2020 Ducati Supersport S | Long Term Review Final Ride 

You guys inspired me so I took a day off and used it for testing several 2021 model Ducatis; Monster 950+, Supersport 950 S, Scrambler 800 Icon, Hypermotard 950 RVE, Streetfighter V4 and finally Panigale V2. For my use I think my favourits are Supersport and Monster (in that order). Hopefully I can afford one for the 2022 season! I’ll watch Your reviews some times over and over and try to descide. Half the fun is looking forward to it like a 4 year old for christmass! Thanks Bill and Bogner, keep up the grate work. Cheers from Norway!

Great video, taking delivery of a 2021 Supersport S tomorrow and your review helps reinforce the purchase.

Always great reviews on this channel, Hope you get your hands on the new 2021 950 Supersport to review soon. Would be great to see that bike in your skilled hands around a track! (Watched your video on the new monster on track - epic)

Nice final review and man that road..... 😍

I picked mine up yesterday. So many reasons most of which you covered as to why, when looking for a sports tourer I chose the Ducati. I can't say that having the best looking panniers was the deal clincher but it sure is a big bonus. Thanks for the review I will book mark it and watch it again on those days when the weather prevents me from getting out for real 🙂

I am 2 weeks into my first Ducati. Found the 2018 s model being sold privately for 9k with only 450 miles. Spotless. I jumped on it.

That road you are in in this video looks like heaven to ride on. The perfect road for the SuperSport. I recently bought a 2017 SuperSport. ( not the s model ) It looks 99% like new. It only had 2159 km when i bought it. And i have only ridden it around 400 kelometer so far. And up until tonight i loved almost everything about the bike. But this evening i went into the city on it for the first time. And i was in painfully slow traffic for maybe 20 minutes where i was in first gear below 3000 rpm the entire time. And the bike hates being at one or two thousand rpm. It is only happy after 3000rpm. And the geometry of the bike doesnt really lend itself to slow speed minuvering. And i also noticed tonight that the bike doesnt flip back and fourth easily. Its like all the things that make the bike so stable at higher speeds and make the bike hold its line so great on big sweeping turns is a negitive at very slow speeds in traffic. The bikes favorite place to be is on big sweeping turns like in this video. But not the best for small canyon turns. I test road an MT09 and XSR 900 before buying the Ducati. And on big open roads i much prefer the stability of the SuperSport. But the MT09 is way easier to minuver in the city. Letting out the clutch in first gear on the Ducati is a little hard to get used to. Because the bike is just not good at one and two thousand rpm. Which makes stop and go traffic a nightmare. It also makes the engine really hot. So tonight i discovered what i dont like about the bike. But overall i am in love with the bike. I love the looks. Love the engine. Love the stability and how it holds its line on big sweeping turns. And the bike has allot of characture. You feel like you are on something special evertime you ride it. And people always want to look at the bike. And its not boring at all like i found the Honda CB 650. Which has no low end or midrange power. The Supersport ergernomics is what every sport bike for the street should be. Not a track bike that breaks your back if you ride it longer than a half an hour.

Superb comfortable sports bike that is more than adequate for my particular skill level. I l'll get a Super Lottery ticket tomorrow.

Loved mine. Its a great bike. Unfortunately mine was retired by a car in the beginning of June. Now have a Streetfighter V4S at the dealers. Just waiting for a tail tidy and slipons to be mounted.

Good job 👍👍

I have a 17. I weight pretty close to what you do and I would have loved to know how you set up the suspension. I’m nervous to start messing with it myself

Great review. For a guy your size, any issues with your back when you get off this bike?

I own a 2018 in white. Best bike I have had thus far. I have had a few Kawasaki’s and a Yamaha in the past

I'm 6' and 200lbs... still carry some holiday weight from 2009 and I love this bike, finally a sport bike that doesn't require a chiropractor visit after half hour of riding. Also, i like the over all power because on high end power bike, I'm constantly testing my self control. So go for it people... just toss those antlers out, and get a cool gel seat cover...

How and when and where is the vibration?

Own a 2017 SSS with a tad bit over 24k miles, still love it!

What was the MPG like on this bike?

I was hoping to see you on the bike sitting up right and on riding positions...any other videos you have on this bike that you can suggest me watch for it?

Im really tempted to pull a trigger on this, £10k is a tiny bit too steep but I will have my eye out on used one

what about the heat to the rider issue, did you notice it? Mentioned in other tests

If you plan on only occasionally hitting the track, would you take the Supersport if you owned it or would you get a dedicated track bike? Would like to hear what an experienced rider such as yourself thinks

Great review;) Ive heard about some heat coming out from the cylinder/engine to the seat??...-not comfortable when riding in the summer or through the city.... anyone had problem with that?? How does the bike behaves riding slow speeds, low revs...? thank you

Great review! We’re about the same height/weight so I really appreciate your videos. 😎 Do you like the SuperSport S more than the Aprilia RS 660 as a comfy sport bike?🤔

I love the white Ducatis. Great little touring bike I'm sure.

Had it also for a few weeks, did 6000km on it. Great bike, I fell in love with it too. Did you see the new 2021 one! Wow thats a great update, maybe....

Indeed. I've bought a 2019 super clean S model with 50'000 kms on it! Only thing I don't like, apart from the super-vibey mirrors, is that the thing is a bastard to pull away with when cold. Super snatchy, liable to stall, much slipping of the clutch is required. I can't believe this is normal. I've had Ducatis since 1985 - none of them have been like this. Once warm, the problem goes away. Any ideas? Thanks!

Where do you feel the vibration and when?

💜🇵🇭Love love

A while back you did a tongue in cheek vlog comparing your Racer to the Streetfighter but surely the Racer and the Supersports is a good comparison? The Duke seems better equipped and has the same horse power for 233cc less but 25 % less torque, any thoughts? 🏍🇬🇧

How's the heat under the seat ?

It's cute to watch her play at sports touring. It's like watching your pretty lil wife trying to carry all the grocery bags at once.

did you like this over the rs660?

Bay Area motorcycle enthusiast. I ride out to Berryessa often. Let's link up for a ride! 2015 MTS 1200 S and an 2008 848.

I think youve sold it to me!

Not enough power. My first bike and its too slow

If only Ducati offered the 2021 Supersport with the 1260 engine as an option, that would be the perfect sportbike!

This bike needs an update tft, make it smooth down low

What shame. Installing panniers on That bike is not a good look.

Had 2018 S model for 5 month and that was the worst bike I ever have in my entire motorcycling life. Mirrors vibrated as hell, you can not see anything in it. Narrow powerband, molten rear shock bump stop from exhaust tubing, cracked dashboard, fuel injectors failure. All fixed by warranty, but shit bike anyway, sold it to ducatisti with a big discount and I was the most happy human!
