Like going in for a bean flick with a pair of oven gloves on?! 😂😂😂👌🏻👌🏻

[@scottgilmour2135]

Just brilliant 😂

[@bboness713]

The Dooo-catty bean flick. Wonder if anyone has mastered the technique.

[@robmcsenior6282]

He cracks me up 😂

[@stephenwhite3832]

That literally cracked me up

[@gregmorris2022]

Does that mean what I think it means? It must...

[@LambChopRides]

must say the Streetfighter isn't my favourite super naked but my god that looks soooo good 😍

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Wait until you swing a leg over it pops!

[@TheMickey06]

Brushed stainless, carbon, dry clutch and wings, that’s the best looking bike I have seen in along time 😍

[@woweeoi11]

Thank you Ducati for bringing 44T in to this. Top notch as always Al what a bike!

[@Way-M]

44teeth back at it with the banging reviews. Yes lads!

[@DeusRides]

As an owner of a BMW S1000R, I always said that "why we should compromise?". What if I like having 200+ HP on a motorcycle but being more comfortable than in a super sport. I like the fact that Ducati did it, and I hope other manufacturers follow suit. Nice video, as always!

[@XenonG]

You mean, like a Kawasaki Z H2?

[@MrArmorcat]

@@XenonG Right because the Z H2 can compete with this when it comes to it's weight and chassis setup lol

[@Bobby-wn5yr]

Yeah naked bikes aren’t new.

[@Fearless154]

@@XenonG I own a 2021 z h2 and my buddy owns a 2020 streetfighter v4. They're very different bikes. You can have fun on the zh2 riding your local twisty roads, but on the track it's not a fun bike at all. It's very slow and clumsy. It's not your typical razor-sharp hyper naked; it's a heavy and clumsy bike. It's kind of a "muscle car" of motorcycles.

[@DeusRides]

@@XenonG Yeah! I completely forgot about it. But yeah, that is another great example.

[@dazza291970]

"I looked at it and thought, shall I ride it or Shag it?" 🤣 Quality review 👍

[@BrianFrichette]

Good god that's the one. Despite how good modern Ducatis are, they just haven't been my thing. But this and the Multistrada Pikes Peak are right up my alley. Unfortunately, by the time I'm able to afford one, I'll probably be riding a mobility scooter.

[@myaccount6905]

So Aprilia should put the RSV4 engine in the Tuono V4, put carbon wheels on it, stylema’s and call it the Tuono V4 SP… Now that would be the ultimate hyper naked….

[@Fearless154]

Aprillia literally put the tuono engine in the RSV4 1100 but tuned it a bit higher. I had a 2017 Tuono 1100rr and trust me, it doesn't need more power. It's very powerful and out-accelerates any superbike till the gears end up. Also, if you need 200HP on the Tuono, you can install the RSV4 airbox and it'll unlock 180rwhp, which is essentially 200hp at the crank, but most people like the Tuono so much mostly because of that raw midrange power and torque.

[@code3ryder]

Al, thanks for showing a full lap. For being a tiny little track, it seems to have a bit of everything. I'm a Tuono fanboy and hope this spurs Aprilia to produce something similar. Great video as always!

[@TheSd1cko]

Same. I have a good old gen2 that I recently bought and have made a project bike of. I feel like the Tuono has lost its way in recent years, especially with the new model; it doesn't know what it is anymore.

[@SubseaTaff]

That looks so quick round there, would be an absolute missile on a mountain road in the UK! Another amazing video there Statham

[@ChrisMag100]

I’ve got stock exhaust on my 2021 Streetfighter V4S. BST Rapidtek’s made a big difference, even for fast street riding.

[@ideiben3190]

I will NEVER go back to a bike with clip ons. Riding a naked with Motobars was a MASSIVE gamechanger for me. I am MUCH faster and MUCH 'calmer' on the track as well. It is just so much more enjoyable. I now have my dreambike, V-4 SP. I did, however, install a small windscreen on it made by Ducati, and I also changed the tires to Super Corsa SP, along with Termi slip-ons with re-map. Going to the track in a few weeks. Then 'Road Atlanta' for track day in the spring.

[@cozi_mieras634]

Great review, but i really miss those older style reviews where Al and Chris would sit and have a dialog between each other about the bike. Anyway, great to see Al on action !

[@Roger101Watson]

I always find Chris's input into bikes very engaging with how he describes how it feels to ride. Have missed him like you say.

[@nicklake8224]

Just 3 things SP Oven glove Statham 😂👍

[@doug3011]

is anyone else dipping their head left to right with the onboards. brilliant riding what a bike.

[@giantslug6969]

It's not a hypernaked unless you ride it naked.

[@mrbullet808]

Great review! Making me want to buy one and sell my ‘normal’ Streetfighter V4S

[@FadilKarim]

I still find the STREETfighter line to be too compromised for the STREET. 80 miles of range, no fuel meter, and no cruise control are a non-issue for the track but deal breakers for the street. I'd like Ducati to live up to the streetfighter name and give us a more versatile street biased option. I'm kind of glad that the bike has these flaws, otherwise I'd be out of >$25k 😂

[@michaeljkasnter]

35k usa

[@gregt7927]

@@michaeljkasnter So that would 49K AUD, tell em he is dreaming son

[@Fearless154]

You need to ride one. My buddy owns a 2020 model, and man, it's the perfect bike. It behaves so smoothly and nicely at lower rpm. The seat is one of the most comfortable seats I have ever experienced on a motorcycle, let alone a sporty one. But when you open it up, all hell breaks loose. In my opinion, the fuel gauge and cruise control are minor inconveniences when the bike rides so amazingly on the street. Also, I had a 2017 Tuono 1100rr and now a 2021 Zh2 and I never used the cruise control option. Ironically, I find it more useful on less comfortable bikes like superbikes.

[@FadilKarim]

@@Fearless154 I could live without the fuel gauge since you can always use the trip meter instead but Ducati really has no excuse not to put cruise control on such an expensive bike. There are $10k bikes that come with them stock now. I personally use cruise every time I'm on the highway on my MT 10 and I'd expect it on a >$25k street oriented bike. Every other hyper naked has one! And 70-90 miles of range is absurd. Why couldn't they just put a slightly larger tank to get at least 120 miles? I wouldn't mind the extra weight on a street biased motorcycle especially if I can get more range. I just feel like Ducati has the wrong priorities. I have a weekend trip coming up where there are stretches of twisty road with no gas for 150 miles. It's annoying enough that my MT taps out at 120 miles. I found the Tuono to be too uncomfortable, the Super Duke too unreliable, but the ZH2 has caught my eye. I hear it doesn't handle as well but is super comfortable. How do you like it?

[@ninjabeast289]

I have one and I absolutely love it but damn the shit needs cruise control

[@scottgilmour2135]

Love watching Al test riding bikes on perfect looking tracks in the sun. Especially with bikes like that. Really wish I had his job 😂

Am I the only one who doesn't like dry clutches? To me they don't sound good at all it sounds like something is wrong in the engine obviously I know it's not but I just would rather my bike not sound like that.

[@LS1able]

The clutch sounds like a jar full of nails being Thrown down a flight of stairs 😆🤢🤮

[@AJSpinDrift]

What a beast. Didn't need lots of words, I felt like I was hanging onto the bike myself during the whole review. It looks incredible too.

[@azn_1050]

How about a Brutale 1000 RR review as a comparison? :D

[@badassbiker78]

I couldn't ride that bike knowing only a small stone in that clutch basket is going to end up a major costly exercise.

[@Desmo904]

Ahhhh! Now THERE's a sound I've not heard in a long time...(dry clutch plates rattling) Reminds me of my ol' 900ss.

[@deanmsimpson]

That was excellent! Great review. Great track footage. And a beautiful bike. Thank-you for taking us along for the ride 👍

[@marcusgeorge1825]

An awesome insight and I agree with you 💯! As an ex Australian Superbike racer, I get tired of hearing about what people have spent to make their bikes go faster. From my perspective, “if” you need a faster bike simply buy one. The R&D manufacturers spend simply out weighs what a “backyard” mechanic can achieve. Yes Euro5 has made this different however this is simple proof. Great to also hear a naked bike that is capable on track compared to the conventional clip ons and fairings kit. 👍😎🇦🇺

[@zakelwe]

I'd love an all black one of those ! Looking forward to the video ... you didn't give too much away on the walkaround Well done being invited.

Beautiful looking bike but why a track focused hyper naked, I’ve never understood the wanting to ride a naked bike on track or buy one with a focus to ride it as a track bike when there are so many more suitable bikes

[@ChasingTenths]

What an amazing job you guys do and what an amazing job you guys have ;)

[@fprintf]

But why a dry clutch? One of the best things about bikes is the wet clutch - easy to change, lasts longer, no worries about slipping them in the slower bits/parking lots.

great review Al, and you look great in those leathers you hotty botty xx

Looks like Ducati and made the pinnacle of motorcycles, something fast af, relatively comfy and beautiful, now just have to save some pennies to get one !

[@constantineeliadis5582]

Curious how big you think the marker segment is for a hyper super naked that can be competitive on the track ... at any price. As a 2-Ono owner, I wanted near-superbike performance and comfier on the street (and not in the "do not insure" category of insurance), and over 50, super nakeds tick all the boxes... and it's capabilities are far beyond most recreational riders anyhow ... But this, not sure the point of 2 seconds faster on the track ... Buy a $5000 R6 track bike for that ... Being faster around the track doesn't make it a better street bike ... better track suspension on a street bike the same ...If you're clocking lap times, what are you doing on a super naked anyhow? Next will be "Way to go H-D for making a Heritage Classic that's 2 seconds faster through the Starbucks drive-through ... like anyone was clocking it anyways ... Looks like you had a gas in an exclusive group... thanks for sharing but other than vicarious thrills, wonder what the real takeaway here is ... just traded the Tuono for a 1250GS... guess I'm just goin the other way! Great video stuff 44T

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Meh. I don't like the sound of the engine after it's past half-way revs. Similarly I don't care for the nasally sounds of a crossplane R1 after half-way revs. Doesn't sound as good as an RSV4, or a Vmax, or any Yamaha or Triumph or MV Agusta triple, or a 2-valve Ducati twin, or a Super Duke R.

[@_marcus_does_]

What about a v4s with carbon wheels nige?

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Only if it has the suspension too

It’s not bad at all actually. You’re leaning into it. Very linear flow. No vortex at all. Only becomes an issue at about 200kmh , but any bike does at that speed unless you become one with the tank!
