Ducati Hypermotard 950: (Raw Sound) Laguna Seca 7/8/24 by Volant Vivere
Here’s my best lap of Laguna Seca without traffic or commentary. I was working the Volant Vivere track day and blessed with some seat time! Pretty happy with my consistency and confidence. Wanted to record a hot lap for notes and review. I’ll go through the lap turn-by-turn in a future review video.
Not the fastest of pace as I was control riding for Volant Vivere but I was very happy with my consistency. Can’t control ride if you’ve sent your bike into the kitty litter! I was very obviously braking early and trying to keep my corner speed low. Something I will be working on when I’m not responsible for other riders and track duties.
This was my first time using a track-oriented tire. I’ve always done my track days on Pirelli Diablo Rosso or Diablo Rosso Corsa, but this time I got to roll on the Pirelli Supercorsas and the difference was immediately evident. I had immense corner grip and feel. The bike was completely within my control. You can see on T2 I got a little loose on the front and shook my head a little, this was the front tire telling me that I was doing something it didn’t like. I was able to understand the feedback from my tires and adjust my riding accordingly. Absolutely a game changer!

Ducati Hypermotard 950: Trackday discussion
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 місяці тому
I’m baaaaack! The short hiatus is over, usually I’d shoot video during my commute but my new gig has me leaving the house at 5:30am. Lots of fog, critters, dampness and darkness doesn’t make for good footage! In today’s video I discuss the Hyper as it relates to trackdays and my own thoughts regarding going to the track. I have a private trackday coming up so it’s all on my brain! Next video wi...
Ducati Hypermotard 950: Revisited
Переглядів 2,7 тис.4 місяці тому
I’m back! This time I decided to recap a few topics and discuss some new ones. I rewatched my old video and found it to be kinda boring, honestly. The discussion was okay and informative, but the road choice was slow and arduous. This bike is actually much more fun in the 30-100mph range and I was barely getting there for much of my last video. Due to my girlie riding with me on weekends, I can...
Ducati Hypermotard 950: A Mountain Road Review
Переглядів 9 тис.6 місяців тому
Hello Everyone! I’m back after a wintery hiatus. I realized that my last video didn’t really introduce the bike so I’ve set out on my first commute this year to delve into it. No notes, no cuts, just commuter thoughts and braaps. In the video I go into some detail as to why one may want the Hyper. I ride and chat about the feel of the bike as well as some quirks and experience. If you have any ...
Ducati Hypermotard 950: Wheelie Tests and Talk
Переглядів 9 тис.11 місяців тому
After some hyping up on the forums I decided it’s time to start making videos with a bit more substance. Here, at the request of fellow Hypermotard owners, I am testing out the wheelie control and giving my feedback. Some more fooling around later in the video as well. Surprised to find how intrusive the DWC was even on the first setting. It isn’t slamming the front down, but it certainly made ...

Thunderhill East: -My First Track Day-
Переглядів 853 роки тому
Provider: 2WheelAddiction Track Days Bike: 2019 Triumph Street Triple R 765 Here's a short vid of my last session on Thunderhill East. Started the day in C and got bumped to B. Uploading for reviewing purposes. I'd like to improve my body positioning and lines.
Weird my 23 does wheelies real easy. If I wanna ride em out I turn off the dwc. Where did you get those winglets?
now would you tour on this? i wana to go to south america on this from usa
and yes i will take a boat from panama to colombia
Nice scenic ride... love my 24 SP 🤙
hello! I really love this video, such a beautiful road and landscape. I have 2 questions: what is the issue of the ethanol? i didn't get it. I heard something like: the bike loses power and then u open the throttle and power is delivered abruptly? 2nd question: How many consecutive hours can you ride the 950 without getting tired? I recently got a Street Triple RS and I'm not used to riding it yet, after 1 hour I have to stop to rest my wrists and back, but I like it and I won't sell it. I thought about adding a 950 (maybe SP) because I always liked it. The problem is that the test ride lasts about twenty minutes and it's not enough for me to understand how uncomfortable/comfortable it is. Cheers.
That Subaru driver pulling over was so nice to see. My buddy and I on rides here in Wyoming or in the Hills or in Colorado will see Texas, Kansas and Iowa plates and just sigh. They REFUSE to use slow vehicle turnouts or they accelerate where you can pass it is like wtf is wrong with you.
hey, you have some pictures of your hyper in black?
I have a 21 Hyper SP.. I used to ride those roads all the time on my old bikes when I lived in Cali. I was like "man this looks just like Skyline blvd" .. then I see the sign haha. Love it up there.
Looking good dude. Turn 2 is probably the hardest corner to dial in on the whole track with the double apex. You’re flowing really well on that bike too! 🙌
Beautiful lap! We love seeing the Track Attack app UI!
So fast!
What type of exhaust do you have? Ive disabled the charcoal canister / evap canister it helped me with the hot start and low rpm between 1 and 2 gear stalling issues, it also contribute to the dirty throttle body. Very easy modes with the right tools. No need to remove the tank and air box. Look up smart Moto evap canister delete.
Nice
Nice lap. Laguna is so fun. What app are you using the phone on?
@@Wreckage72 TrackAttack
This is great to watch. 🔥💪🏽
bucket list track 🔥
You gotta bring this bike to Sonoma. It's basically a giant supermoto track. Even on my FS 450 is great on it.
I’ll be there next month! Another private day with Volant Vivere on the 28th. Might also do Yamaha R day on the 27th as well.
@Yeet_Streets I'll probably be there on the 28th too on my fs450. We should do a session together. I'm considering a hyper 950 and would love to follow you for a bit just to see how it does on track.
@@relyt_gnast I’ll be control riding B group so by all means it would be my pleasure! Going to the Yamaha trackday on the 27th to learn the track as well.
@Yeet_Streets gotcha. I'll be in A group but maybe I'll drop down to B to get a session with you. Sonoma isn't the easiest track to learn, but I like it more than Laguna.
where you have the front direction indicator?
I think it's really a specialized bike I don't pull mine out for leisurely rides if I do get it out I'm fully geared up because I know I'm not going to be riding slow. You definitely got to get it remapped get rid of a cat because in hot temperatures these bikes don't do well.
Yeah I’m running a T800 tune. Curious how it’s going to do at Laguna, I struggled a little going up the hill between t6 and the corkscrew with my stock tune/exhaust. I’ll def be able to feel the extra few ftlbs
Hey, we should do a track day together! 😘
We just did!
Do you have any experience with the old hyper 1100? I’ve got my heart set on owning the OG 1100 or the 950 and I’m always looking for opinions. I haven’t had the chance to try either model yet myself but they are my dream bike.
Both are great bikes, the 950 is a little bit faster and significantly more modern. I haven’t had a chance to ride an 1100 but I’ve been around a couple. I like them, but the design language ages it a bit more than I would like
If you are mostly riding B group and at the same time commuting to work I would recommend using 50/50 tires for both, i.e. Michelin Power 5 or 6 (maybe GP) or Pirelli Rosso IV Corsa, that way you won't have to swap tires back and forth and they will do great on track while also not being terrible in terms of mileage on the street. Alternatively look for a used set of wheels (maybe the Marchesini ones from the SP) so that you can run Pirelli SC's or even slicks on track in the future (although those only make sense once you are solidly in A). Additionally, since you have had Dave Moss adjust your suspension you would want to take a note of his exact settings (preload, comp and rebound) to switch between that config and a more comfortable & plush set up on the street. There is a also a big mental part of a track day that is worth going over as well (pacing yourself, learning from others, focusing on one or two things to improve at a time, hydrating, focusing on lines and exit markers etc). Keep it up, hope to see you out there at some point, I will be at Dylan's track day in Sonoma.
I’m a few steps ahead. Been going to trackdays for some time. Luckily I have a rabaconda tire machine at home so a tire swap only takes me about an hour. Definitely out-riding 50/50 tires. I’m in SC territory at the track and I’ll be improving even more once I have the grippier tire confidence. My commute chews through 50/50 tires, absolutely worth it to get dedicated tires. I am looking into wheels as a future investment. I do have Dave’s track suspension settings saved in my phone. Pretty quick to adjust
Any advice on the suspension settings? I did my first ride on my 950 the other day and it was bouncing like a pogo stick.
I’ll take a baseline this week and reply here with my current settings. I’ve been playing with the settings a lot lately so I don’t know off-hand.
Settings (rotations back from full tight) Front: Comp-2.25 Reb-1.5 Preload-3 Rear: S/H-1.5 Preload-25mm from top thread to top collet
Congrats on the job… the hyper has been the best bike I’ve had on track and so much fun giving it to the straight line hero big boys !
Which road is that?
Thanks for the tip on the loops ear plugs! I’m looking into them!
Love that commute!! I have been thinking about getting a hyper M SP. what kind a fuel economy do you get? I have a FZ 09 and it likes to wheelie too.
Really depends on how heavy-handed you are. During my commutes I average around 35mpg. If I’m blasting through the hills I get something like 25. There isn’t a fuel gauge and it has a rather small tank. I usually get my low fuel light every 80-90 miles.
80-90 smiles for miles! Like you said the HM is a weird bike but I think that’s why I want one so bad!
Watch out for that black mastic overbanding,lethal,when wet,as white lines can be,lovely bike,would like a screen of sorts, since i love motorway riding(in between the fun bits)
Thanks🙏🏾
Is that La Honda Rd onto Portola Rd? Working your way to SM bridge into Hayward?
Which mirrors are these? 😮
Cheap Amazon mirror. I do not recommend them.
Ok, from someone who’s been looking to get a hyper since the 1100’s (got a Bonneville back then instead cause ya know, new rider) to finally getting an RVE, I loved watching this. Had my heart racing through some parts and had forgotten how much I miss that rush! Props to you and doing this kinda of ride along…discussion…enjoyed it a lot.
Sick bike man, looking forward to more videos!
Nice video Mate. I own a Hypermotard 950sp as well. I see you handlebars jumping a lot. You should look into adjusting your forks for canyons rides.
I have them currently adjusted for that faster/smooth road. The bumpy roads before/after it are a bit rough. It’s hard to find an in-between where the bike is always happy.
Ditch that T800 Map.. get BHPUK or Duessen Engines map
Listen to the King! 💪🏼
❤
About 45 minutes ago I returned from a North Bay ride on my 950SP. I'm really allergic to multi-lane seemingly endless miles of straight pavement. This bike really grins when it's in relatively hi revs @ 4th gear. Because freeway driving styles vary from car-to-car, I can vouch for the wonderful I-need-to-put-you-drivers-behind-me-torque. The 950 Definitely like well-spaced twisties and it grins at sweepers.
Its ability this bike has to kick into action has always kept a smile on my face. It pulls like a freight train out of any turn <100mph… which are the speeds you normally see on the streets. It has wonderful full-throttle characteristics.
Wheelies in UK are an instant driving ban as far as I know.
Good, this rapscallions must be halted at all costs!!!
Everyone should wear ear plugs anyway - it’s because of wind noise not engine noise.
The exhaust on this bike is significantly louder than the wind noise. But definitely, wear earplugs with or without loud exhaust. Even on short rides it helps.
@@Yeet_Streets I have carbon termi’s with the baffles removed on my monster 1200r. Loud you say? Hold my beer! It was cool at first but it even irritates me.
I love your route to work (both of them) and I love your commentary. Keep it coming :)
Interesting comments on the SF V2, I was looking at the SF V2.... until my friend got a Hyper 950 SP... the bike feels like a toy, but god damm... one of the most beautiful bikes, for me, my main concern is Highway Miles, I live in Nevada and to get to fun roads, we need to do around an Hour Highway each way, and that is kind of holding me back so far... I had few naked bikes, but none where I sit so high up and so light... Really enjoy your videos, ride safe !
Take one for a test ride. I did 5000 miles on a tour of Spain from the UK on a naked monster r and it was fine at legal speeds for extended periods of time. At well above legal speeds my neck started to hurt after a while.
Highway isn't fun but if you keep it under 75mph it isn't bad. You can buy a taller windscreen to help improve that. Puig makes one.
This bike has been out for a long time now. Still worth a buy or getting outdated? I’m looking for something more relaxed/light than my monster 1200r. Will be tough to part with the monster so needs to be something special.
Nice vid! What’s that steering damper? Do you feel bike needs one?
That’s the Ducabike damper kit with an Ohlins damper. It works well! Depending on your riding style it can be very advantageous to have one. This one in-particular is used a lot. I don’t have it turned up very high but due to my throttle-happy wrist and how I sit further back on the bike I usually get head wobble coming out of turns (multiple times per ride). This bike likes to get on the rear tire and I’d definitely recommend a damper if you want to ride the bike at 60% or more.
Man that bike sound nasty!! Love that thump from Ducati. It has a lot of character. I like this bike is even better in person, I think people that have not seen or heard one in person are quick to discount it. It’s a beast. Good review
It is riotous in person. If I wasn’t a glutton for punishment… I’d suggest keeping the catalyst in. The decat and slip-ons are so raunchy and outrageous. The dual exits under your seat is very loud. I cannot ride without earplugs, especially with the AGV Corsa R. It makes all the noises: pops, bangs, barks, etc…
Very nice ride along and chat, this is honestly a better way to experience a hike than a formal review and all the specs and nonsense.
I’ll be posting a follow-up on faster roads. I’ve been commuting for a couple weeks straight now and I have a better route for these sorts of videos.
Rearsets usually have breakaway pegs and you can buy the pegs themselves for cheap if you break them from a crash. I upgraded to Ducabike sets and really love the customizable positions.
I subscribed u bro 💪🏻🙌🏻❤️ Keep posting vdos
I am also thinking to buy it ,,, whats your suggestion of daily riding...this bike... I really love the style and posture on this bike... this bike as you said is only for few humans... only the selected people will get this
Great video, how is the bike on the highway with the winds? And practical question, how you deal with the suit at work? You leave office cloth in the office, backpack ? Thanks, ride safe and keep uploading
It is not wonderful at speeds >80mph, but not torturous. You’re definitely IN the wind. I scoot my butt back in the seat and lean forward to fight the wind. The bike doesn’t like to hover over 6krpm (90mph in 6th with stock gearing). I don’t have too much of a hard time hanging on at speeds over 100, but I don’t stay over 100 for long. As for the suit, I wear slim jeans under it and my work shirt (belt in my backpack). I keep a button-down / canvas shoes in my office and leave my suit in a pile under my desk haha. I would’ve bought a suit hanger but my office is temporary right now and don’t want to drill holes in the Sheetrock. It’s not ideal but it works.
@@Yeet_Streets thanks for the info thoughtful reply, appreciate it
Trying to decide between the new 698-RVE and 950-SP. Seems like the 950 doesnt get out of 2nd much
Really depends on the roads and what you intend on using it for. Both are fantastic bikes in their own right. I spend more time in 3rd and 4th on my usual route. This route was just super tight.
do u still have the str also?
That one’s engine decided to give up, warranty paid it off and I used those funds to get this bike.
@@Yeet_Streets ah nice just picked up a hyper at the weekend traded for a str
@@turbodave6068 they are both great bikes in their own right! Literally can’t go wrong with either. I just really enjoy the torque and playfulness of the Hyper. The STR was a more refined machine and was definitely easier to sling around the track.
