I had the pleasure of owning one of these back in the day, the S version with the air cooled 1100 engine. What a fun bike! Always on one wheel or the other, constantly entertaining. And the sound was superb. These are a great urban standard/hooligan bike. I’d love to ride a new one! They seem faithful to the formula, for sure.
That bike made me have a huge smile when I tested. Went and bought the RVE and certainly a keeper in my garage. Ducati made a great fun bike. Certainly not for long journeys but what a weekend toy.
Ive had my ‘22 SP for 18 months now and its the best bike I’ve ever owned and modified mine so much its even better 🤘🏼
I hope to get one in about 1 year, what have you modified?
@@banoodel5121 everything.. got about 100+ videos on my channel - take your pick 👍🏻
Nice to get your opinion on this bike mate. I've owned a Hyper 939 SP for over 2 years now and I just love the damn thing. Not the most comfy ride (even though I've done the NC500 on it) but so much character. Especially when it breaks down under you.
Had my 2020 SP for two years now, the quickshifter is slick as goose shit if you're actually having a go, it requires throttle to be closed to downshift.
The engine feels best at 6-8k, rather than idling it around the back lanes.
Setting the suspension for your weight makes all the difference. You need more sag than a sports bike (50-60mm) and the ride is plush while the handling remains sharp. Just got back from a 1500km journey over 5 days and not saddlesore.
You are right though, it's an absolute hoot to ride anywhere but on a freeway
Oooh, that's crying out for a love titanium system. Looks great!
Excellent video, Dan. Glad to see you back pumping them out, which, of course, is what she said.
The bike looks and sounds amazing! I hope we get to see a review for the 2023 Diavel soon! 🤤😍
Great review! I've had one of these for over a year now and unless you're giving it beans, the gearbox is a little clunky. Just needs HOONED everywhere!!
Also, I've had it out in the snow and ice -6c and it goes everywhere. The ultimate commuter!
@@tony.healthtone Yeah man, I still have the diablo rosso 3's from factory on mines and I had it out in snow and ice.. Was stupid really but it got me back and forth to work! I reckon if you put some rugged tyres on her it would make a world of difference! It's just a road going crosser with all the electrical helpers. Love this bike!
That quick shifter you’re describing sounds exactly like my 890R. You would think in this day and age manufacturers would’ve worked it out especially Ducati because they have some awesome butter quick shifters on other models.
The quick shifter loosens up after a while. Mine got better after a couple of months.
I've been to the Ducati website and specced up one of these about 20 times. So silly, and soo nice.
I've done the same, with many a bike! I feel the pain!
That looked like a lot of fun. Fantastic looking machine but with the size of the fuel tank and the price a fuel guage would have been a welcome addition, as I am sure those riding would be making the most of the insanse power and handling
What a beautiful bike!! Amazing. One day I'll get one
Another great video, thanks Dan! Please do let us know how you’re finding the sv650 to live with. I’m highly considering one as my first big bike now that I’ve passed my test 😊
Will do, more SV content coming soon!
Go for it, SV650 is a great 1st big bike
It is good old Sabretooth, the last Mohican... better be fast b4 it gets an "fun 'n fancy" inline twin too. ^^
Had a bmw F800GSA for my first bike absolutely loved it. Bought a triumph Daytona after that loved the power but didn’t like the riding position and handling. I think this bike would be perfect for me
Definitely got a soft sport for these, but always put off by the height. Especially the SP model.
The main question I was left contemplating after that is....Wouldn't it be Knee grease, in place of elbow grease? Great vid as always 👌🏼
Knee grease would be correct! This is what happens when i have to think on my hands!
I had the same sound issue when I was just looking to buy my current SV650. I know how L twins are supposed to sound through Ducatis I see on the road but looking up the SV's sound on the internet sounds a bit too mellow and wimpy. It wasn't until I listened to it in person and it made me go "Yep. Yeah. The neighbors will be happy about this."
I’ve been looking to buy a husqvarna 701, but now I’m thinking this might be a better option what do people think?
Lovely looking machine......would look even better sat in my garage 🤣
Great review again ....awesome. 👍
I tries it during the Ducati event last year. Bike looks really cool but riding it was not enjoyable. Sitting position was strange and uncomfortable. It also felt very notchy. I didn't understand who that bike was made for. It is a strange mix between naked and adventure bikes. Panegale V2 or Monster were more enjoyable and made more sense.
Hypermotard's are a style excercise I think. Made for people who want a bike that's not at all practical, but jut fun! Cheers!
Great review. What a hooligan bike. Really lookimg forward to reviews for the new scrambler lineup. Hope you get the chance to do those. 😊
Looks stunning. I bet it's great fun.
It really was! Thanks!
Good to see you back. I would love one of these, budget couldn't quite reach to it though
Thanks Robert, yeah a bit pricey for a toy I guess!
A cheaper alternative for those on a budget check out the ktm 950 & 990 SMR were around way before this bike and were faster too. You should be able to pick one them for less than half price of a new hypermotard
Nice one Dan. I absolutely love the Hypermotard, one of my fave bikes. It's a mad thing, the more you wring it's neck, the better it gets.
Thanks mate!
Not a bike to take out in the rain? Who cares when it rains? Stop thinking in sensible ways! It's a motorcycle, and this is a bike that makes one smile. No matter what!
Thank you Dan!
Yep, not one for the average biker to enjoy in the rain. This bike is most fun when you turn off all the electronics. Do that in the rain, and unless you are a pro rider, this will bite you! Cheers!
I have the 2022 sp but will be selling it soon to make. Way for the triumph moto 2 😁
I've got the sport seat which is 20mm lower. I can flat-foot with my 32 inch inside leg. Fuel tank size isn't an issue (150 mile range), as after 100 miles your clutch hand is ready for a rest.
Why would your clutch hand need a rest? It has an up and down QS. I tested the SP version and the QS worked flawlessly.
@@EfferusZangetsu You still use the clutch, especially in low speed riding in the city. It isn't an automatic. On my RVE I didn't use the QS while running it in (first service today), and I have Evotech short levers which are great, but require a bit more strength to operate. Combined with the Sport seat, which is harder than standard, both my hand and arse are ready for a break after 100 miles, so that's why the 150 mile tank range doesn't bother me.
@@NeonLuvBar I ride such short stints in the city that I always forget to take it into account. Yeah, unless you have an assisted clutch it gets tiresome real fast. Aside from them clutch, how is it to ride at low speeds for longer periods? Is it too jerky?
@@EfferusZangetsu No it's not jerky at all. With the relatively low weight, upright riding position and being well balanced, it's a joy to ride in the city, even when traffic is moving at a crawl. Today when my bike was being serviced, I took out a DesertX and while it was great on the open road, in town it was a bit of a handful with more weight up top.
@@NeonLuvBar I did a longer back to back test ride of a SS, then a Hyper, and my Hyper is coming in 2 weeks. ;)
Lovely Review, what a fun machine, absolute Hooligan.
Height of the tester helps when considering the seat height !
It would help , please !
I did consider getting one but went with the Superduke.
I might get one for the next bike..
Good choice to be fair, love the Superduke!
the 950 feels really weak compared to the 1290 super duke
Have a Gen 3 SDR too, was looking at a Hypermotard SP/RVE or a KTM 690 SMC R for a second bike...still watching reviews to decide...
@@luckyleo88 I bought a 950 SMR next to my super duke 1290, but in hindsight a 690 would have been a better choice for hooning around. I always ride the 950 when riding with my wife (she has a street triple 675) and the 950 is more relaxing to ride (not in attack mode 100% of the time like a 690 or 1290).
One irritating thing for me is the silly graphic on the tank. To me, it reads “Hype”😂
Hermosa 😍
890 Duke R or Hypermotard..🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hi Dan, I have the SP version but seems to struggle in the corners, think suspension is way to hard. did you have yours set up soft
Hi John, stock settings on this bike. I didn't change anything.
I just wonder why the bike doesn't come with a fuel gauge despite its top-spec specs and beautiful TFT display...😅😅😅
Such a shame they ditched the fold out mirrors from the gen 1 - I loved them, much nicer than the mirrors on my gen 2.
you do have a point, sounds awful below 7k RPM 😁
How does it compare to a 1200 dorsoduro?
Imagine if it was like 180kg max.
Like?
I think it might actually be a bit too flighty if it was lighter.
It might have swayed me from buying a SDR if it was but it's not. The SDR has ruined me for all other road bikes. I hate it and love it for that.
Just depends on the weight of the rider I'm not heavy so holding on will be my problem
Nice review, something different
Thanks! 👍
Sports v Supemoto which is the most irrelevant? I'd love to see how many of the bike were sold by Ducati in the past.....year, or whatever.....My guess would be less than 10 - in the UK. I think I might be a little optimistic. Have a go on the Hornet, and compare it to the CB650, please. It's sort of more interesting.
I think they sold more than 10 in a year. Irrelevant perhaps! Fun? Definitely!
10😅😅😅😅 what a donut you are
Love the lairy minimalism. But no fuel gauge?
Yeah, would have been a useful feature.
Looks great, just way too tall for me.
if they did narrow out the seat at the front at the fuel/airbox like the mk1/mk2 daytona 675 was then it would be perfect as high bikes with plenty of space for the legs is awesome for longer outings and when u want to flat foot the ground even when short.
I think there’s a lowered seat available, which will bring it down 20mm to 850mm.
Imagine a bike without fuel gauge in 2023, Ducati too lazy to add even a small icon to the dash.. Sad
Meter kmh?
Kalau sudah tidak digunakan kirim ke aku ya Om....terima kasih
How tall are you? so I can get a better feel of how tall the bike is.
I'm 5 foot 8 inches.
@@Englishbikerdan thanks!!!
Rather have the 2007 Ktm 950cc Super Motard. Less weight and a better sounding V-twin.
and a hell of a lot more maintenance...
Wait for the price of that bike, it comes with a halogen headlight?!?!?!?!?
Xenon or LED requires self adjusting leveling system for the light so I'm guessing that's why. Going to change mine to LED this week...
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Don’t dig the graphics at all.
Wot no stoppies, wheelies or donuts, Dan? 🙄
Another excellent review. The only good thing on this bike is the height, im 1,92. The rest sounds horrible, made for hooligans with too much money and several other bikes to compensate for all that bikes shortcomings.
You ride a Honda sad boy
@@dogknobbler1998 better than riding a DoucheCati, knobgobbler.
As a Ducati owner I’m not a fan of how they sound; the engines are rattly and agricultural sounding.
L twins are lumpy down low, if you can get past that they are good bikes.
The trouble with the name is that it is too close to abusive word du jour-tard.
$90k here. sighs tax
I wouldn't buy it just because of that ugly beak thing. Other than that, I would trade my pretty 797 for it.
👍🤪🇨🇦
I had the sp version for a year, great fun , nice sound with the akrapovic. Sold it and got tuono v4 factory. Trust me there is no comparison. I thought the ducati was good , but compared to the v4 it's very very slow and heavy.
I don't think the two bikes are even in the same category?
@@astorothcr think your mistaken. I think they are for very similar purposes.
The bike looks and sounds amazing! I hope we get to see a review for the 2023 Diavel soon! 🤤😍
I hope so too! Thanks for watching!
That looked like a lot of fun. Fantastic looking machine but with the size of the fuel tank and the price a fuel guage would have been a welcome addition, as I am sure those riding would be making the most of the insanse power and handling
It has a fuel light and the trip meter switches to show km traveller since fuel light. Only takes a couple of rides to sort out how to manage fuel
I get up to 150 miles on a tank. Fuel light comes on with about 25 miles left in the tank. With a heavy clutch I'm more than happy to stop for fuel as my fingers need a rest after 100 miles.
