Streetfighter is naked version of panigale..Honda CB1000r can be called as naked version of naked version of CBR1000rr. monster is a street motorcycle, can it be called naked ? I am not sure, similarly I am not sure hypermotard can be called naked either.. riding position resembles a street / supermoto..
Have ridden both, agree with everything you said on all fronts. The lighter bikes just feel more fun and with that power to weight ratio, even more so. I had a 690 smcr but now own a hyper 698. Both excellent bikes, I prefer the power delivery of the ducati and improved smoothness
@@scoopingjoy3278 in order to get the antiwheelie ducati created for it you need to install the racing exhaust. I use mine with wheelie control set to off. I have read from others that the experience can be inconsistent and can still intimidating if you’re not used to higher lift angles
@@JQiRamos thank you for sharing..so to get wheelie assist, install the full termi system and wheelie assist automatically kicks in with wheelie control set to off ? And no other additional settings.. may I ask with out racing exhaust, and if wheelie control is set to off, does it pop wheelies like 690 smcr ? Or full racing exhaust is a must ?
@@scoopingjoy3278 the bike has 4 levels of wheelie control. When the bike has the stock exhaust, level 1 (least restrictive) does not raise the wheel more than a few inches off the ground. Once you install the racing exhaust and load the ecu remap, level 1 gets replaced with the wheelie assist. If wheelie control is set to off, without the need of changing anything else, the bike is able to do both wheelies either using throttle or clutch up, both being equally controllable in my experience unlike the hyper 950 that prefers power wheelies. This bike is very capable of doing wheelies without any upgrades. Stiffening the suspension helped a lot as well This bike is as easy to wheelie as the 690 and the key difference is would say is that because this motor has less torque, a longer power band, and more peak power at higher rpms, the 698 is able to carry wheelies longer. Because the quickshifter is so smooth, you are able to shift while doing a wheelie and it will not drop the bike as easily as the 690 used to do for me whenever i would try to do the same. The 690 platform makes quickshifter smoother if you are giving it a lot of throttle. If you time your throttle increase mid-wheelie as you shift on a 690, you should be able to mitigate some of the clunkiness you described

In Costa Rica the 701 is $18k and the Ducati $31k. Not possible to compare
@@wencerbc may I ask how much Ducati hyper 698 mono in the market there ?
The Ducati is a naked bike. Nothing more. Nothing less

should be comparing it against the 698 no the 950 ?

Great video! My first time watching your channel and found you gave a great in depth comparison
@@Brody_RaTBoY thank you very much for your comments. Means a lot to me.
Always forged parts are far more superior, durable and strong compared to the machined one.
@@Thediscoball I agree.. it was more of a looks factor than any thing else..to go with husky
outrage at not being able to test these bike at dealers

Both very nice looking bikes...

Am sure you will get the 698 later...haha. good review tho
@@yangs6323 having 2 supermotos is an overkill, but when we have only one life to live, why not before its too late - right ?
Definitely...I'm considering 698 just gotta look at the real bike somewhere in Aug I guess. Btw, I'm from Johor :)
