I have heard people say not to get powerful bikes as a beginner. But this will be my first bike. It has everything I want in a bike and is very versatile.
@@hypermotardking exactly, thank you. And it all comes down to common sense I guess. I'm already 36 year old and can controll myself not to do stupid stuff as a beginner. I'm just so in love with this bike. Looking for insurrances as we speak as research for when I get it, but its not cheap for someone like me that just got his bike license in my country. They ask over 350 euros a month for all risk. That could be a problem for me tbh.
Hey mate! As a Hyper owner myself I gotta say you did an outstanding job with those upgrades, the bike looks amazing! I was wondering if you may share them with us, I'd love to take some inspiration, such as for the headlight cover and the license plate holder. Stunning bike again mate. Thank you and drive safe!
I have a 2019 Hypermotard that I turned into an RVE. The RVE came out the year after I bought mine. I loved the look. Instead of selling and buying a new one, I turned the one I had into an RVE. Cost about 1800 US, but still saved by not selling and buying new. Has been decatted with an Upmap mapping system. I live in Thailand, so this bike is pretty much free to do what it wants. It really shines driving through the mountains here. I come from the States, and if I was still there, my bike would have been impounded 2 weeks after I got it. The freedom to ride the bike to its pontential , albeit safely, makes this the ultimate Hooligan machine. It's a motocross bike for the streets.
When I saw the hyper as concept bike I knew I had to own one.The best up grade was a fuel cell that doubled the capacity.i powder coated the rims gold and put badges next to Ducati on the tank naming the bike “ThunderCat”, I was lucky to find a ThunderCat logo that covers the clutch cover ( I don’t care for the cartoon) but love the name and the bike.The lean clearance is awesome and Diablo Corsa III Tyres stick wonderfully,I feel like a pro wheeling outta corners at lean.The bike has never scared me , it’s predictable and powerful delivery is a joy!!.15 years and I’m still in love.So is my girlfriend ( me and the Cat) I even let her drive .She loves telling people the bikes attributes, and I’m proud hearing her enthusiasm. Ride On💪
Beautiful bike, I am contemplating picking one up in the spring as a 2nd bike beside my Panigale V4. I think it appeals most, but considering an XDiavel as well. Would like a Diavel V4 but can't justify 30K on a 2nd bike. I'm sure I'll end up riding either more than the Panigale just due to comfort etc for longer days.
after my first little beginner cruiser I grabbed a drz400sm and modded that out as I owned it. my current bike is a Husqvarna 701 supermoto and I've modded it to high heaven. if I ever need to upgrade from here I think the hypermotard is where I'll go I just don't want to sacrifice off road performance
I have a 2021 with only a few hundred miles under the required 9k miles service. I have already had to take in twice because downshifting from 2nd to 1st the bike simply faints. It doesn't happen on the upshifts. As long as the matter is on record and Ducati acknowledges it, I'm fine. Since November past I've only fueled it with non-ethanol, hoping that that will help, but the wrenchers at my local dealership think that the interior of the fuel tank may be a factor in gunking throttle bodies. Last week a clear clutch unit was installed along with a radiator hose with aluminum fins to increase cooling. Thanks for mentioning the jerky throttle; I installed Ducati Spacer; they have helped, but only marginally. I think that people who see that jerking throttle effect think that it's a novice astride the bike; I invite to climb and do better. I've had other Ducati - none of them have done this - even the ones from the early 90s. I've decided that this model is definitely a keeper.
Can't freaking believe Ducati still didn't figure out gow to fix this stalling issue. I've had this on my 2013 Hypermotard 821SP for 9 years now and Ducati dealers still don't have the fix. Ridiculous.
Where oh WHERE did you get that front race fairing?!? I've been looking for a front fairing that deletes the headlight on my 939 SP because it is a track ONLY bike.
What is your cold tyre pressure at the track? And what is the cold/hot pressure range? Avon's softest compound may be taking too much heat for that PSI. It looks like 5:50 shows excessive pilling = too much heat + front sag a bit low. Gorgeous vids and thanks for the reviews!
I run hot temps in tyre warmers at track and not cold. The hot range on slicks for front is 34-36psi and rear is 25-27psi. This is using Avon Xtreme Slicks super soft front and rear medium
Do you have a list of the mods you did anywhere? Nice looking bike mate - I’m actually considering one of these.. Won’t be selling my amazing 300 Vespa but want something serious + I’m totally fed up with cars.
Agree with everything you say about it, they are great toys. I'm a bit older and quite a bit heavier, and found the suspension too hard on delivery, but adjusting it made a world of difference. If you can't get 45mm of laden sag, get some lighter springs 😁
Hi just, noticed your post, can you let me know the rough settings you are on for suspension please, Mine is way to hard stock on the SP and is bouncing in the corners. Can only see one form of adjustment on the front forks, is thus right ?
Those are great looking bikes but Imust be the only one who doesn’t like the headlight cover. What’s the point of that? I’m on my second Hyper and although I like them Im not of the option they’re the best bike ever. My Speed Triple is a much better bike.
I’m beating my self up between this and 701 have you rod a 701 amd can you be a hooligan on the 950 would you be able to go up steps like in the city or down steps if needed I don’t stop for tickets so little info would help thinks. lol
Not much of a chance to go up n down steps so far.. I’ve softened my suspension and fitted trail/off road tyres, so if you’re skillfull enough can’t see why not 🤷🏾♂️
I have a 2020 Hyper 950. A buddy has the KTM 690 SM. IMO the KTM/ Husky has great useable power for playing in the corners. Only draw back on the KTM/ Husky is they are a little limited above 120MPH. Overall I’m very happy with my Hyper 950.
Amazing looking bike mate, mine has turned up after waiting 5 months bloody love it second one I’ve had, but I’ve done 300 miles on it from new and my right hand is getting pins and needles after 20 minutes, am not holding on too tight or anything like that? Any ideas ? Regards Jay
I do get some arm pump and find my self shaking my right hand at standstill.. its a big L-Twin so coming off throttle is like dropping an anchor so you barely get any chance to rest 😭😭
I’ve had an MT10 and Tuono V4 factory before this and don’t regret it - only because I don’t chase top speed and top power because all the fun is in the corners.. and the Hyper is pure fun. I’ve never had an MT09 but that triple engine/sound is to die for and its a similar price for the MT-SP against a stock 950..
i really want to get one but very worried about the seat height :/ i have gen2 ktm superduke 1290 gt as the minute, just miss the ducati pluss want something i dont have to tame all the time. like you say 160 hp is not good when you in uk and commuting too.
Not even that 😂😂.. but suppose I got to be careful as on a limited mileage insurance policy - theres always some (unt watching and ready to grass on you 😭
No DeCat for me and the remap fixes the fuelling at all throttle openings - thats all the “riding modes” are, a relationship between throttle opening and accelerator position 👍🏻
Running in for 600 miles and then I pretty much did 8 track days with some solo rides. You dont need to do 10,000 miles to review the bikes capabilities
I can barely look after myself let alone a passenger 😂.. but the seat is large and comfy, the rear pillion pegs are positioned well.. the suspension can easily cope as its quite stiff stock
did you re-map it? also why did you choose the s1 SC instead of the full termignoni? I a thinking between a pair of CRT with the de-cat also from sc project with the xecutinig map they give, and the full termi from the options of ducati, what do you recommend?
I started with CR-T, and then changed to the SC1’s because they were too loud. I have kept the CAT because of noise restrictions here in UK on Track Days. My remap is done with the SC1 and CAT (Euro 5 Remap at a Dyno Tuner BHPUK) and can also be done for Euro5 Hypers without a CAT and CR-T. Check out BHPUK - they have lots of videos and do postal remaps 👍🏻
