Which is fastest – the Ducati Desmosedici RR or the Ferrari 430 Scuderia? Car fans will argue a supercar can out-brake and out-corner a bike, but we’ll point out that a bike’s power-to-weight ratio is much better, so in a straight race the car will never even get close enough to the bike to use its ‘magic’ powers. To prove two wheels are better than four forever, were pitching arguably the best road bike in the world against one of the best road cars, in perfect conditions at the Almeria circuit in Spain. Watch the video to see the result. You can read the full report in this week’s MCN, on sale Wednesday November 11.

only ereason the car was sooo slow is cus the guy driving it wasnt even pussing it. driving it like a fagg. so. stick the stog in it and i rekon it would have nocked 10 secs easy off da lap
March 30th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
i hope they didnt count that one lap as the challenge. they need to compare lap times… obviously the driver in the 430 cant run the ducatti over so compare laps

March 30th, 2010 at 1:30 pm

March 30th, 2010 at 1:38 pm

gime a brake oh man you have the most war machines ever built you luky bastard money in the power …..
March 30th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
these car vs bike things never make much sense to me
the other one i saw was even worse a bone stock MV agusta vs a ground-up ferrari race car.. you might as well race a stock corvette vs a motogp bike
cars are fast
bikes are much faster
the cross between the two, open-wheel racers (indy/formula cars) are the fastest
March 30th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
it would have been true that european bikes were a waste of money a few years ago, but now they barely cost more than japanese bikes
and imo sorry cbrs cant touch stuff like the rsv4, s1000rr, 675 daytona, 1198 all of which are just a couple grand extra
March 30th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
this is shit
March 30th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
I ride a Ducati. I’ve loved motorbikes since I was 16. But the car wasn’t being raced. He was just driving around leisurely!
March 30th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
nah but u r poor so yeah
March 30th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
I know.. but that would be a good race thou
March 30th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
theres some fuckin dumbasses on utube. i ride, luv it more than my car. but 14 seconds faster, fuck off. either way there wouldnt be much in it, the bike would get it on most tracks but a slow track the car would win. this bike is a waste of money, get a cbr600rr and an evo spend a few grand on it and u gonna have just as much fun at the track
March 30th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
@vetteburna Dude Rossi doesn’t drive ducati it’s stoner who drives the desmocedici RR
