I’m a Communist California resident, and I’ve been in a lot of motorcycle shops. Recently I was in Texas and it wouldn’t been complete without walking into a motorcycle shop. You guys by far were the most friendliest, most knowledged group of guys I have ever met. Better than any experience I have ever had an any shop in the communist State of California.

950 will power wheelie in 1st with the slightest crack of the throttle. Is the 698 the same way?

I've ridden two 698 RVE's and they have the most annoying engine 'ticking' sound whilst riding. Audible on acceleration and decel' too. I'm concerned this will lead to some kind of advanced wear in the engine. It's grating with me so bad I'm considering a change of bike. Otherwise, once maps are developed to sort the lower rev range, it's a nice bike. Have you guys noticed the engine tick?

Hello! This is exactly the video I was looking for. Thanks for that. I have a quick question for you. I am on a KTM Duke 890R, and I'm in love with the precision turning and chance to hooligan on it. Now in the very soon future I am looking to jump ship over to Ducati and I'm looking for a bike that's very comparable to the 890R. Would you say that the 698 is as close as I can get in the current ducati line up? My riding style is I like to track my bike on a gocart track (lots of low speed technical turns with a short straight), and just general hooliganing on canyon roads which the 890 just eats up. The 950 doesn't seem like the same kind of bike as the 890 Duke. Is this a correct assumption? EDIT: I Should have just waited for the video to finish..........You answered exactly the question i asked.....oops!!!! Great video

You guys also added the supercorsas :) I have mine set up the same way. Just had mine out this weekend and streets of willow and 100% agree with you how fun the bike is on track. Also with the quickshifter and full Termi, the sounds the bike makes are just ridiculous 😂 This might be my favorite Ducati I have and I have a V4R, SF SP2 and Pikes Peak V4…

Why, why why can I not find a midsized V or L twin in the SM bike world?? Is Aprilia the only ones to have done it? DuckDuck totally missed the mark by using the thumper single engine configuration. (imo) a 600cc twin would absolutely be badass with a more playful, flick-ier wet weight. Anyone?
@kaptainkyle70Ай бұрын
The SVX 450/550s weren’t exactly the model for reliably and longevity. I’m hoping they make a plated 450 SM using their MC bike that can handle being dumped in the dirt on occasion.

Sales people dont understand that the best way to sell something is to gain the confidence of the customer by talking about the negatives also. Just saying how wonderful a bike is means Ducati made a mistake producing anything else but this bike! No they didnt, so balance the sales talk with what the target use case is and what its not. Bingo! More aligned salesperson with the customer = more trust. Seems like a really great guy to go for a ride with though...!

Had a similar category KTM SMC 690R and traded it for a Hypermotard SP 950R. No regrets. These singles are super fun but I would put them in a category of "Novelty bikes". They are more vibey. They are more uncomfortable. They seem best for local/short spurts and sprints. The Hyper 950R CAN cover more ground--literally and serve as a better all-round bike. To me these are second bikes--but then I do have a second bike: Pikes Peak for wife and travel. Just my opinion but I have owned and used both types for 5000++ miles.
