Found the perfect bloke for bike reviews, another Aussie giant that rides Sydney roads. Been eyeing off this bike for a couple weeks now ever since I sat on one Love the video and honesty with the short comings Keep it up my dude 🤙🤙🤙

Just bought one of these in Titanium. Amazing machine!

I have one of these too, S model, full Akro in Red. Love this bike so much! The noise! THE NOISE!!!

Just purchased a Supersport with full akra exhaust..haven't picked itvup yet but thank you..your review has made me confident I have got the right bike for me...😊

Loved the review. Nice to see a bit of common sense for a change. Totally agree with your views. Managed to get a 5 hour test ride, while my 1299 was serviced. The supersport makes much more sense on our crappy British roads. Pleased to say I've done the deal. Straight swap for my 1299 😁. Just got to wait a couple of weeks for delivery.

This video deserves more viewership. Great review of the bike. Really got an idea of what it would be like to own it. Not just, what it would be like to ride on track. Take my like and subscribe good sir, thanks!

Great review. Thanks. With the facelift having just come out, this may be my next new Ducati.

Thanks, you've just shown me a nice local circuit. think I'll include Delhi road as well. Great down to earth review.

It's so great to see other tall riders!

It’s a lovely looking bike. Aspirational.

I've already got a new bike recently (CBF 600 SA) but I'm always happy to discover a new review by you! Keep it going! Nice exhaust on this bike by the way!

Great review.I think the Akropovic system adds about 10hp taking to about 123hp and 20% more in the mid range...and some weight saving...and the sound OMG. But the price of the system is outrageous...I'm buying mine from the dealership with the Akropovic race system as a demo and then the pipe makes sense because you score on the price but I don't think I would add it otherwise. Negatives I've picked up. Getting it into neutral is a faff, the mirrors are crap and vibrate and there is heat on your thighs when you stop (but not too bad). But I don't care...the bike makes me smile more than any other I have ridden lately including 200hp superbikes.

nice review. i have two sportbikes (cbr1000rr & daytona with VIR nearby!) and a sports tourer (ninja1000 with saddlebags). don't ask why i cannot decide between the 950s and panigale bayless. if the ss had the more powerful engine, i would have no quandary... thanks for your opinion. apparently that torque provides plenty of giggle time thrust!

Great review. First time viewer having searched for reviews ahead of a supersport test ride I’ve booked with my local dealer here in the U.K. in a week. I’m currently on a monster 821 wanting to upgrade and have concerns that the supersport will be too similar in power and handling but your review has made me feel a little more excited about it. Subscribed! 😎

I wish someone would discuss this compared to the BMW F 800 GT. I suspect the F 800 GT is a little more tour, while the SS is a little more sport, but what are the similarities and differences in the experience?

Too bad the other brands do not offer a comfortable full fairing sport bike, this bike fills the bill and is one of the best handling bikes I have ever owned.

Great review, love the ergonomics peice.

I am propably i a bit late next ride through hunters hill hit loop road next to Galdesville Bridge and take the down hill cork screw, but could you imagine the sales on this bike if it had a TFT dash.

I wanna buy this machine

Great review, with some caveats. Did you notice that the fork tubes cannot be raised much because the clip-ons get in the way? That might impact setting up the bike to turn faster. Also, as an expert-level roadracer, I'd advise getting better gloves that fully cover your wrists. RS Taichi or GP-level. How much are your hands worth?

Great review... I LOVE MINE

Great review

I'm 6'7 240. I'm drooling over this bike. Why didn't you buy this over the MT09? Also... What's the best bike for you given your size?

awesome review mate

Have you had the chance to compare this to your MT-09 or F800 GT? I'm looking for a sports tourer that gets not bad mileage and is comfortable to ride. How would you compare this to your MT-09?

Why does it sound like a 4-stroke dirt bike engine?

Cool bike! Yes! And also cool music. That music in the intro and outro, what was that?

Nice review, I love mine best bike to ride for me

Hi mate! Great review! How do you feel: 1- the heat, 2 the usability, and, 3 the comfort; compared to the monster 797? I plan to buy one of these two bikes, for daily urban use, with traffic jam etc... thanks!!!

We’re about the same height but I’m 260.... but which supersport bike would you recommend??btw great review!!!

Would you choose the SS the mt 09 or the z900 money not an issue ? That vtwin sounds so good . Good review as always from america

Great video and review, definitely one of the better ones on KZfaq. I was wondering if the cable ties on the number plate are to keep the magpies away? How did the heat from the engine / exhaust compare with the panigale?

Is this more fun than the gsx s, Z900, mt-09? More nimble?

I love it.

That U-turn attempt would be an instant test failure.

Great review thank you. Love this Ducati. It looks good, sounds good and those pipes make the bike! The brakes on this (and most Ducati's these days) are brilliant. The Ohlins give a firm but supple ride on the S and it's so comfortable while looking like a proper Ducati. But like a lot of other folk in the target market I can't bring myself to buy it. Why? While the Multistrada and Panigale (even the Scrambler in a twisted way) are all class leading category defining bikes the Super Sport is just meh. It's middle of the road. In order to establish the price point of £12,000 Ducati have handicapped what could have been another category winner by not giving it enough horsepower. Bike buyers are a pretty simple to understand group. We like things that look good sound great and as you put it so perfectly have some bragging rights. Yeah yeah I know that 115bhp is plenty 99% of the time. And yeah yeah it is all about torque and having that easy roll on from 3000 rpm. But look at you you hoon. First bit of straight and you wanted to give it the beans. The rest of the comfortable bike market gets the idea of having a few extra ponies. 140 to as high as 170 bhp is easy to find and don't spare the cubes (KTM V twin I'm looking at you.) We don't mind bigger engines either. And by the way isn't Ducati's own Monster 1200 pumping out near 147 bhp and 91 lb-ft these days? And you said this had the frame of a Monster... If not a liquid cooled Monster engine (it will always be girls bike anyway ask any Italian.) then Ducati could consider giving us a detuned Panigale engine from a few years back. They used to be only about the same money as a Super Sport anyway. Until the buyers feel they are getting enough cubes and bhp the Super Sport will be an opportunity missed that they never even realised they had. Thanks again for a great review.

Hello there! let me ask you sth. Do you have it yet? If so, for how long? I"m considering getting one, but allm my friends and the reviews I've been watching tells I should not buy a Ducati because it"s not a reliable brand. I'd like to know your opinion since you have experience! Thanks!

Why don't u do a really steep hill test

Weneedasaga proper testride, im 6’7 like you thanks for sideview! Its between this and 2018 ninja 1000 (z1000sx) or gsx-s1000FZ(faired gsxs1000 phantom black) 2018. The gixxus seems like a real hoot, it now has 150hp and 110nm torque. Still looks like a bird though ;p

Demo bike with moto gp akro pipes. How much was it? Nice review and subscribed of course.

How is the wind buffeting on highway and how would you compare it to a multi strata for comfort? I am 6’3

How does the heat bro? Does it feel comfortable when drive in city

Street Triple RS is cheaper with more power and comfort. It also has Ohlins. Do you think you'll pick the Supersport (S) over the Striple?

Nice Audi mate 😉

Seat cooks balls. 😂

No joke I’m 500m from that dealer 😂😂.

Why do they call it a super sport when it clearly isn't

Thanks for ruining the little bit if appeaI i had for the supersport by comparing it to one of the ugliest non sporty bikes out there- Honda VFR. Smh

I think they really ruined the look of this with its whole identity crisis thing going on! The name is completely irrelevant too as it's nothing like the Supersport models of old. Gimme a Monster 821 any day!
