Between this 950SSS and the Hyper SP they are my two favorite street bikes ever made. My opinion formed after owning over 150 bikes from thumpers to Panigale's. DO NOT overlook this bike because of horse power figures. It feels like 150HP and handles amazingly well and it is comfortable. The ONLY dig I have is no cruise control. This 937 engine is soooo good.
I was gonna get a supersport but for not that much more cash I got an sfv2 instead… and as much as I love the streetfighter, could have gotten the supersport or even the monster and saved some coin for the primary use case that I have (street/city 90% of the time) But I ain’t complaining just informing…
@@colin55594 it's painful to ride the V2.. The SS is really that slow? I had a GSXR600 before the V2 and noticed the huge jump in HP and Torque. If the SS had the V2 engine, it'd be perfect.
excellent vid + thx. They still have not fixed the mirror vibration - what do you recommend to customers for a solution? Do you think ducati will ever get a cruise control option for this bike? people like me have to ride 4-6 hrs to get to mtn roads. the tank is a little small just over 4 gallons - and almost 2 grand for that travel pkg with the panniers. hand warmers and larger windscreen. Even with all those problems, I really want this bike LOL thx again
Your reviews are great! please do a a more in depth review on the passenger seat of the 950s compared to panigale v2 and streetfighter v2. Want my wife to be comfortable when riding and I have it down to these three options.
I was considering this bike but I settled on a MT09 SP "22. Pros and cons to both bikes but there is no doubt the Duke is gorgeous to look at. Maybe one day I will buy one.
I think so. I’m 5ft7in and it’s easy to ride. It doesn’t feel tall. It’s decently narrow too. Seat is comfortable - both soft and nicely curved. My other bike is a Yamaha R3 which I started on. The R3 is a little lower and lighter but the SuperSport 950 is really not much taller. Maybe 1 inch taller. And although the SS950 is a bit heavier than my starter bike, it still feels pretty light for what it is.
The SuperSport 950S and Shahin are both so dreamy. 🤩
These are facts 🫡

First bike, got it last week. If it had another 40 hp I would marry it
I have the Panigale V2 and seriously swapping it for this, but worried about the power/torque decrease
@colinoz don't get it. I sold it for a tuono v4. Bike is really slow.

@@colin55594 tuono v4 is a huge step up!
@@colin55594 You must just spend all your time on highways. This has plenty of people anywhere else.

It's beautiful
Are the indicators LED as well?✌🏽
Yes, they are ⚡
I just built up a head of steam watching this.
Is it short people friendly?

Heavy as F. Lack of effect but not to bad. Nice low rpm power
Would get this bike to learn all over turned 40 thinking this buy white and looking lowrider st
