- Two exotic Italian beauties, the 2007 Aprilia RSV1000R and Ducati 1098S get into a Euro catfight out on the street and track in this MotorcycleUSA showdown. Read our full review:
www.motorcycle-...
The wheelie into the van was a sign of what's to come lol. Don't expect a great review lol
1098 will NOT lap quicker than an RSV. Pair of sellout Ducati fanboys. The Ducati has a stock claimed 14kw power advantage which isn't worthy of all their ranting on power delivery. Also as an RSV owner I can tell you that if you de-cat the exhaust and swap it to map two its mental when you head north of 6500rpm. Anyway ... enough wasted energy on these goons.
😂😂😂....totally
ugh , amazing how every other review of the Aprilia sings the praises of the torque on that bike. This is why I go to MCN to get real reviews.
How biased?
And when they show the clip of the two bikes flat-out on the straight (away) the Ducati isn't gaining ground over the Aprilia. Not such a flat power delivery then?
This is in effect a worthless review when they are so obviously looking for the continuing advertising revenue from Ducati and biasing their 'opinions accordingly.
I test rode a 1198S back to back with my RSVR recently, bikes having similar mileage. I could not pick any difference in acceleration between to two from the saddle. You could lean the 1198 over a bit quicker going into turns but the aprilia felt a bit more stable and confidence inspiring in every other situation. Both are fantastic bikes, this comparison does feel a little biased.
Matt, the bike comes as standard in road mode on the ECU mapping, take it to Aprilia and get it opened up to track mode map, both maps are supplied as standard on the bike from purchase, in UK costs $90 to switch mapping.
And which bike held the record round the Nurbergring until recently? Yep RSVR
Blimey, what a strange review. I own a 2008 Aprilia 1000 rsv factory. The power delivery and torque is ridiculous from the twin engine
they are Ducati Fan Bois....you know....blind like Trump supporters
Aprilia is an Italian motorcycle brand, and has been around since 1945, you probably haven't heard about it because it's better known for it's 2 stroke bikes - like the RS 50, RS 125 and the RS 250.
Ya I don't get the "Flat" Comment about the RSV1000R. Mine has quite a few upgrades now and tuned at 140hp.. But Stock it still had lots of pull.. if a 600 is blowing by you or pulling a way from you.. You're doing something wrong on the Aprilia.. Love the V-Twin. They are right about the handling though. Sticks and Handles great.
two clowns are confusing flat with smooth and predictable 👍🏻
Linear is how it should be .smooth is fast .a think thay love the ducati .
The Aprilia is a fantastic bike, it's just a different breed. Incredible handling, fantastic braking, beautiful bike!
This review: brought to you by: Ducati.
I havent rode an aprillia but ive rode the 1098s and i thought it was the most awsome bike i have ever rode. The Brakes have insane power and have a nice feel to them. The motor pulls and revs very fast. The handleing i never pushed the bike hard but i was cornering at over 100 mph and it felt too easy. I bet the aprillia is nice to ride too.
I'm surprised at their review of the Aprilia. I have a 2009 RSV 1000R Factory, upgraded with an Akrapovic EV06 Racing Exhaust and the power output is quick and responsive. It does have good linear power but the throttle response is fantastic. I also find it easier to ride than the Ducati. The ergonomics of the Ducati leaves much to be desired.
Wow.. solid torque power all the way through vs, a shot of power somewhere in the power band, and you choose the latter? So strong power all the way through is somehow less than a shot of power in a certain spot with weak spots elsewhere. Seems like bias to me. I like Ducs but the Aprilia is nothing to crap on like that. Motor on boil? If its linear all they way through why do you need to keep it on 'boil'? 600s pulling away from it? Throttle broken? Seriously is this any more obvious? I think your personalities are 'flat' lol
I'm calling bullshit on this review.....
they were obviously meant to favor the ducati in this shootout.....way to make it obvious guys!
Paid by Ducati much?! That Aprillia fucking ROCKS~
1100cc Newly designed bike vs 1000cc 4 year old designed bike, wtf would u expect?
The aprilia is still the better bike by far the 1098 bloody horrible to ride.
@@zedddddful Depends, I still own a 2007 Aprilia but I have jumped on a few of the 1098/1198 Ducs and some are great some not so, it depends a lot on how they have been set up and ur personal preferences . . .
@@Wheelnut78 the ones I've tried have been not very nice to ride as a track bike probably but for the road no thanks give me the ape any day.
141 bhp has "no power" are you serious?
Based on what? You have ridden both?
So true...I love my RSV.
let me guess you are sponserd by ducati,
in the latest test the RSV factory beat the RC8, buell1125 and the ducati 1098S on the track.
When i am at a track and see a bike with mechanical trouble it is almost every time a ducati, that rotax of the aprilia is bullitproof.
I would love to own a ducati but it is to expensive and not relaible enough.
More bhp on the rsv would be nice but it kicks ducati ass every test on a proper race track.
out of the subject but im trying to get a ducati 1098r and im 16 i got a gsxr 1000 with a single exhaust cus duel makes the bike slightly heavy plus i worry about it scraping on the floor =/ i jus want estimates or wat you think i should do cus my dream bike is a ducati 1098r
600's pulling away from it ?
Please explain ????
lmao these guys serious? aprilia has like the widest range power band. get an italian to ride is these guys must just be scared of it. unbelievably bad review
exactly...i ride a 2006 zx10r and ive never ridden another bike that pulled as hard as it does....and ive adjusted the suspension to my needs and it handles amazing.....doesnt get any better for the money than the 10r
I wish they could get some money for doing a DVD or something (I would buy it!!).. I really like to watch M-USA videos. As it comes to quality I think these got very good quality for an online mag.
haha... how can they even think about sayin a 600 can woop the rsv in the straights?
i'm very diappointed to watch them talk crap about my Aprilia rsvr, i've owned six different bikes, but i love the Aprilia the most in everyway.........please correct ur grammer next time
Love the way that guy just about wheelied the duke int the van !
Totally agree, they put an old bike against a new one, 999cc with 1099cc.
yeah, I was going to say, here in canada the 1098 base model is 10 grand more than the RSV1000. the 1098S is another 10 more than that. so basically you could have two RSV 1000's for the price of a 1098S and still have money left over for all kinds of goodies.
What a fucking joke, these guys are obviously Ducati lovers. I've owned both brands and I like the Aprilla better. Totally unprofessional opinions.
I just did some roll-ons with my lightly modded RSVR against a 1198S with bling and an exhaust. I rode the 1198S as well. Both bikes are great but the 1198S could not out-accelerate me. The 1198S is rough off idle and the RSVR is buttery smooth. The 1198S is worth around $18 000, my RSVR, $8 000. I'll hang on to my RSVR thank you very much.
Total bull review of the Aprilia engine. Maybe they gave those guys a restrcited engine so that it matches their limited skills, or did Ducati pay them to say it?
I like how they say the 06 Factory RSV won masterbike, but are comparing a BASE model Aprilia to an S model 1098... Seems a little pointless. "We know the Factory is the best bike in 2006, but we're comparing the Base model". From my understanding the RSV Factory is about 16,999$ US, and the 1098S is about 18,999$ US. So the FACTORY wouldn't be a comparison and is still cheaper. Why compare apples and oranges here. I like both bikes but this is clearly biased.
You guys need to loosen up, take some tips from topgear! filters on your camera and some emotion in your words :) clip on mics so you can walk around and gesture as ya do. Still good review!
what is the difference between the factory version and the non-factory version aprilia
how would the 08 YZF R1 rate up against these bikes?
What does he mean when he says the Duc has no "over rev"?
@SngrLover BTW, Ducati are made in Bologna, Bimoto in Rimini, Benelli are made in Pesaro and Aprilia are made in Noale and believe me, im not from the USA, im from belgium but my wife is Italian and we go there every year so i know what im talking about!! Btw i drive a Ducati 848 and a Hypermotard :-)
@Cyberwolf41 Aprilia's engine is coming from Rotax
@joedeats Not necessarily. Smooth can only get you so far until a lack of power is noticeable. Take the S1000RR for example, the bike is faster than most any other motorcycle on the track mostly because of its mental engine.
Both will out handle the ZX10r on almost any day. They also have a character and aura that will make heads turn away from the ZX10R and towards them when they pull up. Next up is put an MV Agusta in the garage to keep my Aprilia company.
@Cyberwolf41 WTF, the aprilia engine doesnt come from ducati!!
Dear Santa Claus ...
If you test a bike in a circuit remember that Aprilia needs a rider who has a deeply feeling with it, and you haven't got. RSV needed to jam on the brakes later than others, also swinging the rear, and let it run inside the curves, especially in the fast ones. On the wet it was superior, great and confident. Try to do your test under the rain, riding faster, not wheeling and nothing else. Nowadays with it you may have great fun!! Test it in a normal winding road for real users, it's the best.
The Aprilia is the bike you buy if you want a great handling bike you can live with every day. The Ducati is what you buy if you are going to the track or like to push it to the limit. Both are great bikes although the Duc is more capable as a sportsbike out of the box. The Ape has great potential but you need to remap and modify it if you happened to buy it stateside.
Having personally ridden the RSV1000R and a Base 1098 with the Termi upgrade, I do have to admit that the 1098 has a lot more charachter not than just the Aprilia, but nearly any bike on the road. This will sound weird, but the only other machine I have ridden to date with a difinative charachter like the 1098 is the Triumph Daytona 675.
Guess these guys are sponsored by ducatti. .. Aprilia is an awesome bike
its not fair really to compare the aprilia RSVR that hasn't really changed seens 2004 to the new ducati 1098. the motor in the aprilia is the same block thats been in the RSV seens it came out in 1998, aprilia has just been updating it all these years. when aprilia comes out with the RSVR 1200 we will see which bike is better.
Yeah i totally agree...definitely a shoot down of that gorgeous piece of machinery... also...the 1098 cost like what? twice the price almost as the RSV? COME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!
@SngrLover Are you crazy dude... where did you get your information, Ducati, Bimoto, Aprilia and Benelli doesnt come from the same factory!!
In the early days, Bimoto had some Ducati engines and thats it, also Aprilia had some parts from a Ducati motor, but those days are over!!
But they are NOT from the same factory, if you go to Bologna they make 1 bike and thats Ducati!!
Its about the little things that make the difference, because in the end for us normal ppl everything thats a super car is impresive but as u get to know it l see the difference in the end and those differences are the ones that will make wana go for another ride. Thats the difference between a ducati and other bikes. Because in the end ducati made 2 cylinder motor a high performance one and the rest are just trying to get there but dont have the recipe.
I'm not saying these guys don't know what they are talking about but a linear and predictable power band is a good thing. Smooth is fast, linear is predictable and repeatable. Smooth in, smooth out equals fast.
I love both Bikes though, I love Ducati and Aprilia I just think they are judging them wrongly. The Ducati is a hooligan bike...I'm a hooligan so I love it, the Aprilia is a gentleman's bike, refined and smooth handling.
Wrong track for liter bikes. Willow Springs would have been better. You would be in 2nd gear most of Buttonwillow.
Seems to me Adam didn't much care for the RSV lol.
I can only guess they had a broke rsv as the Aprilia should eat the Ducati for breakfast !
Geeeeez we don't all have tracks in the backyard. The RSV was designed for the road with the ability to more then handle track days. Anyone who has had the chance to ride both bikes will tell you that the RSV will eat the 1098 on normal roads where i think the majority of us ride. Ducati make beautiful bikes but they are not reliable. RSV - can't wait for the new stuff - gonna kick ass, me thinks.
If you think the RSV motor doesn't have character you are a total jaggoff
If you want value for the money, you buy a ZX10R, which is way faster than both of these bikes out of the box. Slightly faster than the Duc on a track, but definitely way faster in a straight line, and costs much less than the Ducati.
Obviously these guy's opinions are biased. They don't even know that both bikes are powered by engines and not motors.
For those on the fence, look elsewhere for a less biased review. RSV is way better than they're making it out to be.
This guy is talking crap, I have an Aprilia RSVR 2005 (standard/no mods) and I have been keeping up and even out accelerating my mates 2009 Firblade and my mate 2010 GSXR750. The handling is so sharp.
MCN. "Hard suspension’s a pain on bumpy roads but divine on the track or good road surfaces"
This the review from MCN, Yes a little hard on the road but awsome on a track, and I believe these guys are on a track. You're right 1xp4wq, these guys got paid.
Grandi moto bellissime
Yah might want to go to livevideocom, theres lots of bikes and riders on there.
i love my RSVR however i agree with the review, the engine is a let down, the Ninja ZX6-R even has more bhp per ton than the bike, though the mid range is pretty strong i thought...
Well from what i see here most of the ppl that ride a bike say that a ducati suckes because it has a high price, and it doesnt do 300Kph as fast as some other bikes now let me ask u: what would u chose betwen a 80k E corvete and a 200k E ferrari when both have 200mph if u have all the money to spend.
yeah i got one, it rocks
i wouldnt be suprised if they were taking back hander from ducati to hype the 1098 rsvr got great reviews everywhere els i will say though the stock cans on rsvr really do chock the bike but nothing akras wouldnt sort
Just like the RS3 Cube for MotoGP
looks nice, but thats about it...
What a bullsh*t that the aprilia rsv 1000 got overtaken on the straight by 600 cc motorcycles. I own a rsv and no 600 cc bike has ever overtaken me on the straight!
This is a blatantly unfair comparison. You can't take a design has been unchanged in any real way since its release in 2004 and compare it to a much more recently designed and built machine and expect to see the same level of power. The Rotax that powers the RSV in my opinion has plenty of midrange power, especially if the bike is given a proper mapping. I feel that a serious lack of interest in unbiased review is apparent in this video. It seems only to be a good expo for a newer design.
You don't like Aprilia, you suck! Take a ride on a V4 and you'll cry mercy
so which one is better that the other???:S:S:S:s
@mandalee118 hahah that's the best comment i've ever hear! Couldn't agree more mate! Eloquently put!
If a bike is faster that doesnt mean its better cause in a straight line every noob can drive the difference is that the ducati is giving u the feeling that no other bike does of stability and goo handleing and if ur friend doesn't know how to ride a bike that doesn't mean its suckes( the bike that is)
try the Factory 2007 i own one, pulls on my arms while acclerating.
Whats a Du-carti?
These 2 talk crap! its not a shoot out, more a shoot down of the aprilia!
The tall guy did not even have the mic to his mouth at one point.
And pretty much, after reading other comments, people feel the same. Crap!
I don't understand what they are talking about (rsv 1000). The arpillia is known for all round good bike. Maybe their was something wrong with their arpilia, or maybe they're just used to riding 4 cylinder bikes ^^
Did realise that:
1 The Aprilia usa spec is lower than the uk
2 Ducati as like 100cc advantage
And the ducati requires more effort to get the best out of it, thats why the aprilia won the masterbike competition.
if u care to read the uk motorcycle magazine the reality is that it aint that good for the money lol
i think you should buy 1 for me too
WOW!!! now that takes skills omg ur so pro....owning a 600 when u have 1000 cc motor ur suppose not to have problems against them dooh
There is nothing wrong with the aprilia, But when you compair it against a 1098 engine, your talking another 100 cc and Ducati have really made a powerful motor, I've rode one myself. The engine on the ducati will make the aprilia feel like a 600.. It pulls so hard from nothing. The ducati handles beautifly but I've not rode an aprilia so I can't compair. The Ducati's power is still usable but it does come awake on the sraight.. Test ride one for yourself. ps aprillia will own a 600
Actually, its almost 150cc larger.
ehh at 0.27 secs did he crash into the van
Lol i think you're right man. i test rode that aprilia and it feels like a giant kicked it in the tail when i hit the gas. then again i ride 600's.
people bitch about the Ape being 10 years old, and the duc bein' new. Well, Duc's arent always known for Reliability, in the first place, and Ape not only has an engine that is KNOWN for reliability (Enduro records, check'em, Rotax), but now is going on 10 years of production. Versus the Ducati's 1-3.
To Ape riders - is the RSV1000 at all "twitchy" or "unforgiving", like a Jap 600 SS? Or more akin to a BMW M3, very kind unless you want to play hard? Transitioning from a 250R Ninjette.
In newer times, aprilia is most winning in every class on motoGP. Then why?
240p? really?
What a joke
Ummm... I've owned a Ducati,what you doin race bike.I now own an RSV. Ducati is more of a kill you if you don't know what your race bike. The RSV is a smoother more forgiving bike for the everyday rider guy. But it is far from "flat" on the power band. I have popped my throttle and almost threw myself off with the instant power. So more tame, a little, no power? Please stfu.
No matter how much they slate that Aprillia, the Aprillia would still be my first choice than the overpriced Ducati.
I'm sorry..but thats just me.
Road bike rsv hands down far better bike in every way.
I mean, ya know? I mean, ya know? I mean, ya know? I mean, ya know?
yea he fuckin DID!
@UberLifeTroll haha Rotax makes Aprilia engines- Ducati makes theyre own....
@Moroccan4lifeone Why would you feel the need to write that? Its a V-Twin comparison. If you look up R1 you will find people who actually care about what you have to say. Off you go then.
@BigJohnStrong Oh lol. Get a real motorcycle and then comment. Your bike has 1/20th the capacity and nowhere near the innovation and peripherals of the RSV1000R.
Also, two strokes don't pull at low revs period.
lol ive got a aprilia rsv1000r 07, and i think it has way enough power for me, got loads more power than a yamaha r6 and can hold on with a suzuki gsxr 750 , only if u have enough money u can buy the duc, in my opinion,
