[@christophergubert8874]

I have the pleasure of being able to comment on both the MV Agusta and the Ducati as I have owned both brands... my comment is simply this... as I get older, the things that were important to me about sport bikes and riding in general have changed. In a lot of ways, yes, the MV Agusta was a superior bike when you look at it simply from the performance perspective. However, that isn't necessarily the REASON that someone buys a bike. I've owned many bikes, but I have owned an MV Agusta F3, a Ducati 1098, a Ducati Scrambler and most recently, I've just purchased a Ducati 999. One things that I can say about Ducati that I can't say about MV Agusta to this point, is that my experience with Ducati has been visceral... I have thoroughly enjoyed my Ducati's and they keep brining me back for more. Some of the concerns that you expressed about MV were some of the primary reasons why I let mine go (very quickly I might add.. I don't think I kept that bike a full season where as I owned my 1098 for 4 years) because of lack of service centers, and the high cost and lack of availability of parts in the event of a failure. I don't think customers buying these bikes are expecting the pinnacle of performance.. I think we buy them for the experience. You can't deny that the Ducati 999 has a sound and a look that is unparalleled (even when comparing it against a beautiful machine such as the MV F4). But I would buy the 999 over that MV everyday of the week and twice on Sunday's because of how it makes me feel more than 2.5 seconds on the track. Now I get it, if Ducati was making trash, well then people would only accept that to a point, but they aren't. The bikes are powerful, durable, fun to ride, easy to handle in addition to being the best looking machines on the road with exhaust notes that make me pee pee myself when I hear them. Take it for what it's worth, but for me, the Ducati was the bike to watch through the entire series. Now, as far as the series was concerned, this was thoroughly enjoyable to watch... you have to know it takes a lot for me to spend 30 minutes writing a comment on KZbin content, so kudo's to you both because this was a fun series to watch! Thank you.

[@veeken777]

Looking for a used full exhaust system for my 05 999s. To make it sound phookin loud 🤣

[@CS-Loc]

Interesting take, as I've only owned Ducati's and have finally acquired a 2007 F4 myself. There is something intangible about the angry nature of that monster 4 that my Ducati Tamburini's just didn't have. It's frenetic, loud, hot, mean, and lives above 80mph on the highway and in the mountains. I wish he had an exhaust system on this 1078, because my Ti-system on my F4 makes every Ducati i've owned feel pedestrian. It absolutely screams. Either of them are why you ride a bike: for the experience. ZX-10's and S1000RR's are faster, probably "better". But they don't exude the character or emotion of the Italian bikes.

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

Please do one called "The Big Bike Battle" where you each get the biggest bike possible. Like a Goldwing, BMW K1600, Harley Davidson CVO etc... Then the challenges could involve things that big bikes shouldn't do, like a trackday on a go-kart track, a ride through the middle of Amsterdam, go to a quarry and see who can carry the most gravel back to England in the luggage etc...

I would love to see a twist on the BBB where you guys buy each other's bike and then are able to modify it or fix it up within a budget. Then once they are done being fixed up do a reveal, and show off whatever nefarious mods you came up with. Wooden plank seat? ape hanger bars? Hello kitty wrap? A stereo that only plays Genesis? An absurdly loud exhaust?

[@Black_Gold_Saw]

Sounds fun, however knowing european laws that will probably be a shitload of problems they'd encounter. Europe is very strict with these kinds of rules. Putting an aftermarket slip on exhaust can cause problems with noise :S Depends on how grumpy the police is.

[@TalontheTemplar]

Having ridden and raced Japanese bikes for years and then purchasing a 999 brand new in 2003, even with stock gearing, there were few inline fours that would match the 999’s torquey pull out of the corners. And the handling, again stock out of the crate, was on rails. I looked and it stuck. Awesome video series mates and if you ever want to come to the state and record a series on some awesome backroads in southern Missouri (Ozark foothills), I’ll host you all and pit my RC51 against whatever you find.

Back in 2001 I was riding Europe with some friends, one of whom was on a then newish ST2 Ducati. On one day near the end I was near the back on an RF900, watching the puffs of smoke from the ST a long way ahead getting larger and larger. Fortunately the RF had the power to pass the others in between, get up level with him, and wave him down. Good job I did. The cartridge oil filter was on the lower r/h/s of the engine, right next to the fairing, which had fretted against it and worn through the shell. For the only time in my life I can say I might actually have saved someone's life. By the time I stopped him, there was oil all over his exhaust (hence the smoke): much more worryingly, there was oil all over the r/h/s of his rear tyre! :O

Did several euro-blasts on it and it was a great bike except for cooking my nads and blistering my thighs with the exhausts and pissing coolant out at the hint of slow traffic.

[@kashsantos12]

I really feel so sorry for Chris and his Swiss riding fine experience. Amazingly it could have been so much worse if he had been caught going just 2 kph faster than he was. The 12 months minimum prison sentence is so draconian especially for visitors or tourists that don't know the local laws and regulations. And jail ain't free in Switzerland !!! You have got to pay 40 francs per day in jail cell rent. It's horrifically unfair. Chris's 4000 fine could so easily have turned into 1 years worth of jail cell rent at 14,600 francs, plus a minimum of 12,000 court fees and a massive fine based on either his current income or a massive chunk of your net worth (25%) instead if you happen to loose your job income while being detained 3 months in jail awaiting the court trial. The vehicle is usually auctioned off to pay part of costs. Then if you are still unable to pay the rest, they sell off your remaining assets like house or flat. After 12 months rotting in jail you have no job, no home, no wheels and probably no wifey after she abandons you. And this is why all the locals drive so slowly. Jail in Switzerland involves 23 hrs per day in solitary confinement with only 1 hr of daylight in a shared courtyard. And shared with killers and murders. I come from a small tennis playing village called Wimbledon in South London and moved to Switzerland recently. I have just discovered this draconian disaster. I am so careful to drive as slow as possible now, because the speed limits keep changing back and forth in between 30, 50 or 80 kph on the same piece of road !!! It really is so easy to accidentally break the speed limit if you miss one road sign changing 80 to 50 or even worse 30. Because in town the 1 year jail sentence ruin your life threshold is not 60kph over the speed limit, it's only 41kph over the limit. Less than the difference between 80 kph and a sudden change to 30 kph. So if you are unlucky, get distracted by your kids in the back seat and miss the 30 kph sign from an 80 kph zone then you are in deep jail cell trouble. All I can say to everyone interested in having a fast fun driving or riding holiday in Central Europe is to stay far away from Switzerland. For the sake of your freedom and personel liberty please do not cross the boarder in a car or a fast bike. I know all of this because I live in Switzerland and all the above has actually happened to some of my friends and colleagues. Their lives have been absolutely ruined by the draconian Swiss driving laws. Last summer I missed a 50 sign from an 80 zone after my little boy distracted me in the passenger seat. Luckily I was driving like an old fart doing only 72 kph in the 80 kph zone. The police chased after me. I have a very tasty old 911 twin turbo with 480hp. I was so tempted to push the loud pedal and leave the cops behind for dust. In the back streets of Wimbledon, South London this is so easy to do if you have enough horses under your right foot and if the local rozzers have a dirty old 100hp Astra diesel. But these two fat arse Swiss cops had a beefy looking BMW and heavy duty guns and riffles, so I pulled over. They claimed that I was doing 72 in 50 zone and they will remove 6 kph to fine me based on 66 kph in a 50 limit. I had to pay an on the spot fine deposit of 1500 francs or my old twin turbo 911 was going to be impounded and my ass would be taken to jail. I begged the cops to please let me off and I even showed them my little 2 year old boy explaining that he was messing around and distracted me when we drove past the 50 kph sign. They didn't care it was either a 1500 deposit for the fine or jail and kiss goodbye to the car and my little boy was potentially going into temporary foster care. I so was furious with them. But what can you do ? The law is the law. And these cops had big powerful guns and rifles. To everyone reading this I promise you what happened to me is a 100% true story from last summer. I also got a 3 month driving ban like Chris did above. This was very painful for me because I need my car for work. And the speeding incident was just an accident from me and not on purpose. No one got hurt apart from my wallet getting lighter. In the end they gave me 400 back because the fine and court costs were 1100. The moral of the story is please stay away from Switzerland if you are a driver or rider needing to navigate through central Europe. One small distraction or mistake and you are sent to prison for 1 year. No appeal no probation.

[@rogerkay8603]

Yes, loved my Storms (had two, still on the forum!)

[@terrencefu4473]

I have to agree, best series on KZbin hands down. Loved every episode and had a good ol' laugh at your antics. Now, can we have more please?!!

[@papatonys]

How is that premiere thing working out lads? :')

[@BaronVonGrumble]

pretty badly so far 😂😂😂😂😂

[@gnarshread]

Son of B#%TCH! I gotta wait 3 hours? Worth it!

[@L3eh123]

This series has kept me thoroughly entertained over the last week. The shop needs more merch! Great work guys!

[@clarebaldingofficial5081]

Remember guys Phil Collins lives in Switzerland which surely makes it a no go zone! Anyway I met him once with Alan Titchmarsh, all I can say - absolute cu××. Anyhow loved the series guys, keep up the good work.

[@MuadDib1402]

Did you suggest to him that with all the tax money he's saved living in switzerland he could get fix his baldness?

[@moviebod]

I always though Alan was very sensible.

[@Lenny101]

BBB is the best series on youtube. Is love to see a proper Bibb like bikes under a grand with an mot and you're not allowed to fix anything unless it's proper dangerous

[@Buc4Games]

Budget track bike battle!

[@RidingJapan]

Thought we already had that xD

[@Nomads_Rowing]

No, thank you😎 Guys, I stubbled across your channel by accident but landed up binge watching the current and back catalogue. Your ability to test the latest exotica I could only dream of owning through to the BBBs (still cannot afford one 🥺), has been excellent along with the quality and well edited footage through to the audio banter with each other whilst ringing the necks of some stunning machinery. Keep it going - totally unique Ps: top class bike porn - eating pizza astride a yellow (I’m with you on that Chris) 916. A very useful follow up to that would be the buying process of that classic so if one sunny day I can afford one - what to look out for/avoid would be priceless 🥳

"Sponsored by Ze Boot Bananas" LOL

[@2_Bike_is_Life]

Simply the most entertaining series I've seen, in any format, in a long time. Well done.

[@ivorgreenplant]

got an idea for ya lads ... buy a bike for less than what you got fined for speeding challange .. pmsl

[@gerardmontgomery280]

I love a V twin but that MV is a work of art. Still blistering by today's standard. I'd love a 3 cylinder Dragster but like you said, the dealer problem. If HD own them, then they really need to starting servicing then at HD dealers.

[@sportbikejesus]

Ride 125cc or less to Africa

[@lexian5602]

Ride 50cc to Australia

[@firebolt20031]

Watched the entire Italian shootout! Great videos. Great story, great planning and wonderful entertainment. I would love to support you guys.

[@boyle1990]

Maxi scooter bbb... People like it when you are suffering...

[@yumpbalump]

Good call.

[@tonidnzl1765]

Those budget bike battles just make me wanna ride :D

[@progste]

Leave on a Ducati, come back on a Ducato.

[@enqrob]

Genius, just pure comic genius! Love it, bring on the next battle! 2 stroke would be fun, mainly because Perkins is so 'eggy' about it 😅😅

[@motomehanicar459]

What about Honda CBR600F2 vs Yamaha FZR 600 for the next budget bike battle?

[@Jonofthejungle26]

Well deserved win. Seeing where it was made really knocked it out the park!

[@NonStoppie]

the MV grew on me. Do a sidecar challenge.

[@ashtonmariefranklin725]

To this day. I still find the Ducati 999 a beautiful looking motorcycle, mostly because it bent the normal for Ducati.

[@Da.Onus.Burger.618]

SUGGESTION FOR A FUTURE BBB: Come to America, find a couple of inexpensive cruisers in Florida or California, and ride them to the other side of the country. #justDOit

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

How complicated would it be to purchase, register and insure bikes in the USA, ride them across the country whilst filming, finishing in a different state and doing it all on a tourist visa? The application for said visa would also require the mentioning of a conviction for speeding resulting in a 3 month ban from Switzerland? I have no idea if any of that stuff would matter as I'm not an American but maybe you do...?

[@NathanSGuitar94]

Probably wouldn't be ridiculously unreasonable. There's plenty of bikes on Craigslist and I'm sure a US dealer could sponsor and support the boys by sorting registration, insurance and maybe even bikes. The speeding convictions may be tricky but it was a fine and not a jail sentence so I'm sure it'll be fine. Filming would be tricky but perhaps a bump in sponsorship funding could sort that out.

[@Da.Onus.Burger.618]

@@cliveramsbotty6077 - Good questions. I know a tourist visa normally lasts at least 6 mos; I'm sure Chris knows more about this as he's come over here and ridden bikes in California in the past for his BvG channel. Registration and insurance wouldn't be too difficult, maybe a few days maximum to complete registration or have someone do the registration for them as a courtesy so they don't have to deal with that. Also, and I'm sure they can find someone in the US to "sponsor" them, especially with all of the corporate connections these guys have. Logistically, I believe it would be an easy thing to do; just gotta get across the pond and start the grind!

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

It's nice to see how optimistic you are but none of you appear to have any solid answers to the issues I raised.... Would it be possible to register and insure motorcycles in the USA as tourists on a 90 day ESTA? Would arrests and convictions in another country prevent someone from getting an ESTA? Would sponsorship constitute employment?

[@plebgevalorant9410]

1000cc Plus Naked, loved this series it was like the good old top gear challenges where their banter just bounces off each other and is entertaining as hell.

[@cameronblack293]

BBB3 - Harley Davidsons. I want to see you both have a really shit time. Peace x

[@pablomusi2679]

Incredible series! Congratulations. What would be the best budget bike for track days?

[@10secondsrule]

Chris is so milking his win.... it’s kind of sad. I know it might sound strange you both win having a great time, yes f4 is way faster and prettier but I’d still take 999. And yes Chris yellow is so much cooler than red. Don’t ask my why. I think 2 stroke challenge is a bit pointless. They are going to be of the road soon plus they stink like hell and sound extremely annoying. How about building a budget track bike challenge? Or retro? Like real retro not modern inspired by...

[@leeshepherd3899]

This series has been Absoloutely fantastic. Sorry I’ve only just found it. Bought a load of merch to support this. Amazing.
