What bike would be a better track bike? The Ducati Supersport 950 or the Ducati Hypermotard 950?
I suspect either would be a blast. My pick would be the SuperSport 950 for its better wind protection. YMMV; I don't think there's a wrong choice here.
I think at track speeds you'll want some fairings. You get up over 100mph with no screen, the wind is going to try to peel you off the bike.
Both bikes can do track, but neither really belong there. On a fast long track, both are gonna miss top-end power. On a tighter more technical track, the Hyper would be one to go for.
@@JeanOi I agree.
@@nickb638 Excellent point.
I test rode a 950 S this summer and concur with Rembo's comments. The bike is a hoot and a half. It's more comfy than a full-on sport bike, looks and sounds great, nice power and handling. Two disappointments for me: 1. Why no cruise control? The Multistrada 950 has it; it would be no challenge technically to add it. 2. Ducati doesn't make available a service manual and I've found no independent (such as Haynes) manuals for it. I don't want to rebuild an engine but I do want an authoritative source for simple stuff like torque values for the oil drain plug, wheel nuts, etc.
this is just my 2 cents review (take it or leave it) as I purchased this exact bike a month ago and have 1000+ miles on it now and it's sufficiently broken in. Keep in mind, I'm coming back to riding after a 25 year break. I'm 52 y.o., I am 5'9", 32" inseam, average build. To get back into riding I purchased a 2019 Yamaha R3 brand new 3 years ago and put 17,000 miles on it for commuting and 1/2 day rides. I also own a 2020 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 classic cruiser (for the laid back experience and my wife wanted to ride along on back). However, most of my riding was on the R3, so that's the experience I bring in my brief review of this Ducati 2022 supersport:
Pros:
Plenty of power
Sexy curb appeal
Control Screen is easy to navigate
Easy to change riding modes while riding
Brakes are powerful
Engine braking is tight
The bike is very responsive on corners and comes out of them like a rocket
the bike generally just does what you want it to do, no fighting the bike, it's just smooth.
Ergonomically comfortable (I have taken 2-5+ hour rides with only minor soreness in my body afterwards)
Daytime running lights from the front are just badass to look at
ALL the electronic sensors (wheelie control, ABS, tracking control, auto blinker shut off)
Brake lights auto flash when going over 30 mph to grab rear drivers attention.
Easy to access important maintenance stuff (like chain tightening is a breeze if you have the proper equipment).
Cons:
Rembo is not kidding, after about 10 minutes of riding it's f**king hot. (at constant 50+ mph it's fine b/c wind cools you off, but in even mild traffic with stoplights, it's like a pizza oven under your ass.)
At 5'9", I'm just barely the right size, if I was 1" shorter it would be hard to flat foot it at a standstill.
yes, the mirrors do vibrate excessively (however, even at 80+ mph, I can tell what's around me, I can't read the license plates, but it's not like the mirrors are completely useless, I can tell what's going on around me).
No splash guard in the gas tank, you have to strategically aim the gas pump in the tank, otherwise you get a splatter of gas all over.
It's not super practical for commuting. I guess I'm used to my old R3 for commuting, but this bike is just too powerful for the 10 mile fighting traffic commute to work. When I'm in traffic the old line from the Sammy Haggar song "I can't get my car out of second gear" is always in my head. It's meant for the open road, it can handle the commute, but I'd choose something smaller and better gas mileage if that's what you're getting a bike for.
The 2 way adjustable windscreen is pretty useless.
Smallish tank, I feel like I'm always going to the gas station.
did I mention your ass gets hot, especially in traffic (that's my biggest complaint), if you buy this bike, stock up on spare underwear, because you're going to be changing them all the time.
Fantastic information Harold. Thank you for sharing with the group.
Love that you are the first guy I've seen on UA-cam who understands how to set the mirrors. I do the same thing. They are there to see beside us, not behind us, but I cheat on the left one too as it's easier to do head checks on that side.
Mirrors are pretty worthless on these , I love mine .. but ask any owner...
nice review, I have 5000 miles on my '21 S and it is one of the best daily sporty bikes I've ridden in my 52 years of riding. Stay above 4K on the revs and she's a gem.
What's your opinion on being a first bike ? I don't want to waste money on a bike I don't want. This ducati seems perfect for what I want, friendly but good power, comfortable, great quality, etc.
@@alexv5581 If you've taken the MSF course , and kept in in rain mode until you got familiar it's not a bad choice. They are a bit pricey to own, get the Service plan if you pull the trigger ..seems expensive ..pays for itself on the first 2 services
@@alexv5581 IMHO too powerful for a 1st bike, stick with the 300-400 series of Japanese bikes to get started, then you'll be ready for the Ducati. Plus the price point on the bikes I mentioned is 1/3 the price, brand new. I personally did 17,000 for 3 years on a brand new 2019 R3, got very good and confident, sold my 5,500 purchase for 3,500 and put that money down towards a 2022 Ducati supersport at 15,000. I feel like I can handle the weight, power, responsiveness so much better since I got accustomed to riding on a smaller bike first.
How is the mirror? Did you change to a aftermarket option?
Thanks love the bike nice review, .. and bass guitar in the background, this is the bike for us high handlebars upright more than the Panigale and not too much horsepower 🙂
Dad's Panigale I've heard it called lol. I have the '21 S and absolutely love it. Only downsides are mirrors and tight turns when your hand hits the tank at full lock.
Right on
Love my 40th Anniversary BMW 750GS, but want sport bike. This looks like a good option/compromise. Have a ride set up for next week 🙂
Mant thanks for the ride review!
Cheers from Daytona, Fl
I really liked the Supersport due to its more comfortable riding position. I hope they come out with a V2 version.
Thanks for reviewing the Supersport.
Love that bike.
Getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2021(new) 950. I've currently own a 2018 Triumph Street Triple 765 RS and absolutely love that bike, but I find that it gets a little uncomfortable for touring. I'm bumping 60 and not quite as bendy as I used to be.
I chose the SS because of the great ergos (I'm 5'9)" which will make a good for touring and the also to do the occasional track day.
Great review and Subscribed!
The 950 S is definitely more versatile for track days. Enjoy!
950s is amazing and you can also add a small riser to the bars for a little more comfort.
You should look into the h2 sx! Kawasaki supercharged sport tourer for 2022
check out the new Street Triple 1200 RR .....
Nice sensible ride demo. Should have cruise control
awesome bike
Yes it is
Looks like bumble bee from transformer turned into a ducati bike 😅. The bike looks lovely ❤️
It does!
Love my 21supersport s
I been wanting the white 950s bad nice video only 5foot 7 tall so be a beginner rider
It will be a fun bike for you
I wonder how this compares to the ninja 1000sx
Damn. couldn't help but notice the turn signals don't work and it only a 5 speeds.. Was hoping for more on a new bike.
I’m getting my new motorcycle soon. I’ve booked supersport base but also test rode Monster 950 yesterday. Loved the monster but I love the looks of supetsport. Confused between the two. What’s your opinion between the two motorcycles?
I think they're the same just look different
I like both bikes. The Monster is more of a naked street bike and the SS is more sports bike but just in looks. I found both bikes to be comfortable and did reviews on the monster too if you want to look at it.

Thanks for the replies and the review. I am getting my supersport delivered today. Will provide my feedback on it soon 😁
@@keshavranjan2553 Please do
If you're sitting on it like its a mt09 you get decent wind coverage? So maybe when the weather gets worse, you tuck in and then it gets even better wind coverage right? Im asking because there are very few options if you want those specs with good wind coverage without the bike being an ADV or something :) Also for this reason I wish Triumph to launch a Street Triple 765 RR version, It would be a unicorn style bike but i think they would be similar to supersport 950
The windscreen is adjustable. On the mt09, you get nothing.
I have had a '21 950S for 2 seasons now and I got it with the touring package which included a taller smoked windscreen. I don't get any buffeting unless there is some gusting weather, then I shake around a bit, but normally it is very smooth for a sporty windscreen/fairing. You will still get wind noise from your helmet though, but no more than usual. There are 2 vents beside the headlight that direct cool air to your thigh area that help with the heat, and the radiator vents and oil cooler vents are directed out to the sides away from your legs. I feel they really got the fairing right and it does a great job with wind coverage.
This non-S version of the 950 is at an interesting price point for sort of a sport-touring/relaxed sport bike. No cruise control kind of sucks but oh well. I see no reason other than looks to buy the 950S over the non-factory Tuono V4.
The Aprilia brand has definitely given Ducati a run for their money with a few bikes. Ducati does not have an answer to the RS660 for a mid-size sport bike for the track.
Niiice
I think you missed the real question here. How long will it take Ducati to drop the V4 from the Multi in the SuperSport? Now that's a bike I would seriously consider as a replacement for my Multi V4.
If Ducati follow their current trend, in 2023 we might see a renaming of the SuperSport 950 to SuperSport V2 and a SuperSport V4 with either the V4 from the Multi or, if Ducati is nice to us, the V4 from the StreetFighter.
I have been waiting to hear about the Supersport V2 but that did not happen in 2022. I think Ducati is going to end up with 2 primary engines, the V2 and V4. Now a V4 in the Supersport? Wow, yes.
@@RemboUSMC I think it's only a matter of time before the whole range of bikes is v2 and v4. The next logical step would be the SuperSport and the Monster. They will keep the small air-cooled L-twin engine in the Scrambler, until eventually environmental regulations kill it.
I'd be very interested in a SuperSport V4S. My brain loves the idea. My heart thinks hard luggage on a SF V4S would be good too :D
@@JeanOi We seem to have the same predictions.
Somebody ping me when they throw a V4 into the XDiavel... :)
@@2BWiley2 Just got notice from Ducati today the Diavel is now V4 👍
how does this suspension compare to the ohlins on the S
There is nothing wrong with the stock 950 suspension but you are getting the high end version with the 950S. The difference? I don't know as I did not have an opportunity to ride both models. Maybe sometime soon.
I'm doubting between a tuono 660 and a 950s... Hard decision... both are amazing.
Both bikes are fantastic. That is a very difficult decision
is the throttle sensitive like the r1m
Not much is a smooth as the R1M so no. Then again, there is a significant power difference too so hard to compare.
I have a Ducati Scrambler Cafe, I am thinking of trading it in for this bike, good move you think?
Night and day difference. The Supersport is a lot of fun and smoother than what you have
@@RemboUSMC Thank you
Weight on my front hands🧐😁
what's difference between 2021 and 2022
I don’t know just yet. Great question!
I keep giving serious consideration to the SS, but Ducati refusing to add CC is a deal breaker. The fact that a Tuono 660 comes standard with it for much cheaper is unforgivable, in my opinion.
I agree. I believe that Aprilia really stepped up their game and is giving Ducati a run for their money, especially with their price point. Look at the RS660. Ducati does not have an answer to that bike.
@@RemboUSMC Aprilia is doing great things, especially for being such a small manufacturer. I’ve been strictly Ducati for the past 10 years, but Aprilia’s offerings are more on point with my style now.
I have wrap the bike in satin black , damn it looks so hot 🥰
I bet it does! Nice
I believe the SS has a different tune than the Hyper; 'softer' as it may be compared to a Panigale, Ducati dropped all references to 'touring' (not that any really existed) on the latest SS model, and with the Ohlins, the tweaked internals of the TestaStretta, and throwing on the full Akrapovic race exhaust, you're looking at a motorcycle every bit as fast as the famous Ducati 916; the SS is only 'slow' in comparison to track weapons that are good for all of thirty minutes on the regular road, and need to be wound up to close to 10k RPM to truly shine - and I say that as someone who owned a Panigale, and now owns a '21 SuperSport. Short of track days in the fast group, the SuperSport will keep up with any race-rep on the backroad slicing.
Thanks for posting this information to the group. Excellent info.
Real world huh 😂
how tall ru
5'11" with 32" inseam.
5’10 here w 30” inseam
I need you to have someone take a pic of you riding the back from the side profile. So i can see if your height looks right for the bike. Because no offense, but honestly, the majority of people 5’11” or taller look to big on the bike. And this is why im sorry fellas, but people 5’10” and shorter are the luckiest MF’s in the whole world, because they look good on any motorcycle. So f all the people growing up always making fun of shorter people. I think all that started because taller people knew shorter people got it better off. ✌️
I am working on that trying to get more videos that offer more perspective with someone else shooting the camera
