Right from the introduction of the four-stroke era in the premier class back in 2002, top speeds have been increasing incrementally north of what the two-strokes could muster from their ferocious smaller capacity motors. Interestingly and matching Petrucci’s claims that his Pramac Ducati made 280bhp, to achieve the acceleration times in our graph, our virtual Ducati needed 285bhp. The chassis are designed by different companies but similar in design. Impressive. The F1 car can make high speed corner due to high downfroce & the tyres have more surface area and hence more grip, and F1 is 2.4litre and motoGp bike is .5litre. Let alone walking away from you like you have an anchor dragging in the dirt. I had 150 hp worth of angry explosions launching me forward at daft speeds, nothing could wiz past me…nothing! Which is: Getting inputs, thinking about the inputs and outputting a torque reduction request. Turning off the electronic assistance is not an option for MotoGP bikes, as their power is too much for even a world class rider to deftly control a launch without burning through a clutch in the process. It’s exciting that the bikes we can buy now from the dealership are faster than factory WSBK’s from 20 years ago, and nudging at the straight line performance of the two-stroke Grand Prix machines from the same era. The slowest bike at Mugello this year hit 339 km/h, that is still some 20 km/h up on the fastest two-strokes!! Ever since the four-strokes replaced the two bangers MotoGP bikes have been rumoured to be making “More Than 250 hp”, it’s an unchanging claimed figure that has been put out numerous times by bike publications fed by MotoGP teams and insiders. The fastest lap by a MotoGP (Marc Marquez, 2018 MotoGP) is 2′ 03.658. High-res images of the gorgeous 2021 KTM RC16 + Video, Android Auto now available on Africa Twin, Suzuki rewards early Hayabusa pre-orders with $1000 in bonuses, Marc Marquez undergoes scans that confirm good progress, Benavides retains Dakar lead in penultimate stage | Daniel Sanders fourth, Flashback Friday | Shawn Giles announced his retirement in 2011, 2020 North Brisbane Cup category winners declared. Remember… thing is, I was not alone, there was a fella on a newerer and shinierer piece of metal and plastic, and he had more power horses than me, probably 30 odd more at the wheels. The Ducati needs only 4.33 seconds to accelerate from 200-300 km/h, while the BMW S1000RR takes a comparatively lethargic 11.99 seconds. For example, in the braking portion of Mugello's turn 1, Brembo recorded a case in which braking brought a bike from 355 km/h to 90 km/h in only 5.2 seconds, and in less than 300 m! While the BMW S1000RR has its own electronics, such as traction and wheelie control and complimented with slightly different mapping for each gear, its systems, while advanced, are several generations behind, and less effective at, converting energy into forward motion compared to a fully fledged MotoGP bike. It’s a devastating display of straight line acceleration from Ducati’s MotoGP machine. Originally from London, UK. Evident on the acceleration graph are slight dips for the gear changes as we could not fully simulate a seamless gearbox, so expect gear changes to be a little quicker in real life, and thus saving a little more time in the process. Eddie Lawson gave Cagiva its debut victory on a drying track in the 1991 Hungarian Grand Prix.Lawson left Cagiva before he retired from racing, but other stars were drawn to the Italian team: Randy Mamola, Mat Mladin and Doug Chandler also rode the bike at one stage or another in their careers. Ducati Streetfighter V4 Brings MotoGP Tech to the Road. The Ducati MotoGP bike only needs 465 metres to reach 300 km/h while the S1000RR needs 1104 metres. Aprilia est le seul des six constructeurs engagés en MotoGP à bénéficier encore des points de concession du règlement, ce qui veut dire qu’il peut tester plus, et avec ses pilotes titulaires. "Normally what all the manufacturers do is they develop a sort of interface tool - in-between their calculations and the calibration tool we give - which is easier for them to use and generate a calibration in the software language," Cecchinelli explained. MCNews covers all areas of interest for the motorcycling public including news, reviews and comprehensive racing coverage. For the specific case of improving straight-line acceleration: "The strategies that would normally operate are basically just traction control and wheelie control. Aleix Espargaro remains convinced the 2020 Aprilia RS-GP is a 'very good' bike, comparable with the Suzuki and KTM at Misano this weekend, but with one big exception; the acceleration of the engine. As MotoGP™ teams and riders prepare for three weeks of racing, so do Michelin and they start at Motegi for the Motul Grand Prix of Japan. The domination of the MotoGP bike is convincing throughout, though the chasing BMW rider will still have it within sight up until around 200 km/h, where the Desmo is around 50 metres in front, and already accelerating through 240 km/h. Dani Pedrosa actually broke the Ducati top speed stranglehold in the 800 cc era after the diminutive Spaniard clocked 349.3 km/h at Mugello in 2009, setting a new outright speed record at the time. 'It's a game of being on the right side of the limit, but as close as possible' - MotoGP Director Of Technology Corrado Cecchinelli. MotoGP Bike Acceleration Analysis MotoGP 0-300 km/h in 9.72! Teams are called differently like the Yamaha having the Tech 3 team on Moto 2.As all the engines in Moto 2 are the same, suspension becomes a break point factor in combination for greater horse power. So there is only about 850 metres of useful tarmac, give or take, to go from the last corner (Bucine), where GP bikes apex at 100 km/h, before cracking 350 km/h in well under a kilometre. Given the crucial role of ECU calibration, how do manufacturers come up with the right numbers? The H2R needs around 16.65 seconds to hit 320 km/h from rest while the the Ducati clocks the same 320 km/h in under 11 seconds. Even Kawasaki’s ballistic Supercharged H2R is not a match for the Desmosedici GP18. It’s hard to comprehend something being more accelerative than one of those ballistic and evocative smelling machines – but today’s machines are 38 km/h quicker, a figure that is pretty mesmerising. MotoE, officially the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, is a class of motorcycle racing that uses only electric motorcycles.The series is sanctioned by the FIM and the inaugural season in 2019 was due to support MotoGP at five of the European circuits. There are no actual claimed acceleration numbers for MotoGP bikes, nor has anyone recently tested one at the strip and told the tale. Liquid-cooled, 90° V4, four-stroke, evo desmodromic DOHC, four valves per cylinder, Ducati Seamless Transmission (DST_EVO). "La RS-GP 2021 m'attend à Jerez et il y a pas mal de mises à jour, donc j'ai hâte de tester la moto. Horse Power affects the suspensio… MotoGP bike vs Kawsaki H2R. Moto GP teams like Honda and Yamaha usually have a presence in Moto 2. Since MotoGP winter testing, Valentino Rossi has repeatedly emphasised the need for Yamaha to improve acceleration via the electronics. Like F1, MotoGP machinery can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in around 2.6 seconds but it takes the bikes quite a bit longer to reach 300 km/h - … You can feel that is it too restrictive and you would be better without it, if you are an above-average driver. MotoGP is significantly faster than the Moto2 and Moto3 classes that have top speeds exceeding 295km/h and 245km/h respectively. MotoGP 20 is here and it's one of the most challenging racing games on the market. "It's a game of being on the right side of the limit, but as close as possible.". A recent MotoGP video I watched showed some of the differences between Moto3, Moto2, and MotoGP bikes. The fastest of the 800 cc bikes were said to be making their peak power around 20,000 rpm. There is even a YouTube video or two showing Dovi Acccelerate from 0 to 300 km/h, and 300-350, and its kindly been timed. To speed up the number crunching, especially if changes are needed at the track itself, manufacturers develop a simplified 'interface tool' which can tweak lots of related numbers at once. In recent years, aerodynamic ‘winglets’ have played an increasingly important role in MotoGP and are … The above is an interesting comparison, and while the data I have presented is very likely not 100% accurate, what we can learn from it will provide an accurate enough illustration of the performance of a current MotoGP machine and how a current Alpha road bike such as an S1000RR might compare. In practice the gluey stickiness of modern tyres allows more than 1G grip, even with no Aero. Despite my enthusiasm, I was clearly holding this local chap up, and he was evidently late for his Arvo sonnellino pomeridiano as he was right up my exhaust. The difference is in aero. Since MotoGP winter testing, Valentino Rossi has repeatedly emphasised the need for Yamaha to improve acceleration via the electronics. As speeds at some of the faster tracks, such as Catalunya and Mugello, got north of 330 km/h, Dorna became concerned and recognised that these speeds could present an  unnecessary safety risk in a sport that was already dangerous enough. MCNEWS.COM.AU is a specialist on-line resource that provides motorcycle news for motorcyclists. Faultless clutch-less gear changes ensued one by one until I was in top, chin on the tank while I IOMTT’d it up in Regione Di Lombardia. It’s no surprise that the Desmocedici GP18 takes the lead after 30 km/h and clears off from that point forward. Uncensored full-throttle only likely occurs above 250 km/h, and this is why you witness such impressive high speed acceleration for the Desmosedici. Even by today’s standards the 2008 kawaski ZX-10R is still extremely fast and was, at the time, the fastest accelerating litre class motorcycle until the BMW S1000RR came along and spoiled its party. Even with very advanced electronics it’s still not entirely possible to put all of the Desmo’s power to the ground below 250 km/h, that would require the bike to be stretched and lowered with a wheelie bar. If the Desmo’s frontal area and coefficient drag has been calculated correctly, with long enough gearing and an equally long straight, the Desmo could be good for close to 380 km/h. Il y a un moteur différent, un châssis différent, un bras oscillant différent. Andrea Dovizioso recently set a new MotoGP maximum speed record at Mugello when he clocked an eye watering 356.5 km/h during the race on the Factory Ducati. The Italian, who was Vice Director General of Ducati Corse from 2006 to 2010 before accepting his current role, told Crash.net: "The so-called 'chassis control strategies' - traction control, wheelie control - all share the same functioning mode. We’ll just need to sprinkle the former with a little science – by putting some numbers through the MCNews.com.au Supercomputer and hopefully, it’ll vomit out some realistic numbers which we’ll plot against an Alpha road bike for some interesting comparison. For the 2007 season Dorna slowed the bikes down by introducing new regulations that saw engines shrunk from 990 cc to 800 cc. The H2R need 935 metres to hit 320 km/h while the Ducati almost cuts the distance in half, requiring only 560 metres. In Moto 2 all bikes use Honda 600 engines and Dunlop tires. Chain final drive, Indirect electronic injection, four throttle bodies with injectors above and below the butterfly valves. With 250 hp plus and no electronics, it would go one of three ways, spin, loop or acceleration killing modulation of the throttle. The BMW S1000RR is arguably the fastest accelerating production litre bike to date but how does it stack up against the fastest MotoGP Bike? While the BMW S1000RR has its own electronics, such as traction and wheelie control and complimented with slightly different mapping for each gear, its systems, while advanced, are several generations behind, and less effective at. Just recently though Danilo Petrucci mentioned that his Pramac Ducati is making 280 hp! Where the S1000RR completes the quarter mile in just under ten seconds at a terminal velocity of around 250 km/h, the Ducati has increased its velocity advantage by an additional 20 km/h, stretching the advantage to almost 60 km/h as it approaches 310 km/h.
