R1M vs Ducati V4 - WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

[@TheSpeedBug]

Which bike do you like better? Which one do you think is better?

[@stevegriffith7236]

Looks goes along way for me. Ducati still is the best looking out there.

[@TheSpeedBug]

Looks for sure, the Ducati wins, keep in mind when riding, being shallow bites you in the ass sometimes.....

[@preetamsahoo9430]

R1M reliable and that crossplane engine sound(sounds like v4 of rsv4).

[@Datfelladell]

I actually like both bikes a lot, but I am a big fan of the Ducati. Will be rocking mine for the foreseeable future. I wouldn’t kick either one out of the stable! I currently ride street only and the Ducati is painful on many levels, but so are fingernails on the back, teeth to nips, or hot wax to the abs! It is strangely gratifying!✊🏽💸🥴👍🏽

[@shekarwali6289]

I always wanted to buy 2016 r1 after riding it i bought 2017 cbr1000rr instead you should definitely test ride the 2017 cbr1000rr feels like 600cc bike with 189 horsepower 😁

[@god5156]

If you really want to feel like you are cornering, go for R1 (king of cornering & easily adapts to corner)

[@dukedaz8920]

Love the r1m looks amazing but so does the v4 hard choice but r1m for me 👌👍

[@kelz4198]

I was in the market for both. I bought the 2021 V4. It had the power to back the looks. I justified part of my decision as: If I'm going to pay nearly 25k for a bike, It's got to look the part. The R1 is a great bike, but I feel the design didn't stand out from other Japanese bikes enough for me. You've uploaded this well over two years ago. I hope you're still enjoying the R1M

[@TheSpeedBug]

Correct. I had sold it to cover the negative debt from the Ducati’s when I sold all 4 ducatis. Ducatis were just not it for me. Thanks for watching. I really did enjoy the r1m, as much as I didn’t care for Yamaha.

[@itsmeericb]

Rode a V4 today and an R1 a few days ago! And they were both amazing!

[@TheSpeedBug]

Both very cool bikes. Thanks for watching

[@Ishdeepsingh_]

Which fastest and lightest ????

[@Fearless154]

@@Ishdeepsingh_ Panigale v4 weights 436lbs or 198kilo and r1 443lbs or 201kilo. Powerwise v4 is much more powerful and faster at the straight line. As far track days go r1 is much easier to ride fast and for the average rider, it'll be faster because how easy and smooth it is. Panigale v4 pulls to violently. It's hard to manage it mid corners. But I heard Ducati fixed the issue with the 2020 model which got v4r's chassis and much smoother throttle map. But I never rode so I can't confirm if the bike is better now.

[@ragul6356]

@@Fearless154 bro correct me if I'm wrong I ducati is all powerful , I don't think what you just told about R1 out of what I heard R1s power delivery is insane , I'm not sure about the top end , but R1 from the start to the mid , the power delivery is abrupt and I've heard riders say that you could really feel the power compared to other bikes like zx, bmw and the others. Like I said am not sure but from what I've heard and known R1s power delivery is definitely not smooth , like that's the characteristics of of crossplane engine. Correct me if am wrong dude

[@Fearless154]

@@ragul6356 I"m talking about track riding, not the street R1 is powerful in the mid-range but it makes the power linearly and predictably. R1 is a bit snappy in lower rpm so riding in traffic can be unpleasant but when it gets going it smoothens out. On the track, the engine is smooth and easy to use plenty of grunt in a very controllable way. characteristics of cross-plane are. sounds like a v4 engine and it produces more midrange compared to flat crank inline 4 but a slightly less top end. it doesn't mean it's not a smooth engine.

[@iSVX1103]

So which is more faster and powerful R1m or V4 or BMW??

[@TheSpeedBug]

Thanks for watching. My bmw would whoop on all of them in a straight line. Add turns it’s a different sorry. But each bike is better at its own think. Then owner has to make the best decision for them and the application.

[@iSVX1103]

[@Man_With_Brain.]

If you know how to ride properly, than R1M .

[@paulwren1722]

Had a 2015 R1.It would never start,spent more time in the dealers than riding it,then had to have a new gearbox fitted,I just got my money back on it.Got a v4 now,it’s got the oil leak from the oil cooler,and the clutch needs bleeding every 100 miles,maybe these bikes are just not developed enough before being released.

[@TheSpeedBug]

Damn, well first, thanks for watching. The 15 vs the 18 R1M is night at day in my eyes, the only reason I bought it. My V4 has had its fair share of issues as well. Yes, a recall for the oil cooler was just released. Seems they cut a lot of corners sometimes to save weight..

[@mattwang8118]

ya 2015 r1 had a gearbox recall

[@TheSpeedBug]

Good thing there was a recall.

[@saswatmishra2759]

Which is a better track bike among new S1000RR, R1 and Panigale V4 for scoring low lap times in race track ? And why ?

[@TheSpeedBug]

As much as I dislike Yamaha, I liked the Yamaha the most. As far as leaning the Ducati, east to ride, the Yamaha, nimble the bmw, brakes Ducati, gadget bmw, ride home, Yamaha.

[@erlanmetaka7416]

It’s not always about speed it’s about How comfortable when you’re riding the bike so I preferred to That r1m And I think V4s is too overprice

[@TheSpeedBug]

Thanks for watching. You are 100% right, it is also about how comfortable you are on the bike.

[@kelz4198]

I have the 2021 V4. I ride it on the streets...almost every day. feels comfortable to me. Ducati V4

[@TheSpeedBug]

Glad you like it. But I think it will ware off quickly. Congrats on your new bike, thanks for watching.

[@RobertPaulson87]

I've ridden both bikes and for the street, the Panigale wins hands down in my opinion. The R1M's spongey feeling brakes, aggresive riding position, no power in the low to mid range, choppy throttle make it tough to enjoy on the street. The R1M does look great though and is around 25% less to purchase. I will admit the heat off the V4 would be the only downside for me on the street though.

[@TheSpeedBug]

Thanks for watching my friend. Valid points. Valid points. Appreciate your input.

[@JVSKRR-is7qr]

Not really video related.but which bike is better for street and track. The duc v4,or aprilia rf? Planning to sell the Bmw rr or just keep it.

[@TheSpeedBug]

Thanks buddy, thanks for watching.

[@mosoliman4489]

SB Awesome analysis on both Beasts its simple for curious viewers if you want a street / track beast the R1M will cover both vs the Duc which is a track weapon but not so comfy on the street .From my own exp my 15 R1M did not like low speeds unless it was short shifted the bike & was on the throttle to be smooth I am talking about 1/2 gear under 5000 RPM .The bike was tuned by a reputable shop

[@TheSpeedBug]

You are correct, that crankshaft is rev happy.

R1, thanks buddy for watching

[@optony9606]

I have 2015 s1000rr with HP4 rims. My next pick would have been the V4 2018ish or R1 2020 what you think? Stay on s1000rr and keep adding better parts or?

[@TheSpeedBug]

I would NOT trade that bmw for a v4. You will hate it. the R1 is cool, but not friendly low on the street with that crank. Keep your BMW of those two. As I had all of them at the same time. Thanks for watching.

[@TheSpeedBug]

Mind explaining why you think so?

[@eltonlong8521]

Yup..dont compare it,just buy what you like..

[@Inspirikus]

From all supersport that i had and had chance to ride...V4S would be one of most comfortable. Part that I dislike a lot was heat under seat...even if you ride fast it is there. On side note u ride basic model V4 and i had chance to ride both and it is big difference. You are also comparing V4 vs R1M. If you should to compare you should compare it with V4Special. R1M and R1 I hated for the street seat is to high 875mm position is extremely aggressive compared to all others and that bike was made for track only. Throttle response is terrible even after dyno tune and remapping. What i do like is sound and agility. S1KRR was very comfortable and very good overall bike for day to day but lack excitement same as all other IL4. RSV was fantastic for track and its ok for street. Sound poorn...

[@TheSpeedBug]

Thank you for watching and your comment. The heat from the Duc is ridiculous. No matter what, it's there. R1M seat is very tall, and i find it to be more comfy than the V4 in my opinion. Throttle before and after my tune was night and day, I am very happy with the outcome. I have had the V4S as well. Here in the video is the base. I actually prefer the base over the S, my preference. S1k is still the best ALL AROUND superbike. RSV is nice and has great sound, in my opinion I think its has to be one of the most ugly bikes almost ever made, but a solid performer cant argue that. Ride safe my guy.
