Ducati Supersport S Review, Jeff Ware

- The Ducati SuperSport S is the up-spec version of the SuperSport, with 48mm Ohlins forks v 43mm Marzocchi on the standard model, and a two way quickshifter. At under twenty grand AUD plus on-roads and a wide service interval (30,000km for valves clearances), sportsbike fun with near touring comfort makes the SuperSport S a fantastic bike for Aussie roads. We recently spent a week on one on the roads, after previously testing one at The Farm at the launch last year. Here is our Video Review, the full road test will be up on BikeReview.com.au soon, meanwhile head there to check out the launch report. Thanks for watching and remember to subscribe! Jeff Ware
'Thanging through these twisties here!' love it! Great review!
Cheers.
good video,had this bike for 8 months now , love this bike, agree with all what you said, except when going into neutral as i have seen in a lot of videos people having trouble getting into neutral i have no problem at all
Interested to know if you still have the SuperSport S and what you hate about it
Thanks for the excellent review. You’ve covered issues that other reviewers have avoided such as turning lock to lock, neutral accessible only when engine turned off. Might be a deal breaker for some. Despite the quirks, my God it’s a Ducati!
Thanks Cliff!
I'm very fortunate to own one and mine does not present the Neutral issue. The quick shifter is a beauty and I also installed the optional panniers which add a lot of cargo space and can easily be removed. Very nice sport tourer.
Is servicing very expensive? I'd like to get one but I don't wanna buy something that's like a BMW (plastic everywhere and unreliable). Could you confirm the build quality?
the 2021 redesigned the fairing to address the heat
Ok, you like the truth. I've been riding motorbikes 44 years now. I've also been a Christian since my accident. I hope your investments go well. Ride safe my friend.
Hey. I‘m from Germany. Great video. Thank you!!!
Was considering this, but picked up a 2017 Ninja 1000 instead. Very glad with the purchase.
You can't go wrong if it is a Kawasaki
thanks. Good and thorough review. You hit the nail on the head at 12:24 when you said that it takes some getting used to so take it for a real test ride. It does feel weird at first because it isn't set up like other bikes. But, after that initial phase....one can properly connect with the machine and it is such a fun bike :)
Cheers!
Great review, thanks a lot 👍
All the reviews are the S model. it would've been nice to hear a comparison of the Suspension between the standard model and the S.
Great review, now i just need to test ride one. cheers
When you said no one could find neutral, I pictured all you jurnos lined up rocking back and forth and your left feet going up and down lol
Be nice if the bike had a full color display
Never mind. It does. You just have the old one.
great video
Great review
Wisemans ferry used to be good fishing there. "Local lad are ya"
Nice review!! would u thing that trading a 2017 s1000r for this Ducati is a good move? i've been following this Ducati for a few months and it looks like an awesome bike, good power, beautiful design and looks like a lot of fun! besides, 98% of the time I only commute.
Hey Juan, it would be hard to go wrong with the Ducati Supersport, definitely give it a try, it's quite different to the S 1000 R in a lot of ways, so see how you go.
Almost half the power. But love this bike though. Did u get it?
How does the engine heat from this bike compare to a 600cc bike? I have a CBR500R now and would like to upgrade and read some people think this bike has a lot of engine heat so curious if anyone knows how it compares with a 600cc bike.
Hey John,
There's a lot of variance between 600cc models, but compared to a sportsbike this did seem to generate heat more quickly and it was more noticeable through gear, including through boots with heat protection along the lower calf. Hard to say if it's any worse than what you'd experience on most 600cc machines if you got stuck in traffic and couldn't filter for extended periods, but it was happening quicker and in lighter traffic conditions.
It's probably fairer to compare the Supersport (937cc) to 1000cc machines though, and it reminded me of commuting on a S 1000 RR back in 2013, as far as heat. That would get very hot too in slow stop/start traffic.
Great review...
Please review Yamaha MT-09ST 2018...
Cheers..
Hi there - as soon as we can get one we will. Cheers.
I really want this bike Coming from an 04 VFR800 but with that engine heat and transmission I'll keep looking! Thanks So So Sad.....
Looking at my SV650 2003 and listening to 'basic' being used to describe the dash.
How tall are you Jeff?
That neutral thing would piss me off so much, especially on a bike that costs this much
I'm thinking about buying one and I Test road one the other day and had 0 problems getting it into neutral. This may have been an old problem. My only complaint (classic Duc) was it is hot AF lol
Neutral isn’t a problem on mine
The more reviews I see on this bike the less I want it lol
Let the engine music play!
A flawed beauty, as you would expect from Italy.
Do one of you guys own a 2018 blue MT10
Peter Reed no
Hi Peter, no we haven't got an MT-10. Cheers.
Some might say its not a super sport, but it definitely isn't a sports tourer.
959 shoulf have one sided swingarm if this does
convex but it doesn’t
it is nice and all but, buy cbr650r 2019, I think that's the better choice.
Probably slightly different expectations between the two bikes, but the CBR650R is a great machine too.
Why is it all middle-aged, nerd guys or fat guys riding the Supersport? It's taking away from the cool factor of the bike.
