Thanks for firing her up in the end! Missed that sound. We've got winter vol 2 over here and my bike's been freezing for weeks now outside under the cover...

[@hypermotardking]

Oh no.. winter is a good time to get some changes/upgrades done.. some detailing, ceramic coating, checking nuts n bolts 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MargusMoto]

@@hypermotardking Well yeah, if you've got a garage :D All I've got to work with is an open parking space XD

[@Accost2u]

I contacted TST industries about an integrated tailight. I have had a few of their lights and also happy with them. Hoping they’re able to make a clean design for the 698

[@hypermotardking]

Let me know when thats available too 👍🏻

[@motosportadv8177]

Looks clean and bright !

[@hypermotardking]

Thanks.. its a start 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ClutchFirst]

Looking clean! Still waiting for my radiator guard too.

[@hypermotardking]

Evotech had them in stock on their website - so yeah just waiting. Cheers for your guide, helped me out 👍🏻

[@ChasingTenths]

Very interesting mate Love the set up

[@hypermotardking]

Thanks

[@oligy]

Could you post what parts you installed? Or links to them would be even better. Thanks in advance!

​​@@hypermotardking Hey, what would you suggest me to buy? Hyper 950 or Hyper 698? I'm driving like 4h tours with my friends on supermoto on really curvy terrain and driving to work every day, I dont wheelie or sth like that...

[@hypermotardking]

@@GoehlzBrotherz If your friends have supermotos then get the 698 - problem there is a long wait for new orders, so get the 950 in the meantime 👍🏻

[@GoehlzBrotherz]

@@hypermotardking so 950 is a naked bike which is sold as supermoto? Or does it have some typical features of supermotos? In Germany where I live, you can buy the 698 instant at a store in my region, so it wouldnt need time

[@hypermotardking]

@@GoehlzBrotherz Get the 698 then. The 950 is 50kg heavier and not really a supermoto

[@phresco732]

For anyone that likes to tuck their plate away a little further you can mount the brackets with the swivel point facing towards the bike and then flip the plate frame upside down. There’s enough flex in the metal to do so, just have to crank down on the hardware a little. You can also remove the lights. Hope this helps! kzbin.inforotAPp7Va_k?si=aIoVSrV4x8RJdnCY

[@hypermotardking]

I have the plate already swivelled back on the 698 with NRC kit. The KTM rider is more compliant with the law 😂

[@phresco732]

@@hypermotardking yea I could tell haha

[@guzziman]

Thanks for sharing, love your channel,... hard question, how much better is the 950 on the highway? Is it just 10%, 50% better, or 100% better ? In terms of power and stability, especially in high winds Thanks

[@hypermotardking]

950 is good on highway as it feels more planted being that bit heavier - I’m a small guy so dont feel the wind so much. The biggest issue for me on highway is arm-pump holding that throttle.. hence my navigation always has “avoid motorways”

[@StonkeyKong]

Are you gonna post a side by side comparison of the riding experience of the 950 vs 698? 👀

[@hypermotardking]

I will do.. I need to find a trusted mate who I can ride with and properly compare so get 2 opinions 😂

[@Robbiemoto]

@@hypermotardkingI don’t mind helping out riding an inferior brand if that’s any help. 😉😀

[@hypermotardking]

@@Robbiemoto Hahaa.. we’ll convert you 🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@MrSpacedigital]

What a PITA on the bolts man! HMK custom Gfx req ;)

[@hypermotardking]

Never seen so much red loctite on a noddy tail section 😂😂

[@sabamacx]

Are the 698 and 950 handlebars the same?

[@hypermotardking]

Look and feel on just visuals.. not got any measuring tools out yet to confirm.. but could always do a “parts” comparison?

[@punkmh5088]

Is there already a race airfilter from BMC or K&N or any other? You didn't secure the airfilter, just leave it?

[@hypermotardking]

Wheres it going to go.. the seat sits ontop? I could chop the stock lid to secure it like I did on my 950z - Sprint P08 filters are already available (I have one).. but i want to do proper dyno run tests on stock vs sprint and cover vs no cover

[@garydrummond9129]

@@hypermotardking Oh No! Don't leave your air filter just sitting on top the air box. That massive piston will suck unfiltered air past the lip of the filter. My 1st choice would be to buy a lid from your fellow YT content creator vcycleynut. My 2nd choice would be to sacrifice the stock lid and cut the top of it while leaving the wanted frame to secure the filter.

[@hypermotardking]

@@garydrummond9129 Yeah.. I realised that and will chop up the stock lid 👍🏻

[@paullinton5628]

What are the cables above the screen mate ?

[@hypermotardking]

Brake line and the abs sensor wire.. quite common that “loop” on supermoto’s because of the suspension travel..

[@paullinton5628]

Never seen that before, not sure if I like it or not 🤔

[@hypermotardking]

@@paullinton5628 im not a fan either..

[@AAKhanivore]

I’m not sure whether to go for a 950 or the mono. What would you recommend if you can only have one? Currently am on a monster 1200r which I’d have to sell, can only have one bike.

[@hypermotardking]

I’ve only had the 698 a week, so i havent done eveything i want to make it a fair comparison.. but frkm a 1200r, the Hyper would be the better choice simply because it can do everything and has the power/torque to maintain the fun factor

[@AAKhanivore]

@@hypermotardking thanks. Was thinking I might not get the full supermoto lightweight bike experience with the 950. Monster is lovely - any point in going to the 950? Will have to have a think.

[@chrisk1458]

​@@AAKhanivorei think u will miss the power If u go for the mono. My 950 could need 30-40 HP more to make it a true allrounder for me. But i guess 2 less teeth will do the job, vmax sucks anyway without windshield.

[@AAKhanivore]

@@chrisk1458 thanks very much for sharing that Chris. Much appreciated. I was thinking this too but because I’ve had so few bikes it’s hard for me to tell. I think I’m just spoiled jumping up to the monster r so quickly. I should just stick with it.

[@chrisk1458]

@@AAKhanivorejust test drive the 950 ? :d

[@joaoroussado7943]

What exhaust will you be putting? Cheers

[@hypermotardking]

Definately not the Termi… I like the Austin Racing one.. waiting to see what others come out like SC Project

[@STF_YVR]

@@hypermotardkingWhat’s wrong with the Termi ?

@@STF_YVR £2,000 price tag for a steel pipe and tiny end cans

@@hypermotardking Exactly Termi are a bit not my cup of tea, the AR do look good, I'm waiting on the SC Project but they are yet to launch one for months...I have no idea when they are going to be available. Cheers
