Ducati Hypermotard 950

Anyone on here got one?

Seriously considering one of these, took a fancy to one when the 950 was launched at the tail end of 2018 and watched the usual reviews in 2019, especially 44t’s review.

The wife says I’m a twat but her opinion doesn’t count, I like it, I think it would suit my needs perfectly especially with what I’d use it for, the occasional commute etc and it’s a lot cheaper than the other bikes I fancy.

Not overly fussed about the SP model, there’s a non SP that I have my eye on that has the DQS fitted which is all I’d miss with the non SP but the previous owner obviously had it fitted.

A quick google shows that there maybe a stalling issue that worsens with age possible linked to tank deterioration and subsequent deposits in the throttle bodies.

Yeah seen that. A lot of it seems to be in the states as oppose to here.

It's another of those bikes that I like the sound of but can never pull the trigger on one. I had a go and ended up wondering what it was for, it's not a SM, it has some of the characteristics of one, including discomfort but it's not one, and it's not quite a road bike either.

I've looked at them and came to the same conclusion as Potter, it's too heavy for a Supermoto, and too uncomfortable for a road bike.

Looks great, a right laugh. If it's anything like my ktm 950sm in spirit, you'll have loads of fun on it but you won't want to be on it for more than a couple of hours.
