- Yes, only a few hundred miles on the bike and we are out on track pushing the single cyclinder 698 to it's limit at the 2024 April 30th Ducati Track Day at the WSBK Donington park here in the UK.
This bike is probably even more fun than the 950 SP on track being lighter, faster in the corners, super late on the brakes and can even use the rear slide brake control to get some nice skids while passing the Panigale's.
I've filmed it using a GoPro and the new Insta 360 Go 3 helmet camera to get a POV on track - the wind was terrible on the day and apologise if that spoils the experience but bear with - theres some good banter and commentating and a bit of off-roading!

what a lovely video mate, glad I was there with you. I can't believe how leisurely some people were riding with all due respect to all. You were absolutely on it, just be careful on that rear brake, don't trust it too too much lol. Fantastic weather , brilliant day
Cheers for supporting and helping - you need to do vlog on the bikes 👌🏼
Great video man. Nice riding. That 698 seems like it's a ton of fun.
It is.. on track just need to keep momentum and not get slowed down into/out of corners where it lacks a bit of grunt
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video, great riding #1 👌🏻
Thanks.. just keeping it OEM and saying how everyone else probably feels on track 😂😂
You were ripping the shit up !! Your commentating cracked me up !! I do the same thing on the track 😂.. That bike was handling great too ... Awsome Clip 🔥🤘
Every track rider must be commentsting like that.. just need to reeuce the wind noise even with a mic inside the helmet 😂
Got my red-one last week und will do the 1000km inspection next week on friday…and than throttle 100%. So much fun to see what that little toy is able to to, enjoy and stay save, crazy man👍🏻
I serviced mine after 500km.. did it at home and then straight onto track to properly break the engine in 😂😂
Lovin it.
Cheers.. was such a hoot 👍🏻
Mate love your vids buddy 👍🏼 just be patient with other riders. Some people are there to have fun.🙏🏼.
Yeah.. I knew if i lost momentum thats me done in keeping up with the big guys - got a bit eager 😂😂
@@hypermotardking good. fire in the hole lol
@@hypermotardkingor go up into the next group skill level….
@@tonystrippoli4486 with 70bhp.. maybe next time
I enjoyed watching that, I am looking forward even more now to my test ride. Your footage reminded me of riding my 1992 TZ250 at Donnington-you can carry masses more speed in the corners and brake much later than the big bikes-but then they just piss off down the straights……
Yeah.. them straight line munchers pin it when a straight comes but you can get them on the brakes 😂
Glad to see you saved that one! Bike looks fun on track 🤙🏻
I think cuz I’m on a light bike i was able to keep it straight 😂😂
King,you piss me off, my friend 😁 I bought a 950 SP because of your reviews and now I want to buy a 698 because of you and your enthusiasm for this bike 😅👍
😂😂😂… just buy both.. still cheaper than one brand new V4R
when. did you get the 950? you may want to forget everything else first on the bike before you once start (the ocd ;) fantasizing again.
@@particleconfig.8935 ive had the 950 brand new since 2021 (3 years now).. I’m still planning content on it
Good Riding !!!
Looks like you had an awesome day !! ❤
Bring the classic next time and have a tootle - its a different kind of vibe
Epic video mate. You weren’t wrong about your off road trip lol damn.
😂😂😂.. cheers man
That was Awesome. 😊😊😊😊😊👍🏻
Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
Great riding and what a bike! Congrats 👍
Thanks man 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic video.
👍
Cheers man 🤛🏼🤛🏼
Awesome riding mate. What a bike. The camera position on the first laps clearly shows why supermotos and dirt bikes need to loop the brake line over the dash.
Yeah.. when watching it back that loop looks like target practice for the next bike to overtake 😂😂
You are a total riot! Subbed! 🤣
Awesome man.. thanks 🤛🏼🤛🏼
Hi Kal, great footage 😂 love your grass tracking 😂 watching video, didn’t realise how slow some rides are. If not to slow if you know what I mean…
I was being a bit too eager to get past that V4 and should have waited till old hairpin.. but hey ho, good off road test 😂😂
Hahaha, that was fun to watch, i've come off exact same place same reason, luv it.
Hahaha… its a good spot to overtake on the outside - if theres room
Lap times from the sp for comparison, 1. 52!! Well ridden, loved seeing the suspension work with the brake hose going up and down in the fisrt half.
My best time on the 950 SP around Doni is a 1:48 (ironically the same laptime as my R1).. so to only be 7 seconds slower which is probably the 7 small straight sections where i lose out on top speed
Nice mate.. on and off track 👏👏😎
😂😂.. cheers 👍🏻
@@hypermotardking a lot of the other riders would of had a much better day if they had a 698, riding a smaller bike flat is better then not pushing a bigger bike .. on track or road.. and off road 😂
@@ProjectMoto 100% and couldn’t agree more - a hell lot cheaper too
Nice one. Great vid.
Definitely needs a little orange to mix things up a bit though 😁
We’ll soon find out 😂😂
Appreciate all the hypermotard 950 content ! Might be cool to get a insta360 x3 camera, if you put it on a pole off the back it’ll look like you have a drone following you around.
Thanks.. honestly never been a fan of the 360° - hard enough to edit normal pov footage 😂
That was awesome! You totally killed on your track day?
Get out to a track and really test this bike.. only so much you can safely do on the roads 👍🏻
great fun.....out of choice would u take the 950 next time on track or stick with the mono. seemed a bit painful on the straights.
depends on the track.. cadwell would be more 698.. Brands GP the 950…
Was also hit by a stone on the track, it felt like a bullet.
Fuckin hurts doesn’t it 😭😭
1. Great riding, I love passing people on my rc390, less power better braking is so much fun
2. Could you pls tell me how you fit the in-helmet camera, it was a great addition to this video
Its the 360 Go 3, the black one.
I got a small magnet from Amazon, cut a small hole inside helmet left side in the fabric and glued the magnet inside there - then the Go3 just sticks to it using the magnet 👍🏻
Nice one. Did you change your suspention set-up from stock or lowered the front? How was the Rosso IV on track?
I followed the compression/rebound settings from the manual to their sportiest setting fror front/rear.. haven’t lowered the front yet. Rosso IV surprised me, rear grip and corner speed were awesome
Nice laps Kal I have a shit ton of videos behind the bars on my hyper but I don't want to post them because they're on the street if you know what I mean. I had one question what do you weigh with all your gear on that you would ride track with? Last time I checked I was 230 lb which is heavy for a rider. I would love to have an old-school two-stroke rz500 or something similar but I know I'm too fat for that bike😆
Me in all my track gear (air bag vests etc) is about 80-85kg… 👍🏻
A good example as to why it should be bike type groups not fast and slow groups as Mr Neeves suggests
Good point that… 👍🏻👍🏻
nice vid and riding! hows it compared with the 950hyper? tnx
@@benitopacho542 Obviously lacks a bit of grunt out the corners but can easily hold carry the speed through the corners.. seems i can be a bit stupid and have more fun with this
@@hypermotardking nice! will book a test ride, and see how it goes from there, hahah!
the lightness of the bike might compensate the lack of grunt, hopefully 😁
Looks like more fun then I thought that bike would be, with being a single, but god please do something with those cables never understood why Ducati done that with this bike and most of the Scramblers,
Im new to this supermoto look and i don’t like them - but all ktm/husky have them 😭
This leaked testing footage of the enduro 698 version? 😂 Good save mate!
😂😂😂… thats a good one 👍🏻👍🏻
What’s the orange light on the LHS of the dash??? Traction/Wheelie control?
yes
Most likely the DTC.. was No.2 in morning and then dropped it to No.1
I didn’t notice any head shake in this or the 690 comparison video. Was there any?
Head shake.. ? Sorry, you lost me 😭
Head shake sometimes occurs when getting hard on the brakes the handlebars start to oscillate back and forth. In other words, it didn’t appear the bike needs a steering damper. Correct? It looked pretty stable from all the hard braking that I saw.
@@rickflores2420 Yeah, no headshaking occuring.. didn’t feel the need for a steering damper.. the bikes light and agile so just goes 👍🏻
Hi how did the 698 lap times compare to the 950 lap times?
7 seconds slower on 698 compared to 950
50kg lighter and 30bhp down
How the fuck you’ve not dropped that I’ll never know! 🤣 Fair fuckin play to you lad!!
Dunno myself.. its a light bike.. grass was dry and got lucky 😭😭
Pure determination to stay up right. 😮
Why are you using the clutch?
My dealer didn’t have tbe quickshifter i ordered
@@hypermotardkingok, but you don’t need to use it to go to higher gear. Just roll off slightly and kick it up simultaneously
Well mate I am thoroughly convinced that I have too much bike and not enough skill ( EBR 1190RX) my bike has to much power really I don’t have the skill you have so I really have no business owning it😄I’m sure you would have lapped me several times if I where there was there as well 😂, with that said I’m going to sell or trade my bikes for the the Ducati 698 Mono , you look like your where having so much fun! Would you say is your Ducati 698 mono is the most favorite bike and most fun bike you’ed ever owned?
In the short space I’ve owned it and sitting next to my 950 in the garage, for just jumping on.. going for a ride.. forgetting about life and enjoying the moment - the 698 is my goto bike 👌🏼👌🏼
@@hypermotardking yeah your 950 whilst it’s your fastest bike on the street , you can crack that throttle only so much until your doing felony speeds and shattering speed limits to the point where you could anger the cops and citizens of England to easily 😆where as on your 698 mono you can still have fun on a slower bike! Keep the Videos coming mate !
@@motosportadv8177 100%
I want to see knee action 🤣 nice video. I love how you was passing the big bikes in the turns. Someone bikers just go fast on the straights
😂😂 im not that tall and the bike is tall aswell so I’m far from the ground
@@hypermotardking its not about height 🤣🤣 I have the notifications on the not miss that video when uploaded 🤣
Top speed 198/km
maybe a bit more about 130mph / 210 kmh
