#motorcycle #Ducati #MV Agusta
There's one thing I missed in this video for clarity. MV and Ducati CAN be compared in terms of supersports, even though the Ducati Supersport is a larger capacity bike, the MV F3 is a more powerful higher performance machine. The F3, especially with the new RR version, can even compete with the Panigale V2 in terms of performance. Even if you add this segment its close, but for me MV wins as I'm a sucker for that F3 design.
Can’t lose either way
I went with the Indian ftr1200 s. Last year. I'm pleased.
You didn't mention the mv agusta brutale 1000 nurburgring edition ...
Gotta be kidding. Those models are ugly as hell
Ducati is Ferrari
Aprilia is Lamborghini
Mv Agusta is Pagani
Benelli = alfa romeo
Ducati is actually partnered with Lamborghini lol.
I recently purchased a 2012 MV Agusta Brutale 1090 rr. Man what a ferocious engine even in rain 🌧 mode. It just pulls and pulls and that exhaust note as the engine spools down, the pops gurgles and growl is addictive. The thing is I love looking at it just as much as I love riding it. If price was never an issue, I would always go MV > Ducati. Hoping to buy a new model MV dragster 800 sometime in the next few years 🏍🇮🇹🖤!!
This is the comparison I’ve been waiting for. Totally unbiased. I would however say Mv is better because when people are in the market for an Italian exotic then money isn’t top priority. However, I would say Mvs are more extreme and Ducatis are more compromised.
Mvs resemble Lamborghinis so much. Not only in design but we have a dealer here in Detroit and having gone to many Lamborghini dealers I can say the Mv Agusta dealership gave me the same exclusive exotic vibes. There were only two bikes in the showroom 😂. And they were on desplay like artwork. There was a lounge with Race suites and artwork. You had to order and spec your Mv so they could taylor it to you in Italy. Truly a notch above any other bike manufacturer in my humble opinion.
Yeah I'd agree, it's actually kind of sad to me that they've started to look more like Lamborghinis in terms of design then Ferrari. Like the original F4 is the Ferrari of motorcycles to me, sleek simple but beautiful, whereas the rush or brutale 1000 are wild and aggressive and crazy looking. Not as much my cup of tea as their other bikes, like the Superveloce. Much love!
@@bartmotorcycle I would say in terms of design, Mvs resemble Lamborghini because of they’re crazy aesthetics over function. However, I believe they still resemble Ferraris because of they’re high pitched, high reving, f1 sounding engines. Ducati Id say is the opposite. All of their bikes still have the red on the top part of the engine to resemble the Ferrari Testerosa. Mv is staying true to its roots id say.
Great video by the way! Subbed and waiting for more Mv content.
@@bartmotorcycle I’m sure that within the next couple years when the f4 returns, which is currently in development, we will see that Ferrari resemblance in the design. Much like the f3s simple sleek design.
@@xaviergarno5348 yeah I hope so! I'm wanting to get an original f4. I spent a long time looking at their current stuff, and its all a bit too much for me and for how I ride, and I love classic motorcycles so for me the original F4 750 is perfect, its a classic, iconic bike, about 130 horsepower so still fast but not as crazy, they're certainly going to go up in value over the next 30 years, like I think they're at their lowest price right now. I do think the current F3s are amazing looking but that's the original design.
@@bartmotorcycle yeah the f4 scene in The dark knight is iconic. That bike is beautiful. My dream bike is the 2017 F4 in red and silver similar to the one in the movie just newer.
I agree with you 100% on the middleweight nakeds. So much so, that I bought a Dragster 800 earlier this year... I've riden my friends Monster 1200s and I tell you what, the monster has more punch at the bottom end, but in a twisty road there is nothing it can do to keep up with the dragster... its not even close...
Styling is such a subjective thing, Again - I agree with you that MV make the best looking bikes on the planet.
What I will say is this though, You can't compare two bikes without spending time around them and on them... Looking at them in person, feeling the build quality, looking over all the fine details and little design features that you don't see in all these pictures...
Literally, nothing compares to the M.V... They are a cut above everything else on the road, but they are not without their downsides... Maintenance on them is frequent and expensive.
So much goes into comparing bikes, especially bikes as amazing as Ducati and MV Agusta bikes.
I would highly recommend getting out and test riding them if you can ;) it will change your life and ABUSE your wallet!
Sadly you're right. Can I come ride yours? 😄
the turismo veloche isnt an adventure bike. it is a sport toruer. the upcoming lucky explorer is the MV adv
MV for me…I have owned both and kept the dragster 800RR…awesome bike.
I test rode both the Multi strada V2 & Turismo Veloce & bought the MV Agusta. Can't say anything bad about the Ducati but it simply too straight forward a good motorcycle it's kinda boring to me, unlike the MV Agusta which makes me smile each time I see it 😆
Good video. MV for me. My taste has broaden in areas never expected. From owning a 65 bmw r50/2, 70 Moto Guzzi 750 Ambassador and a Triumph Spitfire and MGB cars to currently owning the most insect looking of all motorcycles a(ktm 890r in black!)😂crazy! several years ago would’ve puked if you told me I was going to own that bike. Ok keep up the good work!
it's kinda stunning for me to see this comparison, MV is such a small company compared to Ducati, and the workline of MV is much more handmade oriented, I don't think I've ever heard someone here (same city as MV) try to bring this kind of argument up. It's common to explain MV style here referring to their role in helicopter production and design. Still a nice entertaining vid btw
For me the MV Augusta wins. Not just the Supersport bike are not comparable but also the adventure bikes engine capacity difference is big which makes them incomparable.
I simply loved your video and couldn't agree with you more. Ducati is the Ferrari of Motorcycles and MV is, for sure, Lamborghini. Aprilia, IMHO, is Maserati at best, hehehe.
And, like you, I am a huge MV fan. I think they are the most beautifully designed motorcycles ever. And it would be a dream to get one. I do hope they bring the F4 back again, and have a similar version to the Claudio edition, that would be a dream to have.
Don’t worry. I talked to a Mv Dealer owner here in Detroit and he said a new f4 is under development. Mvs my favorite too
You are crazy aprilia is the best naked ever also rsv4 is at the top. I have a Superveloce and tuono and love them both but aprilia is top of the food chain period.
@@davidmhead personal preference
@@xaviergarno5348 personal preference?? I’m talking performance. My tuono is pushing super sport performance to the crank. 204 hp. Aprilia is beautiful and performs
i'd say MV is rather pagani - much more exotic than its ferrarri / lambo counterparts.
Can’t compare F3 vs V2 even though they both race in the same class in AMA and WSSP? Ok then.
MV every time, can't beat the uniqueness. You almost never see another one especially if you own an F4. Ducatis are great bikes but the emotions that MVs stirr is unbeatable. I get hyped every time I open the garage.
this ia quality content i wonder why you only have 153 subscribers?
just started out so hopefully it'll grow. Thanks though!
@@FLuuMP it will grow. it has potential, and im just using my moms account coz my phones broken😂 i'll subscribe to you using my own account when my phone is fix. just dont forget me when you have a million subs in the future man. just keep creating quality content👌
Whoops I responded on the wrong account. Lol thanks!!
@@bartmotorcycle hahahahahhah wth
I was hoping for an actual “company” showdown. Not yet another CZcams video of bike comparisons.
I’d like to see a comparison of the company’s histories, racing pedigrees, ownership, factories, etc. Just my 2¢.
You didn't mention the mv agusta brutale 1000 nurburgring edition ...
I'll go with MV. Ducatis are dull by comparison. MVs sell for less than list price, sometimes many thousands less, and, there seems to be a good supply, rare these days.
I am a bit late coming to this party but I just did my own bike to bike comparison and I found the bar width and reach too much on the Multistrada for me at 5'10" tall. Plus, the seating was not comfortable. The TV is a sport-tourer.. and I have no intention of riding off road. I love the looks so much more...
Great video! 😂 I generally agree with you regarding the styling of these two manufacturers. Both have gorgeous looking bikes but I think MV Agusta has the edge…except for the Rush (vs the Streetfighter). IMO, I think the Rush is a bit over-designed. It’s the one bike in MV’s lineup that doesn’t appeal to me aesthetically. 😊
Great video!
MV AGUSTA FOR ME
Supersport sales are plumetting so manufacturers arent as willing to make them like MV Agusta which is a small company with 200 employees. They had a great supersport line in the F4 but it has been discontinues for a long time. Yes the Claudio is somewhat recent but it's 86k
ManyThanx Cool Video!,
Mv agusta ..D’best ❤️💪
Rarri vs lambo on 2 wheels
1000rr cantik gayezzzz...next
mv's the 2 wheeled Bugatti. What color is your MV?
Turismo Velocce = Sport Touring
Not an Adventure Bike
Best compared to the Hyperstrada or Super Sport
The hyperstrada I can see for sure, the supersport is just a middleweight sport bike. There's a really interesting podcast called brap talk, ep 70 I believe, where they briefly talk about how mv messed up their target audience with the Turismo. Essentially they were trying to grab some of the 'touring' segment that's so massive in the US. But touring here means something completely different than in Europe. There it's more sport touring like you said, here it's cruisers and full on adventure bikes. But you're right the Turismo is neither
Why isn't mv as widely known as others? When we ask people about euro bikes their list is something like this
Ducati
BMW
Aprilia
Ummm ..KTM
and people start scratching their head almost for a minute and say MV Augusta after a whole minute why is that so?
For different reasons.
Aprilia was a top runner in Moto GP accompanied also by Italian championship pilots like Biaggi e Rossi so it has a lot of exposure. Same story with Ducati but with an extra, Ducati top pilots were coming from different countries and this helped the international marketing.
BMW, to be honest, in Italy was absolutely nothing except for those riding the GS which was basically the main one you could see in Italy. When BMW entered into the sport segment area, nobody really trusted it at least in Italy, we are mainly japan bikers, but they did pretty well and with the pollution rules that cut out the 600cc in Europe, now BMW it's pretty popular, the S1000RR it's impressive.
KTM was basically nothing except for motocross lovers who instead had it in great consideration together with Husqvarna. When KTM came out with their mototard segment, things changed and they became a popular known brand for everybody, their 990 was such a thing that I was close to buy one even if I come from the sport segment.
MV Agusta was founded like during WWII but it has a problematic story of change of management, wrong investment and its presence in the motorbike championship basically ends in 1974 so it's hard for those who were born after that year knowing this brand, which is also pretty small compare to the others. You have to wait the 98 to see the restart, when the company was joined by the designer Tamburini father of the F4 model.
To all of this you need to add the fact that Agusta is expensive, bit less than Ducati, but it has less presence around the world and like Ducati, compare to other brands, it's not really known has a reliable motorcycle, which true or false, it has an influence on the buyers. For example, in my case I would like a Brutale 1000rs or a Ducati V4 or a Streetfighter, but the problems I hear about on youtube are as such, that a japanese may be more viable.
The music makes it impossible for people with hearing impairment to hear you.
Redo this when the F4 is back on the table
Well, i just end up buying into both brand so no need to decide XD, absolutely love my 2018 F4RR though.
Agree 100%. Top bad they don't make the F4 anymore. What do you think of the F3?
Ur soo lucky man
@@bartmotorcycle The F3 is really good, the 800 is better as street bike, the 675 lighter for track. I had the chance to ride the F3RR,, and well, its basically the best sport bike i ever ridden, and I have M1000RR etc,, just the F3RR is actually usable, already kinda too much for road use, so light and nimble, perfect amount of power,, just perfect. But to work on, horrible,, the F4 is amazing, took me 2h to strip the entire bike to bare frame.
mv is the pagani of motorcycles
Street fighter for me.
MV’s are a bit sexier, with the Super Veloce and Dragster, but Ducati’s are more practical. I like the Dragster, I really want one, but, you can’t ride pillion. Also Ducati’s have an immobilizer standard for added security…
…
The Superveloce is amazing
Brutale vs V4 naked
MV all the way
Ho una MvAgusta 910 del 2007 e non la scambierei nemmeno per la Panigale.
Ecco cos'è MvAgusta 😉
I own 2 MVs and 3 Ducatis and the Ducati bikes are more exiting to ride, much better sorted out bikes but when it comes to beauty, the MV is hard to beat. Also getting parts for the MVs is almost impossible, even for bikes still in production. I waited 6 months for a Sprag clutch and 4 months for a turn signal, there goes your riding season.
I'll take a Brutale 800 over the Audi Monster any day of the week and the Brutale 1000RR over my first born child. Also Ducati = Ferrari, Aprilia = Lamborghini and MV Agusta = Pagani.
LAUNCING,,,,PAP,,,@
brutale 1000 and rush look so overdesigned makes them look like a chinese knockoff of an italian
Very busy bikes. Firstly I'm a biker. Lets look at the most beautiful car in the world, jaguar's e type, simple lines, simplicity is beauty. The Italians have gone to far, the multistrada if painted yellow is big bird from sesame Street. The 916 is beautiful as a faired bike, nakeds.?..you mean original British bikes? Thats where beauty lies.
So much mis-information. If you're going to post a video comparing the brands, actually do your homework on brands instead of sitting on your butt staring at your computer and reading what you see. Not even going to start the list of everything that is incorrect.
