Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono - Kiss Your License Goodbye!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.พ. 2024
- A new leader in the street-legal supermoto category? Ducati’s Hypermotard 698 Mono is not an entry-level addition to the Hypermotard family. Yes, it’s the smaller-displacement, less-expensive alternative to the Hypermotard 950 V-twin, but it’s also a wicked, eye-opening extension of the family. It’s Ducati’s new approach to the street-legal supermoto category, made possible through an extreme emphasis on light weight, performance, and tech.

I still think the Hypermotard 1100 was the best street-oriented Supermoto (ish) bike ever made. Could cruise at 85-90mph no problem, electric motor type torque, classic dry clutch sound, Old School Ducati Character.
it was more of a street bike tho .... too much power IMO
Without a doubt
All the commenters knocking Ducati "reliability" have never owned one. Yes, in the past they have had major reliability issues. Those days are long gone. Modern Ducati's are not quite as good as Japanese bikes as far as reliability, but definitely out perform them. They also are not nearly as bad as the internet experts that have never even had a ride on one would want you to believe. I own three Ducati's, 950, V4, and a hyper. All have been rock solid, not a single issue. Now parts and maintenance cost... thats a different story. I could by another bike for the cost of a V4 desmo service. Performance mods... unbelievably expensive. But that's the game us pretentious Ducati owners that just buy them for attention play. Yea they are not cheap to buy, or maintain. But who gives a F. You only live once.
All bikes are cool, I can appreciate a kawi 650 as much as I can a Panagele V4SP. We all have the same hobby, an MT07 is as good as a Streetfighter, just pick your flavor. There is always a plus and minus. But be real, if hate Ducati its because you can't afford one, and thats ok too. Ride a SFV4S and you will want one, I promise you. No real rider can get on a bike like that and decide it's not for them. You ride one, you will buy it, or atleast want to.
I repspect and like virtually all motorcycles and thier riders.
Unless you own a Harley then legit your opion on anything motorcycle related is irrelevant.... Brother.
Its a clown show for wanna be tough guys and old dudes that ride in white Reboks and a bandanna.
TBH... Indid just order a Mono RVE. The test ride got me hooked. I mean you can wack the throttle open and it holds a wheelie. You can stomp the rear and grab front brake and back it in a corner. If a guy can appreciate that and have fun doing it, do you even really like riding motorcycles?
Just my humble 2 cents from a Ducati fan boy with middle of the roads skills.
You don't buy a European bike for reliability... but having said that - modern Ducati's are reliable bikes. have 75,000 miles on my Multi with only routine maintenance. Would not hesitate to buy this bike.
Amen Brother, sharing the road is really becoming "SPORTY"😮
Thanks for this great review! I am seriously considering one for track fun, it really does look and go well for a single
Would like to see this tested on the road with road tyres. Loving it so far.
Too many electronics for me. Great video, thanks!
Great bike.. test rode one in real conditions and its a blast - still waiting in UK for our orders 😭
So they're not yet in UK???
@@verdeboyo drip feeding them in.. finally got mine
@@hypermotardking I have inmoto Ducati near me so I'm gonna pop in on Thursday when I get the Aprilia MOTd
Small dash is a feature not a bug.
Ive only ever ridden carbureted, non-electronic motorcycles..since the 1970s. I cannot imagine riding that thing and using those modes to do things I doubt i could do on my own. And at $13k, it is ridiculous but in-line with top of the line European dirt bikes. It’s pretty light, even with a split pipe, which seems too high and heavy to make sense, but otherwise seems awesome. However, since I never rode anything like it, I dont know how much the euro bikes suck in other ways. I turn mine on, can troubleshoot and fix it, and it responds the same way every time...as I expect. There’s comfort and frugality in that. But, yes, I would lose my license on that thing, and perhaps a layer or two of face skin at some point. Looks fun. Would make an awesome dual sport.
Ya won't lose yer license if ya don't stop !! If ya can't get away on one of these, yer doin something wrong !!
Can I throw on a 21" front wheel and 18" rear paddle and take it to the dunes?
If this did not have the avionics...the short wheelbase would make it wildly pitch happy! Like a buell....
701 every day ❤
Give me a GasGas 701.
Tubeless Cast wheels FTW.
Definitely a great option. I'm not complaining about having another offering in this space, though.
i want it :)
1:52 how the hell did the rider slide into the corner with his foot off the rear brake?😮
Excessive engine braking ? Too many down shifts ? MAGIC ?
You down shift a few gears quickly, the rear wheel kinda skips around a bit and you cover a little bit of the front brake as the bike is trying to drop rpm’s (it’s called “Backing it in”) all the pros do it lol
Downshift to the gear you want to exit in, unweight the rear with your upper body, adjust the rear wheel slide with the clutch and lift the rear wheel by using the front brake until you reach the apex then nail it and control the wheelspin with body position. Don't practice this on the street, a parking lot is better! Or (as I did on a dirt bike on forest roads).
@@jimtitt3571 it sounds like a form of art to master this. I’m not even going to try that. 😅
@@LammensB The street riders have problems learning it, I come from a dirt-bike so it's not so hard. The usual way to start is by spraying the back tire so it slides real easy, washing-up liquid and water works pretty well or silicone spray. I just started with an over-inflated enduro tyre on the back. Contolling the front tire grip under braking accurately is the trick.
Race this against the Stark Varg Alpha
"wet weight, no fuel" is the dumbest thing Ive read in a while
Don't think I heard the word "torque" once in this video.:(
Singles on the street suck after 45min. It will be fun on kart track but thats a waste, get a 450 proper sumo for cheap and track it. Get a hyper or upright naked bike maybe if you want motard style riding on street that you can ride all day.
Yer on the wrong road !! 45min, just warmed up !!
You know it@@practicalplinking6133
Its a super nice motard.. everything but the crazy price.. i mean 13 to 15000 dollars?? 3k to 5k more and you could get a panagali V2 and there is a lot more to that bike then this motard.. Ducati fleecing peeps lmao
Ducati needs to get some bicycle designers to work on that ridiculous looking cable/line arch. Reviewer mentions the dash as a bug but not that goofy looking arch?
Which is funny since they sell bicycles. That cable is obnoxious.
That's how dual sport's/motards route the front cable. My 701 is the same.
14 grand for a new rider 🤔
It's a Ducati, so "rich" rider is implied.
A new rider paying over $15/16 k after taxes and fees? BS!
Not to mention all of the upcoming issues and malfunctions of a new platform
@@eshdanBut you have insurrans and consumer guarantees/warranties,
Not everybody is poor as you...
@@mauriziozanni4161 I believe that you misunderstand, Mauricio. He said that this bike might be good for a NEW rider. Most new riders are young and cannot afford the price of this bike plus dealer charges, taxes and insurance. I am OLD and can afford it. I've been riding since 1964.
not everyone is a knt like you@@mauriziozanni4161
hou much 698?
Stark varg 80hp
701 .....
Europe has really been killing the game with the supermoto's.But the price and reliability is not there. Japan, take note and build a legit supermoto. we will buy it. Or at least update the drz.
Will this bike flop. Please start a conversation.
i think is copy off xtx660
more like dorsoduro 750
High on price low on reliability and fine if you want to pretend you are a racer. Not practical as an everyday rider for anyone.
I get it, some people hate anything with a Ducati label. Ok enjoy your preferred brands… there is no data on the reliability of this bike, so that’s fictional. Your racer comment, supermoto style bikes are fun. Lord forbid a man have fun on his motorcycle… that’s not allowed! if you are a person that wants to get into motorcycle racing. It’s Very expensive to do so and there are a lot of barriers to entry. Supermoto racing/track riding is a less expensive more accessible way to do that. I’ve been aspiring to this myself. In Oregon there are more “tracks” for supermoto style in the state with more frequent opportunity to ride and at literally more than half the cost. Supermoto is cool and good for the sport of motorcycling because it’s more accessible to normal people as a hobby. Granted the Ducati is not a true “supermoto” like a 450. This bike is more practical for everyday use than the majority of motorcycles. It’s lighter, more maneuverable and has sufficient power to cross town on the highway. The riders triangle is larger and vastly more comfortable being more upright. I think this bike is cool, I’m happy Ducati is making it. The base price is actually competitive to bikes in its same class, which is surprising.
Du-ka-ti
Not Doocardee
You are sitting too far back on the bike
Jeez! Slow the heck down. Your content may be good, but your delivery is way too fast!
I mean, it’s cool, but it’s nowhere near the license-loser as a proper hyper Motard.
This bike has 1 more horsepower than a 701. Why is everyone hyping this up like it’s some revolutionary thing. It’s just another high performance low reliability European piece of trash that the motorcycle journalist will hype up because they don’t want to piss off Ducati and lose their press bike access.
That you will never afford. Stick to buell.
hahaha..
@@SP-xd8gs So triggered. Bro thinks his Ducati is a Lamborghini. My friend we can all afford a Ducati. Some of us just do real miles and need something reliable.
I know you only ride to the local coffee shop in a full Rev It suit on sunny days but not all of us buy bikes to be a fashion accessory.
So you ride a Honda? Or maybe another japanese Tourer/ ADV/ Sport Tourer? Surely if you ride a HD, any argument over value and reliability is silly...
Do you IRLtroll as badly as you do on the internet?
Junk
690 smcr more better. Ducati trash
