Currently scooting around on a Suzuki dr650 that's set up like an adventure bike. Wanting something a little more exciting for road use and this Ducati has me tempted
Nice bike, good video! Dont know if i soent too much time in London but I wouldnt share a video with such a nice bike which pretty much tells people where it is. Too many light fingered scumbags out and about. Some handy to know things that you have shared here, which you might not get from a test ride tah! Nice1 stay safe and i hope you keep enjoying the bike! 😎👍
Great video and nice bike! I have a 21 mt-09 which I love but the supersport to me is the best looking bike out there, it will be my next bike for sure, safe riding
Great video, I've just passed my test, in my early fifties, had decided on a triumph tiger sport 660, but the 950 supersport really turned my head, thought it would be ok for a newbie in urban mode to get some experience in. But (as your comment) I decided I want to ride more than use the car so wanted an everyday bike to get me on the road and get some miles under my belt, so have bought the tiger sport, going to look for 950s early next year, in white!!
Thanks for watching! congratulations on passing your test, its a great feeling. I think you have picked a great bike in the Triumph. I really like the Moto Morini X-Cape 650 and would mind one as an everyday bike!
Hi, I have a 2017 SSS with full titanium Krakkas on it, the bike was Up-Mapped to the exhaust, its LOUD and the Duke is grumpy at low speed 😂. Im sure you will enjoy Stace's Channel, I enjoyed your vid and the countryside you ride through, thanks! 🍻
Hi 👋 thanks for watching. I have indeed seen Stace's channel, some great videos! I bet your SSS is very loud with that set up! I have a 2007 Aprilia RSVR Factory with twin Arrow Pipes, that's also very loud. I find it OK a low speed though. Thanks again for watching
I’m currently on a 2013 Ducati Monster 796. I’m looking at either a new Honda CBR650r (e-clutch) or a 2017 Ducati Supersport S. Both would cost me around 10k euro. Hard choice.
Thanks for the comment! That is a hard choice indeed. I love the looks, style and sound of the Ducati. The Honda also looks like a great bike. Have you had a test ride on either bike?
@@TwoWheelZeall Not yet. Only sat on both and clip-on height / comfort seem similar. Pegs also seem similar. Have owned BMW S1000r and pegs were strangely high…previous to that was Kawasaki ZX6R which was a killer after 250km in saddle. I’m 55 now. Comfort is important but so is soul…
Hi 👋 thanks for the comment. I've not changed anything yet in terms of suspension setup. I do think it's a little soft on the back though and want to stiffen it up. I could absolutely capture it on video and share
@@davidcohen5929 This is the Dave Moss Suspension Tuning video i used. I'm about the same weight as the guy in the video! This is perfect suspension setup for me and i have been using it for all sorts of riding. Oh I'm 100kg btw, 5'8 height ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TTB6sVNHJbc.html ... If you want the quick version here is my settings for you to try : REAR Setting Now Previous Setting Max Setting Reason Back Adjuster 12 13 20 Compression Top Adjuster 6 10 14 Rebound FRONT Setting Now Previous Setting Max Setting Reason Right fork 5 6 6 Bounce Left fork 16 18 28 Compression 😁
Hi mate, just come across your video, was pretty bored going through SS videos and watched this… I’m from Alvechurch and share some of your commute but I head out to kidderminster. I have a red SSS with ackro’s but the shotgun type, from what I’ve heard they don’t sound any different? If you wanted to meet up for a ride sometime let me know!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I was thinking about the akro's but have also heard there isn't much different. How do you find the clutch on it when it's cold. I personally thinks it's pretty aggressive but fine when warmed up! I'll get in touch to meet up for a ride when the weather is better for sure!
@@TwoWheelZeall The clutch is a nightmare when cold! There is a steep junction at the start of my commute and it looks like I’ve just started riding a manual bike again every time I come to it even stalling on the odd occasion. It’s perfect when it’s warmed up though. I think the new 950 got better with the hydraulic clutch. I have issues with some false neutrals sometimes and also the dreaded fuel sender unit playing up every now again. It’s booked in for MOT and service at Duc Worcs on Wednesday so will see if they sort it then.
Hi 👋 thanks for the comment. I think you will be fine with a pillion. I've spoken to a few people that do this and there are no issues. The bike is comfy enough, it will just require a little adjustment on the rear shock
Hi 👋 I would love to get a ride on that guzzi. If I can I will make a comparison video and post it. The Ducati is a lovely bit of kit though. Thanks for watching
Hi, thanks for watching and asking the question. I have not had a pillion on, having said that I would say there is plenty of room and it would be comfy. I do wonder though if you had panniers and a pillion? Suspension is easy enough to adjust should you want a pillion.
nice video. sorry your roads are so boring. some hills and curves would be more fun for you and us. that's the bike I'd like to add; more comfy than my sportbikes while lighter and sportier than my ninja 1000. i just cannot imagine bikes than weigh so much more than 250kg. the big harleys weigh 410kg!
