BMW HP4 Road & BMW HP4 Superstock ridden at Imola | 'Track' Tests | Motorcyclenews.com

BMW's HP4 FIM Superstock 1000 cup bike has made racing history. It's the first bike to race with electronic damping both front and rear and, furthermore, it's winning.
We grabbed the opportunity to throw a leg over the current, leading STK bike, and its stablemates to see how this highly-evolved road bike translates to superstock racing.

I think I just went from six to midnight... Awesome!

[@boxxer750]

love the pops as it changes gear on the quickshifter. What is that?

[@gghg5]

MCN's videos on motorcycles: either put 98% shot of some deuche's face talking or shots on deuches riding around with no info.
Brilliant! Keep it up!

[@Lessdeth14]

I concur. Apparently there are four corners at Imola and you can go around them at some miles an hour on various motorcycles.

[@VolV8]

...very insightful...

[@Nulibrium]

I learned a lot from this video.

[@Starforever2010]

What is the difference of lap time

[@phantompen1]

The difference is fairly obvious in how they handle, the rider even sets up different for the turns the bike sounds different. THE MUSIC IS PURE CHAOS LOVE IT.

[@sarvesharma]

itunes of the google play store?

[@airmano_]

Did any of you read the video title ?

[@harleymdavid]

soo whats the verdict?

[@wunderbambu]

whats the song...?

[@wefysan58]

luv the dub and the bikes... yeah thats right

[@wsbygt]

Nice video but the riders dont look at ease with their ride. Any reason for that, like poor tire choice or suspension setting?

[@katana258]

why the sound would be off anyway ...

[@_t3dward]

i need that job.

[@johna6968]

I'll be seein that set o' corners in me sleep..

[@Patriiiiick]

What?
Anyway, I understand that it's a preview but I don't see why that means there can't be a few words from whoever was riding the bikes.

[@patriotbarrow]

Out of the two, I definitely prefer the BMW bike.

[@lioncityFighter]

I love the bmw but my only problem is with the different headlights.

[@ceesmvanwijk]

Why are you so slow? Was it a wet track? You start looking at the apex just before turning it in. Thats too late! Try to look at the apex during braking already it'll help you gain confidence and increase your corner entry speed. Anyway wish I could've riden one of these bikes..

[@Billbothebear14]

WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT.?
Lovely pictures guys, but where's the comparo' text.. the riders views.
Silent movies DIED in the 1920's. no more please, even if it is tied to a feature in the comic.
WF

[@khuong1994]

i reckon they should end it with something like "catch the whole story in todays issue" or something along those lines. it's very vague otherwise

[@AIBETTSYIA75]

MCN are a news paper...they need to sell newspapers to make money and therefore create more news papers. So maybe if they advertise what's in the paper you may go and buy it? Hence why group tests are featured in the paper a week before they are posted on youtube.

[@anthonio222000]

Not what I expected....

[@deinemuddaisdoof]

WHY music? :/

[@Beaver314]

Where is Neevesy when you need him? It's a decent ride but i'd hardly call it thrashing?

[@Patriiiiick]

Not even a few simple words on how the bikes differ?

[@Fizzer99]

re-upload without music please...

[@KsNoz]

woohooo, that kawasaki was fast...i bet you guys didnt see it XD

[@Bisse_Elison]

Wow that looked slow!

[@romanizaboss6641]

YAWN!!!

[@Riku0990]

Kill the dubstep with fire!

[@meshoelrewesh]

i've seen the video twice, still im asking my self... AND ?? guys i thought i was going to hear a difference between the bikes ?? maybe ?? any one ?? hellooooo :D

[@MrHaribo11]

its not a vs video

[@katana258]

their sound on videos is poor ...wind ,back grd noise,

[@onoff314]

Guys when will you learn print is a a dying media. More effort in this type of media at the start will make more in the future.

[@adam92ea]

Yes, the BMW was way better.

[@gggromay]

sorry

[@Elevatorlake]

Why on earth would you make a video of a guy going though a handful of corners over and over in a not too impressive manner and then overlay it with some crappy, too loud music? Crap! Gives us some comments about that STK-bike instead!

[@spdz]

hmmm wats the purpose of this vid?.. no review, no walkthrough for the superstock, no technical comparison..
irritating background music and burst of exhaust note every-now-and-then..
MCN.. you should do better..

[@iFly555]

BMW was the better of the two

[@adambrzezinski8009]

Wtf

[@luv2mx]

Spam

[@TheStriker0525]

slow riding at its best!

[@97210]

What a waste of 2 minutes 36 seconds of someones life

[@ALTRON3]

terrible music

[@MrAranhaman]

Very Weak rider

[@Damaff23]

And the point was..... Like watching f1. Boring

[@tomdolby46]

This video is completely rubbish. Just two and a half minutes of watching two BMWs going round the same few corners very slowly countless times. NO verdict, NO opinions, NOTHING. Come on MCN you can do better than this!!

[@craigturpin8570]

BORING!!
