He definitely does the best reviews out of all the bike magazines.
One of the honest reviewers around.
My MT-10 SP already feels insane. I can safely say that I’ll never “need” more performance out of a bike. But my goodness that v4 aura is just wonderful!
Neeves always does a great job walking us through. Thanks MCN👍🤘
Legend
Neeves is my faviorate person to listen to he seems very humble for someone with that much riding
Thanks for including the sound of the bike and the extra riding shots! Vast improvement over some of the first MCN videos.
Still Tuono V4 1100 Factory wins for me... Better value for money and sounds much better
I'm sure he's saving his opinion for when the bikes face off.... Personally I feel like even though ktm is a wild monster, it just can't match up in overall performance when Compared to streetfighter & Tuono. So I would skip it. Bmw is a great bike but too refined for my liking (lacks character). It seems to come down to streetfighter & Tuono. Tuono is amazing especially after you tune it up but I get the feeling that this streetfighter is going to be even more AMAZING in all aspects once you tune it up. Now money is a factor Ofcourse but if you're simply picking the best bike to have..... What's it going to be??? Let's wait and find out ;)
You could be right though
One day I'm gonna afford myself a Ducati fridge magnet.
Keep dreamin' :)
You'll have one fast fridge.
i know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Sylas Saint instablaster ;)
@King Eli thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
More top end power than the Aprilia, but it's up where you can't use it, becasue it's a naked bike with no wind protection...interesting. Looks awesome though, but I'm not so sad I own the Tuono. I'm a little sad that Neevesy can't afford it, he's the best reviewer around, he should be able to afford whatever bike he wants IMHO.
Yea but by that logic everyone should just get the superduke since it has the most torque across the rev range. But yeah this "right at the redline power" is kinda useless for a naked. If you want a racebike, you might as well get the real Panigale, you're not gonna be riding at 15k rpm on the street anyway
Super Naked Group Test KTM Super Duke, Aprilia Tuono, MV Augusta Brutale, Yamaha MT10 SP, BMW S1000R, Ducati V4 Street Fighter! ☻
Really looking forward to that comparison!! :-D
Do MV still make the brutale? I thought they were done with that.
He basically said the Super Duke is tops for the street....
Dude what about the Z1000
z900 and street triple is a must
Watched your review of when the 2010 came out! 10years later here we are again! Thanks Neevsey!
40 more HP than my S1000R and a bit lighter too... I'm not sure if I can imagine that level of supernaked acceleration!
Still wont beat your s1000rr as you forgot to mention something very important: aerodynamics
Jonathan Pontel s1000r*
I made mine much lighter by installing a full exhaust system.
RikkyTang! The BMW’s definitely make more power than quoted by BMW..
RikkyTang!
I have a 2019 S1000R, and it just takes my breath away in Power, you’re right, can’t imagine something more to hold onto.
But our S1000R Engine is just so proven and at least my 2019 is Bullet proof 👍
I feel like those wings are completely for show, it's not often you'll be going 270km/h on a naked bike.lol
Exactly what i was thinking....what nutters going to be doing 167 mph on a naked lol
This model sells for $33,900 in Australia. I really struggle to see the value in it. Ducati must use expensive plastic . By comparison a fully loaded S1000R is $23,000 here.
It's a fucking rip off! Lovely bike but Ducati are taking the piss. Coming to a coffee club near you.
Why its much more expensive in austraila compared to USA and europe
Plastic?????
@@jubin2611 shipping to Aus. Also won't sell as many here we only have 25 million people here. It sucks but can't do anything about it.
It's carbon fiber bru, what
Nice to see MCN videos are now more produced and nicer to watch
If you want a v4 super naked I'd get a £5.5k cheaper tuono factory. I bet its almost dam just as quick as this, more comfortable, alot more money in your pocket and sounds nicer.
Same mentality here. But thank God there are people willing to get the newest and latest models so the economy will prosper. For me, nothing can beat a moderately used and modded motorcycle for a bargain price.
Tuono is essentially 10 years old now with a few updates. Goes to show you Aprilia got it so so right.
Love my 2019 tuono factory, aprilia is lovely
@@Moicc I do too....it's a wonderful bike.
Damn you Euro 5, this exhaust and its covers are horrendous
Dédé LABINOUZE yes I was thinking exactly the same. The bike looks amazing except for the bulbous, hideous monster underneath.
Does anyone actually run a stock exhaust for long?
The exhaust looks like a fucking toaster🤮. People don't keep the exhaust for long but it's not like the old days. There's a lot of crap and cash involved in changing the exhaust. Mapping etc pfffttt
You can order a Street Fighter V4S Evo factory option fitted with an beautiful Akrapovic system...!!!
Best option little more expensive is the Street Fighter V4S Evo with a factory fitted beautiful Akrapovic system...!!! 20,000 GBP isn’t cheap
Yeah Neeves is the only one I trust for a review of the Ducati V4s. I think maybe he's the only one that can ride it to its potential
How come you guys never test MV Agusta brutale 1000 RR or even compare it to the other super nakeds. I don't understand why people always forget about MV
figifister because it sucks.
32000 dollars is worse than harley pricing
The price range of MV exclude itself from most conversations/comparisons. It's waaaay too much.
@@pankinyek this. the V4S here is already high price , let alone the MV price
We’ve never had the chance. Have you ever seen one in the wild, outside of a bike show?
No matter what exhaust I installed on my KTM, it doesn’t come anywhere close to this StreetFighter V-4S Full Akropavic Titanium Race Exhaust!!- The Ducati will destroy a KTM on track!! All good bikes but something special about this Ducati- SUPER EASY To Ride !!! No heat issues, no bucking/stuttering, the width of the bike is excellent!! Easy to squeeze!! Iam speeches over the bike!! The incredible sound it makes is worth the price!!! I now understand the V-4 Hype !!! Brutal POWER everywhere!!! It just keeps pulling!! Its a wrist breaker!! The electronics are more than anyone would ever want!! There is a reason this bike went up Pikes Peak at an astonishing pace!!! Life can be short!!! Dont miss out on experiencing this Italian Masterpiece!!! Please be safe and only ride in full gear!! No excuses!!! Go Alpinestars Tech-Air !!!
Nothing compares with british charme like "the price is a little fruity" :D
It’s headlight is absolute Z1000, no one noticed ?
For the first time in a while, an MCN review is actually worth watching! Camera work also up to par as well. Can’t wait for this new SF to start hitting showrooms
Honestly, they could forget the lens cap on the camera and I would still watch a Neevsey review.
Thanks a lot for the insight. For a comparison, the MV Agusta Brutale would be a candidate in my eyes - you didn't mention that one. In fact, the follwing bikes need to be compared: "Cruise Missile" (Kawasaki Z H2), KTM Super Duke R, Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory and MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR. I hope you agree.
Love your reviews! I have the 1098 and have tried the V4 for a short test ride. The 1098 is more of a handfull, absolutely! Trying the V4 was really an eye-opener, I did not have to think! The bike (sort of) knew where you where heading. I still love my 1098 for the drama it brings, but the V4 is a monumental step forward.
The looks are growing on me...but the Tuono just sounds so good though from stock. And you can get Tuono's from what, £13kish...I think for me it'd edge the SF with that kind of price advantage. Though if the SF numbers are kept fairly limited it'll retain the price difference and maybe more. Ahh, what do I know...I've just bought my fifth bike in 18 months (still got one bike...I haven't got 5...I'm not TMF) and hoping this one will be the one - for at least a couple of years. I like your reviews, always packed with relevant info and insight - thanks!
Thats the problem! Tuono is the best sounding naked! Ive also had a bit of a mental 18 months (3 bikes, but I only have one now... not like TMF).
Im hoping aprilia will release a new tuono though, bit more up to date style and full led... that would be my bike
would still prefer a factory Tuono
sethvicious y
Why?
If the nakedness of the bike didn't matter to me at all, I'd probably go with the Tuono as well. But this bike is nakeder and therefore cooler. lol
@@A.J.1656 Just got a new Tuono Factory to replace my R1 that got stolen, R1 is the much better bike if there were no speed limits. Realistic top speed of the Tuono is about 150mph because of wind blast which has you gripping the bars too tight. Wheelies and wheelspin are the limiting factor for acceleration so not sure how you can use more power on a naked bike although the wings probably help until they are knocked off in traffic. Did a 160mph midnight cruise back from the TT a few years ago on the R1 which would be impossible on the Tuono or any other naked. The Tuono is a great street bike for hooning about and is smooth and comfortable at street speeds it also sounds much better than my brothers clattery V4S. The question you have to ask before dropping £20k on a Streetfighter is WHY?
I owned the 17' Tuono, awesome bike BUT it's basically a RSV4 with handlebars, an odd riding position that is mot much more comfortable than a superbike on long rides. Electrical gremlins too! Also, Aprilia does not like to pay for warranty work, change it from stock and you are ass out. It was a beast tho and sounded awesome.
Love the look but not the sound. Overall Tuono still comfortably #1 naked superbike
Hezri Mustapha MV Augusta called, and would like a word...
I'm all aprilia gang but tuono and rsv4 need a major refresh, ffs it's been 11 years since the original models
@@gabrielpokrajac5941 what? The Tuono V4 1100 is pretty new.
'Semi-naked!'
@@gabrielpokrajac5941 I'm sure he's saving his opinion for when the bikes face off....

That’s the kind of bike you keep for a lifetime. ❤️
Thanks Michael, great review again 👍🏼looking forward to seeing the Superduke R shootout when life gets back to normal again soon
It's not a review until its MCN review. Best in the business !!
Now can I please have that jacket 😊😊😊.
Plastic mudguards on a £20k bike....😳!
V4 1100 Tuono is far better value, you can get the electronic suspension ones for around £14k now, ...6 grand cheaper than this “bitza “
I’ve been running an 899 Panigale for the past 5 years , with an eye on possibly trading it in on the new Streetfighter, but having seen it, I’m not blown away with its “ bits and pieces “ design, the daft tacked on wings, or the list price, and wait till you start looking for extras for it,..£4K for a Termignoni exhaust system 😂😂 ...dream on!
The 899 is staying put, a far prettier bike than this, by a long margin.
Poor Ducati, wait all that time to bring out the Streetfighter and then a pandemic hits... Not going to sell many for 20k.
I can only speak for the US, but the bike was sold out months ago. Here on the East Coast allocations were committed within weeks. The problem will be fulfilling those commitments as the Italian factory is closed. However, they may have more flexibility with the plant in Thailand.
There will be many cheap bikes ,boats,jetskis,golf clubs , and george forman grillers for sale soon.
I was planning on getting a 950sp, which we must agree is borderline financially irresponsible as is, but now with all the stocks in the gutters and poor dollar I don’t think I will :(
@@johnsmith-mm1vt How can you possibly compare this to a George Forman grill, lol?
@@atastefortheroad4475 They sold out doesn't mean they are super popular, because the production is limited. Ducati knew If they produce this bike as many as ninja 400, they will be piling up at the dealership overstock. The V4 buyers are still minority, as they only target ppl who willing to drop 20k for a bike, while majority of the ppl buying bikes under 15k.
,, I prefer the character of the engine from the Tuono over the Ducati one "
I agree 100%!!! The Aprilia V4 is still a wonderful characteristic engine! The Twin Pulse firing of the Ducati is cool but i love the Aprilia V4 😍
That was a neat camera shot transition @4:29 going from the bike mounted camera to the external vehicle camera.
Timed this release pretty perfectly!
Thanks for giving me some idea of the character of this (and the other two) TeraNakeds... or terror-nakeds. I could never afford one but it's nice to daydream about them.
I like to scare myself at least once everytime I ride my 1290 Super Duke...
Been waiting for reviews on this bike. I'm interested in what BMW is going to do with the S1000r to compete in this new class of super/hyper nakeds.
And the superduke
John Nazar I’m waiting to see what Aprilias response will be. The new baby Tuono looks spot on. Big brother needs a facelift!
Going to have to wait a while I'm guessing, this damn covid stuff is really throwing a wrench into everything. Sales on everything are going to continue to tumble for a good while yet so everything non essential is going to see a big slowdown in development for bit anyways.
Great review! Not a fan of the new bike! I preferred the 1098 Version!
Neevesy out of the 3 super nakeds you mentioned at the end of the video, which one would you spend your hard earned money on?
The Ducati appears to be the fastest, Aprilia sounds the best and do I dare say handles the best? Ktm seems to give the most smiles to the journalists on that review.
I’d buy all three and sleep in the floor of the garage I’m renting from whoever bought my house.
Aprilia
I definitely would get the ktm. I have a m10 and even topping out at 150 something is a lot of wind for a naked bike. This seems like too much power honestly and it’s light as hell, but I’d still ride the hell out of it.
Tuono
MT-10
I used to own the 899 Panigale, was an amazing bike. Due to the virus I'm poor at the moment but if things get better this will be my next bike.
Can't wait to see a comparrison to the Tuono V4 factory. Also, really curious what BMW will do to the 2021 s1000r, will it be a sibling to the new s1000rr (double r) or not!? We'll see..
This video just made me hungrier for my delivery. OMFG, I can't wait until the virus thing is over.
So how’s the virus thing going
The Z H2 a "little" too heavy to compare? It weighs more than my Multistrada...
Or my 13 years new Honda CBF1000, a sport-tourer bike. This is my main gripe with that bike. It's cool that it has a supercharger and all that jazz, but 239 kg wet is just insane for a naked.
You take the exhaust pipe off a hayabusa and it would then weigh less than a ZH2. It is that bad! Lmao
Green company have the man in their pocket 😅
And it's H2SX brother made 240 hp TO THE WHEEL with minimal mods. Sometimes it doesn't matter about the weight. If the bike is set up properly to handle. You guys won't be cackling anymore when the ZH2 blows past the V4 Streetfighter. It's all down to the physics of power-to-weight.
Lifted_Above do the same basic mods to the Ducati and it would be up there. The akra alone pushes it to 220hp drops the weight too so wet the bike would be less that 180 kg the kiwi can’t beat that
When I saw pictures of it the first time I thought it looked amazing, now not so shore anymore
Great review, it looks lovely but double what I paid for a new MT10! Don't think so.
How’s the engine heat?
I LOVE super nakeds! But a tour screen option is ideal. Is their a way to mount anything? But your right. The aprilia sounds better. Super duke is a beast everywhere. And I’ll add in my MT10. Which i love (bias). It’s hard to beat for the price. But I hope the next one gets a cc bump.
Great review as always neevesy!
But it sounds bleedy boring for a supernaked.
Doesent wheelie? What the heck 😁.
Its a naked with 200horses! It should wheelie all the time.
Looking forward to the supernaked test with tuono superduke and this duc!
In the pictures he posted on twitter he did wheelie....
It does wheelie, you can bring these up in third gear with ease once you're used to it.
I appreciate Ducati's effort to add straight bars and remove the plastics from their flagship superbike, but who is going to go 167 MPH on a naked bike? No one. Every presser mentions it, and it's nonsense every single time. The wings should go in the same bin as the fairings and the stock exhaust.
This bike can be ridden on racetrack very fast and in the hands of the right rider it can beat most green and blue vacuum cleaners.
As A Tuono rider and having owned 5 Aprilia's now I'm keen to hear an honest review on this Ducati vs the ageing Aprilia
Don't u think the new generation of the tuono is near?
@@theresonly1truth138 definitely! I reckon 2021 although Covid-19 may delay this. It just needs a fresh front end (I think the back is already good), a slight weight trim and they engine from the rsv4 1100 retuned to claim the magic 200ps/hp. I reckon that'll be a winning formula
You wouldn't include the mt10 in the comparison?
Needs an arrow exhaust on there pronto!
Not a fan of akra or termis?
Can’t wait til the showdown between the Tuono and the V4S
I'm sure he's saving his opinion for when the bikes face off.... Personally I feel like even though ktm is a wild monster, it just can't match up in overall performance when Compared to streetfighter & Tuono. So I would skip it. Bmw is a great bike but too refined for my liking (lacks character). It seems to come down to streetfighter & Tuono.

Now money is a factor Ofcourse but if you're simply picking the best bike to have..... What's it going to be??? Let's wait and find out ;)
Hang on for dear life! Thats the way I feel riding my 1299 S in race mode ( All the time except when raining ). I'm waiting for June delivery of my V4 S street fighter. 14,000 miles in one year of riding on the 1299. Hope I will not be disappointed. Used to 190 + MPH on the Panigale !!
i own several bikes,i see a lot new bikes,but man i dont change my tuono V4 factory for all the motorcycles of the world!!!! :)
Very nice bike....I am forced to ask why a bike that costs that much has a display that looks like it was tacked on after the fact though.
Neevesy on the Super Duke; “that has its happy switch flicked on all the time” That’s what I want in a motorcycle, thanks!
Front looks like the old z1000
I mean, you are so original
Agree, it does have that "sugomi" styling look with the front. I'd argue the Ducati does it better though :D
José Francisco Ramírez Kinda like the name your mama gave you?
Dman117 zx it’s like the old Z1000 headlight has been stuck on a panigale someone crashed, awful styling
Yeah it does a bit doesn't it, but I don't think that's a bad thing, as it was always a good look 👍
That was a nice review... thanks! I agree.. a little pricey for what it is. And I'm not sure how much good those winglets are going to do on a street bike, but I guess they look cool.
Beautiful bike, but for that kind of money, I'll just keep my old S4R. 85,000 km now and still going strong. The key to Ducati longevity is servicing, and knowing the running costs of my old girl, I think this bike would knock me for six.
The S4R is a nice machine and servicing is imperative. I had very good luck w/my 750 two valve for 16 years and my current 1200s runs like clockwork. Find a good dealer and do the servicing on time and in full and you'll have a very positive experience. Enjoy!
best review and awesome comparison everyone was quietly asking for!
Great review...I've had a deposit on this bike at my Ducati dealer since early Feb. Expected delivery was mid April, but I think that will be pushed back now. 1st mod will definitely be full Akra exhaust, with up map...cuts weight and increases hp...and sounds much more aggressive...just compare to Panigale V4 with same exhaust. This bike will be beast on the streets.
I hope your group review all 6 of the relevant BMW, Kawasaki, Aprilla, Ducati, KTM & Yamaha
Awesome review Neevesy. It’d be cool to see you have this as a long termer, take it to the Nurburgring and throughout Europe (after the pandemic ends of course).
want a review to the zh2 then compare it with this streetfighter
I do like that they did everything possible to make them sound like the old twins but I think Ape build the better sounding V4. Still I'd love to have either s Streetfighter or a Tuono in the garage.
Two engines are completely different apart from being v4. Ducatis 90° v4 with counter rotating crank and completely different firing order than Aprilia's. But Aprilia has said that they are not gonna go 90° nor would they make the counter rotating crank.
I have always wondered what would happen if the fairings of Pannigale were removed....
This is going to be my first road bike!!! Can’t wait!!!
I loved my 2013 SF848! I can't wait to get another Ducati soon!
I still love the Ducati SF V4S because of it's performance and looks. Please try to do a review on a MV Agusta Serie Oro 1000RR, that is if you can grab one, this is probably the best looking naked bike people can see.
I have new bike fever. Torn between this and the Tuono. Honestly, this looks a bit gaudy and the Tuono patented the best exhaust note ever. Either bike is faster than I will ever be.
Very much looking forward to the head to head with the Aprilia and KTM...
I am on a waiting list for one of these. Im glad I watched your video. It answered all of my questions and a few that I hadnt considered. This is not what I am looking for. I currently have 8 bikes that are near perfect, but the search continues for "the one".
The Panigale V2 Supernaked please Ducati!
Lovely bike but I would still prefer a Tuono V4 1100 Factory! ✌
Beautiful and ticks all my boxes, but I agree that for 20 grand it should be dripping in trick carbon
@6:20 My favourite bit of the video Mick. Only wish I coulda heard it. 😀
Great review Neevesy...Good heads up on important aspects of the Streetfighter.. Will definitely give one a try in the future... Will take a lot to get me off my 2019 Aprilla Tuono Factory... stay safe...
Thanks for the review. Do you really feel the difference between the bike with electronic suspension and none electronic suspension? I like to buy the V4 but I am not sure if I should pay the extra 4K to buy the V4s
Uv ridden the SDR 3.0? Wheres the video on it?
Get an Aprilia Touno and save 6-7K. Same raw power without the fancy electronics.
Being Solo minus a fair few ponys
Ducati is hitting it out of the park this year so far.
That thing looks proper mean! Thanks for the video!
Good job its so powerful. Look at the size of the radiator it needs to move around.
.... I remember watching MCN reviews of the original Streetfighter and thinking how crazy that bike was... This thing is wild ahahah
That's it, I am sold! Going out tomorrow to get one each for me and for the Mrs. Oh.... Hang on.... Sodding Corona Virus!!!! Paaahhhhhh!!!! Stay safe out there Neevesy and everyone else who is watching this video. We will get through this together👍👍👍
It makes the Diavel actually look attractive.
You’ve sold me, now I just have to sell a couple of children and possibly my soul.
Robnoxious77 how much you want for the children, I got a coal mine that need digging.
I did all that last week, the bike is Insanely good in all 3 major categories, Speed/Weight Handling Suspension/Braking
are they ginger? I'll buy them if they are ginger!
Nice bike, but typically overpriced Ducati. Tuono far better bang for buck.
Great vid quality, cheers MCN.
Love my Tuono. I am however waiting to see what BMW will come out with.
Agreed. A refreshed S1000R would be nice.
Next year.
I had the first model year 1098 Streetfighter. Amazing performance but no electronics and didn't handle all that well. That was back when Ducatis ran like crap under 3500 rpm. At 3500 rpm it was like someone flipped a switch. The new one sounds like it's much better.
In the comparison test, please include Speed Triple RS, despite its "lack" of power!
Please do MVAugusta rush 1000 review.
We asked and Ducati granted our wish.
Let’s go for a riiiide.
@@zaidenwalker2208 sad that you need something like that.. get a new girl
Thanks Neevesy for covering it all and giving the comparison with the competition great work! For the Tuono has the sound and is far better value
She sings like a V2 ! I M IN LOVE !
I cant afford a new one but I'm looking forward to picking up a used one in 5 years. 🙂
Give me this over the ZH2 every day
