A question to all bikers: Don’t you feel unstable and insecure when you are on a bike which doesn’t give you that flat footed experience? I love this bike, but I’m only 1.80m., and my heels definitely wouldn’t reach the floor....
Nashville Resident naaah. I’m 6’1 and if I can get one foot down I’m good. This is supposed to be a street bike for guys coming from a dirt bike background, hence the flat jacked up seat.
That's a good question: if you were to plan on riding it on streets and roads with stop & go situations; stay way from it. There's no hard and fast rule about why people buy a particular bike or their riding backgrounds - even though that should be a consideration. If you've sat on it and you don't flat-foot with both feet, stay away from it and test the non-SP model. There's plenty of stuff on pavement that can cause a foot to slip; the same holds true of why leather soles have always been a bad idea for riding a street bike. I'm 1.85m and the non-SP allowed me to flat-foot and have bent knees; the SP, which is my choice also is fine for my height.
Here in U.K. no one lines up behind the cars at red lights. Motorcycles are the first at the lights, cars only behind them.... car drivers got used to it
@Twilight 8368 good thing you edited your comment to make it sound like you were less of a dick.. would be a shame if I or someone had the chance to see what the original looked like lol. "be a little kinder.." lol. also, I made both of those commends within like 2 minutes of each other.. so like the hell are you even trying to say?
finally soemone who knows how to change the riding modes, unlike some other reviewers
your lack of gear is making me anxious
Hypers are fun bikes. I loved my 2013.
Hey, the SP comes with the quickshifter!
Thinking of this being my next bike towards end of the year! it seems almost perfect!
It's probably one of the most enjoyable riding experiences I've had. I want one too!
@@motosafari6378 Best balance between naked and supermoto!
When comparing SP to the regular you didn't even mention the Öhlins front fork. Its like 99% the reason you choose it.
hmm I should have said it in there. weird lol. If it's not my bad!
I already have a street bike....why do I want this so badly?!!?!?
Great review man!
because I want it too and I have 2 street bikes haha. This one is just so fun to ride!
MotoSafari
Right?! Looks fun sitting still...like this bike would make me request a Wednesday off and just go waste gas all day.
Goes 40mph: wow did not expect this fast out of a 950

Why u not quick Shift bro
forgot to even test it out hah. this bike is too fun to just change gears normally
Yes that's the best bit :)
Just picked up mine, just installed the full Termi... just glorious
@ricvipermoto
whoaaa. That thing probably sounds insane lol.
Haha it does , just posted the first startup on my Instagram 😝
RicViperMoto just followed ya man (Colbop). Jealous of the RR. Hopefully I’ll be able to get on one first shipment to my dealership!
How tall are you?
So the SP just has different paint and carbon fiber eh? Why would I trust your opinion on anything after saying that...
Oh, and riding without gear. Well nature will take its course then I won't have to worry for long.. Seriously though stay safe ffs... :(
