They softened up the newer models. I owned a 2014 and in sport mode you had to focus on keeping your throttle arm limp and loose on bad roads. One little bump in the pavement and it would turn you into a bobble head with a snappy throttle and instant torque.
GRRB hardly mate. I owned a S1000rr before and not even close to the same fairing. Also it’s more upright and geared for the road. Best naked bike period.
The MV feeling like a race bike on the street is exactly why would I buy it. It is going to make the trip to the business meeting in a coffee shop or a restaurant feel the most special :D
@@ur_boyfriend8612 Oh yeah, I would pick the superveloce as well. 1000cc is way too fast for me. I have the f3 675 and even that I think is too fast to fully enjoy on the street.
No comment on DOTs... but Pirelli slicks are incredible for racing/hard track use. I used them the past 3 seasons, won a few regional and one national title with Pirelli. They wear out a bit quicker than other brands typically but you can't beat the 'feel'. Especially the front tire. SC1-SC2 front tire bar none the best♥️
What a selection! So I tested and reviewed the Ducati streetfighter V4s a few months ago, and was blow away by just how amazing it was. I love how much MV has stepped up their game in electronics, yes there's still more to go, but it is a great improvement. I love the sound of the H2, hate the looks haha, the KTM I never really hated or loved, it just was good and that's it. The tuono was a bike I was going to get, but went with it's big (well equal engine sized) brother the RSV4 1100 Factory, but that bike is still the benchmark for supernaked bikes. For me it is between the Ducati and the MV, I want the MV Agusta Rush, or the serie oro, which says a lot being that I have several Ducati's.
Once upon a time I would have said the Duc V4 but after blowing 2 water pumps, waiting 6 months for spare parts my attitude has changed. The best bike for enjoying the road is the 2018 Indian Scout Bobber with mini apes hangers 😁
@ more like lose on highest setting. It's some no name brand,with the money that I've spent should had optional WP steering dampner. Bike that can do throttle wheelies in 3rd gear if you land it bit on the side,things can get scary,had to me once outcome was safe landing. Overall in 39 year's buying streebike, by far it's best city bike,am Kawasaki man. My Zx-14r turbocharged is my perfect cruising missile. Too bad they are retiring the old girl,I waited since 2008 and 2012 for major upgrade,I would've thought for sure they could put supercharger, latest electronics.My reason them not doind it,HEAT in the city when bike was stock,sometimes i look down see if my pants were on fire. This was reason i needed great new bike checks all boxes,Comfortable, torque, doesn't get overly hot sitting at street light.,extremely light,and for V-twin put her in sweet spot runs like inline 4. What's there not to like?
?? confused start of track session ".. we're staying on the same tyres" .. 15 seconds later shots of the V4S with a slick up front and at the wrap up slicks all around? Assume you chose to also have some fun on full slicks but that is not called out.
A die hard KTM fan I love the 1290 motor. Then tried a Tuono and was gutted.I'd been missing out for 5 years. It's exceptional everywhere and provides heaps of confidence. And the MotoGP sound track from the acro+remap is to die for. Try one buy one.
I commend the production, the review, and I respect Adam's opinions, so I mean no disrespect when I say that I don't care how fast these go around a track. I would have rather seen a test that involved commuting, some light touring, and general canyon faffing. I suppose seeing how they go around a track is not an invalid use case but if I want a track bike I'll buy a used R6. I would buy one of these for where stoplights and minivans dwell.
Totally agree Jeff, more real world testing and less or even no track testing would be a good shout. Good to see a well produced video from someone other than 44T (who are brilliant).
Who buys one of these for commuting? If you can afford any of these bikes, you'd have another bike for commuting. Besides, mainstream YT channels can't show fast riding on the road for legal reasons, so they have to test on the track.
Jeff I agree with you I would like to have seen more of a Street side but with Covid I'm just happy to see any type of new motorcycle content lol. I wish these guys would do a video on the KTM SDGT, BMW XR, Ducati Mutlistrada and the Kawi Versys 1000 SE LT
For less than £10K you can get a low mileage Monster R that'll give any of these a run for the money. 163HP, 0-60 2.9 secs, all day comfort, 50mpg. Simply more capability in handling, suspension, safety, ride quality, braking and acceleration than you'll ever need.
@@garmit61 with 5 year 30k km interval for belts I wouldn't take that as a deal breaker. As good as the Aprilia is, there is a higher chance that the aprilia breaks down before the duke needs it's belts change.
Quite honestly, pick the one you like the most when you eye on it. Each bike has its own character, each bike is a premium bike, you won’t go wrong with any one of them.
@@peace9667 ah okay. I heard that the quickshifter and the gearbox is better at the newer one. But know what you mean.. i have to choose between the streetfighter and the ktm... wanna buy a new bike
I own the 2020sdr, the semi active suspension tuono and the zh2. These bikes are all great and have a unique character that each other cant deliver. All are winners and bargains compared to the 20k+ club. I did try the SF but wasn't prepared to wait 9 months and blow 20k for one so the zh2 got my money. Zh2 once u add a smaller exhaust u lose the 2nd cat and save about 7kg. Noise is fantastic. So unique. Straight line acceleration has the low down of the sdr and the mid range of the tuono and the top end of the SF. Really is something special. Tuonos chassis is a masterpiece. Its a work of art that aprilia have perfected over the years and shows that even tho 25bhp down its only 0.2 of a second slower than the 200bhp brand spanking new 20k Ducati SF. The sdr now has a chassis to be be proud of. My 2019 sdr was a piece of crap. The 2020 sdr handles as well as the tuono but has the vtwin grunt and delivers its power in its own way making it a difference experience to tuono. Like comparing a fast diesel to a fast petrol. Both fast just different. 2020 is a good year for supernakeds 👍🏾
I had a tuono factory I just sold. Amazing bike. Favorite naked I’ve ever had. Before had the SDR and loved the engine but the chassis and feel was not there at all. Looking to buy a 2020 SDR and you said there was a big improvement on the handling. I may give the duke another try.
@@kylethompson2276 definitely do give the 2020sdr a test ride. I took the demo out after taking my 2019 in for first service. Bought it soon as I got back! Chassis has been massively updated and the engine is lighter which seems to rev quicker. The handling of it is alot more focused and tuono like now. Just like they say in the vid. Good luck 👍🏾
Bit the bullet ! Made a deal on a 2021 Ducati V4 S , FIRST Black Stealth in the Greensboro N.C. area. Upgrading too Akra exhaust and MAP before I accept delivery ! Cant wait too take it too the track. test rode a 2020 ,, what a comfortable bike on the street .

@@bazitube390 Yeap Japanese bikes are cheap rubbish. No wonder Ducati bikes break down faster and aren't as reliable as the Japanese bikes, but it also costs a fuck ton more to repair the damn thing. If Japan is producing "cheap rubbish", then Ducati's producing expensive trash.

Like I said if you dont have one dont influence other people from buying one. Cuz I actually have one and can say if you are cheap and dont take care of your stuff and run it raggy and get mad cuz it dont last... dont get one....LOL
@@bulletclub4life Go on the forums. Here on youtube there are many folks who have had problems with their ktm. They don't do so well in reliability surveys as well. Several testers and vloggers have had issues with them. Do your own research. Richyvida had a new Superduke fail on him So bad it had to go back to ktm for repairs. Lamb chop rides had the left handlebar cluster fail to light up. Others have had issues as well. Do your own research.
Rode the speed RS the other day…the fact that it’s not on the list makes me wonder if I would ever want to get on any of these. That thing was blistering fast (taking it easy on a “test” drive).
@jimmy Van rossen the only real flaw would be the rear shock. Im no suspension expert yet even i realize its garbage. No matter, ive had an ohlins bouncing around my Garage that will be installed on my ZH2. Every other bike in this video is essentially a regular bike. That ZH2 is something really special. It will smash everything else in real street riding... and not by only a few bike lengths.
The Kawa is restricted in the ECU.......240hp on the back wheel is possible with an ecu flash and a few mods....Brock Davidson has proved this with the H2 SX......It would easily be the fastest bike here with the ecu restrictions removed and a few mods
So what you are saying is that you need to modify the bike to get it on an equal track time (on a fast track) with the others? I mean, I get your point but an ecu ash doesn't make the bike lighter. That whould be the biggest Problem of the zh2 unfortunately.
I would love to hear about comfort aswell. Seating position, comfort, etc. Ktm vs Tuono for example. Of both really loves track and road, which one has most comfortable riding, aggressive vs neutral.
Yall know a StreetFighter/Naked bike is not supposed to be lightweight. It's a street bike not a track bike if you want better suspension, brakes and less weight take the Superbike. I mean this seems pretty obvious
@@thepsychicpeach8425 not really mate if Ducati / Ktm / ape /bmw can make a naked bike around the 200kgs with over 180hp, decent brakes , decent suspension why can’t kwakas? Just a poor excuse kwakas have been behind for years now
@@ur2slob724 Well the Zh2 has a whole Supercharger. The others don't. Plus the H2 is a bit overweight compared to race bikes. And Kawasaki has been in the lead for a few years now. And they dominate a bunch of motorcycle categories.
At first I was a bit disappointed about the look of the ZH2 but as I saw it in person at my local shop I was impressed! Ride safe and enjoy the life on two wheels
I test rode one and it's kinda lame I was so hyped for the bike and I was disappointed after riding it. The bike lacks any character and feels like the most generic i4 engine from the most generic Japanese brand. Also, it's so gutless in lower RPMs which make any 1000cc superbikes feel like torque monsters in comparison. Yes, it looks great but that's the only thing which is going for this bike.
@@Fearless154 as someone who is only really written Ducati I really love the way the Brutale looked but the guy that works on my bike says that we're going to be best friends if I ended up getting one
It does pass the 230hp. Their stock bikes are made for a large number of consumer so they have to restrict it's power. With tuning it goes ballistic. No wonder Kawasaki have been winning WSBK more than anyone else. Last year Yamaha won though.
What a world to live in with these fantastic choices. I *really* want a Tuono V4, but the closest dealer service is more than 120 miles away. There's only one dealer in the entire state of North Carolina, despite Western NC having some of the greatest riding in the country. Such a bummer.
Great vid. I think I'd have to go for the KTM as I'm fond of a brutish big V-Twin. It seems a bit Jekyll & hide too which appeals as well as a do it all type of bike.
Why channels keep including the Tuono on the NAKED shootouts? Just cause the manufacturer wants to call it a naked doesn't mean it is. The Tuono is clearly a faired bike without a belly fairing, it is definitely NOT A NAKED...
They should have made the MV an 1100 cc! All the others have more CC. The Tuono just need an engine upgrade and it would Beat them all again. Greetings from Holland. Great Video.
@@gerrycollins8794 That is an interesting take. It is the weakest with 17 hp less than the Super Duke. But it is still a naked derived from Yamaha’s flagship race bike. The R1 engine an chassis are still some of the best in the market. It would all depend on what classifies a “hypernaked”. If it’s power what is the minimum? Would it be able to enter that category with a simple toon?
@@gerrycollins8794 so because it's down a few horse power it's not hyper? Idk why they put the name hyper on a naked bike to begin with. If it's a 1000cc or more it's automatically a beast. If that's the case it should be called "hyperduke" not super. Like ducati, yeah it's got power but a 15 year old gsxr1000 can still beat it with like 50 less hp.
Damn this is such a great review! I'm a big fan of KTM but all these bikes are just off the chart I like the setup of the Kawasaki the best just because a little more relaxed than the other bikes I don't think you can go wrong with any of them! Thank you for making this video 👍👍👍👍😎💯
mv agusta not being last in terms of laptime is definitely a change i thought its traditional for mv agusta to make the most expensive and slowest in class bike.
I like the dragster800 RR over the brutale 1000. Of these bikes the Tuono is the best thing on 2 wheels. If the dragster was on this list I’d go MV all day long but since it’s not then the tuono is it

If anything is slow about these bikes, 90% probability it’s the organic thing between the handlebar and the seat called the rider.
We're in good times when a 178 HP motorcycle can be described as "a little lazy". 😂
It's a twin cylinder large cc engine, compared to all of the others competition there, it lacks top end grunt for sure
Yalla habib - My friend has the touring model. I rode it for a bit. Real nice machine with plenty of poke.
Superduke feels more raw and brutal , bad first bike✊🤣
30 yrs ago...that only belongs to the factories race bikes...
They softened up the newer models. I owned a 2014 and in sport mode you had to focus on keeping your throttle arm limp and loose on bad roads. One little bump in the pavement and it would turn you into a bobble head with a snappy throttle and instant torque.
For performance per pound and awesome soundtrack it can only be the TUONO V4. Also an Absolute Bargain atm @£14K 🥰

For the price and how I would mostly use it, the ZH2 would be where my money goes. I would just have to upgrade the rear shock.
Too bad it’s heavy
I sat on the Zh2 and the seat felt like a board. Sweet bike though.
Agreed, i bought the comfort seat from kawasaki... it changed the bike completly
@jimmy Van rossen brakes, suspension and about 30kgs to loose
@jimmy Van rossen the only real flaw would be the rear shock. Im no suspension expert yet even i realize its garbage.
No matter, ive had an ohlins bouncing around my Garage that will be installed on my ZH2.
Every other bike in this video is essentially a regular bike. That ZH2 is something really special. It will smash everything else in real street riding... and not by only a few bike lengths.
Maybe I would choose the Aprilia or the KTM.
Good vídeo!!!
MV for all day long!
Great video, love the overlay with all the info, well done guys 👍
I read all the comments and everyone praising this or that bike BUT I know that all are craving the DUC SF 😎
Great review guys , I have recently traded my V4R in for the Matt Black Street fighter V4S for April so can’t wait for that 😎😎
The Kawa is restricted in the ECU.......240hp on the back wheel is possible with an ecu flash and a few mods....Brock Davidson has proved this with the H2 SX......It would easily be the fastest bike here with the ecu restrictions removed and a few mods
So what you are saying is that you need to modify the bike to get it on an equal track time (on a fast track) with the others?
I mean, I get your point but an ecu ash doesn't make the bike lighter. That whould be the biggest Problem of the zh2 unfortunately.
my absolut favorite is the Aprilia Tuono V4 and no other motorcycle
Tuono V4 wins, in my heart.
I would love to hear about comfort aswell. Seating position, comfort, etc. Ktm vs Tuono for example. Of both really loves track and road, which one has most comfortable riding, aggressive vs neutral.
ZH2 being the cheapest and super charged would have been my obvious pick if it didn’t have such polarizing looks !
Also 30 kilos overweight
Way to heavy with average brakes and suspension
Yall know a StreetFighter/Naked bike is not supposed to be lightweight. It's a street bike not a track bike if you want better suspension, brakes and less weight take the Superbike. I mean this seems pretty obvious
@@thepsychicpeach8425 not really mate if Ducati / Ktm / ape /bmw can make a naked bike around the 200kgs with over 180hp, decent brakes , decent suspension why can’t kwakas? Just a poor excuse kwakas have been behind for years now
@@ur2slob724 Well the Zh2 has a whole Supercharger. The others don't. Plus the H2 is a bit overweight compared to race bikes. And Kawasaki has been in the lead for a few years now. And they dominate a bunch of motorcycle categories.
Superduke looks the best.
One day I will have one, I do love my Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 though.
I honestly just want all of them. If I had to have 1 only it’d be the KTM I think. But that mv is easily the coolest
SF V4S for the win as expected a beauty that become the best beast on track, Love the mv too its a masterpiece
That was a nice review. Thanks for posting :)
Would be cool to have the new Speed Triple and S1000R alongside to see how they compare :)
Love the look of the Kawaker H2. Sicily is an amazing place to be testing as well.
At first I was a bit disappointed about the look of the ZH2 but as I saw it in person at my local shop I was impressed!
Ride safe and enjoy the life on two wheels
The MV is so pretty I can't really consider the others
I test rode one and it's kinda lame I was so hyped for the bike and I was disappointed after riding it. The bike lacks any character and feels like the most generic i4 engine from the most generic Japanese brand. Also, it's so gutless in lower RPMs which make any 1000cc superbikes feel like torque monsters in comparison. Yes, it looks great but that's the only thing which is going for this bike.
@@Fearless154 as someone who is only really written Ducati I really love the way the Brutale looked but the guy that works on my bike says that we're going to be best friends if I ended up getting one
The V4 mass distribution of the Aprilia work is magic.
Kudos for using the time stamps! Works well in doing research. Please keep it up.
Kawasaki always have their stock bikes more restricted than the others, with good ECU tune and and few mods I'm sure it will easily pass 230hp
It does pass the 230hp. Their stock bikes are made for a large number of consumer so they have to restrict it's power. With tuning it goes ballistic.
No wonder Kawasaki have been winning WSBK more than anyone else. Last year Yamaha won though.
Nice review 👍 would agree with Adam's results there very good 👍
Very nice comparison! I like that you didn't pick a winner! Very good work! My favourite: Tuono, it's just an iconic bike.
What a world to live in with these fantastic choices. I *really* want a Tuono V4, but the closest dealer service is more than 120 miles away. There's only one dealer in the entire state of North Carolina, despite Western NC having some of the greatest riding in the country. Such a bummer.
That's what I call being spoiled for choice! Those bikes are what dreams are made of
all of these bikes are incredible. it all boils down to rider's preference. none of these bikes have a deal breaker element imo
Best bike review seen in a long time...awesome.
Great video. Presented correctly and very informative. I really liked it.
Eight seconds from Duc to Kawi... that is like a couple of years on track.
Aprilia Tuono factory, best bike for the road.
Great vid. I think I'd have to go for the KTM as I'm fond of a brutish big V-Twin. It seems a bit Jekyll & hide too which appeals as well as a do it all type of bike.
I love 1290!;:
For the weight and the supercharger help I was really expecting the Kawasaki to have the most Hp... KTM for me
What a stunning collection of motorcycles! Lots of information in a short time. Tight knees, loose elbows.
I'm taking the ktm all day as it does sound like the best overall everyday bike that can still rip the track
Why channels keep including the Tuono on the NAKED shootouts? Just cause the manufacturer wants to call it a naked doesn't mean it is. The Tuono is clearly a faired bike without a belly fairing, it is definitely NOT A NAKED...
They should have made the MV an 1100 cc! All the others have more CC. The Tuono just need an engine upgrade and it would
Beat them all again. Greetings from Holland. Great Video.
Yeah 2017 sdr ktm, very happy, yes plzzz
In my part of the world (Perth, Western Australia), I'm surprised that I don't see any KTM Super Dukers on the road.
Great review, Based on what I know of all these bikes you nailed it.
I already have the 2020 SDR and my 2021 SF V4S is due to turn up some time before December.
Bullshit
@@crimzikk Haters gonna hate, I'll make sure I enjoy both bike's for the two of us, I'll have a smile on my face at your expense.
i guess my MT-10 is inferior, never mind im getting a Super Duke this weekend :)
Nice, congrats on the new bike, the Super Duke is an animal.
If you wanna go higher than an mt-10, switch to a Supersport.
Ktm 1290 Super Duke R anytime , been riding for a year , daily ride , still give me the excitement..
I’m glad you included the MV, but I’d probably choose the Kawasaki since I live in Florida and the twisties are few and between.
Damn😔😔, they left out my boy the MT-10
Deliberately too. Just like the S1000R because neither were new for 2020, as the title suggests!
No the title doesn't suggest that. It suggest 2020 naked bikes...
The MT-10 is a super naked and all these bikes would be considered hyper nakeds.
@@gerrycollins8794 That is an interesting take. It is the weakest with 17 hp less than the Super Duke. But it is still a naked derived from Yamaha’s flagship race bike. The R1 engine an chassis are still some of the best in the market. It would all depend on what classifies a “hypernaked”. If it’s power what is the minimum? Would it be able to enter that category with a simple toon?
@@gerrycollins8794 so because it's down a few horse power it's not hyper? Idk why they put the name hyper on a naked bike to begin with. If it's a 1000cc or more it's automatically a beast. If that's the case it should be called "hyperduke" not super. Like ducati, yeah it's got power but a 15 year old gsxr1000 can still beat it with like 50 less hp.
That jungle tune at 1:30 is pretty badass
I love my Tuono. Love my Speedy lol
But oh God when Aprilia updates the Tuono hahaha the others should just stay home they won't beat it😉
Super cool review thanks for the info now could you get another bunch of bikes that I can actually afford and review them thanks have a great day
Love all of them. The Duke makes me the happiest
When you have so much power the only thing getting in your way is traction and a desire to live to ride another day.
Nice format of review, won me over.
Enjoyable review, lots of great info. Which is best the title posed? , verdict, depends on what you want..... Aw
I wanted to see how the Speed Triple stack up to these bikes as well as the BMW S1000R. Hopefully, there will be a 2023 reiteration of this.
I’m jealous, you have the best job ever! Thanks
Loved this review!
Aprilia all day because
1). Best sounding bike in the bunch.
2). Lowest power but still scores 2
3). A bit economically than other's
Damn this is such a great review! I'm a big fan of KTM but all these bikes are just off the chart I like the setup of the Kawasaki the best just because a little more relaxed than the other bikes I don't think you can go wrong with any of them! Thank you for making this video 👍👍👍👍😎💯
mv agusta not being last in terms of laptime is definitely a change i thought its traditional for mv agusta to make the most expensive and slowest in class bike.
I like the dragster800 RR over the brutale 1000. Of these bikes the Tuono is the best thing on 2 wheels. If the dragster was on this list I’d go MV all day long but since it’s not then the tuono is it
