[@Scootir185]

Just picked up my 2020 today. Instantly one of my favorite bikes of life. The engine is so fun at any speed and it’s agile as a kitten. Makes you feel like you’re going much faster than you are in a good way. On the awful Texas roads the dirtbikish suspension just eats up the bad tarmac. Such a good bike. An unappreciated gem IMHO. Nice review Yammie!!

[@Scootir185]

@Patrick-papi It’s still fantastic. 22000 miles on it and still super fun. Had my regular maintenance done on the bike and it’s been super reliable. Would recommend, would buy again.

[@e.s.6617]

Not the same at all but I did buy a 15' 821 hyper as my first street bike. It's served me incredibly well and feels familiar to my dirt experience. Even though you're saying, and it might be the case, that this is a substantially upgraded and improved version of my 821 it still gives you that grin that you got while riding it. There's something about these bikes that are unlike any other.

[@JGandolfi]

I own the 939. The throttle is catchy during roll on, but this isn't a cruiser... I grew up on motorcycles but this was the first one I've owned. What a blast

[@NudaMan]

JGandolfi the first bike is a Ducati??? Good choice my friend 👌

[@yammienoob]

It's not just that, it's lurchy and unpredictable at 10-20% throttle after roll-off. It's doesn't do what you expect it to. It feels a bit artificial and confused.

[@GrtSatan]

@@yammienoob Heard a reply that the sketchy throttle could be remedied with a couple of spacers. This makes no sense for an electronic system, much more likely to be a software issue in the FI or the throttle itself. My take on traction control, ABS, and power modes is that they are like CGI in movies, when it's working properly you don't know it's there. I have them all on my 790 Duke and have locked the rear tire under hard braking and broken it loose under hard acceleration, all while traction and braking were supposedly under electronic control. These systems are not infallible.

[@JGandolfi]

@@yammienoob Can't say I disagree there. But you can change the riding mode and the "ride by wire" eases off. I've wanted to throw some termi's on mine for years but $2000+... Maybe someday :) Love your content man.

I also have a Desert Sled but am on the verge of transitioning to this bike. Fills some of the power void in my heart for my sold S1000RR and Super Duke R while maintaining the dirt bike riding position. Since I had an 899 Panigale as well back in he day, guess you can officially call me a Ducatista.

[@hollandmiller4625]

[@looneyflight]

Got me a 2021 last year. My 2nd bike coming from a Sportster. Amazingly fun. I popped a slight power wheelie shifting into 4th gear at full throttle by accident the other day. Been daily driving it since gas prices been going up. Way more fun in back and city roads. You can turn the electronics all the way up and just drive everywhere at full throttle and it'll keep the front wheel down and the tires from losing traction on loose terrain accelerating or decelerating. The quick shifter got me spoilt too. I only pull the clutch for stopping. The other thing I noticed was your rev limiter going orange which usually only happens during break in or when the bike is cold for me. Unless it was the mode you were riding in.

[@bharris0128]

In 4th? I have a '21 SP and it will power wheel in 2nd only if you transfer the weight back while the power hits. No chance in 3rd and definitely not in 4th. No complaints though - I love it. I don't even think a SuperDuke will 4th gear power wheelie.

[@looneyflight]

@@bharris0128 it hasn't happened since so maybe I hit a crest in the road just right or something. IDK if me not weighing very much has anything to do with it. Maybe I'll see if I can setup my GoPro and record it. Maybe I'll find out I was wrong and it actually happened in 3rd. I don't live near the same hilly twisties anymore either. So can't go back to the same spot.

[@nikhildrao227]

[@LuhZenCo]

This looks beautiful

[@bradleyland]

Test rode a Monster 1200S back to back with a Hypermotard 950 (non-SP), and man, what a contrast. I thought of you when I was on the Hyper, Yammie. This bike just kind of rides like your vlog sounds lol. The Hyper feels quick, but the Monster 1200S is just full on bonkers. Personally, I found the Hyper more fun because you feel everything a bit more. Sitting up so high, you really feel like you're carrying crazy lean angles, even when you're just puttering around. IMO, it's the height and riding position that make this bike so much fun, combined with the wonderfully torquey engine and the glorious sounds it makes. If Ducati had a dealer in Asheville, I'd be all over this bike. I'm just not willing to ride over an hour every time I need service.

[@danielcortes6077]

[@007juanmartinez]

[@magnuslikestanks6044]

I wish I had a starter bike that cool. Enjoy it, but be careful out there!

[@bluewker]

Nito Martinez does it handle drops well? Lots of aftermarket equipment for cages or sliders?

[@007juanmartinez]

bluewker yes it handles drops well, I’ve actually dropped it twice, once during a u turn, and other stationary. The hand guards took all the hit on both occasions, durning the u turn the shifter did bend alittle but no damage to the paint or water pump, can’t even tell it’s been dropped lol

[@anonanon4109]

Sorry this is late but I was wondering if I should buy one as my first bike. Is it too much in the reduced power modes because at full power it makes as much as an r6. I’d love to hear what you have to say about it!

[@Langdanion]

& the RapidBike EVO autotuner & the RapidBike up/down quickshifter, REALLY smooth out that “all on” feel from the ride by wire... highly recommend

a question popped into my head, now you have the Busa, do you feel that the more you're getting used to it you feel smaller bikes are slower than they would otherwise have felt? I had a Ducati 900 super sport and my 2003 Busa and the Ducati, while a nice and very capable bike, didn't feel as good as it might have if i was only used to a smaller 400cc ( for example) bike, but now that i've owned my Busa for 15 years what is 'normal' riding power for me isn't what it used to be 25 years ago or more

[@grimtube]

@@GrtSatan there is no problem with the throttle, it's the typical slack you can adjust with one screw on a normal throttle. since this is ride by wire you must use spacers. most people like the throttle as is, some change it. i also wouldnt compare the duke 790 to this bike, the hypermotard is a different beast, but also costs alot more.

[@pillage8662]

>hypermotard >sophisticated pick one

[@mathias6423]

I still like the look of the old Hypermotard 939, maybe even a little bit more than this new 950, with how the exhaust is wrapped around the engine and all. But the changes to the engine in the 950 (80% of all it's torque already from 3000revs) is just to good to pass on. Many that tested the 939 Hypermotard said that it was missing a lot of torque down low and that it first came alive in the middle rev range which was disappointing in that bike. So because of that the 950 is the better choice. The standard 950 from 2019 - present is becoming cheap on the used market and is more than capable on the street. The suspension on the standard one is fully adjustable and you can add a quickshifter to it. Just a full exhaust system and a ecu flash on that bike and you have an amazing streetbike that sounds gr8 and goes like stink =)

[@chrisk1458]

Cheap? Lol i bought new sp cause the used ones are fucking overpriced af

I have a feeling that dead zone in the throttle has to do with a more aggressive map in the top two modes.. I would be interested if it goes away in Urban mode, as when you switched out of Urban you started talking about it...

"It's not having trouble keeping up in traffic." Lol. I'd be more concerned about the overall plantedness of it on extended freeway riding if I was going to take it on longer rides down those kinds of roads.

[@Branflakes1234]

I own a 939, the jerky lurchy engine issue is very much a result of tuning. The power delivery almost gives a little bit of a 2 stroke feel, with torque hitting hard around 6k RPM, BUT with a tune, the torque is constant across the rev range and rides insanely better
