2:33 I just bought this exact model and I love the seating position because I love looking up far ahead for incoming traffic and scenery. Not many sport riders love it but it’s so fine engine
Good morning - totally agree - it's a brilliant riding position and I just loved that feeling of being right over the front wheel and feeling it dig into the ground What a bike! Thanks for stopping by, all the best, cheers, Phil.
Hello... Hows the bike going do you still love it? I'm about to buy one myself I think, trade in my 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 1000. I miss the bottom end torque of a Vtwin. They're a special order bike now from Ducati as the Multistrada 950 took its place.
+Paul Thomas Evening Paul. After 12 months and around 8000 miles it still makes me giddy when I ride it. It is....brilliant. Chassis, steering and engine work perfectly together and are never overwhelming - just easy, flattering and ever so nimble. I also have B-King (I'm very lucky, I have a fabulous wife) which i really enjoy also, but I have to be a little careful with it...it feels 'serious'. The HS on the other hand is a just an excitable fizzy thing, that is also comfortable and practical. Interesting that the MS950 is getting great reviews for how manageable the engine is and "it's all you need" well, in the HS it's all that in a better, lighter package. My next bike? A Hypermotard SP with a tall screen and rack 😀
80:8 Photography & Design thanks mate that's awesome, oh the SP would be amazing I'm sure, I think it'd be too tall for me even with the lower seat, I'm 168cm tall.... 😎👍🏼
Evening - yes it was / no problems whatsoever in three years and around 12,000 miles (I think). Fabulous bike and it changed my opinions of Ducati’s completely! Thanks for stopping by, cheers, Phil.
+yellowhornet I’ll try! It might take a few months though. I agree there’s something about the balance of power, the chassis and the lightness of the HS that makes it just wonderful. I never feel anything other than totally confident riding it. And it’s comfortable and exciting. Cheers, Phil.
