Done seen 3 or 4 of these shootouts and so far the Aprilia has won, the R1 has won, the BMW has won, and the CBR has won. Basically, you can’t go wrong with any of these. Find one that you like and that’s the end of it. Happy riding.

[@Aleksz777]

[@iTxip]

its really the absolute first time i hear someone say that is hard to adjust the traction control in the aprilia, its had those 2 paddles perfectly placed for your left index and thumb (thumb +1 index -1) since 2010, on the fly, no need to change ride modes or enter any menu, if you feel slippiness you press your thumb, if you feel the tc too early you press with your index. easiest fastest TC controls EVER

[@osark2487]

With Kawasaki dominating world Superbike for quite a while in the last decade, any comparison without the ZX10R is crazy

Not fair for Suzuki , why did not tested the R version with all the electronics , autobliper, quick shifter, traction control, abs, cornering abs...etc....

[@CBRboy1717]

Base model shootout....

CBRboy1717 GSX-RR is cheaper than others full model, no doubt that for the price and performance (the engine it's absolutely top notch) the Gixxer is the bike of 2017. Regarding vibration, it has equal or less than S1000RR, the price to pay for a very high Rev engine with just one counter balancer. (Like almost all RR bikes from 1986 to 2012, nothing to worry about)

[@jordanwood5865]

They probably couldn't.

[@racerx6384]

Have the gsxr 1000r ive ridden all these bikes except the honda before i purchased. Including s1000rr. Only one that was really tugging at my heart was the aprilia. I got the suzuki because My previous bike was a 750 and i felt i would have better reliability with it. Besides the aprilia i think its the best of the bunch.

[@cam9868]

Not fair for Yamaha, why did not tested the R1M? Not fair for Aprilia, why did not tested the RSV4 RF? Not fair for Honda, why did not tested the RC213V-S? The RC would destroy all of these bikes. In conclusion, quit whining. Suzuki is lucky their motorcycle was even featured with that humpback whale ass looking shike.

[@MrDannycoutin]

U guys are comparing top models and use a gsxr base model why didnt u guys grabbed the r version that bike is known already for making every other brand look inferior the r version is very different that the base model

[@shriharshmhatre8541]

I am in love with CBR 1000rr

[@teej5619]

Well im not at the 1000 yet.... But i bought my 2016 500r cause she looked better than ninja and the r3....and she's the most comfortable to be on😏...😂👍

[@Sleepy_Alligator]

I want the cbr1000rr sp badly. Suppose it's a bit down on power compared to the other liter bikes but its refinement and build quality is off the charts. Rumor has it next year there will be an increase in power to over 200 hp and it will clearly be the bike to beat. In any case I agree with M. Davis in that very few riders can actually use all that power anyway. Amazing machine as is.

[@hfr8343]

Sounds like the CBR is the best street bike for normal riders like myself. User friendly, good ergos, responsive handling and light. 150 hp is plenty and it looks great with the usual quality honda fit and finish

[@kendrickh91]

HFR83 I have one and she's awesome! I'm no street Rossi so she's perfect. Plus she's very smooth so when the power does kick it you'll feel like you're on a 170hp+ machine.

[@hfr8343]

Kendrick H That matte black and red color scheme is gorgeous. When I make the leap to a liter bike I think it'll be the new fireblade. Glad you're enjoying it bro

[@Kurlach]

HFR83 I wouldn't worry about the Bhp figures anyway, it doesn't mean shit in the real world. I have a SP and have taken it up to 180mph, with more to go. I'd say that's fast enough for anyone ;)

[@scottydoesntno]

Honda is the most underrated brand for sportbikes they are everything you need but they aren't as exciting as R1's and RSV4's,but 99% of the people riding aren't pushing these bikes to their absolute limits anyways. I'd say the CBR is the makes the most sense for most street riders because the ergos are better for the street every Honda I have ridden is super confidence inspiring and they are super reliable.

[@jitterball]

The challenge is being thrown at you, when you find out that Honda is the almost the same price as Aprilia...

[@minekaiju77]

[@u9Nails]

There's no losers in this pack. Each bike can be the best in another measure, if that's price, comfort, performance, or looks. It's mind blowing how truly excellent each bike here is. I want them all!

[@polarbear111000]

I bought an 2016 RSV4 RF last summer. I've been riding since I was six ('76). I've owned CBRs, GSX-Rs, Ducatis, Yamahas, and ZX-7s..... pretty much bikes from every major manufacturer with the exception of BMW, Triumph, and MV Agusta. I have to say, the RSV4 RF is by far the most incredible bike I've owned. It brings with it the Italian styling and sound, but provides smoothness and reliability of the Japanese bikes. I accept that you have declared the R1 as the best, but I've owned many Japanese bikes, and within a year or two I'm bored with them. The bike I owned before the Aprilia was a Ducati 999 which I had since new in 2003..........over a decade. I never grew tired of it, it just became tired amongst the newest bikes, so it was time to go. Italian bikes bring something to the table that the Japanese bikes can't. Which bike will you want in your garage after a couple of years? The Aprilia....... Also, the sound of that V4, even with stock exhaust.............epic. It's the only sport bike I've owned that doesn't need an aftermarket exhaust. You don't need to touch it.

[@sk2283]

I agree with that ! I have hd 3 RSV4's and currently have a 2017, its true ALL the japanese bikes you have to upgrade brakes or suspension or exhaust etc. the RSV4 is the complete package out of the showroom, awesome bike.

[@subhammandal2552]

Just a quick question bro, what's the cost of maintenance annually as I'm planning to buy one... And doest it break down really often

[@sk2283]

SUBHAM MANDAL same as any other sports bike - oil & filter changes every year valve check at 12000 miles from memory - easily as reliable as any other sports bike, I have had 3 and done about 15k miles between then without issues, it’s an amazing bike

[@ClayTorres69]

One thing I have notice with all Honda bikes - It's not the best at anything but good at everything. Sounds like a reliable bike to me.

[@oprator81]

Yamaha R1 and comfort dont go hand in hand. You will be uncomfortable on that bike within 15mins or riding it. Wrists mainly. Superb bike though, I have two.

[@modernwarriorsystems7347]

Suzuki is owning MA right now. They're killing it in racing.

[@modernwarriorsystems7347]

Jeremy Robertson Yep exactly. The GSXR 1000 is finally back. We haven't had a REALLY good one since the 05/06 generation. I like the 07/08's a lot too, but they one that went from 2009-2016 was not good.

[@cbrad6002013]

Just have to say that it's a bit confusing that all arounds is gsxr and honda .. yet u have gsxr 1st and honda last .. technically speaking of the gsxr and honda are all around better averaging it out than u shoulda chose 1 , 2 honda ,Suzuki or vice versa .. seam weird to me that r1 and aprilia beat honda because of 1 category you liked better ..

[@cbrad6002013]

[@dbauernf]

I'd pick the CBR from this bunch, guess I'm getting old. It also looks the best to me.

[@kendrickh91]

dbauernf I have one and love her!

[@Barwood35]

They talk about low power on the cbr. If you red line it in any gear your waaaaaay over the speed limit. Plenty enough for the road. I love mine.

[@MyDadWasALifeguard]

I rode a friends new CBR this weekend ..it’s a really great bike..I’m not surprised having own ed prior 1000 and 600’s The RSV is the best street motorcycle I’ve ever ridden..The Tuono is a close second..Aprilia really have something special going on in those bikes

[@meanwhileinbronze.5655]

dbauernf looks the best out of the Japanese bikes by far. But, not better looking than the Aprilia. I have a CBR 954rr and even with it being a 2002 model I don't think I'll ever be able to get everything out of it. 99% of people won't either. All these bikes have mote power than you'll ever need.

[@stevenfarrington2361]

Great video! As a car mechanic and non-bike guy I learnt a lot. Kudos to the production team too!

[@jsin22366322]

I was one of the first ones to have the r1 having placed my order in late 2014. And to this day, with 20,000 miles on clock, it still beats everything out there. Once I hit that second gear, I’m gone! I’ve trounced the new zx10r’s, s1000rr’s, and pre 2017 liter bikes so readily. The r1 is where it’s at!

[@adamstratford6740]

Rsv4 💯 although all these litre bikes are amazing definitely Rsv4 for me 🏍💨💨

[@jdb3160]

I’ve got the CBR. I moved up from an R6 and holy shit! The power is crazy. To me, at least.

[@Fearless154]

Well, of course, compared to the r6. But when you switching between litre bikes you will start to notice how much less powerful it is. It's still a beast and very fast bike but not as potent as other superbikes.

[@jaguarmendez3838]

CBR1000RR is the best one! It has everything!

[@debashishjena]

R1 has a face similar to iron man!!

[@cyclepowered8799]

[@kenfloe3536]

in my opinion. Yamaha R1 and suzuki GSXR 1000R is the top two best. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟🏽🤟🏽

[@lingenfelterzeeohhsix8154]

I agree completely r1! I've had ducatis, R1's , rsv4 , and a car 1000rr and the r1 was my favorite bike , but now I jsut bought the new 2017 Yamaha FZ10 (the naked r1 ) supernaked and it is the most fun I've ever had on a bike, has the same cross plane crank 998 cc motor same frame, swingarm, brakes, electronics as the r1 it truley is a supernaked r1 regardless of how Yamaha doesn't like that comparison. Best part is it was RE-tuned for a broad power curve, low and midrange power is insane, it power wheelies by accident in any gear but 6th which u can still get it up but needs the clutch, hat power wth the factory larger rear sprocket makes it anninsane wheelie hooligan, cruise control and upright bars makes it long distance friendly, best of all thonis that rsv4 sound that the crass plane crank r1 motor makes, I ripped the cat out and its closest to a moto GP bike I've ever heard! If u haven't rode one go demo one! It's easy to see why the r1 is still at #1 in so many comparisons, the fz10 jsut reinforces that. Love the video and waiting for a supernaked comparison soon!? New Tuono 1100, FZ10, s1000R , superduke, lets see it guys! Sales for supernakeds for 2016 DOUBLED the decreasing superbikes sales , it's a new trend where u can get the same power (except for Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki ) as a superbikes but do it comfortable with crusidecontrol and non back breaking riding position. I love superbikes but as someone with a back injury , supernakeds are great for those that have a hard time . Please give us supernakeds a new comparison!

[@jordanwood5865]

Well, it is like you said, we all have our own opinion. I will remind you because it wasn't stated, it is all about the rider. AMA, referencing the R1 as the best. Well, the gixxer is killing it and the ZX10R is right behind(not even in this test). Aprilia, is getting crushed by all the other bikes except for the Honda. So, with all of that and many more in mind, you may have your opinion.

I stored my bike at a mates once and here liked my Aprilia so much he went out and bought the tuono 1100,and fell in love with it.

Let me get this straight, you have the Aprilia RR, Honda RR, but only the Suzuki R?? Say what, you boyz messed up this Review sumin' terrible. The Suzuki mid-range and top end is relentless, and unlike Aprilia, Suzuki had to cut their top end via the ECU to please U.S. Regs. The Suzuki RR has sensitivity setting for the Quick/Blip shifter, performance suspension, traction control, launch control, Lap Timer. Several times hot into a corner, the blip shifter was spot on, and when I got too aggressive the slipper did it's job. My only beef is brake fade, an easy fix with race brake lines, about to be installed soon. And guess what boyz, all we did was have the throttle body butterfly valves stay open 100%, at all RPMs, via a simple ECU flash and BANG this beast made 181 hp, with stock exhaust!! GSX-R1000R is a weapon, just take a look at Tony and Roger beatin' up on those precious R1Ms in MotoAmerica, that tells you all you need to know. The GSX-R1000R has been walkin' away from the R1M all season long. You boyz missed it bad. Just wait to see what happens 2018 in WSBK, I believe the Kawi's are about to get a wake up call.

Agree, it is my favorite bike to borrow from someone else. But I'm not going to buy one. 3 of 4 people I know who own RSV-4's have had engine rebuilds (one twice) in less than 10K miles. When parts are needed they cost an arm and a leg and take forever. There is only one dealer in the area and they always have a good collection of them sitting in back waiting for repair because of the backlog at the dealership and the time it takes to get parts.

vernon feurtado well the bimmer is a heavily update version of a k51000 and they took it to next level from there so yeah it makes sense to be the best in matters of comfort aspect. R1 and aprilia are near in matters of crazy factor and the new gixxer rocks em all hard this year but i am with you on the bmw RR feeling. Perhaps the faster with the new ducati v4 on the street where it matters the most and is basically a do it all superbike with a bit hypertour characteristics. Is the only bike i believe is worth upgrading after i decide to sell my 10yr ownership old lady 65k war😂 miles k61000

[@mzk6550]

Thanks...you guy's are great!!! How can you not love the Aprilia but I feel after reviewing this video along with a little novice racing back ground maybe I could enjoy the Suzuki after a few modification. The money that I save will help me replace the can on the Suzuki and tune for a better fit.

[@gauravsaikia9362]

How can you guys just put the Standard GSX model infront of those bikes having electronics.Should have included the Suzuki GSX R variant that has all the electronics.

[@CBRboy1717]

BASE model shootout....

[@remid1994]

V4 compared to flat vacuum cleaners? You know what's the best.

[@superrones3952]

The R1 definitely have the smoothest motor from my experience. Cornering exit speed and mid-range is unbelievable.

[@Abhishek-150]

Best and honest review.. I hope you guys remain honest in future too and don't work for money like most journalists today.

[@betahootie9751]

These are not road bikes. They are bikes that need to be tweaked for the track and completely overhauled (traded) for the road. Absolutely beautiful they are, but they are not worthy to be called road bikes. Road bikes: tackle traffic, street lights, potholes, passengers, luggage, 2 hour commutes to work, 6 hour day rides, 10 day vacation rides, have comfortable and useful ergonomics. Road bikes have way less than rocket ship power because after all you are riding on the road and there are times when it's slippery hell even salty depending where you live. If I had access to a track I'd seriously consider having any of these beauties. But for actual road biking, I'm afraid they fall significantly short for what I have to throw at them.

[@gamiddop]

One thing I dont understand is how you picked the base model gsxr 1000 to compare in this shootout. First off its 2 and a half grand cheaper then all the other bikes and clearly no frills. The 1000r would be only 500 dollars more expensive then the bikes tested and would have 1) showa balance free forks 2) cornering abs 3) quickshifter/autoblipper These options would have made the gixxer more competitive and price wise would be a more fair analysis. If the idea was to test the base model then why did you test the cbr with the quickshifter and autoblipper when its a 500 dollar item. As a matter of fact that makes it the same price as the higher spec gsxr 1000r. To be forthcoming I purchased the R version. I test road the aprilia and a bmw. In my opinion the quickshifter autoblipper is the best one out now from factory. It works well in all rpm ranges very smoothly. Also I think the showa balance free forks is the superior suspension among the group. Now the electronics I will admit are primitive compared to the competition. Theres less dialing of individual settings but it does work well. I would say for street riding this bike with its VVT is the better bike but at the track some of the more sophisticated electronic systems of the other manufacturers might give you an advantage. But im just rambling now I just dont see the point in comparing a bike thats 15% cheaper when there is an option which is 3% more expensive that prob offers more then all the other bikes except for the aprilia.

[@roughnecknj]

But then they would have to compare it against the RF, R1M etc.

[@gamiddop]

Tom Boland should be compared on price not tier if suzuki top tier bike compares in price with everyones base model thats the other manufacturers problem. For that matter lets put a base pannigale at 35k.

[@roughnecknj]

I get what your saying, but the classes aren't organized by price. It would make more sense if they were doing a video on the best bike for $XX,XXX, and I think that would make for some good content, but the fact that Suzuki's models are less equipped and therefore cheaper seems to be their problem, not the other MFG's.

[@gamiddop]

Tom Boland I think the R version for what it offers for the same price makes it the better option. I think that by doing a comparison with an under equipped base model they arent doing there viewers justice. If i had 16,500 bux cash to spend i want to know how far it goes per manufacturer. If i only had 14k i wouldnt be looking at the other bikes. And again if we are comparing base models why add the 500 dollar option to the cbr. To be fare they can compare the r model to the upscale m or aprilia rf but now we are talking about comparing bikes with a 6k price difference. For 6k you could get the gixxer carbon fiber wheels upgraded master cylinder and full exhaust with ecu flash.

[@roughnecknj]

I agree with you, it would make for a better video to test bikes in the same price range since people usually don't shop for motorcycles with an unlimited cash supply. But the format for these videos don't typically follow that line of thought and that is why they chose the bikes that they did.

[@Popdaddy88]

Love my RSV4. Best bike I've ever ridden

[@conceptsmart]

r1 switchgear is definitely originated from very bottom-end China and Aaron needs to set up an appointment at a nearest barbershop. I have rsv4rr 2018, buy the way. Amen.

[@cheeesefunnel]

ive got a gsxr 750 2017..that dog can hunt..next bike is gsxr 1000r !!

[@midhungopan9270]

I got Gsx-S750 i like naked bikes🤗...confused b/w triumph and gsxr...i dnt have enough budget for triumph at that time....but still s750 is a great motorcycle 😍

[@1xRacer]

In this review every bike is awesome, I'm not sure if you were allowed to say anything bad to be honest. I get why you did canyons, most people who buy are going to commute and on weekends go ride the canyons. The GSX has bad brakes, the R1 turns in heavy, the Aprilia has a long 1st gear, the Honda doesn't go as fast. Apart from that nothing was said. It'd be great if you talked in terms less vague or general. Talk about price, ergos, gas consumption, electronics, engine noise, display, vibrations, previous versions -is it better to upgrade, directly compare the suspension, brakes, power delivery, show some stills of the bike.

[@PrinceNYZX]

Mymultisportlife pls go watch Powerdrift. They have good reviews. Even I hate all these 2017 comparisons, coz I personally feel they were biased.

[@1xRacer]

Thx man, ill check it out. 44Teeth is top notch too

[@PrinceNYZX]

Mymultisportlife I follow 44 Teeth too!

[@brazeagle]

Fantastic review. I would kindly ask you guys to advise on the two bikes I am looking to buying in the next 1 month: 2018 Panigale V4 2017 Aprilia RSV4 RF Any inputs and help on reviews are welcome. Thanks again, LCL

[@sohailkenjidjpanfa8136]

Awesome review guys yous were spot on with the tests , with the Honda did it go into the false neutral it's known for ?im glad the new Zx10r wasn't in the shootout I had one for 8 weeks and below 10000 rpm it was gutless and that's the euro spec version, couldn't be more happier with my new R1 😀

[@lachezarlazarov7566]

The false neutral problem was only on race bikes using the hrc components who were malfuntioning.You know race bikes and street bikes are whole lot different...

[@sohailkenjidjpanfa8136]

Lachezar Lazarov yeah I've seen a few reviews of the standard hondas going into false neutrals it might just have been that certain bike I've always loved the 1000rr reliable bike

[@boyfame4]

sohail sohi you change the rear sprocket on the zx10 to a 43t and flash the ecu then you will have a MONSTER!!!!!!

[@sohailkenjidjpanfa8136]

Rick Heyward absolutely bro when you spend some money on the Kawasaki they turn into an animal

[@daddygovernment4900]

how's that? the BMW should be more gutless below 10k

[@Adogsmate4267]

My friend has a Honda, he's had them for a while, he doesn't really like it. I've ridden it, it seems fine to me apart from low end power is not so good, I'll stick with Yamaha.

[@harshareddy1482]

Honda and Kawasaki Makes a bike : Comfort, tracking, fast machine, best design, and best refined engines. Honda CBR fireblade is the best motorcycle I ve seen with comfort ,speed , design, and hp

[@Jambome]

First things first, this review is FANTASTIC!!!! It draws you in from start to finish! I noticed the bikes were updates for 2017 hence only four brands are represented. But in any other scenario the rulers of the jungle are in addition to the four, Zx10rr, panigale V4, and S1000rr! Give us this review!!

[@utkarshverma1665]

The sound of R1 and Aprilia are 💥💥, just love it.... I also wish in future that I would have a R1 ❤😍

[@kashdevingle]

Why no Panigale 1299? Or even 959 if just focussing on street race? Also the ninjas?

[@Buffington916]

Kash Devingle They weren't updated and didn't win last year.

[@sergeybrody3028]

Kash Devingle it's just beyond of competition

[@izacaqsha3480]

Ducati Panigale 1299? 300cc more?

[@Robbieifyoucan]

They're trying to compare bikes with 4 cylinders in a close spectrum of price. Its actually a perfect 4 way super sport comparison.

[@RevMonkey]

Perhaps Suzuki should do an 'SP' version of the bike with uprated components. That way they still hit the original price point with the basic machine but elevate the SP to the level of the others.

[@871jamie]

I wonder how much Yamaha paid them? Everyone knows the GSXR is the king of liter bikes, all other reviews have said so.

[@cristianalexandru3332]

Good point , I own a gsxr after a Yamaha and I made a realistic compare,,,,, and gsxr is better from all point of view; riding position, low mid top power , sound ,etc but this is my personal opinion

[@Ihelpanytime]

R1 gave osteoporosis to my butt's bones. Nah, I'll take a comfortable bike for the street like GSX-R1000 or CBR1000RR

[@sksinha1]

I help anytime R1 does the same for me until I hit the twisters. Can't wait to get it on the track!

[@gggromay]

All this comments about street riding should be commute and traffic, you dont buy a SuperBike to ride it in traffic, yet if you ever find yourself in traffic it doesn't matter if its crap because you obviously didn't buy it for that, its just a transition you have to bare with in order get to the moments where you are going to enjoy it doing what it does. It would be kinda like reviewing a surfboard for how easy it is to transport and carry outside of the water. YET, if you go out and ride your "Street Test" on perfect roads where the bikes feel the same as on a track then there is no point, street bikes even super sport bikes need to be prepared for uneven asphalt, imperfections, etc. in essence real streets and roads. So maybe sitting in traffic is not necessary, but we definitely need to see more real street challenges on a "street test" thats for sure

[@ClayTorres69]

They are all good bikes. Y'all just nitpicking.

[@VikingBagsYT]

I'll take the CBR any day 💪.

[@ShaheenMatthews]

Hey guys, really a fan of all the bikes here just a question, with regards to the Honda, would a slip on and a power commander fix the mid range lack of power on exiting corners?

[@yowboichickoy7125]

Basically, what they're saying is all of the bikes are great. It depends upon the rider which ever bike they prefer.

[@2391jessie]

How about a stress test on the brakes and suspension in the 2018 shoot oiut? Also how sensitive are the bikes braking performance to suspension set-up (sag)? - I think the R1's braking performance is the most sensitive to proper sag settings

[@PrinceNYZX]

Where's the ZX10R?

[@CBRboy1717]

It lost last year and wasn't a new model. They explained in the previous video.
