MotoGP Explained | Differences between a MotoGP & Road Bike

[@jeanquadvandamage9211]

"Don't ride a MotoGP bike on the road." I don't think anyone watching this video has to worry about that part.

[@shogun_arasaka]

I know a guy in my neighbourhood who has a Desmosedici RR in his living room. Never seen him riding it on the road, but I guess he could if he wanted to. I'm sure it wouldn't be worth the depreciation on the value though.

[@Vaitamanu]

@@shogun_arasaka So he rides it in his living room? Must be a mess. And what about the neighbours?

[@shogun_arasaka]

@@Vaitamanu Nope, he just looks at it and watches its value sky rocket by the day.

[@chrisbennett2108]

[@Dirkzy]

I dont think the average person could differentiate a moto gp bike from a consumer bike.

[@adrianblackwell29]

Crazy the differences between MotoGP to regular vs F1 to regular. MotoGP almost makes sport bikes seem like the same thing with cheaper components, F1 seems like a space program compared to a car.

[@zenzoxnph4617]

And some people just wanted motogp to be like a road sport bike rather than go all prototype, with their complain of the bikes doesnt look like a bike anymore compared to 2010's motogp... its dumb.

[@romanlee8287]

Explained in a way even my mom and dad could understand. Well done.

[@chamade166]

Difficult to understand, not sure where he’a from def not American.

[@mugenmark]

I think the biggest difference is that a Moto GP bike is almost 50kg lighter than something like a Honda RR (157kg vs 200kg) and produces something close to a rumoured 300bhp per litre which is just insane even compared to a super sports road bike.

[@mangoslice6319]

yeah GP bikes produce around 300bhp which is ridiculous considering they weigh a minimum of 346lbs, which is around the weight of my cbr300r xD I really wanna ride a gp bike once in my life

[@soraaoixxthebluesky]

@@fitnesspoint2006Even Ben Spies said he preferred the feeling of the SBK cause Motogp bike are extremely stiff (vertically). But I do believe they built the bike in such way because these Spaniard and Italian riders been pushing the bike to their absolute limit so the high rigidity felt by other riders always feels right to these Spaniards/Italians. But Miller also said that the bike always at a compromise setup you’ll never get bike that work 100% at every area. But contrary to Stoner, a multiple world champion he said on podcast there’s a day where everything feel easy and just work corner by corner so you can see the GP bike really suited a guy who’re on the edge of the limit hence the crazy vertical rigidity.

[@joonyaboy]

The biggest difference is tires, weight (every component is designed with weight and center of gravity), and longevity of parts. Street bikes are made to last, MotoGP bikes are a ticking time bomb

[@ridhwanramzi4773]

Exactly. Made to last and made to pass emission regulations/comfort requirements of customers. But if you give it a good think, a modern literbike is relatively closer to a MotoGP bike than a modern supercar is to its GT3 counterpart (other than badge, nothing is relatable.. And they have to pass road safety tests too, which makes road cars even more distant from their racing counterparts)

[@alexv5581]

How can you possibly know without being an engineer in motogp ? All you are doing is stating the obvious and trying to sound smart. "Center of gravity" ? Wtf does that mean ? Do you understand center of mass and why we prefer it closer to the ground ? Think moment and moment of inertia. Why reduce mass of moving parts in my racing bike compared to road bike ? I want to decrease inertia so things accelerate faster. This will cause faster wear rate but that's the design for that application. Design depends on the application, bitching about a motogp being a ticking bomb is dumb. The engineers intentionally designed a machine that will "explode" any moment on the pro rider right ? Trying to portray intelligence or lack thereof annoys me, and shows arrogance.

[@joonyaboy]

@@alexv5581 I wasn’t trying to sound smart. I’ve been in the paddock of the MotoGP teams back in 2013. I don’t mean a literal bomb, my friend. It just means they push the limits in a way you wouldn’t on a street bike. They used to be allotted a specific number of engines and some of those engines would blow up with only a couple races on them. This is just a fun discourse on the differences. Feel free to add and educate instead of attack.

Well the engines do have pneumatic valve systems though which allows for higher revs. The seamless gearbox might make it to road bikes eventually, I think Ducati is in the process of getting it there.

The full fairing makes it hard to cup the rocker cover in your gloved hands at traffic lights on a cold, wet day. For UK riders that is a most necessary part of motorcycle functionality.

[@Erunanethiel]

What are you talking about exactly?

[@BanjoLuke1]

@@Erunanethiel In the UK it rains and it is often cold.... If you ride something like a Guzzi, then there is a nice warm rocker cover that you can put your hands on when stationary at a junction. It dries your gloves and warms your hands. If the motor of the bike is enclosed (for example by a full fairing) then it is not possible to use the rocker covers that way.....

I painstakingly converted a Yamaha YFZ into a track bike and thankfully my country allows us to ride them on the road as long as they have lights and a license plate. The only people who REALLY notice the difference between my bike a normal street bike are other bikers. Everybody else just thinks it's a typical sport bike and asks "How many cc's is that?". I spent the value of the bike converting it into a track machine (suspension, braking systems, electronics, upgraded ceramic block, etc etc) and the biggest difference between mine and a Moto3 bike is the weight. Moto3 deliver similar outputs at half the weight, it's insane. And he's so spot on about the tires, that's something you only notice once you've used slicks... but the difference between the Pirelli Moto3 slicks and the SuperCorsas might be 3-5 seconds a lap. They're so much more forgiving and can let you get so much deeper into a turn at speed.

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Nicely done... but I think they "brush" over the fact that when you combine the lightness, carbon fibre, brakes, etc etc etc it produces the absolute missiles we all get to enjoy tearing up the race tracks! The sum of all those changes makes them very different to road bikes!

Love to know true bhp figures for moto gp machines.. if its true and they are nudging 280-300bhp that's pretty exceptional from a 1 litre N/A

[@corinful]

@Who Cares 350?? I doubt that

[@megapet777]

Honda had motoGP bike in 2003 that produced 240hp so 280hp might be possible nowadays. But keep in mind that was already pushing the envelope back then and those 1000cc engines are pretty much maxed out. So 280hp might even be too high estimate. 250hp sounds realistic. Keep in mind that the bikes are also extremely light, have better brakes, better suspension, stiffer frame, better electronics, better tires than production superbikes and all of that makes the bike faster. Not just the raw horsepower. Btw honda's 2003 motoGP bike is called RC211V and it actually had V5 engine which is pretty cool. Also fun fact: The predecessor to those early 2000's motoGP bikes were 500cc 2-stroke motoGP bikes and they actually made way more power per liter. About 400 hp / liter. Which is pretty insane from naturally aspirated engine.

[@donniebunkerboi9975]

@@megapet777 No. That's production territory. Even Panigale V4 makes 200+ we're talking about prototype cost no object here.

[@megapet777]

@@donniebunkerboi9975 No it's not production territory. That's like saying formula doesn't make much horsepower because ferrari makes almost the same power. First of all panigale v4 makes like 210-215 hp, that's very far from 250 hp. I mean we are talking about motorcycles here, not cars. Also the panigale has 1100cc engine so it wouldnt even qualify for motoGP.

[@megapet777]

@Rosario It's not that I don't believe it, but it's way more likely to fall between 250-260 hp than close to 300. Just look at the horsepower progression for liter bikes for the last decade. It's very minimal. They went from like 190 to 200 in 10 years. The bikes are starting to reach limits what you can get out of 1 liter engine. If motoGP bikes suddenly jumped from 240 to 300, it would mean that there is some new technology that is able to push the engines much harder, which would also be implemented to production bikes in some form, as many motoGP technologies has been implemented. This would make the current production bikes produce much more power than what they are producing now. But we just aren't seeing that kind of progression. The tolerances in motoGP engines were already extremely tight 20 years ago, you just can't make it tighter. You can't have infinite compression ratio etc.

The engine is geared more for performance than longevity. You won’t be doing any cross country trips without having replacement engines ready along the way. The brakes are carbon ceramic even in the wet as teams run covers. They need to be brought up to temperature before having consistent stopping power. Something highly impractical for the average street rider. The clutch is also dry as most (Ducati street bikes being the notable exception) street bikes run a wet clutch. Motogp bikes don’t use a kick stand, starter, mirrors, brake and signal lights and have a myriad of buttons on the handle bar vs the more basic buttons on a motorcycle handle bar. The subframe is bespoken for the rider, if your torso is long the subframe will be taller. If you legs are stubby the pegs will be higher.
