[@markdezuba]

Hey flatlanders, I own both brands…on my 2nd BMW and my 4th Ducati. I ride over 20k miles a year…in 2020 I rode 32k miles. I also have boring Goldwing…yes, when I ride with my wife. I live at 9202 ft above sea level and ride a mountain pass for past 3 decades everyday. The Ducati always puts a smile on my face. The BMW is my daily rider and the Goldwing is my marriage saver.

I prefer Ducati. Everyone and their mother has a S1000rr, so I have a Panigale SP2. Same with a GS, so I got a Tiger 1200. All three brands are similar in quality, but Ducati has the best styling, hands down. And for all of you who say "I'll take Japanese", I feel you. I was poor once too.

[@GoldenEagleXTND]

It's funny you mention that because my BMW dealer is also a Ducati dealer. I've been in there every other week chatting with the guys while I had stuff down to my S1K. And they say the Ducatis they get in fall in three categories: bought brand new from someone who has money, bought brand new with terrible financing from someone looking for clout, and the used buyer who brings it in after buying it somewhere else to have all the issues fixed. I will say, I've never had more professional and courteous treatment from a shop than from BMW.

[@assessor1276]

I’d rather have my head stapled to the floor than ride a Ducati - because I hate pushing my bikes down the road. My present ride is a 1983 BMW R100RS (aka an AirHead). It has an air-cooled, 70 hp, 1 litre two cylinder OHV engine with a 5-spd twirler, three disk brakes, factory luggage and a beautiful factory fairing that is amazingly protective in rain. It is simple, reliable, super-easy to repair - although it never seems to break down - and it gobbles up miles at 100+ mph like a champ. It’s not really fast, doesn’t have riding modes or an LCD screen - but boy, is it nice to ride.

I think Triumph vs BMW would have been a fairer comparison. Both belong to the more refined end of the spectrum, are relatively reliable, premium and sophisticated. Quite a few overlaps as well: Tiger vs G1250GS, Street Triple vs F900R, Speed Triple vs S1000R, Scrambler vs RNineT... (By and large, I would prefer Triumph). Ducati is in a league of its own, perhaps better compared with Aprillia and MV

[@ridingdreamer]

Triumph is great for modern classics and their own unique machines. But they dont make an S1000RR. S1000RR is no less of a league than a Panigale.

I got a BMW because when I was 17 and still living under my moms roof she wouldn’t let me get anything with serious power, she didn’t even want me to get my BMW with 650cc’s, and I don’t like mainstream motorcycles like Kawasaki or Suzuki, and the boxer engine really peaked my interest. At the time the bmw really fit my budget as well at $2500. It is a 1981 r65, it’s such a fun and comfortable motorcycle to ride I love it. Shortly after I got the bmw and a few weeks before I left for basic training I got an 82 R65LS as a project, turns out working on them is fun too, definitely a bmw guy for life but since I’m going to Italy next, definitely going to get a vintage guzzi and a vintage Ducati

Buying a BMW bike (talking about flagship, full fairing super bikes M1000RR, V4S, V4 SP etc) is the most sensible option as it makes the most sense on paper. Its a well engineered bike and it looks good enough. Ducati however has an aura, a presence and a feeling that just cannot be replicated by any other brand. Just as powerful, just as well engineered, but a little less forgiving and more character. To a passerby, an S or M1000 looks like "a sport bike" some may even confuse it for any other Japanese brand bike. The Ducati is immediately recognizable and EVERYONE knows a Ducati when they see one.

So BMW is by far the most reliable bike if you take care of it. It can really go around the world. While BMW is the wife that will be with you till retirement, the Ducati is that hot girlfriend in a bikini that everyone else envies you for. The Ducati is the one that makes your heart skip a beat every time you see her. But deep in your heart I know the BMW and I are meant to be forever together.

I have a 2022 V2 Ducati Bayliss, a 2021 BMW S1000RR and a 2021 Ducati Monster plus. If I had to just pick one of those bikes though it would be the BMW simply because its such a good all rounder. The other bikes are very nice too and by far the most beautiful but kinda niche in terms of overall satisfaction.

[@alanbrown5593]

Changed to the aftermarket headlights, added a mid pipe & exhaust. For a 2010 I bought with 23,000 miles on it for $7,000 And now having it today only putting another $2,000 towards it & its at 36,000 miles now still pulling strong.

Ducati's have to constantly be serviced. Even if they have gotten more reliable you're still gonna pay out the ass for servicing. Ducati valves have to be serviced at least every 12k miles and they will consistently have multiple valves out of spec. Also the desmo system adds a lot of friction and stress to the valves wearing them down which just adds to that compiling bill. Sure japanese bikes suggest valve services every 16k miles but they seldom actually need adjusted and even if their springs wear out, theyre drastically less expensive than cam lobes and rockers. That being said its still a work of art and I want one. The new s1000rr might be soulless but its still a marvel of a bike. There is nothing it doesnt do amazingly. Plus the previous gen s1000 is still a rowdy deranged excitement machine while still implementing enough tech to keep you're body in one piece. It was the first real modern day liter bike.

Yammie, stop letting your bias put out bad information. The Multistrada V4 S (not an adventure bike at all, prove me wrong) starts at $27k USD and the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure starts at $20k (left out that $7k+ price tag like he pointed out on the R NineT vs Desert) with the HUGE issue here trying to compare a Multistrada V4 to a R 1250 GS when it should be compared to the BMW S1000 XR which weighs pretty much the same, has pretty much the same HP and torque, and comes in $10k cheaper than the Multistrada V4. They even look the same. You can't throw off road tires on Multistrada V4 and call it an Adventure bike and compare it to an actual Aventure bike like the 1250 GS. Yammie, you should know this... The Multistrada V4 is a sport tourer. For Ducati Adventure you need to compare the Multistrada V4 Rally which comes in at a whopping $30k starting price which is a $10k difference compared to the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure starting price. These videos are getting lazy. Like seriously Yammie, why are you trying to compare a Multistrada V4 to a R 1250GS when it clearly needs to be compared to the S1000 XR? There are PLENTY of videos out there comparing the Multistrada V4 to the S1000 XR. Wonder why.

I hate the sound of every Duc engine I’ve ever heard until they came out with the new V4, which sounds wonderful. Much prefer the sound of BMW’s boxer and flat 6. At least the new Multi has been offered in liveries with no red whatsoever, and I hate the color red like a Spanish bull. So unless I shop for a GS, in which case I might ride the big Multi, I’m otherwise a BMW guy. Just love the precision feel and slickness of the engineering. At my age, I hate “raw” and “untamed”. As always, YMMV. And now, try the M versions on for size if you want power out the wazoo. The V4 Streetfighter has company.

I had a NineT. now I got a Desert X. Just because BMW does not have something in that category. I think BMW has better quality but the Ducati reminds me why I love motorcycles.

Yam gave me a hj. After rubbing it out, he took off his hat and glasses and proceeded to stare me down like a cat.. .. it was awkward asf, and somehow made me feel guilty. The shame lingers this day. I am forever changed.

[@paulhope3401]

Ducati are far better looking stylingwise but of the two but I'd take a BMW as probably more reliable. I would have any Jap bikes before either of them though... mainly because I'm not loaded. :)

It gets so tiresome hearing Yammie Noob bashing BMW's. For rich guys - maybe, but I'm not a rich guy. I bought mine used. 136 horsepower isn't enough on an ADV bike? Not enough for who? And there's a reason that Ducati has been the butt of reliability jokes for 40 years. I'm sure they're great, and I'm sure there are plenty of Asian / European bikes that measure up in ways that BMW can't. If I remember correctly, BMW outsold every other motorcycle manufacturer last year. Call it the fallacy of the marketplace if you will, but over 200,000 buyers, more than any other brand, think BMW is just fine. Wutever, dude. Your bias against BMW really does detract from what are otherwise some of the best motorcycle videos on YT.

(FROM GERMANY PERSPECTIVE) I prefer BMW: Facts: Its cheaper at buying Its way cheaper maintance Its technology more advanced in terms of Elektronik Its more streetusable and more comfy (I am 6,1 ft) Its way more reliable Personal preferences: Better Sound and Better look Especially thr 2018 model wir sc project Slip-On

[@johnadams3038]

To be safe I prefer both :)

[@Rick1984FL]

Test rode the s1000s and ended up with a streetfighter sooooo I guess it’s evident where I lay

[@syfi323]

You sit there a compare a GS vs a Multi even though a Multi will never be off road. XR vs Multi is a closer comparison.

[@Icegrey6]

As a German living in Germany I have no choice but so say....................Ducati :D BMW is just a fkin boring brand on its own. And compared to the most passionate manufacturer Ducati there is nothing what could pull me on their side.

[@fqeagles21]

good comment, do you see BMW wsbk winning the championship this year,i'm just curious

[@GoldenEagleXTND]

Of course as a German, you win either way as Ducati is owned by Audi

How about the bmw k1200r and k1300r 180mph naked sport touring bike one of the best bikes I've ever ridin and been on everything from Harleys to Ducati and I still love my o6 k1200r electronic suspension abs and 170hp from factory and it's still faster 0-60 then a s1000rr and v4 today

[@iowajojo]

I own a Ducati XDS, ordered the BMW M1000R…which would I like more….

[@evanhuang6963]

You right, I love bmw 1000rr lol

[@fqeagles21]

even new one the M i mean

[@codystrom8708]

Ducati all day and I still like bmw but come on Ducati has an absolutely legendary line up of bikes since forever..

[@johnkluge3421]

I own BMW because it is bomb proof and I like to ride my motorcycles not look at them and talk about them. Also, I am not a poser looking to make up for something. Ducatis are cool. I need to own one at some point. But I will keep my BMW so I have something to ride when the Ducati breaks down

[@headhunter531]

G310R is just a re-badged TVS Apache 310 RTR.

[@PrivateUsername]

Duc for sport - gimme a Streetfighter v4 pls. Or the 1250GSA for highway (yes, USA Interstate) riding. Otherwise, meh.

[@coku636]

My boy yammie is a ducatista famm😂

[@Jiveanimal]

Sorry man, you have the wrong opinion on boxer engine sound, better luck next time!

[@dasbrot8532]

whats maintenance like with these brands? Everybody memes on desmos and other ducati bs, but bmw also isn't cheap, right? Valvework on the boxers must be easy as pie, right?

[@sorashirogami1729]

BMW bikes are the most painfully boring thing I have ever ridden, the S1000R makes me feel like I'm sitting on a CBR500R, and you can tell how bad that is. Ducati, for better or worse, has not yet failed to put a goofy ass grin on my face every time I ride around on one so far. The Panigales, when they work, are some insane weapons, and if I ever become a track only bro, I'd probably snag myself a V2. But for now I'd keep my XSR, thank you very much.

[@_Jaded_]

For today's comparison we are comparing an Egyptian cotton luxury bath towel and a used napkin from Little Ceasars pizza. Lol, BMW should stick to making cars without working turn signals.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

BMW, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Suzuki are the only motorcycle companies worth your time. most other manufacturers are utter rubbish.

[@aaronlaughlin7662]

Would love you to see a Ducati make it to 100k miles. You buy a bmw to rack miles.

[@leward]

I like both but lean more towards Ducati.
