I BOUGHT A 2020 DUCATI HYPERMOTARD!!

I said I'd buy my first motorbike for Christmas. And it's a Ducati!! I rode down to Motoline to get Michelin Road 5 tyres installed and talk you through why I bought this Ducati. The perfect end to an epic journey with Michelin. What an amazing experience and I can't wait to get more confident on 2 wheels!

I remember I picked up my first bike in November. On the day there was terrential rain and absolutely flooded roads. TRUST ME, learning to ride in those conditions all throughout November to probably February, was the best thing I could have asked for! If you can ride well in the wet, you can ride 10x better when it's dry.

I was worried you went for the Diavel... This is a fantastic choice mate, love it. Please take it easy. Drove for over a decade with no accidents and once I got on a bike I couldn't get through a year without breaking something in 3 years of riding ... Ride slow and safe mate.

[@MrBTRDAYZ]

Here in the United States, when I was a kid, TV channel ABC had a show called ABC Wide World of Sports. Came on each Sunday if I remember correctly. On WWS, they had an annual event called The SuperBikers. This event would gather the top racers from each motorcycling racing segment: flattrackers, motocross and road racers. They developed a track that was a combination (in various segments) of each of their native racing environments. Then the bikes they equipped them with were basically dirtbikes with street racing tires. They let these guys loose to determine who was the best of the best. It was SO EXCITING to watch each year! The HyperMotard is the perfect embodiment of this genre, and based on your various introductions, I can see why you settled on the HyperMotard as your chosen steed. Enjoy!

[@locky1227]

The make of tyres are very important on your cars as you know but on a bike they are extremely important and something you will learn is to read the road surface ( ie dry, wet , oil spills etc) which becomes a far bigger factor when you only have two wheels instead of four. Take your time and lm sure you will love it - your bike is very trick 👍👍

[@scotwilson4169]

I've got Road 5's on my VFR1200F and had them on my Tiger 1200 before as well, great tyre, the steep angle makes heavier bikes turn in a lot easier which is great. Not sure you need sharper handling on the Hypermotard though 👀

[@cp4512]

Great bike 👍, but a bit of a strange first bike choice after the advice given by the experts he visited in the last few episodes..... Maybe you’ll prove them wrong.

[@FJF987]

Ik you’re not hating but I guess it’s what he wanted 🤷🏻‍♂️. Looks like he didn’t really listen to the advice hahahah

[@CharlieboySLONDON]

Don't really matter , Its a fun bike but not exactly a fast bike. Good ergonomics for a learner. Nice high position. Easy to throw around. Actually a good bike for a newbie if you have the money.

I’m so happy you got a bike bc with your audience you will get a lot of new riders into the mix

[@mravi97]

Really liking the fact you’re going your own way with bikes, rather than chasing cliches. Not that there’s anything wrong with supersports.

[@ciraloke]

Nice bike (and bike format) - really not a beginner's bike (engine size - 1L is a serious engine, luckily the V-twin is more about torque than power) - make use of those driver aids until you're skilled up, and like he said you could stay on that bike for your whole riding career and be happy. Another tip with new tyres is a scotchbrite pad with soapy water and give the tread a good going over (rinse really really well). The mold release can be super slippery when you're leaned over. Front and back track stands (as a minimum) makes washing and maintaining the bike much easier. Chain oiler is another thing I'd never do without. Well lubed chain is a noticeably smoother ride.

[@isasturg6841]

When you wrapping it and selling it?

[@eoghanhennessy15]

You don’t need to use the clutch to shift on any bike but the quickshifter lets you shift without closing the throttle

[@roelfkromhout]

Good job on the tires. Also good on you for having it sit out in the rain despite it being brand new.

[@GenaF]

Foggy gave you some very wise advice and you didn't listen. I cannot believe you've gone and bought a brand new bike. Personally I expected you to run one that's a couple of years old to get a few miles under your belt first. It does look good though.

Nice. I bought a Ducati last summer, and have been pleasantly surprised at the quality, and sheer fun factor.

Great bike! I’ve had a few bikes now but currently have the Hypermotard 950 with Sports Pack. Brings a smile daily. Best optional extra I found for it was the Ducati Heated Grips, which allows all year riding in summer gloves! You won’t regret getting them, in fact you’ll regret ever riding without them!

[@djm555]

Excellent all rounder bike. If it doesn't have heated grips get them fitted because no matter what the weather your hands warm makes it a lot more enjoyable 😉

Best advice ever! Heated grips are a game changer no matter how much of a hardened biker you think you are!

I've followed your channel for some time but, at last, you've been tempted to the biking side of life! It's not great this time of year but wait until that big, yellow thing appears in the sky again and it transforms.

All Hypers are killer motorcycles. HOWEVER, many agree that the BEST version so far was the first one; 1,100 cc air-cooled Desmo. Way more fun than the newer one.

true, got the 950RVE 2022 now but had a time ago a HYper 1100s, wheeliemachine, lots of power. But also a killer machine, it doesn't forgive mistakes. The new hyper 950 is more forgiven on you.

[@girarcat]

Don't you have any kind of engine power limitation for rookies in the UK? Can't belive a noob like him can just get his license and start riding such a bike at full power. OMG, his feet can barely reach the ground! I've riding motorbikes all my life and I don't get why the rush to buy such a big, expensive, powerful bike (and he says he was about to get a superbike!!!). He still clearly has a lot to learn about bikes and a lot of mishaps to go through along his learning curve (mishaps which are much safer to suffer on a mid-power and easier to ride bike). Don't get me wrong, the Hypermotard is a fantastic and super-fun bike, but any little mistake or calculation error on a 140hp super-torquey twin-cylinder engine can be fatal. I guess this is business and of course a more modest bike would not get enough attention on KZbin to help him pay his instalment . Ride safe!

[@norbert_engel]

Almost bought this as my second bike a few years ago. Wasn’t for me, but they look and sound cool AF😬 Surprisingly, I find the Streetfighter V4S easier to ride than the Hypermotard. Something about the geometry of the Hypermotard that didn’t work for me.

[@viktorpucher]

Sick bike Bit of a brutal bike for your first. Don't fit into to much trouble. I was always told to start on a 250 and I did best advice I could have gotten. To learn Bike control on a smaller and lighter bike is so important. Power can come later. It's like getting a super car for your first car.

If you are worried about a bike intimidating you, I’d definitely invest in some fast road rider training. I’ve done several levels of it and quite honestly on the road 99% of tyres are fine. It is ability, confidence and most importantly properly reading the road and keeping your vision raised. Leave the bike in the standard settings for 6 months and do some proper training.
