Apparently the standard version feels better on the road for the average rider than the more stiffer feeling S model. The quickshifter is a must have item 👍🏼👍🏼
@@turbobike749 Cheers, that's really helpful info. I'm no Rossi so I'm sure the standard would be more than adequate for my average ability. Will also bear the QS in mind.
ducati is a slow bike. 950cc supersport supposed to be a literbike category around 200ps. and the price of this are far more expensive than japanese liter bike that have 200+ps.
@@ancogbernard You're missing the entire point of this bike. It's a sports tourer that's more leaning towards the sporty side. It's not a full blown supersport like the name suggests.
Thanks for taking the time to make a video on this, i just picked up a 2019, it's the best bike i have ever ridden. If you do any more mods please do a video. Do they make a power commander for this?

Here's one . I've done approx 19000 miles on mine . ( 2017 model) Apart from oil and filters and tyres . It's had 1 chain . 1 battery ( in 7 years !) Always on an optimate. Been to Germany / Switzerland / Belgium/ Holland on it from UK . Never missed a beat . Its got a fitting for Sat nav under front of tank . USB under seat . Connection for charger under seat . Handles well and goes well . Forget the BHP . It's got a great power to weight ratio . You don't need brute power ..The screen also rises for motorway use . It also has 4 hoops underneath seat which you can expose and attach luggage to. As for price , well that's down to perception.Mine cost £12000 7 years ago , they are about 14000k now.($17000) Don't confuse them with V4s and Panigales which are very much more expensive . Negatives ....tank range not brilliant ..Seat not too comfy ...probably does suit a person of wide girth and tall height. All in all , an excellent thing . I won't be parting with it in a hurry
I have this bike, and without the baffles, full system it sounds sweet. Who cares if you are only making around 110hp, its all usuable on the street. upload a vid with out baffles with the mic a tad closer than on this one.
Cheers for the comment mate.I have since also fitted another system without the baffles. Sounds incredible !! I will see if I can get it back in for a rev up and also see if any power difference.
@@whitealiens Ducati's quoted power is crank HP not wheel HP, so the bike is actually very healthy, making more than 110hp at the crank if it is making 108 at the rear wheel! The Dyno is measuring power at the wheel.
Maybe the best thing about this weight savings? Maybe less heat pouring out? I mean the bike is pretty much a hog considering it is a high end Italian Sport Bike I would think more in the sub 420llb range all gassed up but no and the worst thing about all this ia the bike is still a dog compared to what else is avaiable. Yes a comfy dog and that is what it has going for it more than anything I suppose...arguably more economical bit seriously? If springing for Italian Job who is scrimping anyway?
Crap load of money and hassle for slight power gain one will totally take for granted immediately following....seriously why bother. It's a heartache if you ask me trying so hard to improve everyday bikes ....been there done it too many times ...would have to be SERIOUS improvement for me to drool over anything....MEH And that opinion without even taking into account having to repack the can every few thousand miles! AND the extra NOISE even when the packing is fresh ....it is just dumb IMHO I mean this is NOT a trackbike so an extra few percent power wont buy ANYTHING save vanity perhaps
Wow that sucks just 3hp. That is the last Straw that broke the camel's back. No joke i was going to Sign the paperwork today at the dealer for my 2019 ducati supersport and buy the Exhaust kit and have it installed at the dealer for 17k but now, Got back my deposit and just got my 100% new old stock 2018 Hayabusa for 12k out the door price.

Good video. Surprising, that the power increase is quite moderate, considering a full Akra-System.
I should try and get the bike back in and give it some runs without the DB Killers installed in the mufflers.

Nice. I have the Akrapovic sytem on order for mine😁
I think that after replacing the exhaust, you need to make a new engine map. Was it made?
Flash the ecu so it's unrestricted on throttle. Would probably brake the 110hp barrier
Awesome thanks
Can you tell us the torque for urban ride mode?

These pipes look quite a bit higher. Issues using the stock panniers?
Hi mate. Sorry but I cant remember how it goes with the pannier clearance.
@@turbobike749 No worries, thanks for the reply. Cheers from Vermont!
they will not fit
There is no medium power mode on this bike

I will see if I can get it back in for a rev up and also see if any power difference.
After second gear the bike is slow. I love the bike but it needs the v2 engine
Why can't akra design the exhaust to be lower on bike and on one side for best handling and center of gravity?
It's Titanium so the weight isn't really an issue
Did you need to do a tune?
Silencer is in ?
Does the bike have to be remapped and tuned after installing an Akrapovic exhaust or termignoni exhaust?
no but should be
weird torque line with the akrapovic
Sounds mint !
Should’ve taken the baffles out!
I think we may try them out too.
Would ge great to see the dyno result without the db killer !
I did . And nearlly blew a copper of a wall whilst he was having a cup of tea 😂
Dang ... wish I have this exhaust on my bike. But cost too much $
Sound mint !
Any way to still have a passenger? With this exhaust setup?
Nope
Just think what it would do with Carbon Fiber wheels.
Could only be better ! Carbon wheels are nice !
Not worth the extra 3,500 in parts plus 500 in Dyno remap
£2500 for the Akra plus about £500 of Dyno tuning for 4hp, doesnt seem worth it really.
$2,000 for 3 HP!? And please dont say its sounds great or better.
Haha
Actually you have to pay 2k and not even get factory claimed 110hp, that's very sad.
@@whitealiens Ducati's quoted power is crank HP not wheel HP, so the bike is actually very healthy, making more than 110hp at the crank if it is making 108 at the rear wheel! The Dyno is measuring power at the wheel.
Why not say it if it’s true?
More like $3500
Where you guys located?
Minimal £250 per Hp increase.
$3500 pre install cost for an exhaust that adds minimal performance gains and takes away pillion pegs. Seems like a waste.
Only $1160 per hp🤨
I will never do this to my ss

Great looking bike but too under powered. They need to make one of these with the 1260 motor...
Hell yeah that would be soo good. I agree a 1260 would be the go.

We should build one 😀😀
@@turbobike749 No. Ducatis are better with just enough. This bike has as many horses as a 996, or an ST4S. That is enough.
