7:04 “You’ve been such an _incremental_ part” quite a bizarre choice of a word there man.

Don’t know if you know, but there are only 100 RVE’s. If yours does not come with a number badge, you can request it through Ducati. I also have a RVE, mine is number 011/100.

Hypermotards are a pretty serious machines mate, careful with that right hand, especially in sport mode.

That smile , i remember that feeling when I got my 1st big bike , and every ride felt like a dream. Stay safe but also enjoy every second of it , its an amazing feeling and an amazing time in ones motorcycle career!

Paul is one of the few KZfaqr’s who do not read the comment section at all lol.

Unusual choice but definitely loads of character and lots of smiles. The electronics will keep you in check till you’re comfortable with the front wheel off the ground.. 😂

That’s a bit of an unexpected choice if i’m honest. Not a bad one though. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve got coming up with it.

Next video: the reason why I sold my Ducati

Welcome Paul, can tell your naturally loving it respect coming from cars and hearing us out

As I said in the previous vid, people with no clue about bikes will always veer towards a Ducati. Case proven

When you wrapping it and selling it?

Looking forward to see more. Good choice man. Love seeing car people discovering that there is a whole new world of fun to be had on 2 wheels. If you like cars and you're not into bikes i bet your ass you would fall in love if you gave it a try.

Love the choice! I think people forget these have only 74hp in low power mode with a soft throttle setting. They can be a beast in full sport mode but quite easily manageable in urban.

I’m so happy you got a bike bc with your audience you will get a lot of new riders into the mix

I remember I picked up my first bike in November. On the day there was terrential rain and absolutely flooded roads. TRUST ME, learning to ride in those conditions all throughout November to probably February, was the best thing I could have asked for! If you can ride well in the wet, you can ride 10x better when it's dry.

I was worried you went for the Diavel... This is a fantastic choice mate, love it. Please take it easy. Drove for over a decade with no accidents and once I got on a bike I couldn't get through a year without breaking something in 3 years of riding ... Ride slow and safe mate.

Good job on the tires. Also good on you for having it sit out in the rain despite it being brand new.

why is the front tire mounted backwards?

Amazing bike and very happy for you that you didn't get a super bike first! Great all round bike, definitely worth getting Remus pipes and tail tidy. Great tyres for all year performance is enough and no need to tune as you are new to the scene... stay safe riding and remember your riding abilities, it is easy to get over excited with these machines! Gear up, get ready to come off buddy. Looking forward to following your two wheel journey...

Ducatis are my favourite bikes, well chosen!

at normal street speeds, 0-120kph, this is the most fun bike money can buy. comfortable, nimble, attractive and gobs of power. excellent choice.

I've got Road 5's on my VFR1200F and had them on my Tiger 1200 before as well, great tyre, the steep angle makes heavier bikes turn in a lot easier which is great. Not sure you need sharper handling on the Hypermotard though 👀

How tall are you and what inseam?

Good choice and it's only as fast as your right hand wants it to be, ride safe.

Congrats Paul on your new bike you’re going to love it,. Us two wheelers are all looking forward to the spring 👍

Great choice, nice and grunty, nice seating position and very accessible. Only downside is Ducati like to change a lot for maintenance but that’s why you do it yourself!! Enjoy it mate, we just need some better weather to get that knee down.

Nice. I bought a Ducati last summer, and have been pleasantly surprised at the quality, and sheer fun factor.

The make of tyres are very important on your cars as you know but on a bike they are extremely important and something you will learn is to read the road surface ( ie dry, wet , oil spills etc) which becomes a far bigger factor when you only have two wheels instead of four. Take your time and lm sure you will love it - your bike is very trick 👍👍

What a first bike! Didn't expect you to go for something like this but it looks amazing! Congratulations!

Great bike! I’ve had a few bikes now but currently have the Hypermotard 950 with Sports Pack. Brings a smile daily. Best optional extra I found for it was the Ducati Heated Grips, which allows all year riding in summer gloves! You won’t regret getting them, in fact you’ll regret ever riding without them!

Love From Nepal❤️ And Merry Christmas to everyone ❤️🎄

nice, hope to see it decked out in ducabike accesories

Sometimes I feel like you want us to forget you already had a motorcycle and did a whole thing with another company before. 🤔😂 I liked the CCMs Fogarty had, you should have gotten one of those.

literally..my dreams right there!! sick choice🔥🔥

Damnn! Congrats on the wheelie machine 🔥

Great bike 👍, but a bit of a strange first bike choice after the advice given by the experts he visited in the last few episodes..... Maybe you’ll prove them wrong.

Good choice mate you will have great fun on that for sure. Just take it easy and always assume the worst of drivers around you! Ride safe

Do you still have your hypermotard

Think you should do more bike content... Cool choice of bike... Stay safe🎄😎

Just wait till the exhaust is on

I love that bike! Enjoy and drive safe!

It just had to be a Ducati....Will sit perfectly in your garage....loved the vid and can't wait to see more 2-wheeled adventures. Merry Christmas Paul 🎅

Excellent choice Paul! I had one of them and when they first came out and it was an amazing riding bike. So much fun!!! Enjoy it!

Any bike is a great choice, I took my test when I was 46 and been riding 3 years now and still class myself as a learner and will do for a lot longer yet, have fun be safe.

Merry Christmas and ride safe

Here in the United States, when I was a kid, TV channel ABC had a show called ABC Wide World of Sports. Came on each Sunday if I remember correctly. On WWS, they had an annual event called The SuperBikers. This event would gather the top racers from each motorcycling racing segment: flattrackers, motocross and road racers. They developed a track that was a combination (in various segments) of each of their native racing environments. Then the bikes they equipped them with were basically dirtbikes with street racing tires. They let these guys loose to determine who was the best of the best. It was SO EXCITING to watch each year! The HyperMotard is the perfect embodiment of this genre, and based on your various introductions, I can see why you settled on the HyperMotard as your chosen steed. Enjoy!

congratulations lad.

Love these. Not seen this new one. Good choice! Can't beat a supermoto style bike. Sooo much fun!! 👊✊

Great video dude just watched the video with Carl fogerty happy new year to u

Was so weird, I literally said it before you showed it 😂, good bike man

Good choice of bike, will be great fun in the twisties, take it easy in this weather.

Congrats Paul!

Nice one, more bike vids!

Nice allround bike, wish you many fun rides and miles!

I've followed your channel for some time but, at last, you've been tempted to the biking side of life! It's not great this time of year but wait until that big, yellow thing appears in the sky again and it transforms. Looks like Michelin is able to hook you up with some experienced mentors and I hope you really enjoy your motorcycling. Paul. 😎

Congratulations, Ride safe

I'm unashamedly biased to all things Italian when in comes to motorbikes, have ridden many Ducati's including the Hypermotard great fun. Big 44th and Baron fan, great video cheers merry Christmas.

Happy New bike. Looks great

Great bike Paul , many happy and safe miles 👍🏍

Never thought of you as a hypermotard guy but fair play! Enjoy the new toy, you’re going to have an awesome time!

Nice bike (and bike format) - really not a beginner's bike (engine size - 1L is a serious engine, luckily the V-twin is more about torque than power) - make use of those driver aids until you're skilled up, and like he said you could stay on that bike for your whole riding career and be happy. Another tip with new tyres is a scotchbrite pad with soapy water and give the tread a good going over (rinse really really well). The mold release can be super slippery when you're leaned over. Front and back track stands (as a minimum) makes washing and maintaining the bike much easier. Chain oiler is another thing I'd never do without. Well lubed chain is a noticeably smoother ride.

Nice bike !! You should change the exhaust for termignoni

My dream bike! Congratulations on this beautiful bike! Be safe and have fun!

You need to shorten the licence plate bracket to sit under the exhaust can and just above the the rear mud gard

Congrats on the new bike. Not my kind of bike though. I have the new Monster 937 plus coming in July so looking forward to that.

Fantastic choice! The hyper is one hell of a machine!!

You don’t need to use the clutch to shift on any bike but the quickshifter lets you shift without closing the throttle

Excellent all rounder bike. If it doesn't have heated grips get them fitted because no matter what the weather your hands warm makes it a lot more enjoyable 😉

Nice happy riding m8 👍

Should’ve been a Honda MSX🤣🤣. No but seriously huge congratulations absolutely epic bike hope everyone’s had a great Christmas and I wish everyone a happy new year

I'm about to chop a gsr750 in for a hypermotard, thought it would of been a monster, supermoto is different riding, can't wait to get mine in January here 👀

You can’t go wrong. Nicely done.

Sick bike Bit of a brutal bike for your first. Don't fit into to much trouble. I was always told to start on a 250 and I did best advice I could have gotten. To learn Bike control on a smaller and lighter bike is so important. Power can come later. It's like getting a super car for your first car.

Need more of those bike vids

awesome bike congrats man !!!

What happened to the CBR650R and the tie up with Honda?

Thought you would get a monster. Congrats either way

Fantastic choice. Very jealous. Congratulations

the first smart purchase I see on your channel. finally

Good Luck With that one !!!!!!!!

Almost bought this as my second bike a few years ago. Wasn’t for me, but they look and sound cool AF😬 Surprisingly, I find the Streetfighter V4S easier to ride than the Hypermotard. Something about the geometry of the Hypermotard that didn’t work for me.

Apart from the audio the video was crisp

Well done mate, great bike. 👍😎

Really liking the fact you’re going your own way with bikes, rather than chasing cliches. Not that there’s anything wrong with supersports.

Foggy gave you some very wise advice and you didn't listen. I cannot believe you've gone and bought a brand new bike. Personally I expected you to run one that's a couple of years old to get a few miles under your belt first. It does look good though.

damn not what I expected tbf nice choice

Great Choice Paul it definitely came across with the other videos you didn't really get the Honda as your sort of bike and that came across I just thought perhaps you were more of a car guy but I think in the last few videos its shown you are just a petrol head through and through and I think this is the perfect bike for you. High centre of Gravity so you can see above hedgerows giving you great confidence, beautiful brand and the rider modes to lift your confidence with the character to be naughty if you want to. Enjoy the ride and your future two wheel journey in life.

Had the previous 939 SP model and it's an awesome bike for the road! 👌🏻 great choice to be fair. Get some Termi exhausts on it just for pure V-twin thunder!

Hello Ducatista! Love from Thailand

Great choice mate, proper street hooligan 👌🏻

Great bike, well done

I'm so jealous right now, nice choice 😎

All Hypers are killer motorcycles. HOWEVER, many agree that the BEST version so far was the first one; 1,100 cc air-cooled Desmo. Way more fun than the newer one.

Good for you, bro. Welcome to the squid life.

I bought one of these. Great choice. I would recommend keeping the engine power down for a while. Its set medium for the run in period. On high this is no begginer bike believe me! Handles very well though especially on our crap roads. Definitely one for the twisties.

Just hope to fuck it doesn’t break down at the end of July and you need parts from the factory cos Italy goes on holiday for the whole of August 😂

This is just an amazing bike, love it!

Looks like Bahnstormers work shop? Do those guys not get a mention or thanks?

I did not expect that. I guess as long as you enjoy it and you feel good on it. Bavk in the day 950 or so called litre bikes used to be stupid heavy and now they are as light as a 500cc so I guess shouldn't be too bad to handle. Bit balsy for a first bike but I bet you got a good deal on it so don't blame you. Enjoy two wheels and now you just need to get used to it, ride it some more and get on a track day on a panigale and ull not look back.

Bro it seems that you put the front tyre on backwards, judging by the tread pattern
