i have a zx10r 2014 and a cbr 600 f3 1998 im super happy whit my zx10r its my dream bike since i can remember so i already have the bike i always wanted (🥰KW NINJA ZX10R😍), but of course whit money would come more dreams, i would love to have a h2 and gpz 900 and mv agusta f4rr and ducati desmosedici rr and r1m and fireblade 900,etc 😁thnk you for the videos love from portugal
Love the approach here. Took my V4S out for a Sunday ride today and fully admit I have it merely because it's beautiful and it makes me feel great. Pointless. But my pride and joy.
Feel exactly the same way about my 1199S. My Hayabusa was way more comfortable to ride… I hate to say it… But my bike is basically just a trophy that everyone takes photos of while I’m riding down the street lol
Never thought I would own a bike like one of these but I finally bit the bullet and ordered a 2022 Panigale V4s thanks to your reviews. I drive a 4 thousand dollar car, but I did it so I could afford a toy like this. You only live once, may as well enjoy it!
For an “irrelevant” review, I found this video to be exactly spot on (and timely: I’m about to head off, on an ADV bike, to travel to my favorite two-day track school). I copied your 2019 video about touring on a V4S, riding one on a 3,600 mile journey, and had an absolute blast. I’ve had extensive experience with many variants of both the S1000rr and 1299/V4 bikes, on and off track, and found your assessment of their respective characteristics to be spot on. I’m fortunate to live near some wonderful mountain roads, which make the Ducati and BMW sport bikes really come alive. Thanks for the beautifully filmed and very inspirational video! I look forward to your 2032 irrelevant video on high performance sport bikes!
Neevesey and the MCN Team have always done a fabulous job covering these shootouts throughout the years, detailed, on-point, and precise. Much like the beasts that they had to enjoy and comment about. Astounding!
Awesome video guys! Having owned the Panigale SP and the M1000RR I'd say your review is bang on. I'd still take the Ducati just based on looks alone :)
@@TheDucatiPilot the 21-22 V4 Panigale are far better than what the Speciale was. They really made some strong improvements...I also owned a Speciale and got to test a 22 on track...night and day difference!
BEST motorcycle media/journalist/test rider/team in THE WORLD! Been waiting for the Superbike of 2022 for quite some time. Those outro pictures are legit guys. "Working with professionals" is exactly like this!🔥
You guys are leaps and bounds ahead of other bike reviewers. The approach Neevesy and team took with this shootout just shows your level of experience and thoughtfulness. Awesome content. Please keep raising the bar.
Even better than usual bike commentary from Neeves. Highlights were the bike exhaust sound comparison - this should be in every video! Price-wise, they're all reaching, but you still probably can't get a Honda Civic for the same price...
What makes me love these bikes and their lesser variants is that all the good bits, the tech, the smart solutions, weight savings, they trickle down to the next generation lower models, which then trickle down to the next generation adventure tourers, until you start getting bikes like the S1000XR and the Multistrada V4 or the KTM 1290 SD GT, all amazingly capable bikes with all the relevant componentry from their superbike siblings like the high end monstrous brakes, electronic suspension and all those super high end rider aids.
This is a beautifully edited video and it’s so noticeable. Top work and always keep these coming. This has to be one of my favourite videos you’ve done despite never owning a superbike
I apologize, I've been watching for years and have never subscribed but you've become just too good to not reward. Thanks for what you're doing from America!
Love the entire delivery of this shootout and category placement. Now, this is the creame de la creame of the biking world. U can’t go wrong going for any of these guys… but… u already heard the but in the video. Many thanks for this once again.
I have a m1000rr with BMW rearsets fits me perfectly ,I have just returned from the Isle of man and seen Hicky ride one if only I was half as good but I love the build quality and looks ,great video as usual mr Neeves.
I just wrapped a video of a 7 bike Superbike shootout from 1972. Yeah that means a Kawasaki 750 H2, Suzuki GT 750, Yamaha TX 750, Honda CB 750, Harley 1000 Sportster, Norton 750 Commando, and 750 Triumph Trident. Basically a review from Cycle Guide's November 1972 figures. Nowadays the 1972 bikes wouldn't be considered super probably not even good but you could ride them on the street.
I love how you’re “in the moment” and humbled by realizing where you are and what you’re doing…good for you!! I’m happy for you! I am blessed to get my dream bike a couple months ago, the 2022 Panigale V4S…amazing beast! Great video!
Great video & an interesting approach to keeping it relevant. I don't really want, & to be absolutely clear, can't afford any of these bikes. However I'll always watch these shootouts as frankly they're just cool & the bikes are something special. They're the pinnacle of what can be achieved on two wheels for the road & that's something to be celebrated regardless of the practicalities. I suspect most bikers would still have one in their dream garage even it was just to look at & these beauties may not be with us for too much longer.
Very nice and honest review, I liked it. I want to make a point that RSV4 is the only bike there without carbon wheels, I think if RSV4 had carbon wheels, as the others do, then the verdict might have been different. But that is something for Aprilia to act on. On the otherhand, as you mentioned, we buy those bikes to feel special. Carbon wheels aside, it doesn’t have any carbon bits or blings at all, as the factory version used to had carbon all over the bike. Aprilia can you hear us; as a 4 time RSV4 owner (including ‘21) I can honestly say you need to make those bikes special again. As they are right now, Factory versions doesn’t feel so different than any regular bike. Bring the carbon back please :)
First off, I love how far this channel has come always great insight. To me the V4 SP is top, Aprilia, then BMW (only because that bike is meant to be set up from race teams).
I’ve got a 2020 Aprilia RSV4 factory, added 11k miles in the last 11 months with not a single mechanical or electronic issue. Nothing sounds like a V4 engine! 6’4’’ so I’m nice and tucked in(little cramped). She growls, grunts and shakes, all to the full enjoyment of its riders. Aggressive geometry, though comfortable even at my height. I just bought a 2022 BMW S1000RR after weighing out both the M1000RR and the V4 SP2. The M1000RR at that price point without electronic suspension?! STILL needs a tune?! Makes no sense. 6-10K in additional accessories needed to make it a super track bike, I couldn’t make sense of it. 45K+ in other words. And it doesn’t even break 220HP! HP is actually equal to the S1000RR. Had they not added the Brembos to the M, that price point would’ve been even more ridiculous! The V4 SP2 just isn’t available anywhere. What listings you find start at 45k base price. I couldn’t reason with that investment over a 22k V4S or even a 38k V4R. Plus it’s hot as hell in Houston, so Ducati’s are already non-groin friendly. Add the dry clutch wear and servicing requirement, and it makes for a high $$$ investment up front, and for the long haul with servicing costs. Thus, I bought a brand new 2022 S1000RR for 19k with full Akro. Adding 3k forged wheels and doing a 1k Brentune Stage 2. Nothing else needed. 4K added to 19k initial investment, and I’ll have a faster bike than the base/fully stock M1000RR, for 15k less!
Gone are the days of the 1000cc shootouts. This new generation of super bikes are so good that it’s merely about picking the one that appeals to you the most and enjoying it.
For me it will be a dream to own the cream of the crop some day. I will approach it with an open mind to the fact that there will be a significant trade off for comfort. They really are a Sunday morning bike if not the track too. But a bike that should be owned by those that are looking to use it properly.
Love the new video format! Now do one for all the more affordable superbikes. Base RSV, Pani, S1KRR, R1, CBR, GSXR, ZX10. Then us mere mortals can have a better understanding of bikes we can afford.
The "bling" around his neck at 20:57 had me literally laughing out loud. I had a Tuono V4 until recently and could never get enough of that exhaust note. I'm sure I'll have another in the future!! I test rode the Ducati but just couldn't get over how much heat it threw on the lower body. No way I could ride it anywhere other than the track.
@@Doing_The_Thing I keep toying with a naked MT-10 superduke or tuono but cant give up the superbikes yet even though they are seriously uncomfortable Haha.
Own a '16 Factory Tuono. Ridden R6 and S1000RR. For a road bike that's not even close. Tuono wins all day every day. But if you want to track it then I guess it depends how much you want to spend on tires, fuel, parts etc.
Excellent quality video folks! Obviously there has been a big push towards the likes of 44 Teeth in recent years but you when you see a professional production that's clearly had some decent money thrown at it (and talent at behind the scenes), there's no comparison really. And I say that as a small time You Tuber lol. Anyway it's gotta be the Duke for me!
I will never buy one of these, ever (said the the R1250GS rider - and occasional Harley owner..). But, what a stunning review. Beautifully filmed, edited, narrated and produced. Told me everything I needed to know if a wonderfully informative manner. I read the review on Thursday in MCN and this is a great adjunct to it. Oh for a time machine when you do this level review for, let’s say, 1977. So my old SUZUKI GS750 against the KAWASAKI Z650 where my buying decsion was solely down to the bike road test where the 750 made 125mph against the 650’s 121mph. Very important to that 17 year old! And the final icing was when the salesman balanced a 50p piece on its edge on the tank of the Suzuki and it never moved when he started it and revved it up. A pointless showing, but certainly turned my head. Great show guys 👍🏻👍🏻
As always, I enjoyed your most sensible review done in such a humble way! Also very professionally presented (meaning no "dirty" words). I hear what you say about these bikes but I'd like to bring in depreciation over time too... what will each be worth, say in two year's time? My guess is that the Ducati may do good in this regards because it is so expensive, less will be available... and much more Aprilias, making them even more of a bargain - I guess (OMHO). Regards!
@@kp4918 You're dead on This fella is a class act. Neevsey is one of only a handful that I have kept subscribed to. None of the US journalist and bloggers come close. If they do a decent job of reviewing bikes then their vile language or advertising for ball sack shavers and pubic soap has me dropping them. Though they may not understand it, many of us still have higher standards and nobility.
Thank you for making this video I’ve been trying to find a reliable video on the new Aprilia VS other competitive brands ,trying to get the best bang for my buck 🤣
The biggest take away after riding the last gen Aprilia Factory was how much of a waste such performance would be tooling around on the street. I thought it was that good! I thought the performance was a waste on the bikes of the mid 2000s but today's machines are on a whole different level! I'd be pretty frustrated if I had to ride one of these on the street! It's like taking a Ferrari to a go kart track. These bikes are begging to be ridden at the limit!
After a break from riding of around 25 years I decided to ease myself back into it, but I saw the SP2 and fell in love with it, so I got it. It's surprisingly easy to ride, easy to turn and gorgeous to look at (although they were a bit tight with the amount of carbon for the money). The sound is fantastic even with the stock exhaust. It was always a dream to own a Ducati from the moment the 916 came out and when I first saw a Foggy replica in Paul Smart's showroom. I will be taking it to the track in due course as there's no way to really explore the bike on the road - even in Street mode it's ridiculously quick. They don't make it easy to drop the levers down to a better place for ergonomics as they put a pin in there, maybe to make it easier to consistently put it together in the factory or (and) to prevent the lever from slipping? Annoying, but that's pretty much my only criticism so far.
That's awesome man, how did it feel jumping back on something like that after 25 years because initially you wanted to ease into it, but the SP2 is a top performer in its class
@@thedragonofechigo7878 It’s made me wonder why I went so long without a bike in my life. Honestly, it was astonishingly easy to ride. It feels like a much smaller bike, changes direction easily and I’m sure the electronics help enormously but it’s not intimidating. Litre bikes when I was young were much harder to ride if I remember correctly, despite having far less power. Having said that, opening the throttle wide open for a couple of seconds bends my mind. I’m currently prepping it to go on track with it this year. It’s far too quick for the road! 🙈😂
Great review as always! In my country, the Netherlands, you wouldn’t dare call yourself “a tall person” though. On our side of the sea, 6’2” is quite tall, no more, and 6’6” (2 meters) is what we call tall. Must be the Vikings that raided our country a long time ago!
Great review neevsie although could out ride 99% of us mere mortals still reviews bikes for the masses and understands Joe bloggs needs and riding styles etc 👍👍
Neevesey, you play your ability down way too much. You are seriously fast and far far beyond 99% of your watchers will ever be. Great review ! It’s about time you went on Chrissy & Dom’s pod isn’t it? 😁👍🏻

Yeap, you only live once so why not enjoy it at any opportunity you can.
Enjoy the V4S and be safe.

Finally the Superbike Shootout I was waiting for.
What makes me love these bikes and their lesser variants is that all the good bits, the tech, the smart solutions, weight savings, they trickle down to the next generation lower models, which then trickle down to the next generation adventure tourers, until you start getting bikes like the S1000XR and the Multistrada V4 or the KTM 1290 SD GT, all amazingly capable bikes with all the relevant componentry from their superbike siblings like the high end monstrous brakes, electronic suspension and all those super high end rider aids.

I will never buy one of these, ever (said the the R1250GS rider - and occasional Harley owner..).
But, what a stunning review. Beautifully filmed, edited, narrated and produced. Told me everything I needed to know if a wonderfully informative manner. I read the review on Thursday in MCN and this is a great adjunct to it.
Oh for a time machine when you do this level review for, let’s say, 1977. So my old SUZUKI GS750 against the KAWASAKI Z650 where my buying decsion was solely down to the bike road test where the 750 made 125mph against the 650’s 121mph. Very important to that 17 year old! And the final icing was when the salesman balanced a 50p piece on its edge on the tank of the Suzuki and it never moved when he started it and revved it up. A pointless showing, but certainly turned my head.
Great show guys 👍🏻👍🏻
As always, I enjoyed your most sensible review done in such a humble way! Also very professionally presented (meaning no "dirty" words). I hear what you say about these bikes but I'd like to bring in depreciation over time too... what will each be worth, say in two year's time? My guess is that the Ducati may do good in this regards because it is so expensive, less will be available... and much more Aprilias, making them even more of a bargain - I guess (OMHO). Regards!
I agree. MCN seems to be the most professional in our community. I highly respect and value that.
@@kp4918 You're dead on
This fella is a class act. Neevsey is one of only a handful that I have kept subscribed to.
None of the US journalist and bloggers come close. If they do a decent job of reviewing bikes then their vile language or advertising for ball sack shavers and pubic soap has me dropping them.
Though they may not understand it, many of us still have higher standards and nobility.
Thank you for making this video I’ve been trying to find a reliable video on the new Aprilia VS other competitive brands ,trying to get the best bang for my buck 🤣
The V4S is a beautiful bike but I just think the M1000RR would have to be the one I’d buy
Awesome! Kia ora from New Zealand. Epic review. Crazy bits of kit. I'd love one just for a day, I'll take the Duc please!
The biggest take away after riding the last gen Aprilia Factory was how much of a waste such performance would be tooling around on the street. I thought it was that good! I thought the performance was a waste on the bikes of the mid 2000s but today's machines are on a whole different level! I'd be pretty frustrated if I had to ride one of these on the street! It's like taking a Ferrari to a go kart track. These bikes are begging to be ridden at the limit!
Great videooo, I was waiting for that
Great to add subs, good job 🔥🔥
To me nothing says sportbike more than the i4 soundtrack. 🏍😃
MCN nailed this one in Scilly! Love this place! Can't afford these bikes 🤣 very happy with my Gixxer 2019
See our 2022 superbike round-up to see where each of the bikes fit in -> ruclips.net/video/4SyOVf409LY/видео.html
The best motorbike reviewer, IMHO!
Just awesome no words 😀🔥
Worth the wait
Epic review!!!
After a break from riding of around 25 years I decided to ease myself back into it, but I saw the SP2 and fell in love with it, so I got it. It's surprisingly easy to ride, easy to turn and gorgeous to look at (although they were a bit tight with the amount of carbon for the money). The sound is fantastic even with the stock exhaust. It was always a dream to own a Ducati from the moment the 916 came out and when I first saw a Foggy replica in Paul Smart's showroom. I will be taking it to the track in due course as there's no way to really explore the bike on the road - even in Street mode it's ridiculously quick. They don't make it easy to drop the levers down to a better place for ergonomics as they put a pin in there, maybe to make it easier to consistently put it together in the factory or (and) to prevent the lever from slipping? Annoying, but that's pretty much my only criticism so far.
That's awesome man, how did it feel jumping back on something like that after 25 years because initially you wanted to ease into it, but the SP2 is a top performer in its class
@@thedragonofechigo7878 It’s made me wonder why I went so long without a bike in my life. Honestly, it was astonishingly easy to ride. It feels like a much smaller bike, changes direction easily and I’m sure the electronics help enormously but it’s not intimidating. Litre bikes when I was young were much harder to ride if I remember correctly, despite having far less power. Having said that, opening the throttle wide open for a couple of seconds bends my mind. I’m currently prepping it to go on track with it this year. It’s far too quick for the road! 🙈😂
Michael, you're way too classy for the rest of us. Another fantastic review. Thank you.
Love the leathers with the smiley face on the knee pads
Love the intro! Nicely edited
Great review as always! In my country, the Netherlands, you wouldn’t dare call yourself “a tall person” though. On our side of the sea, 6’2” is quite tall, no more, and 6’6” (2 meters) is what we call tall. Must be the Vikings that raided our country a long time ago!
Great review neevsie although could out ride 99% of us mere mortals still reviews bikes for the masses and understands Joe bloggs needs and riding styles etc 👍👍
Really enjoyed this review Micheal. I know which bike I prefer and I totally agree with you.The Ducati is stunning.
Neevesey, you play your ability down way too much. You are seriously fast and far far beyond 99% of your watchers will ever be. Great review ! It’s about time you went on Chrissy & Dom’s pod isn’t it? 😁👍🏻
Great work for all of these years Mike!!!
