I have 1 big question!!! How come you didn’t use the zx10rr when you used the most premium versions of all the other bikes. It may not have made a big difference in placing but fair is fair. A better Rotational mass may have made a difference of how well the bike handles at least. And considering the standard ninja you used is almost half the price of 3 of these bikes I think that should be taken into consideration of value for money.

[@rampage3337]

i think the fact that the suzuki scored so high tells you all you need to know about how they rate these bikes. and also the fact that they complain about high revs needed for power as if down shifting wasn't a thing. i don't think the suzuki is a bad bike but you can't really rate it higher than the rest as it's just such a old model

2 thumbs up for a great review but one thing is abundantly clear, a panel of European riders voted all European bikes above all Japanese bikes and we all know that no manufacturer can compete against best value for money and more importantly, the reliability that Japanese bikes offer. And to most riders, I suspect, those attributes are at the top of the list. Good job, mates!

[@adrianbroughton9752]

I totally agree that the Japanese bikes offer great value for money and factors like that often make them the best *choice* of bike to buy. But this review is looking for the "ultimate" bike, so price just doesn't come into the equation.

I actually think price and reliability is an enormous factor in what is the ultimate bike. If price didn't matter all of these bikes would be even better. Its about how much you get for your money.

I just swapped my 2018 GSXR-R. It is indeed an awesome bike. Now I have an R-1, which is another awesome bike which also makes a great sound. I am slowly working my way through the roll call of 1000cc sport-bikes. Kwacker - Tick, BMW - Tick, Suzuki (x2) - Tick, and now Yamaha. For some odd reason the Honda doesn't appeal and I have had mixed experiences with Ducati and Aprilia in the past so I am not in much of a hurry to try their offerings. You're right though, it's definitely a golden era which I am sure that some dreary politico or bureaucrat is planning on spoiling soon. Get your fill while you can - it makes perfect sense......

Cuz : Such a beautiful sound , the exhaust sound changes as the rev increases , from sophisticated in the low to the roaring in the high , Mechanically (a mechanical engineer here) , and as a bike enthusiast, 3 Cyls are the best when it comes to power delivery, low end torque + top end rush , and due to triumphs T-plane crankshaft (perfect secondary balance) this thing revs very high for a engine that size , and reaches redline quicker than any I4... I've plenty experience, owned an R1 (sold last year and got a cycle), r6, zx 10r, the busa, Zh2, RSV4, panigale, cbr 1000, and z900 , daytona 675, street triple 675RS, (owned all these for a while and traded these ) RE bikes,and what not , but i find three cyls the best among inline 4s and 2s (Vs are better ). (Except some radicals i4s ). Everybody has to return to relaxed riding.

[@Fearless154]

You don't have to buy the SP model the S or the standard v4 will do the trick. I actually prefer the standard suspension instead of semi-active for the track riding anyway. I own a 2017 Tuono 1100 factory and I love it but honestly, Ducati bikes are much more special and better put together. And the biggest con for the Aprilia they just don't have the parts available worldwide and you can possibly wait for few months till you get the parts you need, which will be a big issue especially if you're planning to make it a track bike.

[@Jay-yg8jj]

First things first, the Aprilia SMACKS the Duck on track. Last track test I saw it was over half a second faster per lap, and that's being down on claimed power AND heavier. Ape is 100% the way to go for track days. Same way the Tuono smacks the V4 Streetfighter in handling and power til 10k rpm

[@Fearless154]

@@Jay-yg8jj Depends on who you ask, Stock trim rsv4 1100 is easier to ride fast and make better lap times, but the Panigale v4 2020+ model is a far more capable bike with higher potential, the electronics are much better on Ducati, and that the v4r chassis is a far better one. About Tuono vs SF v4 like legit in any track test from MCN to 44 teeth, SF4 was a much faster bike on the track but Tuono is nicer on the street because of its torquey nature but SF v4 torque delivery is highly restricted in the first 2 gears, flashed SF v4 feels just as torquey but with much higher top-end power.

I do have to disagree with this list. I work at a motorcycle dealership and i can give my two cents. 1. Everyday riding is about the heat of the engine, brakes bite, suspension comfort, leaning forward on the handlebars, and the controls such as the TFT screen and so on. If you have ridden in traffic and around town, than you would understand. The everyday rider does not hit corners everytime they ride. The Ducati cannot be the winner. It is hot to the touch everytime you ride it, suspension is firm, you are leaning to far forward compared to the others, you wasted more gas as well. No one can actually ride this bike everyday. Its too much. You guys were a little biased with this test.

I love " who signed off on that? ", great point indeed. Engine heat, and how much of it cooks the rider, was never mentioned in this review.

After years of roasting my nuts on superbikes with undertail exhausts, I had enough. That's why the 2018 GSXR1000 is my current ride. In addition to having a stellar front end, potent torque everywhere, and comfortable ergonomics, IT RUNS COOL. Trust me.

Great review lads. Detailed and thorough assessments - keep it up

[@Schleberger]

Finally somebody acknowledges that the Fireblade engine is absolutely useless on the road. Absolutely no power under 7k rpm combined with super long gearing. In most countries you'll hit the speed limit at around 7k rpm in 1st gear! Less useable power than most 600cc supersports.

[@pherron7471]

LOL If you're being honest and not a fanboy all these bikes are useless on the road. The super naked are better road bikes overall.

[@Schleberger]

@@pherron7471 That wasn't my point though. I ride an Aprilia Tuono myself and agree that nakeds are generally better suited for road use. Earlier generations of the Fireblade always had amazing engines for road-use but lacked the top-end to be competitive on track. The newest gen is a weapon on track but not a good road bike anymore. If you ever get to test-ride a newest gen Fireblade, you'll understand. Other manufacturers definitely manage this split better. PS: I own an Aprilia, a Harley aswell as a Suzuki (and currently looking for a previous gen Fireblade), so I'm definitely not a brand snob or fanboy by any means.

How can you rate the brakes of R1M higher than CBR ? Regarding the engine department, you have just rated the bikes according to how they make power delivery from low end to mid range, without considering the top end performance ?

[@adrianbroughton9752]

To be fair this was just the "on road" section of the test, so bikes with good bottom-end and midrange and shorter gearing will shine here. Bikes like the CBR will score their engine points in the track test, but at road-legal speeds you just cant get the most out of those engines. I've got a 2017 CBR-1000RR and it's a great bike but it's geared so tall that even in 1st gear you need to be over 90km/h before you hit the power band. The newer RR-R makes its power even higher in the rev range. My wife rides a Panigale 959 with around 40hp less power than the Fireblade but it feels punchier and faster around town because of it's power delivery. It's only when you go north of 9k rpm that the Panigale tapers off while the Fireblade is just getting started.
