1st Time in Fast Group NoLimits Ducati 2022 HyperMotard 950 SP Aug 12th Donington Park

- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- So this was my final track day of the 2022 season here in the UK.. my aim was to do 1 track day a month and I have achieved that (8 in total).
Donington Park is my local circuit, and I decided to go into Fast/Advanced group one last time to see if the faster Super Bikes could help me in breaking into the 1 minute 40's having previously done a 1 min 50 sec laptime.
It was also ridiculously hot (32-35 degrees) so needed maximum concentration to get the perfect lap with some nice markers and lines from the 1000cc bikes.
Did I manage to get a Personal Best? As a reference, my mates 2015 Aprilia RSVF RF (178 bhp) does a 1 min 42 seconds.

well done. glad you hit your goal. I'm lucky to have both a 950RVE, but also just putting together an 890 Duke R for track use. The 950 is so much fun on the road and watching you use it on track is great inspiration for us hyper owners.
Thanks man.. that 890R guy was 3 seconds faster than me and looked so smooth whilst fighting the bike - you'll have fun on both!
@@hypermotardking i thought that was a 1290 went past! only an 890? I am toying either a 1290 or 950 Sp for track, think 890 is sufficient?
@@anthonyarnold1242 Ive done a few rides and videos with my mate and his 1290R - I still need to do a proper review of the two side by side.. BUT the Hyper is a good blend of bags of fun all at lower speeds but is super nimble and fast when properly dialled in at a Track.
That 890R guy at Track was 3 seconds faster than me which you can tell - he was next level and just inspired me more that if he can than I can too 👍🏻
@@hypermotardking yes i saw your Wales ride video with the 1290, you 100% need to compare the 2 bikes as cant see a vid of anyone do that yet.
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Great laps
Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
Love the B roll clips, makes it super interesting. Crushed it!
Cheers.. need a break now - proper exhausting ragging that Hyper 😂😂
That Hyper looks awesome fun. Are those times ok in the fast group @ Donington? As in, did you feel settled and not in the way?
@@zxgopher Anything 1:50 or under I would say fast group.. everyone is predictable and let you know they going to pass with ample space.. also encourage to push as you dont want to hold them up..
Great riding you are hanging in there with them .
Thanks… I got alot better this year hust riding with faster riders and learning their lines/techniques 👍🏻
Bloody epic riding mate wow
Cheers.. kind of a special track that suits the rider who can flow with their bike 👍🏻
Love watching you :)
Thanks Bro 🤛🏼
That looked like a lot of fun! Just noticed that you were shifting at 9k which is about 1500 off from red line. Any reason you wouldn’t use the full revs? Maybe 10k on track?
@@usart2008 just new to it i guess.. never felt like i gained more power/torque by keeping it revved out..
@@hypermotardking Gotcha. I used to run a S1000 single R on track with a similar 11k red line and shifted at 9k or so. The instructor recommended that I use almost all of the rpm range in order to reduce gear shifts on track. I don’t know if I got any faster but my riding got a bit smoother. Yet to take the Hyper to track
I liked how you showed multiple laps
Thanks.. sometimes it can get boring
lap after lap.. so just picked the 2 important ones for comparison 👍🏻
Mate, you smashed it! Isn’t that 7 secs a lap quicker than last time? 1:55’s? Awesome video.
Cheers man.. Started the year after Dean Ellison training with a 1:58.. and now a 1:48.. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@hypermotardking Wow, that is epic going but can’t believe it’s the last one of the year for you?
@@hypermotardking we got the next Ducati day on the 14th Sept!!
@@BenVarley74 I think I’m done.. little Hyper’s done enough and now need to prepare it for off-road/winter season 👍🏻
Beast mode, if you were on a bigger bike you would definitely leave these guys in the dust
Thanks 🤛🏼🤛🏼
Excellent captions.
Thanks
Nice thanks for sharing 🤙🏻
🤛🏼🤛🏼
Awesome!
Thanks mate 🤛🏼
Mega!!
Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice vid.I personally think you did well.In my younger years I used to race and i bet the hyper is sweet on track.Im curious did you add teeth to the rear.If there was just a few more turns in that track you would be ahead..Great job..
Thanks make appreciate that.. gearing is stock 15/43, may drop a tooth for more acceleration and see how it plays out on these flowing tracks 👍🏻
@@hypermotardking I was thinking that would help it's what I plan to do after I get this 1st service done..
love the vid, what tyres are you running, do you know the spindle size on the rear please I pick my bike up in November and need to get a single side paddock stand sorted, thanks
I run Avon Xtreme Slicks on track.. Soft front, Hard rear
Nice riding, You could get a little more speed out of modifying that bike and getting rid of the catalytic converter and the restrictive airbox.
Look up starace air box mod. I just received mine the other day. I will see about doing a video when I do the install.
Cat I can’t because of noise restrictions.. maybe airflow will yield a few more bhp top end but I think I’m pretty maxed out getting a 1:48.9..
For Sure do the install video 👍🏻
@@hypermotardking
Is it so sad that a race track has restrictions On noise, Worst part of restrictions is someday it'll be electric only.😒
@@DIYmotorcycle residents buy houses near a track/circuit then complain to local authority its too loud hence restrictions 🤦🏽♂️
@@hypermotardking
Yeah that's funny we got people that buy houses right near the airport and then complain about noise.
Why are so many people wanting to sacrifice quieter for a slight performance gain? Makes no sense so long as everyone is under the same rstriction. I live right near a very popular section of mountain road and I just want to strangle some of these IDIOTS! They are not even racing on tracks where 5% could make a difference they just want to be LOUD cause they think its cool...it is NOT cool it is OBNOXIOUS....then they pull their helmets and take out ear plugs because even they cant stand it
Excuse my ignorance but I am trying to understand speedometer is the kph or mph? Seems too fast for it to be kph but also often too slow for it to be mph.....then again I dont have much to go by....assuming mph??
Yes all mph..
Hi 👋🏻, just saw this vid come up. Absolutely brilliant. I'm thinking of getting rid of sports bike for one of these. Anything I should look out for? 👍🏼
Hypers and latest Gen Ducati’s are quite solid.. but they do need(like all bikes) customisation to your riding style to get the best out of them.. 👍🏻
@@hypermotardking cool, cheers for that. As I think it's time to come away from sports bikes and go for comfort and fun 👍🏼cool vids keep them coming .
@@garyhutson6361 Same thing I did.. went from a SuperStock 2CR R1 to this Hyper.. and I’m still in Fast Group not getting in everyones way
Geil👍😉
Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
