Ducati Shopping Spree: Picking the perfect Hypermotard 698 Mono
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ย. 2023
- After the dust had finally settled, I decided to revisit my order I placed with Ducati Worcester and customize the Hyper 698 to my liking.
This won't be everyone choice, but for the riding i will be doing in the UK and already done similar configurations on my Hyper 950, I've added the comfort basics and will leave the rest of the modifications to do myself at a later stage.
Let me know your thoughts..? Have you ordered one? Which model did you go for? What options did you select?

I bought a 2022 950 Hyper SP, got a lot of grief from my buddies. I went for a ride with a buddy who has the V2 Panigale. We traded bikes and rode for about 30 mins and he pulled over and asked if I would sell the bike t him. The Hyper was better in every way, better torque, better handling, better on general roads, more fun and plenty fast. The V2 does not show it's muscle until way up in the RPM. I don't think the Hyper gets enough respect....that is until somebody rides one.
100% mate.. on the roads its untouchable - you need a long straight like at mugello for a V2 to open up and pass it, but you’ll have it back in the corners 🤛🏼
Sport and superbikes are garbage on public roads. Track is where they shine. Like driving an F1 car around town...would be miserable.
@@sfade6217 miserable 99.9% of the time 😂😂
Yep, seems to be a lesson most do not want to recognize
Im happy for you ! I cant wait for many videos to come with all the custom parts youre going to put on it !
Maybe we are all wrong about the Mini Hypermotard..... Good luck !
Maybe.. if I can give the 698 the same attention I gave the 950 with reviews, ownership, mods, trackdays then might convice a few more
🎉happy birthday and Christmas bud ✌️👍
Early for B’day celebrations yet.. but I’ll take it 🤛🏼🤦🏽♂️
Liked and subscribed. I’m here for this new supermoto from Ducati.
Happy days.. I’ll be sure to get the videos out thick and fast come Feb 2024
goodness me , talk about choices galore !!!
Its called Ducati Premium Tax
Are you going to keep the 950SP? I'm struggling with the redundancy. So far, my only issue is the fact that it's even taller than both our Hyper SP and the competitor (701 & 690). We are both February babies. LOL
Yeah I’m keeping the 950.. its already paid for so makes sense.
The 698 I’ll see what the dealer can offer me in terms of rates or if I can whing an “influencer” discount.. put a deposit down, then 24-month payments and then buy it at the end.. which should give me spare change for upgrades and mods to video.
I get it… it’s a Ducati but still a bit pricey. Plus is there no talk of an “sp” model? Or a v2 powered version? Pleased for ya.
V2 Hyper 950 be too much power.. if it was detuned to about 125bhp that be oerfect for the trellis frame..
am i feeling an english plated duc 698- dutch plated husq 701 sm battle on some track coming ?
Yeah man for sure.. we gota do that 👌🏼👌🏼
Should be OK to get that buddy. Looks cool. Hoping for the 950 to drop it price and I'll get that one 👍🏼
Awesome… 👍🏻👍🏻
Sorry but ducati did increase all bikes about 4-6% in october, even the ones that were sitting already in store
@@chrisk1458 inflation on all bikes yeah.. SP was £15K now £16K before any options
@@hypermotardking Ducati is getting Sold cheaper in UK, i guess taxes. German cost is relatively higher
We will see 👍🏼
I like the look of this. Be interesting comparing it to KTM’s 690.
You’ll have the big and little brother Ducatis as I have the big and little brother KTM’s 😁
Sounds like we should do a collaboration and swap all bikes 👍🏻👍🏻
@@hypermotardking That sounds like a pretty good idea.
I may need a box to get on the Hypermotard lol. I rode one in the states and had to slip
A butt cheek off the seat to reach the floor 🤣🤣🤣
@@Robbiemoto Same midget problems as me.. well if you still got the bikes early next yr we’ll sort something out 👍🏻👍🏻
@@hypermotardking I’ve got no plans to swap out my 1290 or 690 anytime soon so look forward to it. I’ll pick on your track experience as well as I’d like to try some track days.
I think we may be quite local to each other as well. Midlands/Warwickshire area ?
you didn't want the wheelie control?
Wheelie control only comes with the £2,500 Termi exhaust which makes it £2,800 optional extra - No thanks
I’m struggling to see the appeal when you can pick up a brand new 690 supermoto for £8,800. It would be good if you could ride both and do a comparison!
Theres a few people i know who have the 690 and thats the plan for next year
what about DWC ducati wheelie control software? u dont want it?
not for nearly £3,000 - you have to have the race exhaust with wheelie software together.
I don’t get enjoyment/thrills from wheelies 😂
then your on the wrong bike !! 😂 jk
I’m waiting for the 698 SP
Might be waiting a while..
If an SP comes out most ppl will chop in and upgrade the standard model
@@hypermotardking this summer I was told
@@kennedyracing7527 its normally 12months after a release the next versions/revisions come along (like the multistrada V4 generation).. so it be more like 2025..
@@hypermotardking Ducati is launching bikes starting in July every year. I don’t argue with a dealer information
For comparison, 2024 KTM 300 XCW dirtbike costs over $12k! So 11k for all the high end tech and components isnt that bad. That, and KTM is out of their freakin mind.
Even I forgot about the components and electronics the 698 offers against the price..
keeping the options minimal helps too
I’m told the service costs with Ducati is stupid.
Yeh.. they not cheap.. luckily you only need to do one or two for the warranty and any software updates.. i done most myself
I'd guess Vandemon will bring out a system or at least cans that will look and sound better than the overpriced Termi's.
I so hope so.. was even thinking that the SC Project S1’s may retro fit..???
@@hypermotardking The SC's would look waaaaay better than those Termis.
Also the ones like on your 950 (al-la Panigale up-pipes / Superbikes) would look pretty awesome 👍
Don’t think Brexit effected imports fro Australia!😂
Hahhaha… was meant to say customs/vat but got carried away
I got all excited about this bike... But then disappointed.
Low torque = less fun.
And with titanium, magnesium, light frame, light rims, lithium battery, smaller engine, smaller tank and it is still heavier than a KTM SMC-R 690.
Why ?
Less bike for more money just for a Ducati logo.
No thanks.
All valid points… yet the marketing suggests we not the ideal customer who will check/compare these against the competition
Smcr is 163kg, Ducati without fuel 151 kg. 10liter fuel = 7,5 kg ... Why everyone says KTM is lighter ?
And another Point is that (in Germany) 2024 KTM Bikes Starts at Bit over 12k €. Ducati is 12.390€. In my opinion its even, price and weight
