Not sure the base Hypermotard has the quick shifter so not sure you’re correct on this - hence the RVE is more money to cover both the paint job and the quick shifter. That said, I’d push the boat out and go for the SP - those wheels and the gold springs got to be worth the splash out 👍
@@xxxSimon it still does say so - go to tech specs, then tech specs again on the red button. Choose the standard hypermotard 950 and go down to standard equipment. It says QS there. I'll email ducati for clarification tho...
@@xxxSimon hi both - heard back from ducati and it's an error on the website which should be updated. thanks for flagging up. will keep this comment pinned
And another model-year passes and I can't be happier with my 2015 821 Hyper... (as a second bike) The fun is built-in regardless of fancy electronics, if YOU KNOW HOW TO RIDE IT!
RVE . Everything about the Hypermotard line looks like fun. Ducati quit making the Monster They can paste that name on whatever they want but it’s not a Monster.
I love my new 2022 950 SP.. yes it's pricey and had to drop a deposit and get on a waiting list as dealers in UK were only receiving 2 or 3 for 2021. These reduced numbers means dealers are already sold out for 2022 pre-orders and waiting list is till Sept 2022 to get one - that demand should keep used prices high (SPs usually are) make the bike more exclusive. I've done several modifications to mine which is more a personalisation (head over to my channel for more ideas) and some practical which a bespoke for me and what I will use the bike for - but having never ridden one or test drove one and sold my 2CR R1 to buy one, it had brought back that missing "fun" factor.
Bike looks sweet! Question though: why buy a Hypermotard? Why not a monster or streetfighter? I'm looking to buy a second motorcycle to do what my cruiser can't so I'm new to the sporty stuff. CHEERS!
RVE would be nice because I’ve got used to the quickshifter on my SMCR and dont know if I could go back. But, the SMCR is 35 inches high and the Ducati SP is 35 as well… so, the taller more expensive would fit me better! Of course I always like the expensive crap!!
If it's a choice between the Monster & the Hypermotard 950 range wins hands down all day every day. My pick would be the Hypermotard 859 SP. However, at 165cm (5"4"), it isn't for me.
If you’re interested in these practical aspects, I suspect the Hypermotard is not for you. It is strictly for irresponsible hooligan riding and track shredding.
I have the standard, put a trick Mupo shock on, redid fork oil and springs etc and Zard cans, lithium battery , Quick shifter , andM 9 RR Metzlers, Better than SP as you don’t get TTX Ohlins like Triumph., RVE looks awesome, but mine is stock colour If the SP had nice Ohlins then sure, but it doesn’t.
I sat on one at the dealer and it was uncomfortable though I did like the height of the bike (I am 6'3"). I based on reviews I have seen on the two models, I would probably take the Monster over the Hyper. But that could change if I were able to ride each for a day.
On a side note i wish ducati had kept the 797 has the base monster, if the engine is Euro5 compliant on the scrambler, there is no reason why it couldn't on the 797. Really wanted tho get one has my first ever new bike, but I'll guess it's back to the classifieds for me, or i'll be looking at new SV650.
I’d just get the standard, slap some Sc Projects on it along with a sticker kit👌🏾, I’d track it every blue moon at Laguna seca (thank you ride 3 & ride 4)
Love the SP Definately, the graphics are so cool to accompany the hyper look.here in nz it is $28,635 so approx' 14k in pounds roughly. although i'm a bit worried about the seat height at 890 mm, as i found i was on tippie toes at the lights on my aprilia dorosoduro factory- do will have to get the tape measure out..but the SP is a very handsome piece of kit.
I just recently bought a ‘22 model sp with the lowered seat. I’m 5’7” with a 30” inseam and I can get the balls of my feet down. Very easy to manage because it’s so well balanced
@@carlosandleon ah thanks mate, now i would consider to take Triumph or mv over ducati. There's so many little gap between them, and my friend said that it was better for weekend use. Im just gonna continue looking forward
Had a 2011 Hyper, this 2021 looks almost the same. Shame. The 2016s look more futuristic then the 2021 models. They need to change the body, make them newer, fresher. Something different then just a new color
No.. not a chance.. my arm get so tired on long journeys and you don't get much chance to rest and coast because the engine braking is so high it literally becomes unsafe as you slow down so rapidly.
It appears to me these bikes are aimed at riders that are approaching 7' tall yes there are other bike of this type with adjustable seat height but there are only a couple like that
Hypermotard every time because the Hypermotard looks fantastic and the monster looks awful. On a bike like this, the more lairy the graphics are, the better...
Maybe they fixed the gearbox with all the complaints about their quickshifter fucking up more times than it is fun. Tbh that thing is the only downside to mine... but it is a big one.
@@motobob yes, how lighter is it compared to hypermotard or Duke 890? Duke 890 or Hypermotard don't have that aluminum frame Yes, the aluminium frame makes it lighter... well designed trellis trame could've done the same thing. 1) aluminium frame gives them more bragging rights to say "we've changed it a lot" 2) aluminium frame can be cast and you're done, whereas Trellis frame takes a bit more than that You see, it's more of a marketing and business decision than an engineering decision. *TBH, I like the aluminium frame more, I just don't appreciate the fact that companies always blame engineering whenever some controversial decisions are to be made*
@@stefaandeswert377 Though I do like the looks, maybe because I see the bike daylily, I agree with you that people in general are not very enthusiastic on the headlight. But you don't buy a bike for its looks only but mostly for the use and the exactment given to the rider by the bike when used.
