    2008 Hypermotard

    Picked this up the other day. 2008, full Termi, race ECU, dyno tuned by BMS, DP seat, brand new 2CT's, 2200mi. This bike looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Cleanest preowned bike I've ever come across. Only got a chance to ride it for about 10 min, but all I can say is WOW!! This bike is badass! Hands down the funnest street bike I have ever ridden. I had been looking at them for a while and alot of people said they were pigs and pretty slow. I'd have to disagree. I was impressed with how quick it is. And the sound...amazing! I've always been partial to supermotos, and with this bike you get the best of both worlds. I've been going through bikes like underwear over the last few years, but I think I found a keeper!!

    Love it, great choice. That is how I feel about my Triple, it doesn't matter to me that it isn't the fastest bike on the street. The fun factor is off the charts and that's what keeps me smiling. Enjoy.

    Hey Matty, is the speedo on your Hyper accurate? I was doing 85 on the interstate today and still getting passed by more than one car. My bike has stock gearing.

    Sharp looking bike. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks - if you likes that's what matters. :-)

    84hp @ 7800 rpm
    67 ft/lbs @ 4800 rpm

    full termi, DP ecu, DP air filter

    Pretty good considering I seen another dyno sheet of a guy in California at sea level with the same mods plus race cams; his put down 89hp

    Yes you do, but only if you are absolutely ready to re-evaluate getting rid of the 675. Otherwise, don't even go look at one

    I loved the 675 at the track, but for around town, my wrists, knees, and ass were very uncomfortable after only about 30mi. Went on a 70mi ride yesterday on the Hyper and I still felt like brand new afterwards.

    Way More Funner to..yes Titus I said it

    I'm from Pueblo. Picked up in Lakewood. This guy had a pristine 999S sitting right next to it with all the mods. Only 2400mi on it and he was the second owner!! He said the previous owner only bought it so that he could be at the top of the list for a Desmosedici. I guess when they came out, Ducati would only sell you one if you already owned a 999S. Don't know if that is true, but not hard to believe...

    Go pick up a Sergant seat and the only thing holding you back from long rides is the 2 gallon something gas tank...

    84hp isn't really all that bad, especially considering it doesn't weight all that much. Nice bike! Unique styling but not in a bad way.

    does yours do those 3rd gear roll on wheelies that i read about? mine doesn't, not even close. i read about guys having a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground thru the first 3 gears. i have yet to experience this. i'm sure i can do 3rd maybe 4th gear standups with a little bounce (not that i want to, those days are over) but definitly not off throttle alone.

    btw, just got done installing my new woodcraft rearsets. the new riding position feels great!

    Yeah for elevation robbing power!!! Drop a tooth to a 14 up front and you'll have more fun. That, and a shorter throttle pull. To go WOT you have to regrip. Do a search on the R6 throttle mod.

    Ya rearsets would be nice. The bottom of my pegs are scrapped to shit. The one flaw of the 1st gen Hypers. The 2nd gen they moved the rearsets up and back and increased the clearance by an inch.
