Riding to the Heart of Motorsport: Assen Road Trip Adventure on my Ducati Hypermotard 950 SP

So, the final track day series of the year is here and it was a Euro event held at TT Assen - The Cathedral of Speed!
I decided to use this opportunity to actually ride with my gear and luggage from the midlands in UK to Harwich, catch a 7 hour ferry and then from Hook of Holland all the way to Assen in less than 18 hours all on Sunday 24th Sept 2023.
This video documents that journey and proves the Hyper is more than capable with the right modifications. However, I will state it was hard work and holding that throttle for over 6 hours without cruise control gives some serious arm pump!
Stay tuned for this mini series, and remember to like, comment and suubscribe!

would be better if no music or less music especially on that ships ride, the ambient sound entering the boat n exiting etc etc

[@hypermotardking]

always a tough one to have music over sections which i think might be boring to the audience - hit and miss i guess

[@Desmo-Gaming]

Welcome in Holland! Quick question. Your headlight is not stock, LED I guess? Can you share the product? + you drive with high beam? Does it only has high beam?

[@hypermotardking]

Thanks.. yes I run an LED upgrade - video here with product in description: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKrNd3iFeaifa68si=IX83hiMe4IERGQa9

[@hypermotardking]

@@voidbsky7611 I use a fixed gopro mount on the undertray with the J-hooks and attache the straps there..

[@hypermotardking]

Rear light or i fix a gopro mount to under tail and use that

[@Odfjtop]

Great video! Saw a hypermotard on the street yesterday and looks so good! Can i ask what luggage bag you have there? Looks neat

[@hypermotardking]

[@hypermotardking]

[@Craigravon]

[@hypermotardking]

Its like a hyper naked i guess.. similar to an MT10 in power/weight.. looks a good all round bike

[@ChasingTenths]

great video mate, was a pleasure to share the track with you

[@hypermotardking]

Cheers.. alot more content to upload

[@PRgencoupe]

Just bought my 2023 SP and I’ve been watching your videos to get Inspo. That phone mount looks great, which one is it ?

[@hypermotardking]

Congrats and thanks - it was this from Amazon: Lamicall Motorcycle Phone Holder... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09MT4N4HW?

[@Ronburgundy75]

I’ve done the LED headlight upgrade after watching your video before, and also get the flashing blue main beam icon on the dash. It seems to work ok, so I’m not sure what causes it to do that???

[@hypermotardking]

Its weird when it catches your end the bright blue light 😂

[@gordonatkins9135]

Hi Kal great video, I live in Norfolk now moved from Cambridgeshire and the light is so different and air quality. You’re very welcome to stop here for the night if you’re going again, love to go myself….🏍️🏍️

[@hypermotardking]

Aahh cheers mate.. its so beautiful on that side of the country 👌🏼

[@gabirel7305]

Hypermotard950 Why is the engine malfunction light on

[@hypermotardking]

Because im using a 14T front sprocket and need the sensor recalibrating

[@TheMickeyDK]

What’s the tyres - and why that choice?

[@hypermotardking]

Pirelli MT60-RS… i use them for off-road and touring just to get out of any trouble

[@TheMickeyDK]

👀 ohh off road, I’d love to see some more vids of that on the hyper - and especially how the suspension gets to max softness to cope

[@HyperS1B]

Proper adventure now! 👍🏼. Was it just the exit gas that burnt strap? Sides fine? Want to do same 😂

[@hypermotardking]

Sides fine.. its either the exit gas or where it may have rubbed against the side of the end can - or a combination 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@dharyamananklesaria]

Awesome Ride... What was the best was the Sun Rise.... Did that blind you for a bit ???

[@hypermotardking]

Yeah probably not ideal for visbility but lucky theres lots of tree’s that break it up 😎

[@renzo908]

Great video, great to see the hyper can be use to travel long distance lol. I've been watching your videos now for few weeks since I recently bought a Hyper 950, looking for ideas on mods and stuff :P Question about the Hyper, in low rpms the handle bar shakes a bit too much for my liking, so I was wondering if that is normal on a two cylinders? or in the Hypers? Same when I'm driving fast and let go the throttle it shakes a bit much too. I'm in the break in period so, I'm thinking is that but what is your opinion? Thanks :)

[@hypermotardking]

Thanks.. 👍🏻 It does have a tendancy to do that.. I have all but eliminated it by adding a steering damper and softening up the suspension (to my rider weight)

[@renzo908]

@@hypermotardking thanks for the reply. I ws planning on adding the steering damper after the first service. Thanks 😊

[@gilvietor1918]

That headlight does a marvelous job

[@hypermotardking]

Swap to LED makes a difference
