[@garylai363]

Chris is such a good rider. the way he was able to launch the Aprilia was nuts.

[@czierwo]

Rider change shows rider makes so much difference. Aprilia was beating Beemer when dispatched properly. Love the vibe, bikes, personalities! Great watch!

[@greyanaroth]

I'm loving how the tuono, with 30hp less, is still managing mostly to keep up. Ah that aprilia v4 😍😍😍

[@Full_Deflection]

The noise with a proper exhaust is just sublime.

[@johnweir-w2f]

Technically a more fair comparison would be the RSV4 - the ducati and BMW motors are basically the same engine with different bodywork. Aprilia is the odd one out: it basically uses nearly the same geometry and bodywork and reworks the engine. I love my tuono but it's not an RSV4 (and that's one of the reasons I love it: it's more comfortable and I don't have to rev it to 10k to make great power).

[@1990sourav]

It's not keeping up at all.

[@johnweir-w2f]

It finished a few yards behind. If they had used the RSV4 factory it would have won. The tuono isn't designed around a copy of the motogp engine: it's tuned for mid-ranged torque with different cams. The BMW and Ducati use the exact same engine as their motogp counterparts @@1990sourav

[@1990sourav]

With RSV4 factory you would get BMW M1000rr not M1000r comparison.

[@JoeShep71]

Man Chris is my all time favorite !!! His love of the game is so genuine!!!

[@drink4711]

The Ducati sounds like a proper MotoGP bike. That was awesome guys!

[@johnnyblaze1372]

The Aprilia still a great Bike to Ride i was on a Search for a Hypernaked i own the Aprilia and on my search for a new Hypernaked i try the KTM great Bike with much Character but not that much for Track,the BMW has a strong Engine but missing a lot of Character of the old S1000r the Engine feels like a Electric Bike power is always there but it felt boring even the Power is ridiculles.On the end i choose the Ducati because of the look‘s the Engine more Emotional even the Bike is not Perfect but to much Perfection can be boring

[@wanderer54796]

Love it . Can't wait to see Ducati streetfighter Vs Kawasaki Z H2 drag race. And I want to see More and more and more drag races in the future.

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

Seen it on an Italian channel. I won't spoil it for you.

[@SethPortland]

I have a Z H2 and without an ECU flash, there is no way... 100lb heavier and is limited to 170hp at peak, which drops to 130hp at redline. I'd can't wait to see the race, but can't imagine it winning in stock form.

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

[@juliodc1231]

I used to own an April tuono v4 I was not good at launching hard like that, even with launching control you couldn't get off the line that fast...im impressed, even being down 30 hp it still was able to keep up (for the most part) and givin the price difference I'll definitely take the Aprilia

[@ArthurStone]

Great show. Better than the TV shows. Thanks.

[@ducedevlstear2471]

I'd definitely go for the Aprilia 🖤 But I'd definitely choose the non Factory RSV.

[@adamc209]

The takeaway here is that Chris is an absolute weapon 😂👌🏻

[@joeblow5037]

I too would still take the Aprilia. The sound is intoxicating.

[@capz3217]

Definitely. It's still and always will be overkill for the road and I'm nowhere near the ability to use it to the fullest at the track. Also, it gets even better with the forged wheels.

[@Pushing_the_cathinone_limits_]

I stood next to a Ducati streetfigter recently at my local mot centre. Dare i say it looked quite understated ? You'd never think it was a 200hp + monster. The other 2 bikes give you quite an obvious nod to their madness. Personally, I've got a soft spot for the Tuono

[@ma3stro681]

The Streetfighter looked understated?? You’re kidding … 😂

[@Pushing_the_cathinone_limits_]

Nope, it looked very plain.... In a Good way @@ma3stro681

[@CrisURace]

I would have done a few with launch control on also. These bikes are built to work like that, imo. Great video!

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Chris did try the launch control on the ZH2, wasn't pretty. 😂

[@TL1000S97]

@@BikeWorldTVshow The launch control (KLCM) on the Z H2 is a joke.. But it works very well on the M1000R. A very skilled (drag)racer will always do better with all nanny controls off (for dragrace). Just saying.

Yes because it sounds amazing

[@adamniswonger8015]

They’re great, but also pretty heavy. That chassis is a full generation behind. I’ve owned all of these bikes, including the Superduke r and the mt10. They’re all crazy for the street, so pick whatever flavor suits your taste.

[@aleokyn5757]

aprilia suit the taste ❤

[@steveman1982]

I'd check the tuono and the ktm

[@theonlyredspecial]

Awesome guys thanks for doing this one ! Very enjoyable. I fixed the 2nd gear dip on m1000r with a flash from brentune, filter and full Akra system. Had it dyno’d. 202 at back tyre it’s a beast !

[@75619630]

Awesome

[@BlackbirdDH]

I like that you are mainly doing this focussing on the fun of it and not overhyping, clickbaiting etc. Ride on.

[@danparsons46]

Spot on 👊 I’ve owned all 3 and the bm is definitely the easiest to ride fast, just like the rr is

[@arod944]

The tuono is my dream bike, but I feel at this point it is only a naked bike in riding position. They keep slapping more and more plastics on it. I still love it though and would love to ride and own one some day.

[@ll.7927]

U won’t be disappointed in the tuono. My boy has the tuono v4 n ducati v4s and a s1000rr and he absolutely loves his tuono when it comes to riding. Only down fall in the reliability

[@alangolightly9850]

Tuono awesome. But runs hot in traffic. No commuter bike.😮

[@rideroll9609]

It is amazing how fast is that Aprilia when it got only 175HP and stand 1s behind them

[@naftyloescher]

I dont know why they "detuned" the engine that hard compared to the RSV4. But who cares on the street I guess? The Aprilia is with no doubt the best sounding of them all.

[@davidhudson8960]

The clear winner here is Chris!! Neevsey called it right in his recent video!!

[@rdavidsen7344]

All three were terrific. I appreciated everyone's input.

[@CraigSmith568]

So much fun. Definitely shows what kind of difference a rider can make. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these rockets.

[@firebladeclements]

It's weird to me 20 years on with the power numbers now. This old 220 fart used to break the 10's on my 02 blade putting out 135 at the rear wheel. Most likely due to getting off the line easier I guess. Be great to see that era of bikes go at it! Gixxer, blade, r1, and 996! Let's gooooo....

[@peterherrington3300]

Exactly that ! 30 years ago we were pleased to run 12s on stock GS suzukis , we now run comfortable 9s on stock engine busa's. Things have evolved

[@brianskibbe7881]

Give the tuono that missing 30/40 hp, and I'm **guessing** that it **may** get them on the launch, AND hold it... (imho) 🙂 Excellent drag race, regardless!

[@DucatiDale]

Be nice see the speed triple in the mix as well

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

We tried, next time.

[@fyorbane]

You must try and get the improved '23' V4 Streetfighter. It should be even quicker.@@BikeWorldTVshow

[@AIBETTSYIA75]

Safe to say all the nakeds in the drag races are superb and at the end of the day it's down to the rider

[@camrlace]

That's such a shame you guys didn't use a 23 SF v4, there's a few updates compared to the 22, the 23 you have low medium high and 'full' power modes which gives you 100% of the torque in every gear other than first, compared to the 22 where you only have all full torque in the last 2 gears.

[@TrigunV4S]

got a 2023 SFV2S myself was bummed when they said they got a 2022 :( the bike also has launch control!! it would probably did a even better job against the BMW kind of surprised when they said they had a hard time finding a Ducati for the test!

[@SBarbati]

In fairness to them, Chris explained that they asked all the manufacturers for a bike but didn’t get anything from them so a bike shop was kind enough to borrow these bikes. Ducati missed a chance to display their latest product on this.

[@gioironman]

RIGHT

[@P6_7R_Nick]

BeMoto are an awesome insurance company. I insured my 2001 R1 with them, 5yrs NCB, £180 fully comp. I thought it was plenty but just insured my 2001 ZX7R on a multi bike with my R1, £58 fully comp. If you've got more than one bike, try BeMoto. Great folks, great price, hope I never have to find out how their claims side works. Great vid Chris, but I'd still buy the Aprilia Tuono too. Just the sound alone wins it for me. But if the KTM was there, it's the best naked road bike available today, particularly the Evo version.

[@veers0r]

That Streetfighter is last years model. I'm afraid you'll have to do this all over again and use the full power mode. :))

[@hexagonosaurus5848]

Shut up😢

[@moorepower13]

The two car manufacturers BMW and Volkswagen are fine. But now the Vespa manufacturer makes the most compelling motocycle soundtrack in the business.

[@paul.vanhout57]

Hey, thanks for letting me borrow your bike for the day! Didn't push it too hard but you may want to check your clutch and boy is that lump thirsty :)

[@zix_zix_zix]

Thanks guys! That was a very entertaining but also informative video. A pleasure to watch! My only request is if you could remove your helmets before talking, because it is not easy to understand what you're saying sometimes..

[@flamintasty]

Top notch banter today 😂 I’d own all those bikes, I don’t care which one is quickest.

[@falcodog2917]

I'm amazed by that Tuono. 30, 40 HP down and heavier but it put on a good show. It would still be my choice of these three as a road bike. You can get an honest 190hp at the wheel with a Tuono for not a lot of cash if that's your thing.

[@garylai363]

don't forget several thousand dollars less, and the best sound!

[@fabiena1787]

Now would you care to explain the 190hp at the wheel with 'not a lot of cash', please ? Because that would be around 220 hp at the crank, minimum. That doesn't mean the Tuono isn't a great, great bike. But I really doubt your numbers.

[@ducedevlstear2471]

​@@fabiena1787the RSV gets 217 if I'm not mistaken so I believe he is aming at some parts from it.

[@garylai363]

@@ducedevlstear2471 yeah you're not going to get 190 at the wheel on a Tuono. For the most part they are very similar but the Tuono has always been the detuned version of the engine. Not sure if there are more substantial internal differences but an expert would know.

[@falcodog2917]

You don't think 40 HP is doable? That engine can produce way more than 200HP at the crank for the price difference between the bikes. @@fabiena1787

Nice. Always wanted to see a video of naked bikes 1/4. Got a 1989 gsx-r fighter, run a 10.58 1/4 @ 211kmh with it. The non existing aero really starts to slow you down past like 150km/h compared to a bike with fairings.

[@paulbragg7618]

You could ask around the different manufacturer clubs, see who's regarded as the most wreckless rider and then pitch them against each other😅 at least you'd get people who ride these day in day out

Cant wait for the next race i hope the Z H2 has at least been derestricted as there highly restricted from factory with the ECU unlike the euro bikes .

[@NalinKhurb]

M1000R is also restricted in the mid range I believe, that's why it doesn't wheelie up so often

[@PaoloD2R2]

lol the zh2 is mega restricted. i own one and with a MILD ecu mapping and still on stock headers and air filter, reached 241hp so go figure
