Hyper 1100 vs 1100s vs evo

Hi gents,

Still looking for my first hyper after originally finding an EVO SP and the deal falling through.

Anyway the EVO SP's are like rocking horse shit and as such I'm finding lots of 2008/09 1100 and 1100s

Has anybody had the chance to ride them back to back and also against the newer evo models (even non sp)

So more specifically, is the 1100s definitely much better than the non s in terms of handling etc due to the ohlins?

And how does the winner of that compare to the newer evo versions? I mean isn't an older 1100s going to be better than a newer standard evo non sp version or is that wrong?

I've only test ridden a standard EVO which was at the dealers so have no experience of the older 1100's or newer SP's so would be good to know what I'm aiming for.

Cheers gents

I wasn't really considering a non S if I'm honest but you know what it's like, Ducati update a model to an evo and then evo SP so im just trying to gauge what the older S is like.

I'll never really track the hyper I doubt, I have track bikes for that as that's what I prefer (well so far it is)

Again it's just that Evo sp's either didn't sell well or nobody wants to sell them 2nd hand as I can hardly find any.

There's some good looking 1100S's about as there are non S models but I guess ultimately I'd prefer to have the ohlins and lighter wheels.

No amount of Internet searching can give me a comparison between a new evo and old S unfortunately :)

But if there's hardly anything in it then I guess the older S is the way to go purely for the wheels etc
