Ducati V4R vs Honda CBR1000RR-R SP Brands Hatch GP Circuit Trackday

Both bikes fully setup for track/race, similar level riders, which bike's fastest!?
I'd say the Ducati was marginally faster in a straight line, marginally. But, it does seem to turn better, although the CBR rider had slightly better lines and was thus much better on corner exit....

This is some of the quickest track day riding I’ve ever seen. Jesus Christ. There needs to be a new group set up for you and that other guy. Seriously advanced group.

[@TheRickDickinson]

Haha, thanks Jonathan! We were doing well 🤩

[@verdeboyo]

Hey Rick, wow that was blindingly quick. This is why I wanna stay in Inters, cos I would not want to get in the way of the fast boys. Roll on 2023 season Sir👍🏻

[@TheRickDickinson]

Haha, thanks! Tbf, we were going well that day 😬
Don't worry about the faster riders, they can make their way through 👌

[@anviwa3]

👍👌

[@TheRickDickinson]

🤩

[@scottsmith491]

Absolutely fantastic riding skills on display. Both bikes seemed to be pretty evenly matched. That Ducati sounds and looks demonic!!👍🤯

[@TheRickDickinson]

Thanks Scott! Yeah, I don't think there's much in it either. But, the Ducati sounds amazing 👏 😍

[@itshappening100]

seems like your friend is better on exit... but great ride

[@TheRickDickinson]

Thanks Martin! Yes, his entry is generally a little bit wider, which gives him a better exit line and therefore drive. Something to work on!

[@Okipouros]

Don't take it this the wrong way, but I think you can be faster by having a bit later apex and lean faster. and i dont feel comfortable seeing you compeltely off-throttle mid corner.

[@TheRickDickinson]

Hey Okipouros, you're right, and those things are areas that I'm working on!

[@imwithstupid00011]

Nice riding fellas.

[@TheRickDickinson]

Thanks Col, was a good day!

[@ChasingTenths]

Isn't that Bob Collins on the Honda

[@TheRickDickinson]

It is 👍

[@ChasingTenths]

@@TheRickDickinson well if you are keeping up with him then you are going some pace . Well done mate

[@nikobd9984]

Very nice track riding, great camera view! Ducati is a beast and I think the CBR is a good bike. Thanks for the upload 👍

[@TheRickDickinson]

Thanks Niko!

[@mrinalnarzary3382]

Japanese bikes are the beast among all other bikes. Honda's are the true aspirations of 1000cc. They are the founders. We should deliberately thanks them for their bike cultures.

[@jannovak1775]

Honda king

[@TheRickDickinson]

It's a good bike!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Gooooooood cornering Husband Head!

[@TheRickDickinson]

Thanks Wifeface, I did good on the straights too!

[@oteimoto85]

Best hubby / wife comment ever. 😂😂
Fast AF dude.
Loved it 👌

[@robbo3106]

That bike revs so clean and acceleration is unbelievable- cracking riding

[@TheRickDickinson]

Thanks Robbo!

[@jayvdz]

Amazing. Any issues with noise testing? What exhaust are you running?

[@TheRickDickinson]

Thanks Jay! Always issues with noise 😭
Mine's a custom setup with PipeWerx cans. 50mm internal diameter I think, helps and barely any difference to performance.

[@ernstqueller]

From all us slower riders, thank you for the clean, safe passes! 👍

[@TheRickDickinson]

Haha, no worries Ernst! I try my best 👌

[@DylanGSXR]

Now that's some riding. Jesus Christ man . great footage .

[@TheRickDickinson]

Cheers bro!

[@DedhamValeTreeSurgeryYoutube]

I enjoyed watching you go round brands with Bob on this day. Harry (long haired guy on a 2021 black fireblade)

[@TheRickDickinson]

Harry 🤩 Hope you had a fun day too mate! Sticking with the blade next year?

[@DedhamValeTreeSurgeryYoutube]

@@TheRickDickinson I am indeed. I wrote it off the other day at snetterton though. I’ve got it in at Sam Palmer performance being re built + extras. Got any euros booked?

[@markhathaway4847]

Thats impressive 👍

[@TheRickDickinson]

Thanks Mark!
