    One comparison you can't look past... 400k car vs 30k bike.

    He says that the Ducati's power-to-weight ratio is "an order of magnitude higher" than the Ferrari!

    What he means is double. For the Ducati to have a ptw ratio an order of magnitude higher, it would have to be 745 horsepower....

    Awesomely made video clip, I wasn't expecting that result around the track as I have seen other comparisons, a new Nissan GTR vs a 1198 and the GTR won by about 2seconds.

    I guess the tighter the track the bigger advantage the car will have. Nice seeing bike win though, I have had this argument plenty of times!!

    Good video, the Ferarri is a fantastic car. I guess the difference is a muppet can look good in the Ferarri but a muppet on the Duke is gonna go for a slide Still as long as you can walk away from it $ for $ you'll have plenty of cash left to buy another one, and another one, and......

    The Ducati isn't prone to random engine fires either.

    The track must not have had many corners in it for the Ducati to have won the circuit race.

    They missed part 2, where they swapped engines.

    Ferrari boast that with the advanced traction control systems on the Italia they can teach any muppet to get within 1sec a lap of the time their F1 test driver around Fiorano in the same car.

    As for Ducati....
