Glad I found this video, I commute from Kent into London every day on my Honda CB650R and I’ve seen a couple of these bikes around, they look amazing. Definitely on my list of possible bikes to look at when I upgrade. Also I recognise most of those roads you were on, I grew up in Waterlooville. Good stuff sir, keep it up 👍
Just submitted to your channel very well done I own a 2017 standard 939 and also a factory Aprillia tuono 1100 factory 2019 and I must say I love my Ducati hypermoto
Thanks for the great review! I’ve owned many Multistradas and have slowly transitioned from sport touring to track days. Currently run an Aprilia RS660 but I miss the power punch of a L-twin and Ducati sexiness. This may be the Goldilocks I’ve been searching for.
Greetings from a fellow 950 owner. Great & informative video, but there's some correction: the 1st level ABS does not deactivate the cornering & rear ABS, it only reduce the level of intrusion (like letting you slide out a bit entering a corner stomping on the pedal, but as soon as you starting to wash out, the ABS kick in). And 1 small thing, if you mainly ride smaller twisties, change to a 14t front sprocket, I did mine and it works a treat. Yes it robs some of the top speed, but throttle action gets much better & wheelies come at less effort than before.
Great review and new subscriber . Lookin at a Hyper to go with my Tuono Factory. Hope a can find one in the spring and this Covid bs is not causing more bike shortages
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together and explaining some of the settings. Bike sounds amazing with the under seat Zards. Will subscribe for any useful tips as I pick up my SP next week. Stay safe,
Just bought a used 821. I'm 5'9" and tippy toe at stops. Dropped the bike today just losing it at a stop 🙉 Definitely going to take getting use to and will have to do some parking lot practice to get the muscle memory for one leg down.
Thank you for an excellent video. Keep up the good work. You have a great style. Keep the videos coming. I'm very sure you'll grow your following. Also thank you for the comprehensive review of the hyper. I'm on the fence about what to get. Previous bike was a s2r monster. Looking for something different.
You look professional Tom I thought you had thousands of subs. You will be at the top soon I promise. But I’m contemplating on a second bike it’s between the ktm 890duke r or the Ducati hypermotard. I’m interested in going for longer rides so I’m excited to see your review on a longer ride on the hypermotard
Thanks for that comment. I'm really enjoying the learning process. I tool the 890 for a test ride. I was gonna make a short video on other bikes i considered and why I decided on the hyper. The 890 was a very fun bike to ride but felt really small in comparison. The torque on the hyper pushed me to the ducati 👌 Both amazing bike and I'm sure you won't regret either decision 👍
I’m thinking of changing my 20 S1000R, it has a rear set riding position as standard, so my question is, does the Hyper have the same position, or does it need rear sets, as the new MT09SP has that said position also?
Nice review Tommy. I just purchased a lightly used 2020 Hyper SP back in June and agree with all your comments. I flew out and rode it home 600 miles and actually found it pretty comfortable for the trip. Besides the lack of wind protection, the riding position makes it easy to spend a day in the saddle. Curious how you feel about it after your long trip. Also, I was planning on getting the Zard GT slip ons. I think they are a bit quieter than the model you have and I think they have removable DB killers. Wondering if you have an opinion or have ever heard those in person. Thanks!
Not sure on the zard gt slip ons but something worth considering for uk track days! 600 miles! That's definitely a long distance test, such a good all round beast 👌
Great video tommy, I live in Gosport so noticed your a local guy , I'm in process of purchasing this bike myself this weekend , would like to pick your brains if poss, would you mind me contacting you in some form ? Many thanks Gary
Nice video - am seriously thinking of buying an SP next year for a trip to mugello - I know it’s got no screen but I love supermoto bikes so I will live - any tips for me ?
Have a 2018 thruxton R but have been itching for this bike. It’s a bit taller but not impossible bike to balance Looking forward to the next video. I prefer to own my bikes till I run them into the ground but I’m not sure how the hypermotard does in that regards
The hyper is a tall bike. Nothing a bum slide to the left can't fix at the traffic lights. The first thing I done when I purchased the bike was put a load of crash protection on it. The Thruxton is a beautiful bike. Different animal to the hyper, not had the pleasure in riding one yet but I bet its nice
@@tommychapman4650 it seems to me that the giggle factor with the hypermotard is what wins most riders over I live in TX where it’s flat and hot mostly throughout the year so the thruxton although being a beautiful bike lacks the “making you feel like a kid riding a BMX” feeling
@@frankiej4128 it also makes you act like a kid. I find that it makes me ride slower as I'm always wanting to make space to have fun and improve my wheelies 😆 Every roundabout is fun. I've not done much rising in poor conditions but that might change soon when I take it on a 400 mile trip to work. That's next week so looking forward to it 🙌
I certainly am but not the hyper. I’ve got a 2022 panigale v4s. Amazing bit of kit but not the same fun that the hyper is. I’d always have another hyper, it’s just a matter of time 👌
With the dtc and dwc set to off how easy is the bike to power wheelie in 2nd and 3rd gear? What revs ect is best to give it some? I own the standard model and it's by far the best bike I've ever owned
It goes without saying first gear is very twitchy and easy to come up. I'm far from an expert but love playing with 2nd gear and just pulling on the bars and up she comes. If in doubt a little clutch and a few revs. In a few weeks I'll try and get a video put together regarding the wheelies, think it will be good to see from a perspective like mine. Someone new to wheelies 😎👌 even the hyoer can make me look good at times 😁
@@tommychapman4650 cool, Ive got my bike set to: dtc1 abs 2 dwc 1 and she only comes up in 1st and rarely in 2nd so think il give it a go n turn everything off... I'll look forward to that video... I think alot of people will enjoy it
Man...I live in Macau on Asia. I have a Ducati Monster...and my next bike would be the Streetfighter v4s, but Im thinking I would change to Hipermotard because I'm 1:85 tall. I am planning and intend to take a long motorcycle trip through Europe in July 2023 From the island of Corfu in Greece to London...or vice versa. So, I believe that this trip can be in a rented Hipermotard. With your experience, which riding mode would be best for a long trip of about 4,000 km? sport ? Touring ? urban ? Some nice company to introduce me ? Thanks Bro
You'll feel right at home on the hyper. Will probably feel a tad heavier than your FE650. I've heard good things about them would love to take one out 😎
Did you record this with a toaster strudel 2.0? On a serious note, what is the insurance like? I’m heavily researching this bike and am super curious about that and warranty or if you can even find them brand new
hi bro,will those oil cooler guard protection useful?..cos im living in India and so many pothholes and the roads are not good.cos im afraid of getting hit by something while doing offroading..please let me know of your wildest rough terrains and how well was it??
Great review, I’ve got Zara’s and awesome sound and bit of performance, best mod, Mupo rear shock and M9RR tyres, mine was standard, and better value than SP with fake Ohlins, just got a $250 quick shifter and better than Sp, Best setting, Touring, Abs minimum, TC min, DWC 1, that way you can floor it without flipping it, and get max drive, Street or Track, Touring is best for best lap times, with the above settings
@@samliil Better engine, better chassis, better suspension, better handling, better built. The SP is good within a much narrower scope vs the Speed Triple. The SP isn’t good in slow traffic, it gets too hot. It isn’t good at higher speeds, the upright and tall riding position catching too much wind. The long travel front suspension makes the bike feel nervous and twitchy at higher speeds. The gearbox on the Speed Triple never misses a shift, the SP gearbox and clutch are crap. And I’ve owned two 939, they both had equally crappy gearboxes and clutch’s that got grabby at around 6000 km. I still like my 939 but most of the time I’m going for a ride I take the Triumph cause it’s so much more enjoyable to ride.
Hey man! Love from India! How’s the service cost and intervals for the bike? AND I have to ask, if you slip on Pirelli Scorpions and soften the suspension, any chance it’s gravel worthy?
Hey Nithin, it's just about to undergo it's first service, I'll post another video of the costs as soon as i know. As for the intervals for me it's every 12 months 👍 I've got Pirelli corsa tyres on which were great on track. Don't think id take it off road with these tyres but certainly wouldn't mind trying with some orlther more dirt type tyres Suspension settings is completely standard. Next track day I'll start making some amendments 👌
@@nithinjacob7455 heya! Fellow indian here aswell😁 doubt i'll be offroading the thing but according to what i've seen frm BikeWorld's vid, it seem to handle it ok Although i've yet to see a 950SP here, are they availiable, the websites shows info on only the 950 non sp aswell🤔 Thoughts?
@@nithinjacob7455 Only 3 950 SP allocated for India . Not sure bout RVE. If your one of the lucky ones do post a video, would like to track real world review out here.
Can I ask, is there much difference between the 939 and 950? Looking at the torque curves the 939 seems to do quite well. I'm thinking of buying a 939, there is a 950 2nd hand going for sale too. But for almost 40% more. Not many options here in the Philippines. Any thoughts welcome. 🍻
Id go for the 939 amd save some money. Maybe you'd notice a very small difference if you rode the bike back to back, but in isolation you'd struggle to notice. Enjoy buddy 👍
Here’s how to pop a wheelie from a OG. Really any sport bike is the same. Accelerate in second gear. Half way through second quickly flash the clutch in and out and at the same time roll the throttle full. It’s that easy. Before you go.. put your toe on the brake and find where the brake bites. Cover the brake. When the wheelie goes high, toe goes down just a bit. Now bloody hell get on with it and don’t stop for the police
Thank God, I will buy one for myself
I have a few bikes in the garage, the Hyper gets all the love and attention. So much fun.

I have a KTM 1290 SAR and this week pick up my 950sp. Good video mate. The KTM is awesome but big for around town and I wanted to flick the back roads
"on the roa - or should I say private road" when referencing wheelies was brilliant 😂

Great review and new subscriber . Lookin at a Hyper to go with my Tuono Factory. Hope a can find one in the spring and this Covid bs is not causing more bike shortages
Got a 821 for 8 years still looks brand new
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together and explaining some of the settings. Bike sounds amazing with the under seat Zards. Will subscribe for any useful tips as I pick up my SP next week. Stay safe,
You'll love it. 👌
I used to own a 2009 Hyper 1100S and am seriously looking at these 950 sp's... Awesome video super informative, Tom!
Great 1st video, nicely put together and informative, nice to listen to. I have a hyper950sp too :)
Nice, just ordered mine. Cant wait!
Excellent first video , keep up the good work 👏
Just bought a used 821. I'm 5'9" and tippy toe at stops. Dropped the bike today just losing it at a stop 🙉 Definitely going to take getting use to and will have to do some parking lot practice to get the muscle memory for one leg down.
Helpful video, thanks for posting. Would love one of these!
Looking forward to the next one. Nice run down on the settings. I bet she still makes you giggle every now and then.
It does, this bike will never fail to put a smile on your face 😀
Great video Tommy, I love anything Hypermotard! I was surprised to see my home town of Fareham featured in this one!
Thanks Ian. I'm new to the area. Let's hope the neighbours like the sound of the hyper as much as we do 🙈
Thank you for an excellent video. Keep up the good work. You have a great style. Keep the videos coming. I'm very sure you'll grow your following.
Also thank you for the comprehensive review of the hyper. I'm on the fence about what to get. Previous bike was a s2r monster. Looking for something different.

What did you pick? Happy? I've narrowed it down to the same 2 bikes...
Hi love the video hope to be getting a standard with quicshifty if it ever arrives been told October
Im having same issues! I heard its mainly due to EVAP system that causes vapor lock when engine is warm. There is a delete kit made by "Smart Moto".
Great video man.
What year is this Hypermotard SP?
I’m thinking of changing my 20 S1000R, it has a rear set riding position as standard, so my question is, does the Hyper have the same position, or does it need rear sets, as the new MT09SP has that said position also?

I’ve been looking at the hyper and the aprilia tuono factory any thoughts on which is more fun?
950 sp or 950 rve?
Hi,may i know i see ur meter above that yellow light,is that low fuel logo?
Thats showing the traction control is switched off. Makes attempting wheelies a little easier 👌
@@tommychapman4650 oo ic thanks for the info~
Could you compare Hypermotard vs Street triple 2022 and MT-09 2022? I'm considering about that.
When riding motorcycle anyone want exciting, Hyper gives it to anyone.
I love this bike! Great review! Were you able get insurance to cover you on track?
Thanks Perry.
I didn't take insurance, it is available through bemoto.
👍
@@tommychapman4650 you are a brave man! It's not even offered as an option here in oz, as far as I know
@@perryburns6515 brave or stupid. I've already crashed 2017 aprilia rsv4 on track. 🙈 lack of talent was the main cause 😂

How does the exhaust feel if you rev the throttle on your Willy?
😂😂 there's 2 large exhausts, still waiting on your visit we can try it together
How’s the gas mileage?

Why the F no fuel gauge? That’s just annoying AF. I mean cmon. All that tech, the TFT, the ride modes, but no bloody fuel gauge.
How is the wind at speed?
