I am 5’5 guy and tiptoe both foot but once I ride this Hyper, I am so enjoying the hype of this bike and never feel getting back to any other bikes
For the extra £3600 I would expect the Termignoni end cans as well. Very expensive when you consider the BMW S1000R with semi-active suspension and quick shifter is only £1100 more than the standard bike. Lamby forgot to mention the RVE comes standard with the quick shifter (the base bike doesn't). I own an RVE, and in my opinion the best value / bang for buck bike is the standard model with quick shifter, racing seat and metal footpegs added for an extra cost of about £600.
Superb review as always chopsie, I bought one last year and can confirm this bike will do everything. Done 5k miles in 11 months and just can’t leave the thing alone. Love it.
I chose the SP as I realised I'd only go and buy the extras if I went base model. Price up wheels and suspension and suddenly 3k extra is a bargain.
Would love a SMC R comparison video!
I think the correct answer is a slightly used SP, to my eye it had a nicer livery than the update. Either way getting the suspension setup to you should make it work wherever you prefer.
Call me biased though because I'm picking up a 2020 this week.
I'm looking at a 2019 mate
@@dononebullen it's in alot of ways a terrible bike, uncomfortable and impractical and I couldn't care less. Perfect if you're a loner like me who only gets a couple hours to go have fun.
Get yourself a slip on though from the factory the noise doesn't match up. No real need to chase fractional power on an expensive full system if you don't want
Took my Hyper from Peckham all the way to the IOMTT, once I got there, AMAZING!
It's a category I'd always ignored, having owned everything from classics to out-and-out sports bikes, a GS 1250, a Tiger 900, etc. But in fact they are kind of the most fun for urban riding and short twisty blasts. I recently bought a Zero FXE, which may be a supermoto/hypermoto, and is the most fun, responsive and fastest bike I've ever had!
The one and only... sold 4 of my bikes, ordered one back in April, got the message it just has arrived can go to pick it up. If it's Ducatti it can only be in the Red, so non Sp for me. Lovely review Mr Chops, spot on as allways
I purchased the first S model in 2008 luckily someone in California made a 61/2 gallon tank for it and with that and a modified short windscreen I’ve toured all over the great southwest of America . My girlfriend ebenezer tours with me and we just love the hell outta the ride .It’s comfortable and gets a lot of attention ( both of em)! Best bike I’ve ever owned!!!
Agree with everything you're saying. Owned every model in the current Ducati line up apart from a Multistrada also owned a KTM 1290 SDr. I had the 950 standard and it's hands down the most fun bike I've ever ridden bar none. Currently riding a 2022 Panigale V4 and even that doesn't make me smile like that did.
Just ordered another 😊Standard is brilliant but this time round I'm going with the SP.
how would you compare this and a 1290 sdr?
@@TierOperator Very different machines, the SDR felt a bit agricultural an doesn’t have the premium feel of the Ducati, in fact it feels and looks a bit cheap to me. SDR is a great bike though, more of an all rounder and more comfortable if you’re planning on doing longer journeys. For pure sexy fun though and enjoyment I prefer my 950SP that I now have. Turns heads everywhere I go, puts a huge smile on my face every time I ride it. The SDR was good but just lacked that special something, could never really put my finger on it. Power wise the 950 hits the sweet spot, it’s just right, loads of low down grunt but not too much that you can’t use and enjoy it on the road. The SDR had more but for me that’s what spoilt it, almost a bit too much. I prefer the handling non the 950 over the SDR too bit this is all just my opinion.
Did you sell the v4?
Your reviews have made me buy two bikes now!
Collecting my 2020 Hypermotard SP in a few days.
Chops you're the man.
Enjoy it Rono 👍
I would not undersell the practicality of the Hyper 950. It's a tremendously practical bike- if the seat were slightly more comfy, it'd be perfect for a 200mi tour on backroads/B-roads. I can strap on a tail bag, tank bag and go. I love commuting on mine (rural commute) and taking the "long way" home at the end of a workday.
2019 I bought the standard one and added the quickshifter, heating grips, short plate number holder, changed mirrors and changed the exhaust with SC projects. Now after 28k km I changed the bike with a Multistrada 4vS. I had a lot of fun with it but since I drive alot, sometimes 500km trips per day, I want more comfort. For sure I will miss the sound
I gifted myself an SP for my birthday in May of 2021 after watching your review of it. It is everything you describe. I had the suspension tuned by Dave Moss, here in California. I'm alergic to the straight-line requirements of freeways because the wind blast is annoying, but on sweepers, turns and twisties, it's dream. I opted for a custom-fitted seat by Mike Corbin; they scuplted it to my butt, so I can use it to anchor myself at high speeds. The seat position is like riding a giraffe or an ostrich. Lane splitting is a giggle, and because it's like having a balcony seat, I can look down at drivers and all of their illegal shenanigans. BEWARE of Prius and Teslas!!! I replaceed the already excellent Brembo with Brembro Stylema, which must be Italian for Stop-on-a-dime; single finger pull - no problem. Lastly: I go to a very famous Northern California motorcycle hangout and this bike continues to draw the Oooooo and Ahhhhhh crowd. Of the many reviews that I watched on YT and communications with owners, yours was the most convincing.
Brilliant stuff! 👍
Got a sp and love it , so much fun surprised I have still got a licence .
I've just bought a 2019 one owner full Ducati service history and less than 3000 Mike's basic hypermotard 950 from a Ducati dealer, I wont be able to ride it until spring as I'm still recovering from being t boned on my lovely 1290 Super Duke R in August which was written off, but I can now walk into the garage and start her up periodically and wipe a duster over her, I have never had a Duke before but just like tuned v twins after the KTM, Oh and i had the dealer fit the titanium Termignoni exhaust aswell as it only had oem system, great review Chops ......... roll on spring for me.👍👍👍👍👍👍😬👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great review. I just did a 4790 miles trip to the North Cape in Norway with my Hypermotard 950 SP. You can do long distance travel with it. It is a great fun bike. Even more so with a full Termignoni system on.
What bags are you using?
Kriega drypacks
Tried both and got the RVE. For road usage felt the SP was an overkill. Amazing bike, brings a smile on my face every time I ride. Regards LCR😊
Oh Chopsy you need to do the same comparison with the KTM 890 and the 890R
Yes good idea
He chops, I think you chould try an old 990 SMR/SMT aswell. They are still great bikes!! Maby worth an other build after the Hypermotard, they are also not so expensive anymore 😏
Both bikes look great fun. I think i would go for the standard and mod it to my taste. I demoed the standard version a couple of years ago and thought it was fantastic bike. That said, i still love the SMCR and i agree it would make a great vid to comparing the different bikes (including the Husky) - thanks Chopsy👏👍😎
Thanks Neill
Nice one Chopsie, I had the 939 a few years ago but that was more of a tall, wide barred naked and I traded it for me 701SM. I test rode the new 950 and was amazed at the massive improvements Ducati made but I couldn’t afford it at the time.
The choice is difficult, but I would buy the cheaper standard bike . Let’s be honest most people don’t head for the track , and if you do probably on a different bike . Great video Chops 👍, you obviously had a lot of fun with this one .
Yeah I'm looking to get one as my next bike and I will get the rve and spend the money saved on a full system for it
As a really tall bloke, I loved the height of my old 950 SP. That said, it's a really focused bike and not great for longer trips. My KTM Super Adventure's actually a bit nuttier feeling and obviously way more practical. Wouldn't mind having both though…
Yes really suits us taller fellas Tim 👍
I bought a 2020SP after riding both.
I'm a big bloke, and tall enough to flatfoot the SP.
It felt a bit harsh when I first picked it up, but once I set the suspension up for my weight, that "harshness" disappeared and the ride is almost plush.
The lighter wheels do make a difference.
Here in Australia, the cost to upgrade to a rear ohlins and lighter wheels added up to more than the price difference, so I chose the SP.
Our local roads are all B and C roads, no shortage of whoops and hollows interspersed with potholes, but all are nice twisties.
Not disappointed with my choice
Excellent topic. Just what I wanted to know.
Think its going to be the standard one with trick wheels later...
I bought the base version hyper 950 in ‘21. A buddy on other side of town got the ‘22 RVE bike. Let’s be honest. Yes the SP has primo suspension & a quick shifter. The RVE looks beautiful and has DQS also. The base has damn good forks stock. I go thru the corners a little higher than legal. I’ll never be able to out ride the capabilities of the bike stock and I saved a crap load of $ while having the same amount of fun.
I’ve always liked the standard livery. Looks so good! Great review as always👏
The standard livery is nothing but red. I prefer the SP livery as an older guy. The RVE looks great, but that's too blingy for me.
Top shelf bikes.
More riders need to give the hypermotards a go.
Different experience.
I'd go the standard version.
To me it looks better too.
If money is no object. I will go for the sp. I am 5'8in height. And i love the height of the sp.
I owned a 796 Hyper 2013 model. I was living in Bali Indonesia (Australian) at that time & boy did I have some fun over there. The 796 was superb over there. The roads are incredible with endless amounts of twistys to indulge in. I'm currently back living in Tasmania Australia where roads are world class & own a modified S1000XR Gen 2 (remapped & Akro headers), but I'm not satisfied. I have a serious itch to buy the new Hyper & ride these incredible roads here in Tasmania. I have'nt been able to decide which one though. But I think you've answered my question. Cheers
Throughly enjoyed that Chopsie. Thanks. I'd go for the SP version but with the spotted red paint job option I think. It has a beautiful but mean bird, hawk eye and beak look, like it's ready to prey on the pee ons. Dope!
I got the 2022 SP.. with extra’s and modified the shit out of it - people will do the same on a standard or RVE so doesn’t matter as the spending never ends - both are capable of putting most nakeds/superbikes to shame both on road and track.. but both models need so much customisation to match the rider weight/riding style to get the best out of it - 70+ videos on my channel and I still got loads more to do 😂😂
I’m lucky enough to have the 22sp, true to form review as usual, 👊✊✊
Always wanted one, loved my 701.wonder if I could fit 2 bikes in the garage.
Another great watch chops. 🤘
I ride a KTM 950SM. Use it for everything and it still brings a smile to my face .Love these large capacity super motos and this Ducati would be top of my list if I had the money.
Great review Chopsy. Bringing out the hooligan in a somewhat boring, nanny state UK👍🏻👍🏻
I have a 950 smr and a gen2 1290 superduke, if I had to sell one I would keep the 950 smr. Its just to good and so smooth
Thanks Ben 👍 😊
Thank you Mr Chops,the comparison video I’ve been desperately anticipating for ages.I’ve been looking to trade in my trusty 790 Duke for over a year and love the Hyper but always assumed you would be bitterly disappointed if you didn’t go for the SP which is outside of my financial comfort zone.This has definitely rekindled my enthusiasm for the standard bike which actually looks like pretty good value.Top review.
Did you go for it? I’ve also got a 790 Duke and have always loved the hypers too.
Great video - love the Hypers! But my goodness, the term "influencer" makes me shudder...
We do not want to see Lamb Chop’s in a bikini
Yes me too!!
Hi Chopsy, making an inprovement to an already good bike is going to cost you. Performace parts are expensive because they're often made from lighter materials that cost money. I think the people who can afford it will go for the SP model knowing they'll have something a little bit more special. Keep safe
I've been on my 22 SP for just over a year. And I must say it is probably one of the best bikes I've ever owned. The only thing I had any more fun on was an 85 rz350, but back then I only weighed 145 lb. At 215lb now I would probably look stupid on that bike.😆
I really wish you would compare the Hypermotard 950 with the KTM 890 Duke R!?! (I may be wrong, but I don't think I've seen you on an 890 Duke R?). Would love to hear your thoughts!!
No it's one of those bikes which just have not managed to ride. ktm Cancelled my booked ride twice for the 890R 😫
Ahah, for an Italian native speaker it’s really funny to hear Marchesini spellled that way 😀. Top content as usual 👍✌️
I have an RVE I live in north Devon this bike is made for these roads I rarely ride on a A roads why would you. It’s epic.
Just ordered a new standard one but added a quick shifter and heated grips. Just dont think the SP (as nice as it is) is worth all that extra money. If you factor in an extended warranty that SP would go over £16k! + the full Termingoni exhaust it would be £18k+ 😮.
I have got shot of my gsxr1000 for this, so hope its good.
Great decision, did the same almost 2 years ago and haven't regretted my decision since then. The Quickshifter is an absolute gamechanger, aswell as the SC Project if you like the noise :D
I miss the time when colours on bikes were simple and classy.
It's a hypermotard though
Fantastic bike. Well done, Ducati. 👍👏
❤❤
My first Hypermotard was a 821. The second was a 1100s. Nothing better then thet
The 1100 was an angry beast! I had the 796 & was brilliant.
@@Chris-vq5vr never driven the 796
Ok, so that got you interested in the hypamotard. Time to get in that new garage and continue the build!
Yes absolutely!!
Love your video . Please , do a comparison between the 950 SP Hypermotard and your very beautifull KTM 690 SMCR
At the same price as the streetfighter v2, you get much more for your money, sp paint scheme, ohlins & some carbon, the sp is Ducati’s best value for money bike on the market 👊✊️✊️
Im currently on my second 939sp. They’re just a bling looking bike. Dude is stretching the awesomeness a bit here. Certainly not a great track bike unless it’s a gokart track.
It's all about the wheels. Forget the bling ohlins. Just add lightweight wheels to the std version, job done
So to sum it up Chops.........you weren't to keen on the Hypomotard then? 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly mate i totally agree with you on all the points you made. I love the look and practicality of this machine and although I've never ridden one I'd know that this is a bike I would want in my garage. 👍😊
Awesome review again Chops. 👍😊
I’m in love with the Hypermotard! Only thing that concerns me is if it may be abit underwhelming compared to my 1290 Evo R? Because i’m not getting rid of the KTM, will the Hypermotard always be «2nd choice» and end up not bring used🤔
I love your video's!! Cheers.
I know it's not a new bike but i would love you to do a review on the Yamaha XT660.
My new one of 2 months.
Love it's every ride.
Another good vid Chops, love the camera work is all while riding or switching cameras by editing after
No it's all in the editing 👍
Brilliant review but what I would like to know at that price would it be better to get a street fighter v2?
Depends if you want a SFv2! The Hyper has a more focused feel
Fantastic review! - Thank you for this
Welcome Adam 👍
So the sp seems like a more aggressive choice , great review 👍🏼👌🏼
I absolutely love the 950SP.
Looks nice.
Fits a tall bloke like me nicely.
But still bought the KTM Duke 890R.
Could not get myself to pay more for a bike that's heavier, less power & torque and the KTM has better handling too.
I’ve been waiting for this exact comparison 😎
I’m going standard bike all Duci red ( got to be red )with quick shifter and full termi exhaust! Thanks chopsey 😎
When it comes to the Hypermotard, save yourself some money and go get an old 1100, ideally one of the last 1100 Evo SP. Doesnt get much better than those.
Anything after (821, 939, 950) was just marketing sugarcoating to sell more bikes at the cost of the fun factor.
In today's market, if you're after a motard-seating position bike for the twistys, and fun is your top requirement, then dont look any further than a 690 SMC-R.
Wish someone did a larger tank so the range is much better on these
...and a fuel gauge !!
I’m 6ft tall and couldn’t flat foot this bike unless I’m wearing my Sidi boots lol, always wanted the 950 SP or RVE but price didn’t make sense for how small the engine is… the 890 Duke R is like 5k less and I think that’s what ima get next 🤩
Really interesting vid & comparison. I think most Ducati SP's are genuine improvements on the base models & more desirable too but they're all just too expensive imo. There's supposedly a new Ducati Monster SP coming which I'm really interested in & I'm sure it'll be great but I'm equally sure it's also going to be really expensive for what you're getting. As you mentioned Chops, the V2 Steetfighter comes in to play which seems counter intuitive & odd marketing imo.
It's a Ducati. You get what you pay for. That's should never be a surprise. If price is a concern then that's why the market out there offers Suzukis and Yamahas
@@countbrapcula-espana True enough but there's a point where the brand name only has so much reach in terms of what you actually get. Although Ducati is a premium brand so while I don't entirely agree you get what you pay for, you undoubtedly & understandably pay a premium for a bit of exotica. As mentioned though I also think Ducati's pricing among it's own models is a little too close for comfort in places which makes me question the value. Either way though it simply comes down to you are basically right & I am too poor lol!
@ragerider6283 These things are always a sensitive issue for consumers. As a case just folks who know and can afford to pay for the Ducatis, then along comes MV Agusta and their bikes are more expensive than Ducati. I also think Ducati superior to MV Agusta. I can say owning Gen 1 2014 KTM 1290 R Super Duke and Gen 3 2023 EVO and compare KTM, a premium brand, to Ducati, the dealer network and customer service, that Ducati go out of their way to appease any of your concerns. I own a Pikes Peak V4 and Ducati always send over customer satisfaction alerts. That extra refinement is worth the hit in the wallet, for me. KTM, I love their products, but there is an air of arrogance with them. No bueno
@@countbrapcula-espana Interesting. I'd favour Ducati over KTM, but haven't owned either brand yet. Rightly or wrongly I feel Ducati are just a bit more special as well as being more attractive, desirable & reliable than KTM's imo but could be wrong.
@ragerider6283 I agree with you on Ducati being favored. I'm a huge KTM fan. I like their LC8 engines in the SDR 1290 and SAS/SAR. The one thing I have experienced and painful to the wallet is with the KTMs you have to put in the extra $$ or €€ to take the quality up a few notches. The specific parts with the KTM are the stock fuel filters, hoses, oil filters and O2 sensors. Those little things after replacement with Samco hoses, Golan billet fuel filters, titanium O2 sensors. The KTMs are slowly progressing away from their motocross agricultural minimalist mentality. You see this version by version. Ducati though is just so refined. The Audi influence shows in their improved reliability. KTM PR and dealer networking demeanor needs huge improvements still. Ducati's aftermarket pool with Ducabike, CNC Racing, Rizoma, Lighttech are vastly superior to KTMs limited market with their PowerParts dept. They need to allow a wider aftermarket.
At 5’8” I doubt if I could get a foot on the ground. Bit of a shame. Should have the Pan America electronic adjustable set up that drops down as it comes to a stop.
I'm a 5 foot 6 female and ride the new 950 sp.
@@foxtailadventures That’s good news. A number of those Dukes are pretty high off the ground to get good ground clearance.
@@foxtailadventures What is your leg inseam? And do you feel ok on the bike? Thanks for your effort!
@@kaischauble9915 hi my inseam is 28 inches. I ride tall dirtbikes so I'm use to tall bikes. The height of this bike is not ideal for me but if I slide off the seat a little when I stop it's totally doable. For someone short new to riding tall bikes it could be a real pain. It kinda just depends on how bad you want it.
@@foxtailadventures Thanks! Sliding off the seat - quick enough - seems to be the trick.
I think the older air cooled 1100s look better and are just cooler bikes 🏍 😎
You nailed it
I’d be happy with a standard, but I’m happy with my Multi V2S which is a bit more flexible…lot lower too😀
Great review!!
I've always wondered in these comparos where suspension is the main difference--were the suspensions being set up not only for the rider weight but also rider preferences as far as ride absorption/stiffness. .
Great review!
La regina delle hypermotard ela 1100 evo...no elettronica coppia 11 kgm a 4500 giri. Fidati 28 anni di ducati in Italia.
Great video mate! Wondering if you are in line to do a follow up video on the Katana? I know you did one a while back and you said you would try to get one for an in depth ride did that ever happen i cant seem to find a video on it other than the group ride in the rain! Thanks!
Yes that's a good point I never did.. 👍
Tragically, I think the SP paint-job would be worth a good few quid to me. Also, would the SP (not) hold its value better? I may have missed the seat-height, but I doubt I could reach the deck anyway, so...
2:47 "So you juss got, y'know you jiss kk ckck yee I mean look at diss!"
How about testing either one against a KTM 950 SMR, old vs. new kind of thing. I love my SMR, so I would watch it.
Suggestion for a comparison video: Ducati 950 Hypermotard Vs KTM 890 Duke-R 🤔.
Rather have the stock bike for the road, I've ridden both and the non sp was better for the roads, if you're that bothered about the suspension, well there's always ktec or maxton to upgrade them....both of those companies are better than ohlins....
Have you ridden the new Monster, 40 pounds less and same engine
No not yet! Hoping too soon
Nice video and great review! I'm in the market for a 690 smc-r or a hypermotard 950sp.
New single hypermotard coming very soon! 77 hp engine 😍
Excellent video as always! Well done!
Any chance this Ducati media day allowed for some seat-time on the new Monster? I’d love to see your thoughts on it. While the Monster is a very different bike, I’m curious how you think it compares having the same engine but with a lower curb weight and more traditional seating position than the Hypermotard.
It's a bike I want to try but didn't get a chance again! I will ride one soon 👍
SP is also the only version with quickshifter U/D
Nice one Chopsie!
Not sure how the 2020 950 SPs are priced in the secondary market in the UK but I frequently see them at 12 to 13k USD with 10k miles or less here in the US. Possible 3rd option for those looking at hypers?Livery looks better than this year's as well imo. Orrrrr just get the lighter, better handling, more fun 890 Duke R ; )
Awesome vid as always, Chopsy! Would you ever consider doing a review vid of Knox's new Oulton gloves? Would be curious to know your thoughts, sponsored or not....
Yes, but the quality of KTM is not really good, and it looks like a fart
Can't wait for the SMVR vs HYPER
Yes me too! 😎😎
Have to agree with you chops, my favourite Ducati as well. Although I’m biased and will never sell my Hyper 939. #Smiles4Miles
Hi lamb chop can you help me make up my mind between a monster SP and a hyper Motard SP? Just don’t know what the differences would be.
I have both a KTM Duke 890R AND a KTM SMC 690 R which is about right between the Hyper SP--and each great bikes in their own right, SO why I am wondering what about a SP to do both jobs? It would look nice in. the garage with my new Pikes Peak Multistrada which I am smitten with (Came from a Superduke GT which really wasn't optimized for 90% two-up riding). The PP just has refinement and best handling big bike ever. I think I would need a new Hyper model upgrade made lighter, for starters maybe. I hear Ducati has 7 models with upgrades for 2023 rolling out September-November. Just maybe.
Billiant work - I really want one now 😊
Thanks Chops!
Question that comes to mind is fuel gauge and seat height . Otherwise nice machine Chops, well done .
No and high! 😆
Hypermotard 950sp or a street fighter v2?
Would love to see a comparison or discussion on this
Same here 👍
for really tight mountain roads, which should I buy? HMotard SP or Monster SP?
the Ohlins on my Triumph Daytona Moto2 has ruined me for standard suspensions!
I just bought a used 2020 with lots of Rizoma bling, in person the standard model just doesn't look as nice.
I’m contemplating to swap in my mv agusta brutale 800 for a hyper. Or just buying an older sm to hooligan about.
What’s the competition for it? You would categorize this as a super Moto?
I'll take the standard bike please, even at current fuel prices, £3.6k will get a lot miles in.
What a hoot. I think the stocker would suit me down to the ground if I could reach it. Only thing that worries me is the range of that smallish looking fuel tank?
About 150 - 160km (100 miles) until the light comes on when riding semi-hooligan.
How long you can ride with the light on? No idea. I made 40-50km once on my 950 SP. Not in full hooligan mode.
Full hooligan mode, about 120km of range before the light comes on.
(I have Termi's, decat, upmap and Starace Intake, which are a must in my opinion)
