Likes and Dislikes Hypermotard 950SP (Part 1)

After owning my Hypermotard 950SP since December of 2019, I came up with a list of likes and dislikes. In Part 1 I discuss the things I like about my bike as well go in-depth detail as to why. Some of the topics include: the looks, the variety of riding styles, the handling, the electronics, and the single sided swing arm. In an upcoming video (Part 2), I will be discussing what I don't like about my bike. If you have any questions feel free to comment. Thanks again for watching! Make sure to like and subscribe.

Love those austin racing exhaust setup . And the twin exhaust is amazing.

[@myhypermotard8351]

Thank you, it sounds a lot better in person. Thanks for commenting, ride safe..

[@gstheory]

Videos getting better and better, bro!

[@myhypermotard8351]

Thank you, it’s a work in progress. I learn something new as I go.

[@merez6884]

Love the looks of this bike, I always wanted a husqvarna nuda 900r but since I'm in Canada that's nearly impossible for me to get but this bike resembles it quite a lot

[@myhypermotard8351]

If you haven’t ridden one , you should go test ride one. You will be surprised at how much fun this thing is to ride. It definitely is a beast in sport mode. Thank you for commenting.

Thank you. Like I said an absolute beast of a bike. I would definitely buy it again.

Love your channel, I'm seriously considering this bike.. coming from a z1000 kawasaki

[@harshambaliya8649]

This is somewhere perfectly in d middle of naked,rally,supermoto and adv so much fun to ride with that weight and that power and that riding posture and suspension.This and KTM 890 rally r are my dream bike. Ps:Perfect amalgamation of every thing Ducati makes.One day for sure I wud own this beauty

Buffotube YT Awesome, please let me know how you like it. It seems to be really nice.

[@robertdavis4761]

Beautiful bike!! Are the Austin Racing slip-ons or full system?? Love Austin Racing sound but would prefer the simplicity and cost savings of a slip on.

[@myhypermotard8351]

They are slip ons only . I didn’t want to get the full system because it would require remapping which would have voided my 2 year warranty and my 3 year service plan. As it is, it sounds amazing, the video never really captures the true sound.

[@particleconfig.8935]

Your enthusiasm speaks, love it. Can you say what body length you are? (wish all reviewers would state that so we can estimate ourselves with the bike and the size of the bikes in general) Thanks man !

Loved my 939SP but sold it as the ECU was too snatchy. I heard the 950 is much more manage.. What seat do you have on yours?

[@myhypermotard8351]

I have the lowered seat. I made a video on the different options.

[@kalheer]

Nice video.. made me order one for myself.. what rear tail tidy/fender kit is that? Goes well with the ARacing exhausts

[@myhypermotard8351]

NRC tail tidy.

[@kalheer]

@@myhypermotard8351 Yeah I found your other video.. Thanks 👍🏻

[@Apollo11ification]

Does anyone know in centimeters the width of the handlebar?

[@jasonmorris7714]

Great bike! How did you fix the number plate down so low? And does it hit the rear fender when suspension goes down? Where can I get those indicators? 👍🏽

[@myhypermotard8351]

I get asked those questions a lot. Check out the comments on this video where I answer those questions. (New Austin Exhaust Installation video) As far as the fender , I soften the suspension quite a bit and yes It did hit once. It actually improved it because it bent the license plate slightly which looks like it was made that way. Now it never touches anymore . In fact someone asked me if I had had the license plate especially made like that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eImminRuea5me68 If there is anything else I can answer for you let me know. Thank you for the comment.

[@myhypermotard8351]

The indicators are from new rage cycles motowheels.com/i-23904329-new-rage-cycles-fender-eliminator-ducati-hypermotard-950-sp.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwnK36BRBVEiwAsMT8WAGjsWMcLRmj_EQSkA0l-Ur7s9VpNlxGh9wtiTmA8nQ2pzolQ6uoYBoCdNkQAvD_BwE

[@goncalobarros4124]

Can I ask you how did you put the license plate like that?Any kind of stand you bought or was handmade?

[@myhypermotard8351]

I got this from Amazon. Official Feniex Fusion Surface... www.amazon.com/dp/B06X9ZSLRX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share The stand is a Pitbull Stand.

Great content seen a couple of your vids now 👍 . I have plenty of experience but not a wheelie merchant ( which l was 😂) , l love the style and look of this bike and l know it has wheelie control but would it be too much for a regular rider ? Your honest answer (s) would be appreciated - l currently have a (very heavy😃) Triumph Rocket 3R - cheers.

[@myhypermotard8351]

If you have been riding for a long time as you say, you will love the bike. I use it mostly for commuting and wouldn’t trade it for anything else. It’s an awesome ride.

Do you think is possibile to lower the bike from the fork or from the rear mono? Furthermore the seat

I was advised by several people not to lower the bike that way because it would never handle the same again.

[@PedroMarotti]

Funny you say yours has the 3 different riding modes... mine´s only got Sport mode 😂

[@myhypermotard8351]

Sport mode is a beast, but not good in heavy traffic. I tried it and it's too jerky for close maneuvering.

[@PedroMarotti]

@@myhypermotard8351 I daily mine and it’s always in sport :) for me could even have a few extra hp 🤭

[@myhypermotard8351]

@@PedroMarotti I used to always be in Sport mode until one day I tried Urban and noticed how much smoother it was in heavy traffic. Once I am out of traffic, it goes back to sport. I also commute 60 miles each way. Urban saves a a lot more gas. If I'm in Sport, it won't make 120 plus miles. In Urban, it gets me back without the gas light going on. It is a big difference what mode your in on long commutes. I only want to stop for gas once on the way to work.

Braaaaap, braaaaap, braaaaaaaaaap. I can only imagine.

[@zakandoz9614]

Love this bike. Thinking about getting one, but considering two things. 1. I'm 5'10" so the tall seat height is intimidating. 2. Does it get super hot? I had a 959 Panigale that would cook my legs.

[@myhypermotard8351]

I never have problems with heat. I do ride with ridding pants and they are vented as well. At 5’10 you should be good. I’m 5’8.

[@cameronsweis9270]

I’m 5 7 and my husky 701SM has a seat height is 35.2 inches and I daily it. Ducati 950sp is a 34.1 inch seat…. You’ll be fine 😂

Sure how much are those slip ons please?

[@jazzy19840623]

How is heat management on this? Thanks

[@myhypermotard8351]

Ziyi Jiang A. If you mean if the bike over heats , no. I have been commuting in over 100 F and it has never over heated. If you are referring to the heat coming off the bike making my legs hot, not a problem at all. I use nice all weather ridding gear and have never experienced heat at a point that it bothers me. Let me know if I answered your questions. Thank you.

[@jazzy19840623]

My Hypermotard thanks for your reply. I had a 2019 xdiavel - my butt didn’t like it as much as I did. The seat was so hot when getting to 90F while the legs are OK. I thought with HYPERMOTARD being a smaller engine, this bike might be acceptable in warm seasons.

[@myhypermotard8351]

Ziyi Jiang Yeah, this bike is very comfortable in all weather conditions.
