This is why am subscribed to Motorcycle.com... Cant wait for comparison videos of street and other super bikes.. good to see you keeping up with the latest releases.. But you have gotta take them to streets and give us another review on which is the best street bike
Guys i see everyone is complaining about not including the Tuono or the Triumph. The purpose of this shootout (if you actually read the article in the link provided above) is to chose the top two and compare them against the Tuono in a final shootout. The BMW and the KTM won the top two spots (read the article again). They will be compared with the Tuono. The triumph is not included because there are no significant changes from last year when the Tuono defeated it.

Guys , for those asking where the heck is the Tuono? where the heck is the Streetfighter?... Please for God's sake, it's called a 2014 shootout, models new for 2014!!! You can't just go around and call these guys stupid just for not hosting your favourite bike!
I am confused on why the focus is so much around the track... the Diavel and the Speed Triple and Z1000 are fun as heck on the street. I have a track bike (an r6) to hit the track and I have my every day z1000 for the road. To mee the most fun is the flat torque curve. PURE GRUNT urban assault machine. I wont be hitting any curves on the street like I do on the track, so why should I be worried about how far it can lean, it leans plenty to cover spirited rides with superbike buddies, but more comfortably.
Jonathan Tang Correct in that the Diavel is more of a power cruiser as it is usually compared against the VMax.Unfortunately the latest Monster because of it's ground clearance limitations and 1511mm wheelbase and conservative steering geometry is no Ducati Streetfighter in performance or handling. Ducati do now have to many model variants.If only they would produce a model in between the Multistada and the Streetfighter but a true naked designed not from a undressed superbike.Oh there is a bike like this that has 123NM @ 6500RPM and 103KW @8500RPM best road sports naked and best kept secret in motorcycling.Eats the Speed Triple looks similar but has a 1200cc VTwin.A bullet proof engine which is a little bit heavy by today's standards that is over engineered but will out last all the other Italian VTwins.Designed by a famous Ferrari engineer by the name of Franco Lambertini.
Wonder how the Speed Triple would fare against these bikes. Bit strange having a super street fighter contest without the original that started it all!
How big of a guy is Sean? I ask because I'm a pretty big guy coming from cruisers to sport bikes and he looks like he might have a similar build. If so, I'm curious to know what he finds comfortable in general.
+enric gandia In the end, if you have to drive it daily through traffic to work, I think the BMW S1000R is a more comfortable and all round better bike.
Can somebody please help me out here? When they say the ktm 1190 is 150+ hp how does it hold up in a drag race against a 1000cc ninja or R1. As the ktm is lighter and has more hp. That doesn't make sense to me if it was actually faster. Can't picture it.
I guess you didn't pay attention at the beginning, this is a run off to see who takes on the Aprilia Tuono for the HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE.........OF THE WORLD
Bryan Sherman Because Muhammed Ali Didn't fight five contenders at once, he just beat the piss out of the best of the rest. What does it matter anyway if the Duc can't beat the KTM why would you compare it to the Tuono?
ellomirza I'm more disappointed than anything I wanted to see all of the nakeds in a winner take all battle. But it doesn't matter because the Tuono is still the best!
Did anyone notice that they shot the beginning and end of the video at on time? Smart move instead of lining the bikes up again after testing, but look at the exact positions the bikes are parked, it's the exact same in the end as it is in the start of the video.
Nice video ! If you do another test for 2016 put these bikes :))) Kawasaki Z1000 Triumph Speed Triple R Ducati Monster 1200R KTM 1290 Super Duke R MV Augusta Brutale 1090RR BMW S1000R Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory Yamaha MT-10 Honda CB1000R Suzuki GSX-S1000
Great video guys! Can anyone give me his opinion about which motorbike to buy? I have in mind the MV Agusta Dragster 800 or the Kawasaki Z1000 ($13500 budget max). I am a tall guy and I feel that the seat position of the Dragster could be a bit uncomfortable to me. However, I saw that the seat height to the ground in both motorbikes are almost the same. Thanks everyone!
gulshan devnani Thanks for your opinion! As far as I am concern, the Z1000 has no driving modes like the Dragster. In terms of technology I believe that the MV is quite better than the Z1000.
The Monster is a Streetfighter? You are aware that Ducati produced a streetfighter. It was named the Streetfighter. The Monster line was created to compete with Harleys and Bonnevilles.
Already got dusted in 2012 by the Tuono, as far as an adrenaline streetfighter. Check out the MO website to read it and see the video that also includes MV Agusta's Brutale 1090R. The Triumph is still one of my fave rides, and it's more comfy than the Tuono, but it simply wasn't quite as thrilling.as its rivals. Four new bikes in this test, so we wanted to see how they compared. Street shootout will be posted next week.
MV Will be my bike of choice because is fantastic on the track, doing a great job on the street and they are tank... That bike can be beat by is owner and will always deliver without breaking..But would like to see the Aprillia too... Kim seem a awesome bike but there is something that I don't like on it... Always on the stand to fix something...talking by experience..
DieselQuads True. I had a T595 Daytona back in the day, and absolutely loved it, so a modern naked version should be fantastic. However, the design is so old and all the newer bikes, even the lowly Streetfighter 848 are better performing. In the end, it is whatever floats the buyer's boat.
Come on you guys! Shop bought bikes can never be street fighters. A super sports with the faring thrown away and some crazy mods is a street fighter!!!
MV Agusta Brutale 1090RR , you just want to put it in a stand on your living room and look at it the hole day , it´s a masterpiece of ART and machinery.....

Me gusta all 5. Ever wonder why motorcycle reviews are so hard?!? Every modern motorcycle is fantastic.
So far I'm loving my 2014 Z1000, it's a fucking beauty of a bike and an extremely smooth ride. I have no complaints so far.
The KTM Dark Duke Devil bike all day.
Excellent discussion fellas.
The KTM looks great, but the Kawa looks like it came straight out of a Anime show. Saw it in the flesh, in that colour combo, looks amazing!
instaBlaster.
I've owned both. I've loved both. I've bought more. Only one remains & will be in my life forever.

Ducati Monster is the most beautiful bike I have ever seen..
Yea, just don't try to ride it...Oh, that's right they are Queen of the Garage.😃
Sl you are noob
KTM is the best looking one
You guys should do a shootout of supermotos. Not many videos out there comparing them and I love the ones you guys do.

Motorcycle.com does great video reviews. Thanks!
I just want all of them.
Hey buddy :)
DoubleT90T greedness.
Shanika Brown Greed*
Shanika Brown 0
Chris Dias are you trying to make a difference or trying to teach me how to spell? Because I know what I'm talking about here so yeah.
The MV Agusta is pure art on wheels
Makes me a proud Z1000 owner :)
Where is best ? Where is Touno V4R APRC ?
where the hell is the tuono...
Tuono V4 1100.....THE BEST
the 1290 Duke is just a beast

Guys, I need your advice...How do you think a BKING does stand against these wonderful fighters?
How big of a guy is Sean? I ask because I'm a pretty big guy coming from cruisers to sport bikes and he looks like he might have a similar build. If so, I'm curious to know what he finds comfortable in general.
the ending part is so hilarious..hahaha..nice review :)
At the end...all of them went for the Ktm... What else?? 8-)
+enric gandia yep, there is a reason for that..
+enric gandia
To me it depends a bit.
- smart geek and fun at high speed/RPM = BWM S1000R
- insane maniac and immediate fun = SuperDuke 1290R
+Zeds notdeadyet Yeah, the reason that this is a track and they are testing it at full speed...
+enric gandia In the end, if you have to drive it daily through traffic to work, I think the BMW S1000R is a more comfortable and all round better bike.
how is it the street fighter smackdown and you use the ducati monster instead of the streetfighter
what about the Honda CB1000R?
MV Agusta is not just a motorcycle, it's a work of art!
Can somebody please help me out here? When they say the ktm 1190 is 150+ hp how does it hold up in a drag race against a 1000cc ninja or R1. As the ktm is lighter and has more hp. That doesn't make sense to me if it was actually faster. Can't picture it.
that ducati
How can you compare the bikes without the reining champ in the mix?
I guess you didn't pay attention at the beginning, this is a run off to see who takes on the Aprilia Tuono for the HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE.........OF THE WORLD
I did pay attention. I don't understand why you wouldn't compare all of the bikes against it instead of just one
Bryan Sherman Because Muhammed Ali Didn't fight five contenders at once, he just beat the piss out of the best of the rest. What does it matter anyway if the Duc can't beat the KTM why would you compare it to the Tuono?
ellomirza I'm more disappointed than anything I wanted to see all of the nakeds in a winner take all battle. But it doesn't matter because the Tuono is still the best!
Bryan Sherman It's probably an excuse for some scheduling issue anyways. Like others have pointed out there's no Speed Triple either.
good job -
The end of the vid is funny, everyone wants the KTM
I also have the beast here in Austria and am very happy
Hahahhaha the dude almost called his cohosts new motorcycles. I dying, they're not even new hosts. I've seen them before.
That KTM is a menace in black...
Did anyone notice that they shot the beginning and end of the video at on time? Smart move instead of lining the bikes up again after testing, but look at the exact positions the bikes are parked, it's the exact same in the end as it is in the start of the video.
Nice video ! If you do another test for 2016 put these bikes :)))
Kawasaki Z1000
Triumph Speed Triple R
Ducati Monster 1200R
KTM 1290 Super Duke R
MV Augusta Brutale 1090RR
BMW S1000R
Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory
Yamaha MT-10
Honda CB1000R
Suzuki GSX-S1000
no EBR? the 1190SX is pretty much one of the best performing Superfighters that you can buy, and is made right here on US soil.
François LECA if you put tuono on the group lol you waiste your time did testing hehehe
KEVIN,,, WE NEED ANOTHER SUPER STREET FIGHTER SHOOTOUT,, 2017
Why no Tuono? you even said it was the class champion for years.
I take issue with the first sentence of the description. The Duc is the only one that could pass for naked...
Where is the FZ1 or the FZ-09?
And yes I get that the FZ-09 is not a liter bike, but it's right in there.
Me? A speed3 and KTM, i have A Ducati Monster w/ Carbon termignoni, just Love the sound that comes out of it!!!
In the garage..ha😄
if i have to choose, i'll choose kawasaki z1000 and ducati monster 1200s
That BMW is absolutely calling my name
What is this? A battle for second place behind the speed triple?
I have a question , are there any 600cc naked bikes which look good and have around 100-130 hp ?
Thanks for answers
+Mosakoe_069 Actually yes, Look up the Triumph Street Triple 675. Best naked 600cc out there
+Mosakoe_069 hornet, gsr 600, fz6 (old one), street triple
Thanks , i will look them up
+Andrew Freeman And Yamaha= No Suspension!
+Ryan Kennedy Hell Yes, Street Triple R is a total pkg!
That was awesome ! Which bike on track day KTM !
Aprilia , Ducati. then BMW , KTM.
All great bikes
Great video guys!
Can anyone give me his opinion about which motorbike to buy? I have in mind the MV Agusta Dragster 800 or the Kawasaki Z1000 ($13500 budget max). I am a tall guy and I feel that the seat position of the Dragster could be a bit uncomfortable to me. However, I saw that the seat height to the ground in both motorbikes are almost the same.
Thanks everyone!
+Nano Orte z1000 is beast... and have many mode controlls.if u want to use for a long period i will suggest u to buy z1000.
gulshan devnani Thanks for your opinion! As far as I am concern, the Z1000 has no driving modes like the Dragster. In terms of technology I believe that the MV is quite better than the Z1000.
What about Speed triple? The big absent in the video.
And the race and test?
Where is the Speed Triple?
Ditto,
in the UK
MV 1090 Best bike!
Two words... Speed. Triple.
Where's th speed 3 ??
in UK :)
i saw another videos from KTM and noticed because she is the 1st. But i rode the BMW and i found pretty good. But i have a Kawasaki ER-6n.
So why no CB1000R? Honest question.
where is honda cb1000r??
Great video!
But where is my favorite Aprilia Tuono V4?
Cheers!
at the start of the video they say that they are doing a single battle with beteen the Tuono and the winner of this test.
gtsolkas Thanks, seems like I didn't pay enough attention.
Motorcycle intro music name please?
KTM Torque Beast!
I went with ktm duke,, whow what a bike I love it :)
Speechless.
BMW S1000R for sure
Why no FZ1?
love your videos, but you guys really need to start paying attention to the audio. The clipping and level issues on this video are terrible.
You apparently don't watch many MCN videos.
exnihilo415 lol. true. theirs are worse.
Speed Triple?Where is it?
Its cant be a naked shoot out if there isn't a Triumph Speed Triple Redo please.
Where is the tuono?
I'd take BMW or KTM, ohh and Sean looks like fired airbag in this suit ;)
what is that song in the intro?
Where was the Triumph Speed Triple?
Honda CB1000R??
Nice bikes..
Speed triple? Ducati streetfighter?
Aprilia V4 Tuono! Leader bike!
Where is the Speed Triple!?
Great review! Thanks :)
Why no Tuono ?
What about Yamaha FZ1?
The Monster is a Streetfighter? You are aware that Ducati produced a streetfighter. It was named the Streetfighter. The Monster line was created to compete with Harleys and Bonnevilles.
That superDUKE is always dominant
Even though it is no longer a current model they should have thrown a Duc Streetfighter S in there for good measure
where is MT-10 and CB1000 ?
darodjati this was made 3 years ago wtf? The mt10 did not come out until 2016
todas as motos são muito boas mas a z1000 e bmw e sensacional . muito boas motos.
Where's the Speed Triple?!
why not choose the Ducati STREET FIGHTER
Where is Aprilia Tuono V4?? the best One
This test is null and void because you failed to include the speed triple.
Already got dusted in 2012 by the Tuono, as far as an adrenaline streetfighter. Check out the MO website to read it and see the video that also includes MV Agusta's Brutale 1090R.

Fk super streetfighters are just teh beastest bikes ever
MV Will be my bike of choice because is fantastic on the track, doing a great job on the street and they are tank... That bike can be beat by is owner and will always deliver without breaking..But would like to see the Aprillia too...
Kim seem a awesome bike but there is something that I don't like on it... Always on the stand to fix something...talking by experience..
yes.. the best naked... bike is aprilia tuono V4 aprc..
by bye.. in track race
No Speed Triple?
No Triumph Speed Triple R?
Because it would have been positively smoked by everything here, except the Kawasaki...
Man I don't know about that. Maybe in a straight line but I'd be curious to see it in the mix. My Streetfighter S wasn't much faster...
DieselQuads True. I had a T595 Daytona back in the day, and absolutely loved it, so a modern naked version should be fantastic. However, the design is so old and all the newer bikes, even the lowly Streetfighter 848 are better performing. In the end, it is whatever floats the buyer's boat.
Monster 1200 rules
and de diabel 1200? jajaja!! that's a killer machine
Rule? Non-adjustable forks! Talk about going cheap. It hates city driving...lugs, heat.
OK who crashed the Kawasaki? was it you big boy or do they just come that way. I am sure you guys are decent riders but give me a break.
and where is Triumph speet triple 1050 ?
Av gusta best looking bike? Are you daft man?
MV Agusta is an artwork! It is a mastepierce of design!
Come on you guys! Shop bought bikes can never be street fighters. A super sports with the faring thrown away and some crazy mods is a street fighter!!!
I think they liked the KTM.
MV Agusta Brutale 1090RR , you just want to put it in a stand on your living room and look at it the hole day , it´s a masterpiece of ART and machinery.....
im wondering why ducati has abandoned streetfighter and pushes only monster to the market...1098 had amazing power and looks.
