get me thrills & a big ole grin on my freezin face- summer/ winter, rain or shine- S/F kicks arse & is a real crowd pleaser too. Occasionally I get a scowl, (as V4 so noisy as standard) in town, but mostly joy & admiration from 'joe public'.

[@mrkang4080]

I'm and SDR guy through and through... at 6'4", it's the only option and the most fun bike on the list.

[@ricardoedwardo5799]

[@balazsrepasi8035]

So Cool, thanks Guys

[@MotoM1234]

Went from a 2006 Brutale 910 to the 2018 Tuono Factory… absolutely loved the Brute, only traded it because it started having issues that couldn’t be figured out…. As much as I love the MV Brand and the look of those bikes; the news ones that I road where crap compared to my old brute, sounds like they still haven’t figured it out…. Can’t imagine a better bike than the Tuono but that old Brute was also very special….

[@hibbittybibbitty4636]

ZH2 is really limited by the ECU but it’s an absolute riot to ride flashed. Shame I had to put mine away for the winter. I’d still ride any of the other bikes shown here just because I LOVE RIDING.

[@richardkillian5657]

What kind of difference do you feel when riding it flashed?

[@DDRDK]

​@Richard Killian the ZH2 makes somthing like 40-60hp more flashed because kawasaki shits the throttle off at about 170-190hp at the top end so it is super restricted from the factory. I think they usually pull 200+ hp super easy on pump gas JUST from keep the throttle bodies from closing off on the top end. So really it's hard to watch these reviews when a lot of these bikes can be very different with modifications that 90% of people do to any of these bikes. I feel like it could change a lot of opinions if people knew that information.

[@arjenbootsma6881]

A pretty good day at the "office", I'd say!

[@JDelta87]

While I haven't ridden all of these bikes, I've ridden a couple. They all seem to be solid bikes so it's all personal preference and what one can afford in the end. That being said, I'd like to add 2 more of these to my garage if I could.

[@BestMotorWerks]

I've ride them all.. Best money can buy is the triumph. A motorbike that can do everything..and if you put an aftermarket exhaust with a map,it is a whole different animal..also very well job to every spot of the bike,paint,welds,sound.....

[@zxgeorger]

As predicted the big Speed is a track weapon! I know Ive got one.

[@Firestorm637]

Love your reviews. These Halo bikes check all the right boxes. Halo bike tech eventually filters down their whole line. Truthfully, for the street, middle weight bikes are perfect, 110-150 horsepower. 200 horsepower plus bikes are like a 250 mph car. Why? Love my Super Duke snd MV AGusta 800 rr. No way can you use 80% of the potential of these bikes on the street especially on the twisted. Great job guys

[@tf9436]

I'm following this test from Germany. I have owned a 1200 RS myself for 3 months now. Wow. Obviously you have a completely different Triumph motorcycle overseas? Have some horsepower been sunk in the sea during the shipping? What other regulations do you have in addition to the indicators from Disneyland? I really don't want to put the ST on the throne, but so far behind and "not outstanding"? Funny: BMW is at the forefront of all testers in Europe because this bike obviously offers the best overall package for country roads. In this test there are 2 bikes ahead that cannot use their nominal performance advantages on country roads ... By the way, I also think that the Ducati and Aprilia are absolutely top bikes, but this test result is a bit weird .. .. Everyone stay healthy.

[@phillee5397]

Remember these US reviewers are usually smitten by the allure of the red Ducati. Like someone thinking that a expensive wine is the best, it's not. I watch US reviews to see how subjective they are and go the opposite of their views.

[@akheelugwekar]

I felt the same too... they've kinda ignored the RS

[@love4boost]

It depends what you expect for power. They use dyno numbers which is power at the tire so it’s going to be lower than advertised. Also overseas you have nm for torque numbers which are almost double than the sae numbers we use here. The 1200 rs for the street what I’ve heard is the way the power is distributed it’s not road friendly because it’s more like a sport bike. It doesn’t like being lugged around at low rpm. It needs to be ridden hard to enjoy it. Me personally if I was to get one of these it would be the Triumph or KTM. But for where I live the 900 class is more enjoyable. All that’s here is congested highways with potholes everywhere and tight twisty roads where you’re stuck in 3rd gear. I’ve never been out west where they are so I’m not sure what the roads are like.

[@vfarias]

The only thing with the 1250 RS for me is that I'm 6'4 and too much strain on my wrists so a 1250R or the S1000XR would be my upgrade choice... but I love the boxer engine and that torque... it has no match on the low end of the rev range... keep safe

[@kenwolfe5697]

I’m with you. Seems like a lot of reviewers look for unrefined and raw feeling engines whereas the Triumph is more refined and user friendly. This results in a bike that’s easier to ride fast without having to rely on all the computer aides all the time. No one can deny the Triumph is a lot of bike and I personally would put it much higher on the list. I also think it’s the best looking of the lot. My thoughts at least 🇺🇸

[@moulip]

Hi guys, great review thank you very much for the work. I'm a bit surprises though with the dyno output. I know it's rear wheel and vendors often feel a bit optimistic, but for the MV for instance a 50 hp loss is too huge.

[@ralphwarom2514]

Emissions and exhaust. Manufacturers often quote numbers before emissions. Zh2's comfortably hit 200 to the wheel with just a tune and exhaust.

[@escapeorion3741]

I had the same question about the track episode How would the new v2 street fighter be compared? Maybe a silly idea to compare until price becomes a factor?

[@tf9436]

It is certain that these testers are all very experienced and very good drivers. But it is precisely for this reason that I do not understand some of the comments that "disqualify" the ST for country roads. I only drive them on country roads and try not to stroll. For me, the bike works excellently in a wide range of revs. Sure, some testers found the suspension to be too tight, but: the Oehlins components are fully adjustable and of the very best variety. Sometimes I have the impression that the testers are all top drivers, but as soon as they have to adjust a suspension it gets complicated ... I don't want to "complain" any further, maybe I'm just too vain because my beloved ST was so ignored :-)

[@GIGABACHI]

Your ST1200 it's a sharp tool, HOWEVER, when compared to "sharper" ones . . . things that weren't so evident start to surface easier. That's my take going by what these guys said. Personally, I think it's an excellent motorcycle.

[@DDIAZ-we4dz]

The zh2 probably has the most power potential out of the line up for those willing to modify. Its incredibly restricted from the factory. As are all of these. But because its boosted it has the most to gain from destrestriction. Bricks performance got a stock zh2 to make 220 wheel horsepower. Moore mafia got one with a full exhaust to make 230 wheel hp. As far as I've seen none of the other bikes gain anywhere near as much power from dyno tuning and light modification.

[@makjak111]

Think brocks eventually got even higher than 220 I think it was just over 230 with the zh2 and 240 with the h2sx

Well done, gents. 👏 Appreciate your thoughts and the video. 👍👍

[@RikkyTang]

Gobbled up the whole video and the web article - I feel spoiled! Thanks chaps! I would have liked to see the dyno charts start from a lower number though... 2,000 would be great! I found the 2020 Z-H2 a little bit "conventional inline-four" between 2-4000rpm before the boost spools up and you have me wondering if Kawaski has done something to address that. P.S. It would be awesome if you could navigate the review photos on your website with the keyboard cursor keys (or swipes for the young 'uns)

[@siraff4461]

I doubt it got any better low down. Its got stricter emissions to meet and we all know how that goes for throttle response and fun. Its also difficult to get much more low down without gearing the supercharger to spin up faster and that would hold it back up top. I found adding two teeth to the rear sprocket livened it up no end. Even in the dead zone (relatively) it made it pick up much more urgently and got it to boost rpm much faster. It didn't make a massive difference to cruising rpm (~600ish more at 70mph) and you can hardly ever use the top speed anyway so for me that was a good trade off.

How about engine heating on the bikes especially if you are in real city road conditions and not on canyons? I mean compared to each other how liveable are they in summers and not really irritating heat levels?

Interesting about the dyno figures for speed when 165 on bikelife norge. Perhaps dyno calibration off which begs question if all tests off

Are all these bikes full power as they came from the factory or do some have restrictions for American emissions. I ask this as the Triumph seems really low on power and in the U.K. Is quoted 178 at the crank.

I'm looking into that supercharger for the 2022 BMW S 1000 R.... it would be insane

[@robinnerf]

MT-10, Z900 SE, MT-09 SP and more to look forward to 2022

[@tubejorrit]

z900 and mt09 are middle-weight bikes.

I'd want the zh2 just for the fact it can make a ton of power with just a tune and exhaust

[@ur2slob724]

No need just a simple ecu derestrict and it will make 220rwhp

[@tuyenhoang5546]

Power isn't everything on naked bike lol. Handling is more important imo

[@makjak111]

@@tuyenhoang5546 I've had a zx14r a mt09 and a gsxr1000 and go the same pace regardless of bike. So power is fun and that's what cash buys

[@paulperry8800]

The headline Dyno figures only say so much. If you look at the power curves, the Kawi and the KTM are the most powerful in the real world, and the Ducati is only the most powerful due to its higher redline.

What happened to the Triumph's passenger seat? Didn't the older model have a nicer seat for passenger that's also connected to the rider seat like the MT09?
