"Tally Ho" is that a reference to Samdon Boat Co launching the Tally Ho historic sailboat after 7 years of restoration a few says ago?
Hypermotard is what they called me in high-school
Leaning difficulties?
Ha! Good one😂
Sure it wasn’t re- instead of mo-?😉
@@xouat it can fit on the short bus too
Did you also happen to ride the short bus?
Zack has one of the best jobs ever. riding to work is his work.
He also writes a ton of articles
@@tchandler187 Stars in a ton of videos. Hosts a long-ass podcast. Dude earns his paycheck for sure.
Like I said dream job.
and getting flown to other countries on the company's dime to test new motorcycles
@@yamaharacing85 Definitely not as glamourous as it seems, but it makes good content.
Zack always surprises me with how skilled he is, yet he's not boasting or pulling a lot of attention to it. He just subtly shows that these things are possible with these bikes.
You should listen to the latest Highside-Lowside Podcast episode to hear about how skilled he really is, especially on a track
Pretty sure he did some supersport class racing in his day.
That loop over the dash would bug the hell out of me
i can't stop looking at it
It bugged me a bit on my CRF, but you kind of stop noticing it after a couple of 100-mile
Whats it for?
The front brake line@@TheBorre
So how would you design a brake line that works with a lot of fork travel? People have no clue anymore how anything works 😢
You've titled the first section "A quick walkaround of the SMT 890"
lol😂
I've been told they've got a new guy uploading videos to youtube.
Haha, good catch. Copy and paste from the previous vid.
Jumping spiders are *awesome*! They're actually trainable at a basic level, they don't make messy webs, they're completely harmless, and best of all they're a predator of poisonous spiders, so they'll kill things like black widows and the brown recluse. They're kind of friendly and playful little creatures... Like the Hypermotard 698!
I was not aware of that!
Trained killer spiders are tight
When I was a kid, I'd get an ant infestation in my bathroom each year, during the Florida rainy season. Each season, I'd catch and release a jumping spider in the bathroom. The ant problem would get resolved, and the spider would presumably let itself out through whatever path the ants were using to get in. 😁
@@starkparker16and barely an inconvenience.
Black widows have never been a problem for me. Having dealt with them in what feels like the millions with them loving hay sheds.
We don't have Brown Recluse in California.
Zack's reaction to that "big" spider at the end was adorable
I have the 2007 Hyper 1100. It has no rider aides or modes, is almost double the power, and still the same snappy throttle. It is, and I can’t emphasize this enough, EXTREMELY fun. The best, most fun bike Ducati makes
I dont belive it, will test tho.
I have a 2011 Hyper 1100. Insanity on wheels; I absolutely love it
That stoppy was EPIC!
My man is not lapping up the Ducati BS and stays objective as a moto journalist should... I'm proud!
Not lapping up the Ducati BS? He absolutely loved the bike even if it doesn't make a great daily rider.
@@elgrunto1428 liking something flawed is allowed. I’m sure there are plenty bad movies you like. As long as you understand what it is it’s no issue at all.
Ducati derangement syndrome 😂😂✌️
Always look forward to a new episode of Daily Rider, even if it's a bike I'm not interested in, there all good!
They're
@@tvens1 LOL! I knew that, and yet it slipped past me. Thanks. 😊
701/690 when?
Hi Zack,
your reviews are the best! Keep up the good work! Greetings from a hungarian engineer in Germany!
I totally enjoy these daily rides.
Thanks for Daily Riding my dream bike Zack - you're the man! 🙂
About the dash: that's part of why I chose the Street Triple R over the RS. I'm not watching movies on the thing, just checking my speed and occasionally which gear I'm in. And menus don't really matter to me either. After a couple of weeks I almost never use them anymore; I've got it set where I want it. I can see why a motorbike journalist/reviewer would care more since you're riding different bikes and swapping among them more often than I do. I also realize I'm a curmudgeon.
The best watchable and informative bike channel on video or in print. Thanks
been waiting for my fav riders to review this beautiful machine :) thanks friends
I’ve been in love with the hypermotard ever since high school
And I still can't afford kne
What a great time to be a rider when so many tasty options are out there for every mood!
Thank you for this DR, I was curious about your opinion!
The perfect evaluation. Very much appreciated, your review seemed to hit the mark spot on.
I agree, as long as the screen provides all the useful information, colour tft or not makes no difference
Amazing the power to weight. Lighter the bike or car means better acceleration, braking, and handling. Typically more expensive to lighten a vehicle vs placing a larger motor. Good job Ducati. Lighter is better. Love the styling
Now you've done the 698, you have to do the 690/700/701, you kinda have to :>
It would only be fair... Journalistic curiostity hopefully let’s us see that.
i was waiting for zack to review this bike, havent watched a single review out there
YES. Ive been wanting a video on this bike for a while.
Great review, thanks for sharing you excitement!!
I love that you reviewed the hypermotard. Would also love to see a review pf a husky sometime 701 or 801.
I love your videos or is uploads these days, I’m showing my age 😂, the range of bikes is fantastic, but I’m unsure if the manufactures had dirt roads in mind when building some of them, but it’s a short cut, so that’s ok 😂🤣😂. That laugh of yours cracks me up, when you open the throttle a little too much or pulling a wheelie it makes my day. One thing I often wonder, when your talking and your hands are making the movements, I wonder what people wonder when they pull up next to you, maybe just another crazy guy in the world 😂, anyway stay safe and keep putting the content out 👍
As a 698 owner this is a very comprehensive review of the bike. Very well done sir 👍
This bike is not for everyone but I’ve ridden a lot of bikes and this thing is fantastic.. first bike I’ve ever felt 100% comfortable throwing around and hammering on and ripping wheelies whenever your heart desires 😎
Funny that not having a smartphone screen on a motorcycle dash is something that needs excusing. I personally much prefer a simpler dash, regardless of which motorcycle. Same with cars for that matter.
Am I old???
For this bike the dash is super nice. Look what KTM gives you.
I’m with you. Simplify more please. Though we’re probably both old, let’s be real.
Didn't expect to see you here. This bike is priced around the same as the next unique melody release.
Nah, your points are valid. These expensive screen speedometers sometimes get broken with too much sunlight. Not only that, speedometers usually get smashed to pieces on certain crashes, I'd rather have an analog or a cheap replaceable led display.
Matter of bike class and price. For that money I defo want nice, big and easy to use TFT .
They don't have to be complicated.
They sometimes are but just because mfg is lazy or have terrible designer for gui.
Simplicity argument is miss, more expensive if break, sure.
Tft with good gui design will be more readable and easier to use than that clock contraption from 1990
Still loving my Hyper 1100 after 12 years with it.
Nice bike.
Small note on misnamed chapter @1:15 "A quick walkaround the 890 SMT"
Scary flashbacks to the "Stand By Me" railroad bridge scene as you were riding between the lake and the tracks there... thanks.
Its a shame you never reviewed the 701 SM
That ferris wheel of a cable above the dash display would drive me insane…
Loving the motorcycle selection this season. Moto Guzzi has been on my mind lately for their character, ktms are always on my mind for their fun engine. Hypermotard had caught my attention when I saw couple of hooligans weaving through traffic in NYC, and now you've covered that as well. Great work!
Supermoto content again. We are spoiled and I l love it!
Lot of power to go curb hopping. Looks really cool too
The spider at the end looks like a jumping spider. They're the best bois.
Love the Videos! Can you review the Triumph Bobber pleaseeeeeeee 👌👌👌
Already got a few bits for mine from SRmoto. Loving it so far. Definitely needs an exhaust and flash though.
upvote purely for the tempting super-moto trailer jump. I thought for a moment you were going to go for it!
Big fancy dash screens are not necessary on motorcycles and one could argue they're not even desirable.
That anti-stall is really cool! We all get caught off-guard everyonceinawhile and that's a handy feature that's even good for safety.
Suzuki is using anti-stall on their bikes for ages (my V-Strom 1000 2014 has it)
@@ArtTerekhovso does sv650
Ducati is going to be making dirt bikes in the near future 💪🏽👍🏽
I just love these daily rides. Makes loooong winters bearable 👍
11:32 was exactly what I wanted to see. So the 698 is eager to wheelie without a clutch-up. Looks like my ideal urban commuter.
I prefer the look of spoked wheels but, from a practical perspective, I look forward to carrying a tire plug kit and putting tubes behind me. My 690's front tube popped just yesterday, on a country road.
Would love to see some random dashcam footy of that stoppie around 18minutes in. LoL! The control!
Always wanted one! Would take some customization to touch the ground but still want it!
I am expecting a giggle filled episode. Let’s go!!
Good job keeping yourself in check and not taking that jump at 24:30.
This is defo a dream bike for me
Objective Zack is best Zack.
10000% on the instruments--I'm tired of color TFTs that command your attention and invariably look super dated after a couple years. Kinda feels like it's trying to distract me from riding the bike. I'm ready for a switch back to simple clusters like this LCD, or dare I say even dials.
Whoever is responsible for naming these precision riding machine robots is doing a Fabelhafte Arbeit - wunderbar job!
Looks like a 690 SMC which will bring you many smiles for miles ridden. That bike would be a slayer at the Streets of Willow.
It's very much a clone of the 690 SMCR, with a slightly higher sweet spot in the powerband.
@@churchofbrap876 I don’t know how you can get much higher than the 2019+ 690/701 which is rev monster. Haha. Fun bike know matter what! Cheers.
@@Cycle9568 the 690 makes it's max power/ torque about 1500 rpm lower in the powerband. Both are screamers though.
called it on IG :)))! rates high in Zach's heart but low on the leaderboard. Also, I just sold my 690 SMC-R, this review makes me want to buy the 698...
Love to see how it compares to the 701
I have this bike. Love it.
Been waiting for this
Great video as always! Would love to see a Triumph Trident 660 someday; I think that's the perfect commuter!
Could be wrong, but i think there is an episode of it already?🤔
@@HeyAddieImTojo when the bike first came out, Sperge did a quick ride review but, not as in depth as they do here on Daily Rider. Would just love to see it .. wishful thinking maybe. 🙂
There is not a trident one yet, but he did have the tiger 660 with the same engine/breaks/most of the chassis.
@@johnmaher4649 Good point. Agreed. 🙂
Rode it but I prefer the 690smcr…not that the duc isnt a phenom…but like shoes, many produce quality comfortable pairs. They cater to feet shapes that differ. KTM fits me better: ride position, delivery of torque, overall as close to man/machine I have personally rode. One mans opinion. Thanks Zack!
Side note: I built a bored/ported 04 525sx into a SM back in the day. The Mono reminds me much of that bike but with more revs than the platform or I could ever achieve at that time/money🤣. 🤙
An energetic puppy that’s well trained 🤙🏼
This bike would be a dream on Glendora Mountain Road and the Malibu canyons.
As a guy who cycles up GMR often...I always imagine riding an SM up there.
A very interesting bike… definitely into it
Chapter 3 is mislabeled as "890 SMT" instead of Hypernotard 698. Love the daily ride!
Looks like a lot of fun without go-to-jail speeds 😊
Imma spank the blinkers off one of these next time I'm in a Ducati dealership.
Hopefully they let me ride it too :)
You should do a daily rider on the 950 SP for a comparison to this 698 mono!
I had a 12 Hypermoto 1100 EVO SP Corse for 4 years. UNICYCLE!
We need a Common Thread video with you and Arie
"Geez Louise and cheese"
Zach is adorable
The badge and the price tag mean 90% will never see more track or dirt track time than a Ducati scrambler, but damn if it’s not a cool bike!
Thanks for being honest with this. Hopefully Ducati allows you to keep riding their bikes after not putting it in first place.
Would be nice to see an adjustable suspension option to lower it
Thanks for the question @FunkyKongsNuts. How's it hanging?
One thing nobody talks about when comparing 698 to the KTMs, is the distinct lack of false neutrals, which at times drove me absolutely bananas on the 701..
False neutrals happen at least 4-5 times a ride . Just part of life with the KTM. There is a work around but a bit pricey.
none on mine yet '23 ... fingers crossed
An adv style bike with this engine, the right wheels and bigger tank might be the unicorn everyone is looking for but it might eat into the sales of the Desert X
1:15 A quick walkaround the 890 SMT
THat's a strange looking SMT.
Would’ve been nice to have the Termi’s for this review. From my understanding, this is the only way to get the “wheelie package”. A updated licensed Ducati ECU flash that helps the wheelie challenged by holding the bike near 12 o’clock in 1st-3rd without looping out. It’s got the throttle, clutch flash, and rear brake dialed. All you do is pin the gas. I mean… why else would you have this bike😆 Braaap
Bonnie T120 test please!!
Duc looks sick but when I can get a KTM 690 with both off road and sumo wheels for half the cash...it's tough to go Ducati.
I dont think it'd sell but I wish they made a dual sport one of these for the sheer ridiculousness of it
it looks fun
77hp from a 650 is actually incredible
still need the multistrada V2S on Daily Rider
Sweet bike for kart track and sunday blasts on local mountain roads. Can't imagine myself commuting on it tho. It's too neat for everyday trashing, it would be like using Porsche Cayenne for plowing.
If that's half a superbike engine with desmo valve system it's definitely capable of a lot more than 77hp. The tuners are going to go nuts with this.
Can you guys add some footage of you while sitting on the bike?
I bet you have been looking forward to this one😎💪
It’s an interesting, if irrelevant, bit of trivia that the 698’s dry weight is the same as that of the Superleggera V4. [Slightly different design briefs.]
DesertX Mono with a bit more pull at lower RPM🤔. Would be VERY intrigued.
I watched this with a cynics eye. All I saw when the review started, was KLR650 clone that was $7000 overpriced. But Zack's review made it clear, this is a very light, very tossable bike, very unlike the KLR. As the review progressed, I saw where someone would love to own one of these Duc 698 Motards. Light weight in a powerful motorcycle is a blast to live with. Especially if you have had previous experience with Ducati's and love the brand, I could defintely see this bike selling. Motorcycle makers who are not afraid to put out special models, not from a cookie cutter approach, should always be recognized for that effort. An entertaining review as always from Zack and Revzilla.
Ummmm, some guy named Mario or Luigi went to the KTM dealer and bought a 690 Supermoto and brought it back to the Ducati factory where they made their version of it. Its not that brave or original….😂
A KLR with twice the power, 100+ lbs lighter, and street wheels. So, nothing like a KLR.
This bike is very close to a KLR. They both have 2 wheels and an engine.
18:41 - I can't stop laughing at that voice crack! Sorry Zack 🤣
I'll take the SMC, no spoke wheels and the design is like a dorsoduro 750
I ride a Tuono V4 Factory but would get into so much more trouble riding this bike :)
It's a really expensive and fast DRZ400SM lol. Competition at the $13,000 mark is fierce, you would have to really want this bike to buy it and I think Ducati missed the mark on pricing.
question;
could such a highly regarded company like Ducati not find a way to loop that bit of tubing, that forms a noose above the dash currently, in some other way that maybe doesn't hang out like that?
does look like mad fun though!
I see this bizarre comment on every Hyper video. Many bikes with a lot of suspension travel have this so the brake line has room to move. Make it too low and it blocks the dash.
Makes sense, I hadn't realised
