Ducati. But would love to hear a pov comparison while doing the same speed on same streets. Static gives so much dry clutch rattle but riding is a little different when the basket is locked up.
My VTR sounds better than both but that Ducati doesn't sound good. I shortened my cans 20" & removed 1/4 packing & the sound is worlds different. Very nice RC you have there. 👍🏼
rc51 sounds so much better with low idle lope to the quick Rev throttle response. plus it being a wet clutch it doesn't rattle like the Ducati. that said I do love the single sided swing arm that Ducati incorporates on a lot of their bikes. but, honda wins🤘
Beautiful monster, let me know if you want to sell it. I’m in IL too, sold my old monster and currently have a STR but always wanted a S4RS and have the itch.
Space Jockey I own both of these bikes so not biased at all. Love both bikes and the dry clutch is part of the personality of the duc. But it is amazing how similar both motors sound.
definetly the RC,,,, theyre both incredible machines but for me the RC does it And the fact she makes 130hp/70 some ft lbs torque with no rider aids makes her a real muscle bike this is definetly a machine to be ridden with ur head,,,not ur heart!!! keep Safe man sweet bikes...
I've got a Superhawk. Can't stand the fake cam gear noise they built into it... don't like it at all. Perhaps they think its a supercharger. Yet that said, it's hard to find someone who likes the sound of a dry clutch
The RC sounds better in this comparison... My Ducati 996 with full exhaust smokes my RC51 for overall sound & the dry clutch is different/fun. Personally both my TL1000R's sound better than the RC51 as well....
Love the sound of a dry clutch...always reminds me of being in the pits at a WSB or AMA Superbike race from 1988 - 2010...
In my opinion the RC51 is the 2nd best sounding bike ever. 2nd only to the 79' Honda CBX1050. Again, just my opinion.
Ducati, and I like the sound of the dry clutch too.
Basically exchanging a chattering dry clutch noise for gear-driven cam whine.
i was surprised how they almost sound the same.. tuning out the dry clutch on the ducati.. both awesome bikes..
2010 M1100 Evo got rid of the dry clutch, but that is 5 years after the S4RS.
RC51 hands down
RC51...but I'm a biased 2002 SP2 owner
they are two of the best Motors ever made but I have to say is an s4rs owner myself the Ducati wins by a narrow margin!
RC51 sounds best to me but I am biased since I had a Superhawk :). Nice bikes
+haknslash Your correct RC51 sounds way better, Remember you cant hear the gear driven cams thru the video. It sounds like a supercharger :D
Proud owner of a Superhawk and a RC51.
RC is hands down the best sounding bike!
2 legends ! But the S4rs is just so amazing ! #ducatilover
I have the same Combo! 2002 RVT1000R and 2004 S4R! I love both!
Beautiful bikes man the 2 best sounding bikes ever to be heard by the human ear !!!!! Perfect.
Thanks brother!
rc51, nothing sounds better..........especially with sato banzais. 03' owner here.
I was so happy when the bike shut off so I didn't have to listen to that damn clutch
I was so happy when I had to replace my clutch plates without changing dirty oil and it turned out to be a 15min job 😜
Ducati.
But would love to hear a pov comparison while doing the same speed on same streets. Static gives so much dry clutch rattle but riding is a little different when the basket is locked up.
that ducati is such a handsome bike
My VTR sounds better than both but that Ducati doesn't sound good. I shortened my cans 20" & removed 1/4 packing & the sound is worlds different. Very nice RC you have there. 👍🏼
I have a Ducati Monster S4RS and love it don't get me wrong. However the RC51 sounds like music to my ears.
The RC 51 wins every time,I currently ride a VTR sp-2 with a full Akrapovic race system,so am a bit biased!.
love the dry clutch!!! music to my ears...but only cause i own one lol
I hate the dry clutch sound. Seems like something wrong with the engine/
@@lorenzomagazzeni5425 i love it
rc51 sounds so much better with low idle lope to the quick Rev throttle response. plus it being a wet clutch it doesn't rattle like the Ducati. that said I do love the single sided swing arm that Ducati incorporates on a lot of their bikes. but, honda wins🤘
I despise the dry clutch sound
Ducati for sure. But that is a good sounding Honda.
Duc is nice RC is waay better tho
rc51
Beautiful monster, let me know if you want to sell it. I’m in IL too, sold my old monster and currently have a STR but always wanted a S4RS and have the itch.
Honda has a wine at the end of the thump but the click clack can be annoying also
Much better the sound of the honda
their both great bikes
Two awesome bikes. Thanks for the vid.👍
Always wanted a RC51 but ended up with a TLR.
RC51 All the way! Proud 05 RC51 owner.
rc51 all day! and I have both bikes tooo! lol
Would it of killed you to pull the S4's clutch lever in for a bit so we could hear the L2? I reckon you might have had a bit of an agenda, me thinks.
Space Jockey I own both of these bikes so not biased at all. Love both bikes and the dry clutch is part of the personality of the duc. But it is amazing how similar both motors sound.
Ducati note a little deeper. The bass wins.
gawd I want my RC already...
Extreme bias to the S4R. It's my friggen dream bike, bro.
definitely the RC51.
definetly the RC,,,, theyre both incredible machines but for me the RC does it And the fact she makes 130hp/70 some ft lbs torque with no rider aids makes her a real muscle bike this is definetly a machine to be ridden with ur head,,,not ur heart!!! keep Safe man sweet bikes...
Duc all day!
rc51 sounds like it's about to suck in a black hole. Such a beast.
Ducati sounds much better without the dry clutch rattle.
RC51 : plus simple à entretenir dans le temps. J'ai les deux marques !
one liter Duc eater
Ducati's are nice never rode a bike with a dry clutch but I HATE that sound gives me anxiety lmfao
RC51 ALL DAY
I've got a Superhawk. Can't stand the fake cam gear noise they built into it... don't like it at all.
Perhaps they think its a supercharger. Yet that said, it's hard to find someone who likes the sound of a dry clutch
If it wasn't for the dry clutch on the Duc it would be close but that noise is SHIT! SP AAALL DAY BRO!!!
The RC sounds better in this comparison...
My Ducati 996 with full exhaust smokes my RC51 for overall sound & the dry clutch is different/fun. Personally both my TL1000R's sound better than the RC51 as well....
The only thing that is bad with the Rc51 is how fat the fairing is.
Pillokun the fairing is huge and the bike is a heavy pig but it doesn’t feel like it when riding.
Both!
honda rc51 3:35
Rc51 all day!! The Duc sounds like a sack of doorknobs. Ha!!
I have a Duk, but that sounds like crap...
dry clutch love the that sound, not! vtr ftw!
DUCATI sounds BETTERR
Ducati easy
Sei a piedi in pratica
Rc 51
Ducati sounds like it going to fall apart ant the honda can sound a lot better with a better set of cans this one is very tame
RC51. Nothing before and nothing EVER will sound like it.
RC51..hands down
