Question

all right well me and my friend were arguing over bmw and ducati i think bmw superbikes go faster then ducati but he thinks ducati are top of the line and go faster but i was wondering which goes faster and which is better overall like on turns and stuff which one would u get if you could get 1 for free. also just wondering r bmw moutain bikes any good (just found out they made them today lol)

Answer 1

I have both, and they are both better bikes than I am a rider.

Answer 2

sorry, i'm on his side, i say the ducati

Answer 3

Ducati is currently leading the points for the championship, and it looks like they will win (again).  BMW bikes are fine, expensive machines, but the German have never made a motorcycle that can do what a ducati does.

They will run forever with heavy doses of maintenance.  But fast? Not so much.

If BMW decides to get into world superbike championship races, with a factory sponsored team, they will have a steep learning curve, it may take them years to get a competitive team together.

Answer 4

I only have numbers from 05 and earlier.  They both have bikes with top speed of 172.  Ducati has a couple bikes with slightly faster 1/4 mile times than the BMWs.

Answer 5

ducati and bmw are great but when it comes to bikes ducati is a winner bmw needs to stick to their cars which are very nice.

Answer 6

absolutely the ducati. sorry man but the ducati is the closest thing youll ever get to a real racing bike. the new one red lines at 15k rpm

Answer 7

I would take the BMW over the Duc any day of the week! Why? Shaft drive and a more comfortable bike than the Duc.

Comparable 1/4 mi times for bikes. At the track, it would depend on the rider, both bikes are very capable machines.
