Who here is a professional racer? For real professional not poseur professional.

Also, you can turn them up, down, off, on and sideways if you want.

And for those that don’t want all the bells and whistles of the S get a base. Problem solved. If you don’t like the wings, take them off. If you don’t like the suspension and are a squid with too much money and not enough brains, buy a ton of bling bling parts that you don’t need because money fixes ...... riding!!!! Ameriiiiiiiicaaaaaaaa!!!!

Decent times out of the box.

I was there a day before. Mikhalchik did 1.45 on a stock BMW S1000RR.

So can't say I'm too impressed with 1.1l new Ducati toy

1.45 to 1.1 isn't impressive? A professional rider dropping that much is huge.
 
Sounds like Mikhalchik did a 1m45s lap of Jerries on a stock 1.0 liter S1000rr so Pani isn’t impressed.

I think what he’s getting at is that with the new new it laps as fast as an older bike.

That being said a full-fat Perdercini Kwak Soooperbiiiike can only make a 1m43s around Hereth.

For reference, Rea lapped Herrezz at 1m39s as his fastest lap.
 
IDK, unless they are back to back runs under the same conditions and even then averaged out over a few passes...I wouldn't get hung up on those results.

If he's trying to dry ire to one being 1.0L and the other being 1.1L, then that some lowering strap one front caliper highway pull d-baggary I can't get behind.

Fagan said he thought the Aprilia and BMW would be faster... not sure I care

didn't care when the 2005 K5 was "faster" either

Statham excreted some Fanny batter in that test. He even said it’s the super bike of the moment.

Correct

I was there with Redding in Dec 2019 where he did 1.45s on his practice 2019 V4S. In fact he even posted that lap on Instagram

Kinda expected more from 2022 model
 
Yes! This is so out of context.

Different rider, conditions, possibly different tires.

Even if none of these variables existed, how much of an improvement did you expect?

As mentioned by Ducati, Pirro improved his lap by 0.5 seconds compared to the ‘21 bike. That’s reasonable.

Stock bike evens out the game.

No one is going to bother to do head to head comparison.

Lol… tests done 2 years apart in different conditions with different riders evens out what game?

A comparison has already been done by Pirro, again in different conditions.

Same conditions actually

Still means nothing.

Discrepancy in lap times between riders in wsbk can be as much as 2 or more seconds throughout a weekend. Furthermore, you can’t compare lap times set by salvadori (a sstk rider with 1 win in his career) to Redding who’s a wsbk title contender.

In fact… this info makes the ‘22 bike even more impressive to me.
