goodbye Mr Motorbike... haha..

nice video, wasn't a surprising result, 4 contact points vs 1 is the main point

power - weight ratio is the fun part that triggers the SR's and immasculates some

The Ducati is not a unicycle, thank you very much.

Yes, i'm being picky - sue me!


I don't understand why these types of competitions keep popping up, but it sure is fun to observe the differences. Always makes me wanna ride and right now, knowing it's January ..... that hurts!

Maybe he was referring to braking. The commentator was stating that the car was winning because of the braking, not cornering or accelerating.

I love how the ducati didn't even break a sweat! The engine wasn't screaming like an i4. The engine seemed so quiet.

Ducs are very quiet bikes... especially when they have Termi exhausts.

The 1098s would have be faster if it was red.

Cool vid.

Nah,,, red is for show. Everyone knows that red paint is heavier than black paint, thus black is way faster.

Actually white paint is faster than any other colour. Ever notice all of the factory hemi drag cars back in the late 60's early 70's were always white? Literally, you could save 18-20 lbs by painting the car plain white, as the pigments were much lighter in mass than any other colours

Sorry, but I will need some references for these 'facts.' People just make up stats to prove their point on the internet. 7.6 people out of 10 know this.
