Ducati Superbike Rider Street Races And Beats Porsche: Gets Busted By Cop [Video]

If you drive a fast sports car or supercar, you’d see bikers trying to catch up or tailgate you. It is not every day that a Porsche gets tailgated by a Ducati that would eventually beat the sports car hands down. One such incident happened in Tamil Nadu recently and there’s more to talk about it. A video shared by the rider on Instagram shows him beating a speeding Porsche Panamera on a highway and then getting busted by cops! There are more layers to this video than what you can probably see…

The motorcycle in question is a Ducati Streetfighter V4. It could be considered the naked twin of the famed Panigale V4. Take a Panigale, strip the fairing and minus the committed riding position, and you almost get this motorcycle. This street-naked has a mighty 1103cc, V4 engine as its power plant, which makes 205bhp and 123Nm. There are riding modes which alter the engine output considerably with selection.

There are two variants available- Standard and the S. The latter gets Ohlins electronic suspension and lighter wheels and is notably faster. It is unclear which variant is being featured in the video.

The video seems to be from the East Coast road (ECR) in Tamil Nadu. This highway is known for its good build and scenic views. People usually speed on its stretches. This video is from the POV of the Ducati rider. He spots a speeding Porsche (assuming it to be a Panamera) and decides to do a street race with it. The Porsche is driving on the fast lane, but not too aggressively. The Ducati rider ducks in and twists his throttle hard. In no time, he overtakes the Porsche and beats it hand down. His excitement can be seen in the video.

The story doesn’t end there. He is soon stopped by the cops for overspeeding. The Porsche now passes by without any trouble. Further, the rider engages in some indistinct conversations with the cops, pays the fine and starts speeding again. The final few seconds of the video show him being stopped by another cop in a different section of the road.

Now, this video could interest you. It would feel nice to watch the speed and the adrenaline. It would also feel good to see the act of overspeeding getting fined. In a different angle, it also suggests that we can break rules if we can afford to break them! The rider overspeeds, pays the fine, and speeds again! He has written in the caption ‘ PS : Obey traffic rules.. save money ‘- which further hints at the same!

Now, instances such as these aren’t rare on the ECR. It is almost everyday that you spot superbikes and speeding bikes. But this case stands special due to the vehicles involved, how things unfolded and how the rider chose to share the video on Instagram.

The reel has been garnering diverse comments and opinions from netizens. One comment reads ‘Like this guy! Had fun, paid his fine and did not crib about it! Started to have fun again and still ok to pay up again… knows the cause and reaction!‘ Multiple other comments say that this feels like a road safety advertisement or a commercial for the cops- which in a way, sounds legit.
