I own the SP here in USA, and it is exquisite! My prior bike was a 2014, 1st year FZ-09, and the new SP is a huge leap above.

Idk what I like more, watching the bikes or watching Chris, my favourite reviewer .. 🔥🔥❤️ but between these two though the hypermotard is more my type. .

Seeing the mt09 compared to the hypermotard, just shows how good of a bike it is.

Another great review Chris 👌🏻 oh and the intro music and cinematography was on point!

Loved it, keep the content coming!

That Hypermotard being ridden like that.........😍 Absolutely love it. Keep 'em coming Chris! 👊😜

I gave myself the Hypermotard SP for my birthday this past May and I have to say, that even within the Ducati range, it has the personality of a rambunctious puppy. Yes, the seating position drapes your nads onto the fuel tank and the field of view is that of a hood ornament, so it does require some getting used to. Lots of torque! Also; you did a review of the 950 SP sometime back and it aided in my decision to go with the 950 SP. Thanks for all your reviews Chris.

purchased a 2015 Hypermotard SP because of this great video! helped me narrow down my purchase

I would love to see a comparison between Monster 937 , MT09Sp , Z900, KTM 890 Duke and Triumph Street Triple

Great video. I always wanted a Hypermotard. Been drooling over them since the concept model. Bought an XSR900 instead about 4 years ago. It was just too much value. I don't regret it.

This is one of the most honest reviews .. awesome

Outstanding review. I love my '20 Hypermotard for curvy roads - guaranteed more smiles per mile, but it's an unpleasant mount on the freeway.

Another great video Chris

Unexpected comparison, but when you think of it for a second, it makes a lot of sense.

Love , love your videos Chris. can we expect a 2020 1000cc superbike shootout soon?

Interesting I have the Hyper 950SP 2019, has the 939SP previously and love the mm both. I rode my brothers MT09 for a few months and thought it would make a great fun commuter.

I have 4 Ohlins equipped bikes and got the RVE because it looked crazy and I told myself “it’s not like I’ll ever take it to the track”. I did. It kicked ass. If the SP can kick more ass in the case you do track it after you tell yourself you’re not going to, you should go that route.

Love the country lanes footage. If that were me, I'd be avoiding all the gravel and debris in the centre like the plague - Chris heads straight for it! Kudos! By the way, are you planning any comparison tests with the new Monster?

I’m an average ability rider and I’d say, having done test rides on both the MT (prev version) and the Hyper, that the MT is a much easier bike to ride and therefore gives a lot more confidence. And the newer MT even more so. For a pro, the Ducati would prob be more fun.

love the bike drop in the intro reel, feels good man lmao

Hey Chris, what happened to the detailed review on ftr

I bought a new 2016 mt09 put a full race akra exhaust on it and it was f***ing insane! The power and torque would keep the front wheel just kissing the road,a real nutters bike Dam I must get another!

Another great review.

I never thought of the MT series as hyper motards at all. I always though they were hyper naked bikes. For this comparison however I couldn’t of thought of such a decent bike to compare it to, solid choice.

Brilliant video as always Chris. If I had the money I would take the awesome looking rve or the sp. The Yam in comparison looks dull and plain (although to ride it certainly is not). The fit and finish on the Duc is also in a different league. I just wish Yamaha would design the Mt series to look sleeker and more desirable.

Your confidence on those street tires in the dirt is impressive!

Since I love being on the road and not the workshop I think I will pick the MT-09.

Can you do a comparison the 890 duke R vs The MT09 SP??

sprocket's a great name for a spaniel..gonna remember that one for the future

been looking at a previous gen MT09 and a 939 sp hypermotard used as a second bike. It really is head vs heart, i've owned Ducati's and they are special, and you pay for it. On the flip side the Yamaha is nearly as wild, but will never let you down and sounds amazing in its own way. Spoiled for choice really.

What a cracking video, Chris you absolute god! Loved how your pooch just bulldozed itself in 😂

Chris the O.G.....insightful review as always.

Dude, your dog is awesome. :)

Too true, good comparison. Hyper is also good in congestion, footpaths, parks or any shortcut.

please between this bike and the Yamaha mt09 sp 2022 for street riding, which is better?

Ordered a 2022 hypermotard 950 with QS. Can't wait. Didn't go for SP as I ain't doing track.

Would have been nice to have the 701/690 involved and then the duke 890 too. PLAYTIME BIKES.

hand guards compatible for MT09??

Since we spend imaginary money I would go for Ducati SP. And since a bicycle is in the garage most of the time, I would get a fireproof window between the garage and the living room. And enjoyed the sight of the SP every day all year round!😱

Can you please compare street triple rs and hypermotard 950 sp.

I knew i had to like before even watching!!

My ultimate dream is to ride a Ducati one day.

My Hypo RVE is on order can’t wait. This will be my 3rd Duke. Just a class motorcycle.

Thank God I will buy one of each of them

When I saw the MT 09 in the air at 3:59 !!! Crazy!

Wow increíble video Es fascinante te felicito

I would love to see a cb500f or mt07 or both just get hooned around on like these two bikes went through.

@Bike World would you be able to get a royal enfield interceptor 650 and put dirt tires on it and review it as a scrambler theirs tons of people doing it world wide but they never take it off road properly

Did a testride on a Hyper and when I came back my wife said she can't remember when was the last time I had such a wide grin on my face. She basically forced me to order one for the next season.

Nice video!

Glad to see your thoughts on these. I’m a happy Hypermotard 950 SP owner. And a Tracer GT owner which is not too far from the MT-09 engine wise. My experience…. The Ducati is hard. The day after riding the Hypermotard, i have backpain. I don’t have this on the Yamaha. Admittedly i have a small back/hip issue. Just saying…. The clutch on the 2020 Hypermotard is worse then on the Yam. I’m sometimes somewhere in the middle of two gears…. The Hypermotard 2021 has a revised clutch so probably much of these issues have been solved. Two other things…. The Ducati does not have a fuel indicator. And no cruise control. The first one i don’t get…. The second one…. Well, i kinda understand the concept…. But most people travel 100 km first before starting their playfull journey…. And a cruise control is superhandy on the highway to unstress your right hand after a 400 km twist and turn…. After all, Ducati added self dimming indicators…. Why not a cruise control…? It’s expensive enough…

1100 Hyper, 50k km on the clock, love it!

More comparison.... Plz😇

How does the 950 compare to the old 1100?

I love both but the hypermotard can happen after i buy my house. Ordered a mt09 a few weeks ago. Both are awesome

Anyway we could see Chris compare the 2016-2018 Hypermotard 939 SP vs the new 950 SP?

Muy interesante me gustó su video gracias amigos

Awesome riding on the Ducati! balls of steel.

I luv my Yamaha 2117 FZ-09,runs great.

Both these bikes are crazy awesome

I'm 5'8 - too short for the Motard. Motard looks like it has more raw, gritty power delivery. Does the Yamaha cater better for shorter riders?

Can you also check Suzuki GSX-S950. It has insane torque

It’s funny how torn I am between the 2022 mt 09 sp vs a 2019 Ducati hypermotard base I did find a guy that was selling his hypermotard tune decay exhaust the works with 325 miles for 13k though so tough thoughts

Would the 890 Duke or Duke R also be in this group? Where would that sit in comparison to these two, if MT09 is more road focused and hypermotard more single track lanes etc?

My best bike ever Ducati Hypermotard Rve. Just fun everyday. No regrets 🏍🏍🏍🥳😂

you really smile a lot while talking about the Ducati...

Better comparison would have been the new monster 937 vs the MT09 SP

The crash in the intro was the most graceful I've ever seen 👍🏼

The only other big Supermoto was the Aprilia Dorsoduro 900. Sadly just discontinued due to Aprilia not bothering to make it Euro5. I was in the market for a Hyper but ended up the Aprilia instead. Every bit as good in the real World as the Hyper after losing that bloody great stock exhaust. Unfortunately if you buy on published specs (hint: they are a lie) you would go for the Ducati every time. I still desire a 950 SP but the jump up in price means I could probably put a late low mileage MT-09 in the garage, keeping the Dorsoduro and change. Choices, choices....

About to pull the trigger on the RVE and so I’m biased - to me there’s no question!! Brother Had an R1 and loved it but yams plastic in comparison !

I’m getting the 2022 MT09 SP I hope It has better colour and and looks better slightly 😂 I really can’t wait it’s going to be my fist big bike after ride a 125cc scooter since summer 2017 on L plates

The hyper is so much fun to ride.

So what kind of pup is that?

What about the duke?

Dog said MT-09 good enough for me... where's my cheque book!

Amazing 🔥💓 yes Yamaha

The Ducati will likely be more costly to own and in the U.S. depending on where you live, it probably be harder to get parts that will be a big consideration for most sensible consumers outside the UK

I would love to own a Ducati, but Japanese motorcycles are just so damn good....

Are those bikes classified the same category? If not, why compare them?

Why not compare mt09sp with monster+, this naked vs supermoto that cost 5k more for a base model doesn’t seem like something that someone thinking of either would consider the other no?

i drool, i stil have my fz-09 2015 lol.

Ure riding is incredible

Outta these two Mt09sp all day

Should you be comparing SP to SP? Either way, the Duke 890R is the ultimate hooligan bike.

When does Chris get his own youtube channel dammit!

I’d choose the Hypermotard 950 SP over the RVE

Hyper, no doubt!!

I'd take the one that has no electronic "aids", has a hydraulic clutch ,wire throttle and NO secondary butterflies. I'll pick that one ty very much. :)

Toss in the new FTR model!

Give that guy a raise Please.

That dog knows what’s up

As a kid your heart want a ducati but when you realise you are matured, 'yamaha for life'. freakn brilliant motorcycle brand...

As much as I like the mt 09 engine I'll have to go with the Ducati it's just so hooliganish.

best complitition

Preferences I guess but for me it’s the KTM Supeduke 1290R and the DUCATI Hypermotard SP ALL THE WAY.

You just 2nd my choice. Ducati all the way. Everything you said about is what im looking for in a bike.

Safety dog Beauceron :D Sorbon, GET THEM :D

And, now that there is the Ducati Hyper 698 mono!?? I wonder! MT09 or 698? I know, a bit of a different league, but that is where I'm at.

About the best reviewer on KZfaq. The bikes: I wouldn't have either of them.

I wish I had half your riding skills, after watching you throw these bikes around I think my poor Multistrada must be very frustrated and bored.
