Three Ultimate Euro Superbikes Compared: One Is a Clear Winner

When you think value for money, you think Aprilia. It is an awesome bike and with the aftermarket cans, which are far cheaper than the Ducati Akros, you put a smile on your face. The Ducati looks nice but why would I want to part with 14k? It’s unfair to put this SP model as a comparison with the Aprilia.

What's price to quality? We are the Elite! We are Ducati!

So where is the Yamaha r1 m?

Ducati sounds like shit what yall saying

...hey, how bout that power on the Aprillia...

The Aprilia is a steal at $24k. No brainer.

what the hell do you need traction control on buttons for traction control is your wrist, your feet and your arse O)

Where is the Reaper? Aka Fireblade 🔥

buy the Aprilia and then some extra carbon fairings, new steering yoke, and you’re still gonna be under the rest by thousands .

aprilia für 24000 euro gegen 46000 euro Ducati... genau mein Humor

A lot of Ducati haters. More than likely because they can’t afford one. If cost is a big factor for you it’s ok just don’t hate ;)

70390 $ ducati v4 sp2
63141 $ bmw m1000 RR
29337 $ Rsv4 factory
These are the prices in Türkiye, Aprilia is the winner in terms of price performance.

the aprilia does offer some of the most bang for your buck performance. yeah the styling is much to be desired. but changing settings relative to what track you're riding could make all the difference. Most people buying these bikes will never use all the tech. they typically are just street riders.(which I'm not arguing is a bad thing.)

Why comparing 1100cc with 1000cc?

The dude sitting alone on the couch has the testosterone levels of a newborn girl

No track times?

Problem with the BMW is if it isn’t tuned you will get beat by a 600. The mid range power is a complete joke.

why comparing the SP2 with the aprilia RSV4 Factory? I think much honest comparison would be the V4S. It is already more expensive bike than the RSV4, and here you put the SP2.. nonsense. Why next time just bring the superleggerra and give it a try

A friend bought that ducati V4 SP2, cost him about 60k canadian, it didnt have a fuel gauge, or cruise control, and it got so hot it was literally burning him.

Ive owned about 30 sportsbikes over the years, fantastic machines. Then I got a RSV4 and had to recalibrate.

BMW! Is my bike out these three. Aprilia would be my second choice, also a aprilia reminds me a lot of a suzuki, they have so much incommon. Ducati not all that to me??? Now I'm just waiting for "BMW" too enter the motogp.

thought those bikes had 215hp?

Id like to see the same video with the base /lower trim models of each brand

Nice comparison.
I drove many bikes, the S1000RR is such a beast and reliable. My goodness from zero to 240 in fourth gear and figting to stay on the bike... Incredible power.

Ducati is it's own league of itself, the sensation on any model is special... Also special is all the troubles and high maintenance.

I owned an Aprilia RSV Factory R, the emotion, the reliability and funfactor is amazing.
It's like the BMW but with a rough edge and an unbelievable sound.

Aprilia is the one to buy, it will always give you the smile you want and doesnt destroy your wallet every single time you go out 🤣

Maybe put the rsv4 X Trenta up against the m1000rr and panigale v4sp2?

That's closer to fair...

Aprilia is fantastic ❤ 🇵🇹

Ive owned an Aprilia RSV4 and absolutely loved it. Pure nirvana. Id like a Ducati Panigale now not because its better but because Im so blessed to live in a time with such incredible machines that inspire the soul.

Your right, the Kawasaki ZX-10-RR didn’t win 6-WSBK titles in a row?

I don't know about the brakes on the Panigale. The stock master cylinder is horrible. The brakes on the 1199 feel better.

Feel like this would have been a much better comparison with Streetfighter V4S and S1000RR Msport. All.around the same price. This isn't even a fair comparison. I get that the factory is Aprilia top tier, but you can't compare bikes that are taken to another level to one that not. Add the carbin wheels and whatnot that comes with these 40k bikes, and the RSV4 would probably blow them out the water. The simple fact that it was even able to compete against these 2 says something about Aprilia

It's nice to listen to you guys, but it seems like you were unfair to Aprilia. How right is it to compare Ducati and BMW's top package with the standard RSV? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a standard S1000RR and Panigale V4s or to modify Aprilia a little?

I can't take advice from a guy that crosses his legs that way.

Wtf? Adam can speak in normal speed?

I miss the track times of each of you on each bike...

Buy a used RSV4 1100 for around 16-17k and youll be the happiest rider alive. So agressive... BEST SOUNDING BIKE AS WELL!

I missing sweating balls dragging knee at thill. Literally sweating purposely trying not to die attempting to get faster each track day.

KTM 👀

I want to see how the videographer manages to capture such smooth motion and keep the bike tracked and focused through a turn.

A tune, a race exhaust (without that low-end limiting valve) and some carbon fiber wheels and you are still cheaper but more nimble and really fast. Aprilia people know you spend 99% of the time commuting with those, not track day'ing. I prefer the colorful version of the RSV4. As for the sound, no contest, Aprilia!

i want to see the base model plain v4, s100rr, and rsv4 not these $35k+ bikes that are 10lbs lighter with overrated ohlins electronics and 20hp that we can all get back from a flash and exhaust already

Panigale and Aprilia is the WSBK Champion,

Who is BMW ???? ohh a safety bike

Is Adam on adderral..?

It makes no sense to criticize the Aprlia for the price. It’s unbelievable. Imagine if it made a 40k bike for sale for the public.

Ducati is few categories above the rest in looks, Aprilia looks pretty bland

Ditch the podcast review set up. its weird for a rider to listen to dudes talking about riding. I dont wanna see you dudes nor hear much of your yapping. I want to see and listen to the sound of the bikes and less of you dudes opinion about the bikes.

Aprilia all day really

I just can't that much for a motorcycle (Ducati) even though its amazing from front to back. I'm in the market for a '20+ RSV4 so the info in this was nice to hear about the handling/braking/power of the big 3 brands. My friends all ride BMW so of coarse they expect me to buy one lol.

Ducati should make a Panigale V4 SP2 Supersport. For riders who want to get their head ripped off in comfort. I love my 939 Supersport.

In my book just comparing a $26k bike to a $40k bike speaks volumes. Aprilia does an amazing job for the pricepoint. You could just take that extra cash and upgrade the bike and it would be way better than the other bikes.
