Fully Modded Ducati 950s Supersport - First Ride

I get to take a friends decked out 950s Supersport for a first ride. This thing has Ducabike everything, Carbon fiber everything, Ohlins front and rear, auto blipper. It's pretty dang sweet. Let me know what you think.

[@chrisvantassel8867]

I have ridden both the 950S and the V2 Pannigale. For the street the 950s all day long IMHO. Both are great bikes but even the V2 P does not start seeing power until 8k and above. The SS has torque everywhere, much more fun on the street

[@saddle8bag]

Prezactly. The newer oversquare engines are made to be ridden on tracks where you can keep them pinned. The old Testastretta is a far better engine for a street bike.

Fuel gauge top left of the screen BTW. It even counts down the mileage when you get low.

[@JohnDoe-zo5tu]

That's the best-looking Supersport 950 I've ever seen. May I suggest a smoked windscreen, though?

[@900BEN]

Desmo Marcel..Just in case you don't know . If you takes seat off and look at underneath at rear , there are 4 hoops you can turn out to attach luggage to . Or a seat hump type like I have fir buts and bobs . Then you can get rid of tank bag

[@sleeper.simulant7327]

The SS950 is a lot more upright than a Japanese supersport. On those the rear sets are further back and up higher, the seat height is higher, and the clip ons are mounted below the triple tree on the fork tubes, not on top of the triple clamp. That makes for a much more leaned forward more on top then sitting in position. Plus the stock seat is wicked cushy, a Japanese super sport style has a piece of plywood with leather wrapping in comparison. This bike is the perfect balance of leaned forward and upright in my opinion. It’s more like a VFR800 in terms of ergonomics. It’s a little aggressive, but not real super sport or super bike aggressive… it’s more sporty sport tourer…

[@DesmoMarcel]

Yeah I hear you, it does seem to be a really well balanced riding position

[@trogytrog3558]

Exactly

[@trogytrog3558]

Super sports with sports handle bars ❤

[@joshhargis3119]

I used to live in AG years ago, we should go riding sometime! I have a 24 V4 in AZ. In your video you actually pass by my house lol

[@DesmoMarcel]

Crazy! Small world man. if you’re ever back on the coast let me know we’ll have to go for a ride

[@reinierangeles2854]

😮 thats my dreambike supersport.

[@DesmoMarcel]

It’s a good one, definitely an attainable dream bike

[@user-px3kq3sh3o]

Nice bike..!!!

[@nizmo7662]

Can you please link the tail tidy bracket plate holder?

[@DesmoMarcel]

Not sure where he got it as it’s not my bike 🤷‍♂️ sorry bud

[@flipkoofx1137]

Nice backroads. Is this NorCal?

[@DesmoMarcel]

Central Coast, Ca 👍

[@user-oc5je8iu5r]

What mirrors you got like them good looking bike

[@DesmoMarcel]

They are motogadget m.view blade mirrors (technically not a mirror just highly polished metal)

[@anhad8311]

You're friends with Micah? Do you even know what he did to Arthur??!!

[@ryanstockton-do6lf]

What rearsets are on it?

[@DesmoMarcel]

Pretty sure they were Ducabike rearsets, as everything on this bike was. Not sure they were installed correctly by PO though, the rear brake was impossible to touch

[@brandonboseman4184]

@@DesmoMarcel yeah they are ducabike but you're right he doesn't have them setup very well. Everything is fully adjustable on those, just need to be setup right. Were you even riding in sport mode? A lot more fun in sport with the akra up map...

[@youtubeisasshoe8153]

Ducatis sound like ATVs 😂

[@carlm4917]

Can you compare it with streetfighter v2? Which is better?

[@DesmoMarcel]

I haven’t actually gotten to ride a Streetfighter V2 yet. My guess is the the SFV2 will feel “newer” less “raw” but more refined especially with all the new electronics. I’ll have to try and get my hands on one

[@brandonboseman4184]

SFv2 is definitely faster but way less comfortable to ride and definitely does not feel more refined than the 950S.

[@MrRGM10]

Sf v2 is more raw. Driven both. Easier to live Ss tuning is more comfortable and linear for a twin

[@avinashvinod131]

Owner of a SS 2022 ,can agree with @chrisvantassel8867, it's a fun bike with torque everywhere.perfect bike for the street! love it. looking forward to get those akra twins. they look dope af. This has to be the best modded SS i've ever seen ❤

[@chrisvantassel8867]

I am very close to buying a SS. I have a Hyper 950SP and a Desert X with the same basic engine. It is between that engine and the Super Duke 1290 engine that are my favorites for the street.
