Sold the hyper! onto the next... - Ducati.ms

Put it up earlier this week to test the waters.. its gone not 5 days later... so quick and painless...

I've been lusting over streetfighters the last few months which led to me putting the hyper up for sale. Couldn't justify keeping both. I finally had a chance to sit on one at the dealer the other day. Didn't find it too uncomfortable but maybe it's just my head telling me it's not uncomfortable because I think they look so good!

Anyone own both bikes? Do you miss your hyper dearly? Did I make the biggest mistake of my life?

Sleep tight man! My little brother owns a SF and I find it way more comfortable than my Hyper. I've got two herniated disks in my hump, wich makes the upright position on the Hyper very painful after about 100 miles. The riding position on the SF spreads your weight more evenly between feet, butt and hands. Plus you'll love every single one of the 150 ponies.

Both are good. I like the SF best. You can indulge more on a hyper, but that's not to say the SF does not satisfy, you are just more likely to go thru the gears on the hyper than you are with the SF without worrying about your license. I use the hyper as my commuter mostly. I've done longer days on the SF with no issues.

My Hyper eats Street fighters for lunch, so far I have not seen one on the track that the Hyper wasn't able to smoke.......how's that for fighting words?

SF is super comfy, stock seat racks the balls a bit but not as bad as the stock monster seat. My only comment is that the SF is such an animal, I'd want both the hyper and SF soo when I wanted just to chill out or commute, I'd hop on the hyper.

I have `10 EVO SP and have put ~200 miles on a Streetfighter. I find with my titanium reinforced back the Hyper to be more comfortable. Saying that if the finances would allow it I'd get a Streetfighter in a heartbeat.

Enjoy what you have and don't worry.

I own a hyper but I have been riding the sfs for the last week becausebthe hyper is at the shop and I have nice friends

, I have been lusting for one, it is an animal but not a daily driver in my opinion, if I could have both I would but for now the hyper wins over all.....

Get a Superduke R. ready to race.
No mods needed, real suspension, you can change fueling for free with tune ecu, and half the price for twice the bike
