Ducati Streetfighter: New vs Old
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 3 lety
Born of necessity when sportbike riders didn’t want a crash mixed with a lack of funds to keep them from riding, streetfighter motorcycles developed a significant following over the years for reasons beyond youthful determination. The power of the sportbike was still on tap and the bike itself was stripped down to its essentials - it was raw and visceral and unpretentious - tantamount to the yo...

Iv just had to sell my 2016 r1 as I got caught doing twice the legal limit on the motorway… going to get a 2 month driving ban haha but I had 3 years on the bike so it’s a small price to pay for all the fun ..
if i knew when I'm going to die .. I'll buy one a month before 😂
hey come on, you are already wearing a KTM jacket lol.
Well done. It takes a bit of getting used to launching these bikes. Back in 2009 I achieved a 10.21 on my 2004 Yamaha R1. Completely stock. Although I was very light back then, about 65kg. I’m curious, what is your weight? And did you use launch control?
wtf was @ 4.36 .... great review, great details and info !
From where you got the intro background music?
You have to remember this don't need a full rebuild every run. It can just go and go and go. Then be ridden home.🤘🤘😂

Great video! I only dislike the fact that we can’t run the bike on day time running light in Canada like in the US. This small detail prevent me from buying the bike. Sounds stupid but it’s important to me.
Very slow launches
Its funny yall dropped the tires pressure when the dude wasnt spinning.
It'*s a hot bike, like other vehicles from italy
This video was awesomely produced. Nice job. FYI... We're picking up the 20th Anniversary Bayliss edition this week and I can't wait to ride it 😀
Great review, to the point professional and informational. Keep up the good work.
WOW. some day y get the jump to v4.
Odd, because the older 98-2003 r1's ran 10.20 quarter mile because they had no rider safety computer restrictions. They were all driver skill. Even the 04-08 were capable of 9.88. Funny part is that the 03 (I own one) has only 152 hp. Mine makes about 170 after full exhaust and Power Commander dyno tune, so if I ran wheelie bars I'd likely run a faster quarter than the R1M because it's old school bike with the only electronics being it's fuel injection. The whole reason I bought an 03 is because I grew up on bikes without power modes and anti-wheelie tech. The only tech I don't mind is ABS, you can keep the rest.
90s - 00s bikes were on fire. 🤘🤘
I ran a 10.21 time on a 2004 R1 back in 2009, and it was my first time on a drag strip. Third run of the night and got that 10.21.

Beautiful review!🤩
Damn... The heat is a deal breaker, I was planning to buy this in the Philippines...
Where were you all these years? This has to be one of the best review with mind blowing visuals.. you should definitely do more.. you are a tough competition to other reviewers out there.. keep going bro.. love from India..
Thanks so much! Our shop has been crazy-busy with the current high demand that is going on in the sport but we can not wait to make some more videos. Hopefully things are going well with the riding in India!
PIÙ BELLA LA VECCHIA 1098S 💪💪💪 THE BEAST
No music next time mate. We want to hear the bike
So roll racing is the only win this bike gets lol 😆
*Clutch Plate:* You weren't suppose to do that 😀
your supposed to lube your chain?
🤣
Amazing review. That bike worth all the effort and patience to have one day before contry regulation forbids to ride in some places gas powered vehicles ( 2030 in France! )
Oh, man - that's a scary thought, isn't it? Hopefully the ownership of vehicles with internal combustion hangs around for a long while, even if the sale of new ones becomes outlawed. 🤞🏿
Crazy trap speed for a naked motorcycle!! I Trap 147mph on my 15 R1
147mph it is the same trap speed like a mclaren 765lt insane
Hey Paul, your buddy Matt is pretty cute. Also, I think you forgot to wear your platform shoes to the shoot 🤔 but seriously, awesome job everyone!
I’m getting a custom set made. I did try a set of dolly shoes but the danger factor was too high. Stay tuned Matt is sure to make more public appearances. 😜
@@RandyBoBand666 woah, that’s fancy!
Well done Paul and Matt, very good video
Yamaha MT10 has one of the most unique and polarizing appearances in the sport naked world. Commentator: "I wish it didn't look so generic."
Good quality video. It looks like a lot of time and editing went into it. One thing I didn’t get out of it, is how to protect from those damn rodents? Thanks!
Thank you! And while they didn't go into great detail, Matt did mention that the area that you store your bike in should be pest-controlled, so it is more about the storage location than any tips with the bike. So caulk up those cracks, replace the weather-stripping on the doors, and get a cat - everyone needs a cat! 😃
Great job boys!
So many people get hung up on the objective specifications of a bike, when it's the subjective points you just talked about that really tell the true story. I wish all bike journalists were that honest.
Im a Pastor
I found out v4 is almost same in weight but double the power, So I got a V4S, its also double the money, lol 👍like and comment back!👍 czcams.com/video/CoFN7qWQ6A0/video.html
Hey! I think I bought my monster from you guys! I had no idea your channel was so well done!
That's awesome! Thanks!
La mejor GT.
Why are they slower then the 2004-2008 R1's but have like, 40 more HP?
They're not
@@ShelbinoR1 look up the quarter mile times
Fantastic video guys. Please make more of these :)
After a bit of a covid-related hiatus (as in, it made us incredibly busy with our day jobs, so we aren't complaining), we have some more content coming your way. And thanks for the kind words!
Incredible video. Thank you!
Thank you for watching. We're glad you liked it!
Great video. Nice editing.
Yamaha is ugly, should have stay with FZ1 look.
But the heat.... Ducati. Sort that out please
What's the song called that plays between 1:25 and 3:05?
Great Video - 👍🤩🇮🇹👊🏻
Best bike i ever reden it's so full of joy when I ride it
That's awesome that you own one! It is so impressive every time we ride it - we can only imagine being able to ride one whenever you want. 😍
Were you guys using launch control?
Bikes way slower using launch control. Tested it loads on mine much quicker doing it manually due to lift control
We switched off all the electronics that we could to get an unadulterated experience. It was awesome!
Best bike review ever
That's awesome! Thanks, Janko! You're not a family member of Paul's, are you? 😁
@@apexcycle1481 not what I know at least
I did not like the absence of life in this review. It is like a cliche from an endless bike journals... sorry
No apologies needed. Paul is always toning himself down in the name of professionalism so it's good to hear some feedback that he get let loose a little. 😊
