I have the supersport 950 since march 22 and I absolutely love it to bits. It's gorgeous ❤

[@tomboyabit]

It’s amazing!

[@debenhamdave4314]

I have owned my Supersport S for over 5 years, with the high bars and sensible 113bhp she's an easy ride great looking an sounds fantastic with Termignoni exhaust, I have done long distance tours and the bike is comfortable all day in the saddle. Great video thanks

[@tomboyabit]

That’s exactly why I want one. I want a versatile bike. As a full time motorcycle KZbinr I need one! I enjoyed even bad roads on Supersport. I want to ride all cross Italy on it!

[@tonykeast9966]

Every bit of this was a joy. You upping your game on the perfect bike for the job. Nice work Ducati UK! What a reaction!! A simple ride and a visit to the church of Parry. Bliss. Simon's big passion for the Bologna bikes shines through. Tapping into all that Duc experience is gonna raise the game AGAIN on this channel. Superb stuff. The first bike i ever had in my garage was a 93 750SS. Soft spot here for the SS's mentioned (the era Simon speaks about was my era when Ducati superbikes ruled the world) and this new one is a do all beauty for Di to suss out. I've stayed hooked though the later eras Simon is lightly salted about 😂. So funny.

[@daveballam8704]

Nice to hear some of simon's history

[@bsmukler]

The Ducati addiction begins (It’s a good one!) 😊

[@leswatson8563]

Morning Tomboy_a_bit. Back in the 1980s two of our mates bought Ducati's. The raw power of them bikes really hit the wow factor. Good luck on your tack skills girl 👌. Enjoy, and safe riding till next time 👍😊.

[@mattkeay9236]

Simons parallel arm tip is so good. Improved my feel for what the front end is doing so much. I’m more confident to now take more speed in to corners which has made my overall riding much more smoother 👍

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Stay tuned for more tips, we all have a lot to learn 😊👍👍👍👍

You are going to love this, you have the perfect build and long legs to hold onto that tank and take the pressure of your arms and wrists enjoy

[@lylemacdonald6672]

If you have not yet read it, take a look at Hunter S. Thompson's Ducati review "Song of the Sausage Creature". Or, as Hunter said at another time; "Faster, faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death." Motorcycles are your drug and Hunter saw fast ones as a true addiction.

I used that quote a few times!!! 😃 Need to read it!

[@davidwilliamson4530]

Diemante, i had to watch this twice. Totally enjoy all the videos you make and show here, use to own a GTS 860.

[@RayGreen94510]

Deimante it is always so wonderful to experience your excitement and enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing.

[@alphacapo]

Confident as fuck when loading that bike. Hes done that more than hes wanted too

[@charlesemerson6763]

You are one lucky girl. That Duke was a joy to see. All this time watching you, that sounds creepy, following you sounds worse but I'll go with that, never knew Simon was a Ducatista. I had one way back in the early 80's a 900S2. Bit of a disaster of a bike as it was when Ducati were going through severe tribulations. Needless to say it took a year to actually sort out the bike properly, including sending the engine 4000klms away to get it fixed, yes Australia is a big place. But in the end it was all worth it till someone else decided they wanted it more than me.

[@leoblais8371]

Great Video. Thank you!

[@nairbyad7188]

nice bike and video. that's my next bike for certain. black cameras, black guns, black motos; she doesn't notice upgrades for sure! those boring flat roads will flatten your tires in little time.

[@mikep.9371]

Hope all is cured when you next attempt to get Jonsey going and mot'd. Glad Simon adjusted levers to help with reach and a properly straight back of the hand too. I'm guessing your leathers will have a red flair to them. Hope you had a good weekend D.

[@tomboyabit]

This was my weekend 😍😍

[@stanshaffer5629]

Another nice video! Track Day on the Ducati? Yes, Valentino! ❤

[@boogboog8097]

Saw a youtuber give good advice on loading bikes onto trailers or vans, have a wide enough ramp that you can walk right up next to it, take care 👍

[@joebloggs1317]

@tomboy_a_bit Sorry for repeating myself, but you need to start riding in a higher gear, you want to learn how to corner quicker, safer, have a better exit speed, then pick one gear higher than you think you need, maybe even two, the torque of the motor will pull you out of a turn. Riding in such low gears gives you instant acceleration/ deceleration and will upset the poise of the bike. When you touch the throttle the front will rise and off the throttle it will dive, now entering a corner slowly (speed required to negotiate the turn) is fine as there's no need to alter your road position or likelihood of having to lean the bike further/alter speed through the bend. Smooth is fast. You enter a corner and find it has a decreasing radius, your entry speed is now too fast, and you will need to scrub some speed to negotiate the turn without running wide. With your low gear, backing off, the throttle is going to load up the front end and put an unknown amount of torque through the rear, it may be enough to reduce your momentum to allow you to retain your lean angle and make it through, but I will tell you, it won't feel good. A higher gear gives you more options, the bike is stable, and reducing throttle has less effect. OK so you are still going too fast to complete the turn so you need to brake, this is down to personed preference, but I prefer the front (If anyone suggests you should never touch the front in a corner refer to trail braking) ease it on slowly to gently compress the forks then hard enough to reduce your speed to get round the corner. Now another thing you need to learn is counteracting the force of using the front brake while leaning, on most bikes touching the front will have the bike try to stand up, obviously this is a bit of a problem if you're trying to correct your line/speed round a turn. So, you need to us counter steer to cancel out this force. Now, finding out your bike want's to stand up mid-corner isn't the best way of learning, so I'd suggest trying this on a nice open wide straight, gently weave from left to right applying enough front brake to get the bike to react, as you feel the front start to lift, push on the inside bar (left or left turn and right for right) this way you should be able to maintain your weave by applying the right amount of force required to keep your bike under control.

Now it becomes clear why Simon is not keen on BMW; he is a loyal Ducati aficionado.

[@ComputerGeekOnTwoWheels]

I test rode a Ducati SuperSport a few years ago and it was too small for my frame. I currently ride a Ducati 998 and wanted to add a modern superbike to my collection with anti-lock and other rider aides, but the SuperSport just didn't fit me. You seem to fit perfectly and are in perfect sync with the bike. How tall are you?

[@dantimber]

Are they hot in traffic as owners say?

[@TheAdventuresofPhilJones]

Wait until you ride the Panigale V4S 🤪🔥

[@bensteel3944]

Did I miss something? What are you trying to fix with chemical metal? Awesome bike by the way.

[@Vforfreedom]

It’s funny how he’s complaining about the 999 but the 999F won or more races and Superbike titles in WSBK and BSB then the 916 generation did! 205 hp out of a twin back then from 2003-2006. The street going 999 looked liked ahit but the 999RS/999F was a bloody work of art!! I race one

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Checking those stats now. But of course it's my personal opinion, I just didn't like working on them, I didn't like the electronics, I found them difficult to ride(compared to "916" gen chassis) They were ugly, the exhaust were horrible.... I could go on but it's just personal. I think the 999 didn't run as long as the hyper stuff so I'm sure it didn't win as many championships 🤔 but definitely will look into that. 😊👍👍👍👍

[@Vforfreedom]

@@MINTCUSTOM5 Not in WSBK but I am talking about WSBK and BSB together. Given the 3 years in it won more races and championships than the 916/996 untill they switched to the 998 which is still a 999. the 999 street going bike sucks! I'm talking about the 999F. completely different animal shares nothing at all with the street going version.

[@joebloggs1317]

Twist of the wrist is a must for all riders, what Keith Code wrote takes years of riding to learn without his instruction. I don't ride particularly fast, I stay below the ton but keep my speed up with fast cornering and faster exit, riders don't understand why I disappear out of the turns, but they just don't get on the gas at the right time.
