Chris is so damn likeable. Fantastic review as usual. My back still has mileage on it so sport tourers dont appeal to me, but they nailed the styling on these 950
I know this shouldn't be a surprise because he's been doing this for a long time, but bloody hell Chris is one of THE best motojourno/racer/testers out there at the moment. So watchable, with a genuinely funny and engaging way of presenting. He plays on pretending to be a "grown up road tester" but this is pure tongue in cheek as he is clearly one of the most experienced and a massive number of the so called TH-cam motovloggers could learn a lot from someone who really knows his stuff. Top work. More of the same please 👊😎
I think these guys do the best real world reviews. I know this vid is 3 years old but I think he is spot on. I was in the market for a sports bike and tried them all and I can without a doubt say that all of the race bikes, Panigale V2 or V4, S1000RR, RSV4, R1 etc. absolutely suck to ride on the street. In fact, just 2 days ago I was getting repair done and they just offered for me to take a Panigale V2 out. It was awful, hot as hell, I could not lift my head up high enough to see, it has absolutely nothing under the hood below 8k and when the power kicks in it is so non linear and violent but just feels bad. Now the 950S is a much different story, it definitely reminds me of 80's-90's sport bikes. Yes, I do own a 950S but that was after being disappointed by all of the race bikes. I can 100% tell you that on the road the 950S feels faster than any of these race bikes, more torque, comfortable and so planted. I like that 937 engine so much that I have the Hyper SP, Desert X and the 950S. Anyone who buys based off of horse power figures or track times is making a big mistake. I suggest if you are not a track only or a track guy 5 times a year a race bike is not worth the expense or the suffering. If you ride the 950S on road you will absolutely not be disappointed by the power, it honesty feels like a 140hp bike or more. That being said, I also own a Pikes Peak, Super Duke Evo and a gen 2 Vmax so I can truly speak about the power differences......you will not feel under powered on the 950s.
Quoting it "Panigale for your dad" was the best sum-up anyone has ever come up with. That was savage. Loved the video (as always). Great Work Chris. ✌️
You didn’t tour on it...When I had one (939) it was brilliant for touring. Southern Italy was my furthest. Had 2 Multis and would take the SS every time - comfiest seat ever. Agree with everything else 👍
Good review/reviewer. I'm a dad and I own a 939 Supersport. Not much reason to upgrade which is a shame, especially as the gripes pointed out were true of the original bike. One gripe missing is the considerable heat under the rider. Great in March, not so great in August. I'd have expected Ducati to address this issue if they want owners to upgrade.
Great review man! You judge a road-sports bike as such. I am tired that so many people talk as if they are MotoGP riders. I only wish you had something to comment on how it rides with a passenger and his/her comfort. A point negleted by most reviewers, and it shouldn't be, especially at such bikes.
Your reviews are always SPOT-on mate! The sort of info from a real-world day to day biker's perspective, and the sort of feedback we all really want to know about... Served with well thought of examples and notions that are almost able to transport us in to the ride with you... Well done brother, i must say, VERY well done. Thks for caring and for sharing. Cheers and best regards from PORTUGAL
Excellent review. I bought mine first time it came out 4 years ago and I have been enjoying it a lot since. I took it to track a dozen times, then decided she is too pretty and not really for track (just like he said. My biggest issue was the low pegs) and got myself a dedicated track bike. On the road I can't get enough of riding it though. Just so sweet. . Some quirks he didn't mention include: quick shifter works fine but not always. You have to be in the right rev otherwise it could get nasty on you. I rode BMW's with quick shifters and the quality difference is clear. Also, this one is really unhappy when it first wakes up. Until the engine warms up, throttle can be quite jerky and the bike can stall. Can't agree more with the thumb squeeze. It is super annoying. That kind of design fault should not exist, same goes for mirrors. But, overall, I love the thing. He captured the essence of it so well. It is a marvelous bike and the engine is absolutely addictive.
i really like your reviews man, they're on point! not too much blahblah, just all the infos i want to get a little insight of a bike i might consider testing myself. keep up the awesome work!
I own a Panigale V2 as a dedicated track bike. I do 20 track days a year on it. Just bought a new Supersport S for the street. Its wonderfully set up for the street. I owned ADV style bikes like Multi's etc, but i just love being connected to the tank and the machine, vs being a sail in the wind.... Oh and i am a 52 year old "Dad"
@@hatamoto68 i have two v2’s, one is track only and not street legal, the other is a piece of art in my garage (Bayliss v2) that dones get out enough. Mainly because for me, they are great for 20 mins track sessions with breaks in between, but torture on the street. Note that i am an one man of 51. The Supersport i would totally get over the v2 for daily riding and light touring. It’s the goldilocks bike.
Own the previous 937 model, and love it great comfortable road bike and sufficient 113bhp mine has a mapped Termi that soynds awesome and longest I've owned a bike, dad's Panigale lol.
is it friendly to borderline beginners like a ninja 650? I have a little bit of experience from a few years ago and also a pure street guy, I’m the like the literal embodiment of all show, no go😂
@@Westside_Hippie I describe myself as an intermediate level rider, also all show and no go lol, she is fairly easy to handle so as a returning rider you should be fine, for a total novice I would say go to something with less bhp.
@@debenhamdave4314 borderline intermediate myself too but possibly rusty. My mindset/personality helps too. Honestly this bike checks all the boxes for me outside of Ducati prices 😂😂
@@Westside_Hippie yes fair enough, 2nd hand prices begin at £7500 for a stock 2017 model, but depreciation is very low. Enjoy what ever bike you choose but think you have the taste for a lovely red Ducati lol,
Reminds me of the old Yamaha YZF600 ... looks like a "600" Sportsbike of its time and it was good and comfortable enough to spend 6000 km on a three week roadtrip Germany -> Scotland -> around Ireland -> South UK and back to GER.
Always love hearing your words of wisdom Chris. I’m retired and approaching grandad status. I never thought I’d own a flat twin with shaft drive but I absolutely love it, especially surprising the occasional sports bike through the twisties. I just can’t see myself taking the next step and flicking the switch ⚡️ though.
I'm 6' and 200lbs... so carry some holiday weight from 2009 and I love this bike, finally a sport bike that doesn't require a chiropractor visit after half hour of riding. Also, i like the over all power because on high end power bike, I'm constantly testing my self control. Happens on my fxdr and r18... go for it people... just toss those antlers out
Your review is the answer to all my doubts. Real life experience review...All reviewer should be like you. Not all bike owners would spend their riding time on track. 99% of them would be on road riding 99% times.
Have ridden the first incarnation on the road and on a sunny twisty B road I really enjoyed it. As you say nice a comfortable bike with a great twin sound track. I found the quick shifter nice too😎
Thx Chris, I saw your MT-09-SP review and a number of others and eventually went out and bought one. The 2023 . Lotta fun, Love it. I ride the twisties on the weekends and do 3 to 4 track days a year on my MT-09-SP. I do very little else on it. Rarely ever longer than two hours in the saddle at a time due to other hobbies and time constraints. Based on the track day feel, I'm starting to consider that I need lower bars ( looking at the Woodcraft ) and higher further back rear sets so that I'm not dragging the pegs on the track days. Also, I'm just starting to run out of horsepower and considering an ECU flash tune. I don't quite think I want to be waded up on a full sports bike due to wrist comfort. And also because I occasionally take a pillion/guest on a ride. So given that, which would you recommend,.... sticking with the MT-09-SP and making the $1,500 in mods or trying the Super Sport 950 S ,perhaps a V2 Street Figher??...or is there something else you like for my particular riding needs and within this sub $20K price range?
Good review and accurate evaluation about who this bike is for. I own the 939 Supersport which is essentially the same 937 motor and the same chassis. The thumb- trapping is mostly mitigated by adding 15mm spacers to the bars: much improves the tank/ bar issue and doesn't seem to impact the steering feel. For the blurry mirrors you can close the throttle and pull in the clutch and get a clear moment's view; Yes, it's pretty comical that a modern motorcycle had these faults, quirks, whatever you want to call them, but oh well.
Keep in mind that the Supersport 950 (apart from the extra 5 HP) has MUCH more torque, MUCH lower in the rev band than your VFR (93 Nm at 6.500 rpm vs. 75 Nm at 8.500 rpm)... Moreover, the SS950 is around 40 kg (85 lbs) lighter than the VFR. In short: a Supersport 950 will feel MUCH faster than your VFR... and I LOVE the VFR!
@@eskemeldgaardkrogh4145 I agree that on paper that appears to be the case. but I have a NC30 & VFR750 and the way they build power on the road is sublime. The numbers aren't the whole story. I had a 916 years ago great but overrated an R6 was much better. But I get your point.
I test rode this bike 2 times because I liked the styling. But the handling was not as sharp I hoped for. And it turned out I never bought one. It's a jack of all trades master of none type of bike.
Great review, Chris. Odd question. 2021 950 Supersport S vs 2020 Triumph 765 Street Triple RS handling/engine for weekend back road rides and the occasional short tour?
I feel like these reviews come always come from the perspective of a almost professional rider, 90% of the people riding these things are not pushing the limits of these things like they do, so whatever they say needs to take a step back for the rest of us
Nice video! I like how you review bikes. Do you think it's comfortable enough to travel with it without wanting to die on the second day? You should review the Aprilia RS 660 and the Honda cbr650r. I would love to see your opinion on them.
Love british who ride bikes for some odd reason lol ( I’m Swedish ). Maybe it’s your accent making the hobby feel more sophisticated rather than a muurican ”I’m so tough!!”-accent. Is it worth going to the UK for a biketrip?
Okay, maybe a bit of a weird question, but how does it compare to Street Triple RS, handling and suspension wise? The reason for this question is, in Germany base SuperSport costs around the same as Triple RS...
It has one major problem you didn't mention...the RS660. That probably does all of those things better as does an rsv mille gen1 come to that at 20 years old! Then the Panigale V2 offers the comfort with the performance. I'd take the panigale v2. Never liked the older 900ss which was a sheep in wolfs clothing...all something and nothing and this one looks a better made version of that.
I was looking to buy one and found a low mileage second hand example at my local dealer - for a bike that was only a couple of years old it looked pretty shabby. Put me off.
Woow WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RED VERSION. I ride the "REAL DEAL V TWIN" A RED VTR1000F FIRESTORM" and as it cost me £10k less, AND IT IS FANTASTIC. I think biking has gone BACKWARD BUT PRICES HAVE GONE FORWARDS LOL The Ducati has RETRO TEC BUT FUTARISTIC PRICES and any "FOOL CAN BE EASILY PARTED FROM HIS MONEY" I rest my case! SAD :)
Your dad? I’m 60 and still ride my 1299S, sunny boy. In fact I watched this after riding it 100 miles and stopped for lunch. Tomorrow I’ll take my 911 out. So there.
Haha good man! Yeah, to be fair my Dad still rides a Fireblade and was messing around getting the wheels on his Legacy B-spec painted Gold because it was too sensible. Maybe I should have said a Panigale for grown-ups 😜
This seems like my kind of bike.
"Panigale for your dad."
Hol' up.
Are ya winning, son?
Hahahaha! Same

Like that quote "while people are going past you just be safe in the knowledge they are less comfortable than you are."
He’s fantastic. What a funny guy. He gets you interested and eager to listen to what he’s saying. Great charisma.
Your reviews are simply excellent.
Agreed
I’m glad they still make bikes like this. Think vfr, triumph sprint st....comfortable, good looking bikes with characterful engines.
The answer to Honda not making a SuperHawk any more...still a shame! But good on Ducati!

The old air/oil cooled Super Sports were awesome
I watch a lot of reviews, and you’re hands down the best one I’ve come across. Admittedly it took me awhile to get here, but I’m subscribed now.
With out a question this bike is one of the most beautiful 😍 bikes ever made. Shame it doesn't have 10Hp more and cruise control.
I promise you it's got enough poke.
Your reviews are second-to-none!

Another well honest polished review 👍
‘Panigale for your Dad’......Yep, that’ll be for me 👨🏻🦳
Love this review style.
Hi Chris ...could you please please do a comparison between this bike and Aprilia 660🙌🙌🙌
Great review mate! Spot on.
I test rode this bike 2 times because I liked the styling. But the handling was not as sharp I hoped for. And it turned out I never bought one.
It's a jack of all trades master of none type of bike.
56 and got a 899 and love it
I've got the previous S an love it.
Love Your Video From Malaysia. Looking forward on this bike..tq
Almost same as my Love( Ducati Supersport )
7:48 😂😂 same feelings
Love from India (Madurai)🙏🏻
This was the highlight of the 2018 NEC bike show for until I saw the power figures..
it looks sooo good I want to have it!
Excellent - thanks mate !
Nice video Chris
I love it; a chilled Paginale
Wish they would do different color options every year like black or yellow and etc.
Great review as per normal Chris. So basically, this is a modern day CBR600F then?? Does pretty much everything and in comfort too!?
Yes, I’d go with that. Maybe a little less practical than the CBR6F but definitely more fun.
Excellent review 👍
Thank you!
I like the front fascia more than panigales. And the engine sound. My gripe is no split seat, small tank and small instrument screen
Great review, Chris. Odd question. 2021 950 Supersport S vs 2020 Triumph 765 Street Triple RS handling/engine for weekend back road rides and the occasional short tour?
I’m in the same dilemma aswell, Do let me know if you choose one. Cheers!

In my old fart opinion... the SuperSport S is the best looking motorcycle Ducati produces and its engine gives the bike a thumping soul ....
I'm in love with your talking :D
Nice video! I like how you review bikes.
Do you think it's comfortable enough to travel with it without wanting to die on the second day?
You should review the Aprilia RS 660 and the Honda cbr650r. I would love to see your opinion on them.
Super Standard 950 S (standard) haha. nice review. lock to lock hand pincher ala ZX14!
Great review, almost sensible! 😂
Love british who ride bikes for some odd reason lol ( I’m Swedish ). Maybe it’s your accent making the hobby feel more sophisticated rather than a muurican ”I’m so tough!!”-accent. Is it worth going to the UK for a biketrip?
7:46 is my favourite
Really like your reviews, good fun! What visor is that on your Shoei helmet?
Thanks for the review! Looks like the pillion might get toasty feet though from the exhaust
Road test done right. Ciao.
Great review!
An Italian VFR?
Reminds me of the latest generation of the Honda VFR 800.
Okay, maybe a bit of a weird question, but how does it compare to Street Triple RS, handling and suspension wise? The reason for this question is, in Germany base SuperSport costs around the same as Triple RS...
Couldn’t agree more on Ducati v-twins! Didn’t know what I was missing until I got my 998. Now everything else is just meh.
Great review! How does it compare to the older Supersport S??
So what is the difference between this and the V2?
i cant wait to test ride one
Can you please tell us how it compares to the competition, specifically the Kawasaki ninja 1000sx.
CBR650R VS DUCATI 950S what's your thoughts?
Super-Stradali would work 😊
The speedometer - is it km/hr or miles/hr?
Any heat issues like the panigales?
So it's basically a Monster 1200S chassis with a 950cc engine stub handlebars and some fairings, isn't it?
A good bike, but its priced higher here in India than competitors like BMW F900XR which make a much better road bike due to suspension travel.
It has one major problem you didn't mention...the RS660. That probably does all of those things better as does an rsv mille gen1 come to that at 20 years old! Then the Panigale V2 offers the comfort with the performance. I'd take the panigale v2. Never liked the older 900ss which was a sheep in wolfs clothing...all something and nothing and this one looks a better made version of that.
Trellis frame is still there unlike the monster.
This vs rs660 which is best for performance and pillion happy
Need to ride and review new Aprilia rs 660 & tuono. 🙏🏻
LOL that is what I was thinking a OLD mans sport bike. PS: I'm old.
This vs a Duke 890r. Nice video presentation
They need to make a more powerful Supersport around +/-170hp would be perfect
Awesome
I was looking to buy one and found a low mileage second hand example at my local dealer - for a bike that was only a couple of years old it looked pretty shabby. Put me off.
What's the heat situation?
I want a 888
Woow WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RED VERSION.
I ride the "REAL DEAL V TWIN" A RED VTR1000F FIRESTORM" and as it cost me £10k less, AND IT IS FANTASTIC.
I think biking has gone BACKWARD BUT PRICES HAVE GONE FORWARDS LOL
The Ducati has RETRO TEC BUT FUTARISTIC PRICES and any "FOOL CAN BE EASILY PARTED FROM HIS MONEY"
I rest my case!
SAD :)
Crappy road surface? That reminds me, I have to tax my machine.
Yeah but....does it wheelie?
Your dad? I’m 60 and still ride my 1299S, sunny boy. In fact I watched this after riding it 100 miles and stopped for lunch. Tomorrow I’ll take my 911 out. So there.
Haha good man! Yeah, to be fair my Dad still rides a Fireblade and was messing around getting the wheels on his Legacy B-spec painted Gold because it was too sensible. Maybe I should have said a Panigale for grown-ups 😜
Good hooligan bike???
