Hey Everyone! May's Bike of the Month challenge is now open for entries!
Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP 2011 - "Dirty Duchess"
10
Hello everyone,
after six and a half years of owning a 999S (full story here) I wanted a change and did not mind a more relaxed riding position either. I've liked the original Hypermotard since day one but never really looked into buying one. Now was the perfect time to get one and obviously it had to be the EVO SP to get the lighter engine, the all black Marzocchi forks etc. Unfortunately they proved to be hard to find in Europe - here in Finland there is currently only one registered
I browsed the German, Dutch, Italian and French marketplaces for a while without any real success, the ones I found were either overpriced or had too many miles for my liking.
Eventually a dude on Facebook told me there was one for sale in Belgium. 9800km, 2011, white, 99% original condition (just the Termignoni 2-1 system installed). Luckily the seller spoke perfect English (he works at a Ducati dealer) and was even willing to pack the bike on a pallet for shipping. Long story short, the bike finally arrived in snowy Finland on the 22nd of January. Now the bike has been inspected for registration and I'm waiting for it to be taxed to get a license plate.

Otherwise in pretty much mint condition but the alternator casing has some rock chips which have started corroding due to the cover being magnesium:

I have already purchased a NOS OEM alternator casing and will order the small parts (crank end bearing, shift shaft seal etc.) for it soon. I'll also have it coated with a matte clear coat to protect it from corrosion a bit better.

To match the alternator casing I bought a NOS DP magnesium vented clutch casing with titanium fasteners. I won't be using the included Ti screws though since they are poor quality (ugly manufacturing marks inside heads). Even though the stock clutch casing is the same color as the alternator side it's actually not magnesium so this will provide a small weight saving as well

To go with the alternator casing I have a stainless steel case saver and a DP 28mm billet slave. I'm hoping to use the clutch off my 999S, it's a 999F05 Corse four post slipper with Surflex aluminium plates and a carbon RS cover. More on this later...

Some other parts have also arrived - CNC Racing billet triples, CNC Racing billet cam covers, some MaxiCarbon bits, Brembo billet rear caliper (billet front calipers are off the 999S):

Please excuse all the dust in the pics, it's the late winter sun...

A bit of an update.
Finished wiring up and mounting the keyless RFID ignition kit. Tested working as well. Made a carbon bracket to hold the black box on the original tool kit brackets on the frame. Modified a spare RH switch block to work with the kit as well. I think I won't add any kind of blanking plate on the ignition switch location just to show off the carbon airbox 😎

The next small project was to hook up my garage door remote on the bike. I had a similar setup on the 999 already, but the old style switch block was big enough to hide the remote PCB as well, but the new model is too cramped so I drew and 3D printed a small case to hold the chopped up PCB and a 12V to 3V DV converter. I'll hook up the converter on the original license plate light connector which is currently not in use. Waiting for some connectors to arrive to finish it off. The button clamp will replace the OEM brake master clamp, made in laser sintered nylon.

Hellooo. Some small updates again.
Podium Racing titanium rear axle nuts + safety clips + side stand pivot pin + nut + sensor bolt waiting for installation.
![]()
SSR billet side stand with a 3D printed extension foot also waiting for installation. The stand was too short for an SP so I printed a 12mm pad. Will test next weekend if that's enough.

The stand + hardware is ~410g vs. OEM 670g.
Added some proper connectors for the rear indicators, the Aviacompositi setup originally has just some pins crimped on the wires, no housing.

Bought some new levers which were supposed to be ~20mm shorter than OEM. Obviously they turned out to be 20mm longer than OEM. Had to remove the dowel pins on the bars to move the masters in a bit and printed some 4mm spacers (not in pic) on the handguards for extra clearance near the adjuster part. They fit fine now.

Found a DP alloy rear sprocket in Germany, same spec as the Supersprox one I currently have but ~300g lighter.
![]()
Front end is pretty much done now with the new .484 calipers etc. The CNC Racing alternator check cover thingy got some black Ti bolts last weekend instead of the natural ones in the pic.

Also got a new Arai lid with a dark visor. The old one is 7yo already so time for retirement.

mine are pretty ugly 😳:

The 12mm pad seemed OK but decided to make a 15mm as well with a 33% larger footprint. Got the new stand mounted with the Ti hardware and carbon spring clip. The pic is shite as per usual:

Replacing the rear sprocket turned out to be a bit more work than I anticipated since the hub eccentric does not allow enough adjustment to make the chain slack enough to be wrapped off the sprocket Had to remove the wheel and axle as well. Got the sprocket carrier removed and cush drives pressed out of the Supersprox. Ran out of time last weekend so will continue with some cleaning and assembly next weekend...
Sent an inquiry for some Ti headers this morning. A bit late to the party since spring is right around the corner but hey ho, such is life

Designed and 3D printed a new rear brake "reservoir" holder. Not sure yet if I like it or not.

Tracked down some NOS Ducati Performance magnesium valve covers. For some reason the seller had four blank covers (instead of three) and the one with oil cooler and temp sensor mounting provisions. Since the EVO has a bigger oil cooler the kit is not plug and play, I'm planning on designing a custom holder for the oil cooler.

We recently got another 10cm of snow so no riding season yet...

Hello. It's been a while since the lastest update.
I started the season May 21st and mounted some cheapo bar end mirrors before that to test them, since the OEM mirrors don't really seem to stay in position no matter how well you try to torque the plastic ring. Had to 3D print some adapters and use 70mm long M6 screws for mounting them with the handguards. They seemed to fit and work pretty well.

Also tested some original DP heel guards which look like elf ears. I think I'm going back to the Maxi Carbon ones.

On the 26th of May disaster struck. I was heading home after a short-ish ride around the neighboring towns, approaching a familiar roundabout behind a BMW when suddenly the Beemer hit the brakes (apparently there was a cyclist coming on the crosswalk - never saw him approaching)... I was still leaned over a bit, grabbed the front brakes a bit too much and lowsided in a millisecond. 😭 There was barely 20km/h of speed at the time but obviously a lowside is never a good thing. I got up in another millisecond, picked up and walked the bike on the side of the road since cars were starting to line up behind me. The driver of the BMW stopped to ask how I was, all I really cared about was the bike...
The damage obviously looked bad at first but in reality it's nothing major. Shift pedal + left handguard + mirror are broken, left handguard bracket + footpeg slider + side stand + fairing are scratched. The billet bar clamp was also bent and the rearset bracket has a dent from the peg pivoting up.

I'm mostly sad about the fairing, it will be fixed and partially repainted as soon as possible. All other parts have already been ordered and I will be putting the OEM mirrors back on.
Thankfully the forks, tail, seat, swingarm and exhaust did not get a single scratch. My insurance has already paid for the damage (plus some). Riding gear is a bit scratched up too but I guess that just adds to my street cred Helmet only got a tiny nick on the paint so I put some small Corse decals on both sides. My shoulder, hip and knee were a bit sore a few days, hip was pretty bruised after a week but getting better now.
I'm hoping to get the bike back to its former glory by the end of the month, and will also be adding a couple of new bits... Lesson learned: keep even more distance to cars.
