Aside from motorcycles, this is one of the best reviews of anything ever. In a world of tech and spec comparisons dominating reviews, the line that really sticks out to me is "you buy one of these because you just want to jump on a bike and smile".
The coolest bike review I have seen in a ....very long time! I have been thinking on upgrading my Hyper to a newer model, my 2012 Hyper does run superbe and for that reason I am hanging on to it....for now!
Great review. Loved it. Well done. I bought the std version earlier this year. I couldn’t justify or afford the SP. I love that bike. The most fun bike I’ve ever owned. So precise in corners and the suspension soaks up all the issues on our crappy roads. I think the electronics package makes my very average riding abilities so much better.
You live in the UK too then mate. I got rid of my RSV4 RF in the summer as the roads have become so bloody unridable on sports suspension. I’m gonna have to test ride one of these in the spring. Think this bike might just fit the bill!
Not sure if this video is too old for you to see new comments, but this review from Chris was a major part of me buying a 2019 hyper sp a couple of months ago. Him and Lara are utterly fantastic reviewers. All I need now is for him to teach me to wheelie it
Love this review. Well done Chris. Have just ordered a new SP. She’s arriving for my birthday end of the month. Can’t bloody wait! Keep up the great work guys 👍
For anyone who ownes a Ducati Hyper would cringe at the thought of riding a rocky road like that 😬And they’ll know exactly why! Excellent review, thank you
Rad review. This one's been on my radar. Now I want one even more! Oh that looks like good times! I didn't know "wheelie control" was a thing. Far out.
Can't believe i wasn't subscribed❣️ Sorted that!! 1:41 had me tingling with anticipation like i myself was about to turn left🎉 Got an XT660... Had it for a couple of months... LOVE IT❣️💯 Just it's "can do" way of life.
# as a 2V air cooled Ducati fan, i could never own a naked 4V water cooled bike. Cluttered is a good word. # Chris is a very talented rider. # he is also a great reviewer.
You are a very good driver and there was wonderfull places in this nice video!! 👍 This Motorbike must be incredible and amazing to drive! I like it very mutch! Lanfranco (Italy)
I thought you'd at least put a wheelie or two in the review, j/k. Lover the look of the new frame/subframe. Looks like a riot of a bike...as it should be for $18K US.
warblooroob new Husky 701 will be around 9 and a half grand when it comes out next year though and comparatively, pretty basics. This has full electronic suit, forged wheels, Ohlins suspension and Brembo 4.3s. You can see where the extra money has gone. I love both bikes for different reasons. Ultimately comes down to how big your wallet is 👍
19500 otd. Bought an 821 instead. Damn glad I did. It’s madness. Idk what this guys was saying about the 821. I’ve ridden every model except the 1100. They’re all lit up 🔥
Saw this review and went and got one today. I agree with Chris one of the most fund bikes out there, rides amazing! He didn't mention the only thing I didn't like (aside from ABS) is that it does not have a fuel gauge. A $17K bike and you don't know how much fuel you have left?
Alright, Chris here's one...Adjusting the Super Duke 1290 (2020) slip 1 to 10 on the TFT screen and explaining why and how it serves me. I have the Tech Pack add-on but I am still somewhat Ignorant about the features on this bike. thanks, brother, MaC
Really enjoyed this review - great job, i know these bikes have smallish tanks and they're all about having a blast , but i'd be interested to know if anyone has done any major road trips??
Get this guy to do more of your reviews for sure.
Yeah! He is a hell of a rider and bloody versatile as well! Even more versatile that the bike reviewed! :P
keep putting this guy on a bike!
One of the greats for sure!
Chris just raised the bar what a quality video Bravo 🏍💨
Like to get Chris on the Yamaha Tenere 700 🏍💨
@@adamg8683 Stay tuned!
Nice video. I always respect Chris's view on bikes as I know he is a pretty handy rider. It would be great to see him doing more stuff on here.
Already working on the next one, Chris is now one of our full time presenters.
Bike World that’s great news 👍. He is a great road tester and a talented boy to boot
Best bike reviewer on the You Tubes in my humble opinion. ✊🏻
This is how a hypermotard is supposed to be ridden!
absolutely
Nothing has been more true,👏👏
I always enjoyed all of Chris's reviews in the past. Not only is he very articulate, he can REALLY ride a bike! Thumbs up
oh yes he can.

Cheers Craig, we do our best to stay away from the specs, all about the ride!
Chris is the best at these sort of videos, cool , skilled, honest and keeps it interesting
The only video that can show the true potentiel of this lovely bike ! god bless you Chris !
Bike World has really been upping the ante recently. Chris is a great addition to the Short-and-sweet team.

Amazing review !! The versatility is what attracts me to this bike and the pure fun. Hope to pick one up over the Xmas period of 2019/2020 woo !
id watch this fella all day reviewing bikes. i usually switch videos half way through.. best review for a bike ive seen

Actually riding a bike for a review... How refreshing, this video should be playing at all Ducati dealerships around the world

@@richardburns9772 Dont be so harsh on him. many bikes this day and age are dumbed down with whiz bang bollocks.Thats why I will never buy one.

@@johnsmith-mm1vt "dumbed down"?
Explain.
The Hyper is worth every penny!!!! WICKED FUN and the sound is glorious!!!
When you have a lot of money in the bank and only one week left to live.
Space Marine with only a week to live you only need the down payment and gas money. Maybe a Snickers.
Absolutely spot on..crisp and to the point review...nailed it mate. Look forward to more..cheers!

By far the best review I’ve ever seen for a bike!
Love this guy, just says it like it is. Very honest and fun review.

best review I ve seen on anything in a long time - honest and simple...good job and thank you
That is how you should have a bike reviewed. Good job mate. Love that bike.
I'd lose my license in the first hour.
Yeah especially once you ride up the stairs of City Hall.

On of the best bike review if seen this days, very much fun to watch it 👌
Thanks
I liked your review. Short, straight to the point, no blah blah... 👍nicely done under 10 mins
I like the way this guy rides. A big 👍 to you sir.
Dowds doing a vertical wheely on a full dress Goldwing whilst wearing a kilt was a peak moment for Superbike magazine.
This is my baby. Love every second with this bike. Most importantly it is not tired at all when you ride it for 2 hours in London.
Can confirm that it forces you to smile at least a dozen times per mile, like it or not. Whatever may ail you, this bike will improve your mood.
another great review with Chris. keep it up.
Well done bike world, chris is a gem
Job Done..by making this brilliant video with such a cool bike!!
Agree with other comments.. Get this guy to do more reviews! Awesome AND informative!!

Simple as that, it looks amazing, it makes you smile, job done !
A bike that's certainly on my radar, thanks for the great review
Oh cool one of the best reviewers I have seen!! Nice!
Great video, nice riding and the review was well done. Really enjoyed.
This video reminds me of what Hypermotard was born to do ❤
Everything here in this video is superb. From your speech to bike 💯💯💯👍👍
It sure didn’t need more power, but we will take it

Spot on review! Amazing riding. I love my 2018 SP.
Thanks John
Quality video all round. Cheers fella's!
Cheers!
Best reviewer out there!
Had same bike a few years ago, sold it 😢 a few bikes in between 🎉 now back with latest SP Moto GP colour….boy I missed this amazing bike….
Wow better than 1100 is a huge statement! I gotta go test ride now. Thanks mate.
This man is just great. I love that style 👍🏼👍🏼🤌🏻 great motorcycle btw
My heart and my mind says: go get one it suits you my wallet says: really?? Whats your next wish?? Bugatti??
its not very expensive. still under 15k i mean you can always go get a drz400sm
@@WhiteGravey unfortunately im not from Us or uk but thanks
it's almost twice the price of my husqvarna 701 sm -17 tho.

His name’s Chris Northover, he’s our full time presenter.
@@BikeWorldTVshow that guy is pure inspiration. Say hello to chris all the way from israel 👊🏻🔴

Most exciting reviewer
That short clip at 7:34... wasn't that Nicky Hayden on the 821?
steveman1982 Yes sir!! Great 👁
How the make the Hypermotard instantly 30% cooler - stick Chris on it with a set of offroad capable tyres!
In the thumbnail the bike looks so happy to be doing what it was designed to do lol I can’t not see the bike smiling now
Such a good review!
Cheers!
Wow what a rider!
hi guys, thanks for the video it's really nice to watch. I was wondering if you adjusted the suspension set up either for bumpy roads or offroad ?
Hi, we did nothing but changed the tyres.
@@BikeWorldTVshow which tires?
Can't afford a ducati, but I am still watching all reviews.
This was an awesome review.
More vids more vids !! Chris is a 24ct gold pilot & a cracking watch !!
What a proper ride 🙌
Chris made me buy this bike. No regrets.
Great review mate. What really matters: you like it when you see it and when you get on it, makes you smile. Same with girls xD
Q is... this duke, the 790, or the husky 701......🧐🤔
Also. There ain’t enough of these ‘just get on and have fun’ bikes around.

Chris, Another awesome review, Thanks. SuperDuke or Hypermotard SP ?
Looks like the front wheel is pretty much superfluous ;-)
Rubber saving!
Great review! I want one now.
This is the most good looking Ducati imo, just wished it had at least 140-150 HP.
Just wait for the new Streetfighter.....
Really enjoyed this review - great job, i know these bikes have smallish tanks and they're all about having a blast , but i'd be interested to know if anyone has done any major road trips??
Enjoyed this review
Which other Ducati models besides a Scrambler would be considered a starter machine.
I started on a Monster 696. Absolutely love it. The only way I'd get rid of it is to get the 1200r
Buy a shitty Honda rebel. Sell it months later for what you paid for it. You're riding skills will be greater than learning on a bigger bike.
