There is a pretty cheap local low mile bike that I have my eye on, but unfortunately its not an S.

Offer him $7k + split cost to ship >>> $7,500.
It's been on CL for 17 days.
I try to help, grasshopper...but you don't listen.

You shopping for a Hyper, Peter?

My 0.02, as if you asked

I have both a '08 1100 and a '08 1100S. The non-S rides so much nicer and is overall so much more comfy and relaxed feeling. Its like 2 different bikes. Not sure what you want the bike for, but if you're going to track day it, then yeah, get the S. Otherwise, I feel the non-S is a better around town and non-hyper-speed cruiser.

Nice! I sure enjoyed riding a Honda 250 around CR a few years ago.

Did the '08 have the Siemens ECU? Much easier to re-program those IIRC.

I loved my 93 900SS but had to sell it when 80 felt like walking.

What is a hypermotard made for?

It's for going slightly faster than that 900ss but With an upright, "task-chair" stance. Very fun.

Us Old Farts that can no longer deal with clip-ons and rear-sets....Gonna put up an ad to sell my KTM 625 SMC and go shopping...........

I commute daily to/from NYC on a KTM 690 Duke. No better tool for the job in my opinion. Supermotard bikes are light, nimble, quick off the line, and narrow for squeezing between taxi cabs.

[Don Ro]

Similar to 'whos' your favorite child?'
If I had to pick one bike...and only one...it would either be my BMW R1100S or my Duc. Hyper 1100S EVO SP. I have a Duc Performance tank bag and a Ventura luggage system on the Hyper....I run errands on it and it's my Costco grocery getter.
So it's a utility bike for me and I chase around while doing so.
When grocery shopping or running errands I'll take the long route just to have some good fun.
It's gets close to everything that I want in a bike.

Notice the nifty seat cover...from Italy.

[Chocaholic]

That's a nice looking 'tard.

Not a sentence that gets much use at cocktail parties.

[JavaBrewer]

I have entertained a Hyper but for a DD 50 miles/day the range is too short with that little gas tank. Looks like fun - though I agree the front fender is something only a mother could love.

[Don Ro]

Neat thing about the Ventura luggage system is that they have all manner of racks, etc.
When I don't have that huge bag on it I remove the underneath frame & put on a holding "U" bar. So the system basically disappears.

Don't get me started...
.
Power commander and dyno to totally eliminate the innate surging, 3T up with a quick change rear sprocket, dumped the 180 rear for a 170.
Now it's a smooth as deer guts on a door knob ...but a screaming banshee.
And amazingly nimble.

Similar with the Monster but no PC. Changed the counter shaft sprocket one tooth, dyno tuned and re-mapped. Plenty fast for an old fart like me.

So I spent this past Sunday enjoying a social distancing exercise with my son. Gotta say I really enjoyed my time on this '08 Hypermotard - such a fun experience, great seating position, fun noises, easy to ride. My son recently entered the bike scene and will be leaving for the Navy towards the end of the year. I was not planning to re-enter the riding scene so soon but have started looking at classifieds. I have sat on the newer versions but not ridden. I really liked the raw look/feel/sound of the '08 - the one pictured has 30K miles on it and was very nice.





Anyone have tips, warnings, suggestions with this Ducati line? I want to keep total price in the $6-8K range and under 15K miles. Folks always say newer is better, just checking
