A Big Mistake!!

[Tardman]

I just sold my mint 1100s with 2-1 termis, cams, race seat + other bits for cash. Thinking about it a few days later I regret the decision. The price wasn't fantastic and I still haven't found a replacement.

I thought I would move to the dark side and try a Jap bike. I've tested 600's, Blade, Gixer, fazer and Z750 etc but not impressed. Yes...they are capable bikes but the power isn't always useable and the torque delivery is not a patch on the Hyper.

Tried the Aprilia Dorsoduro with 3 switchable map settings but its gutless compared to the Hyper. Like the RSV4 but silly money
I may now move back to a Hyper

Moral = test before you sell !!!!!

try a ktm 950SM - lovely bit of kit

I'm sure your not the first and won't be the last, good luck with the search

I'm glad I bought the Hyper, it just a great back road bike. it also helps me ride the 1098 better & smoother can't see me selling it for along time at least.. In many ways its more fun & user friendly than the StreetFighter.. Just my opinion though..

Tardman Why?

There was lots of talk of redundancies for me and the wife so thought I better do something although we have both now escaped redundancy hence I want to get another bike.

I wish I was that lucky ;(. You want mine? If all goes as it goes I will be selling in June.

my bikes in for service so i've had an 1100S Multistrada for the weekend, try it, you might be as surprised as me at how good it is. Not as pretty as the hyper tho!!

Tardman =Terdman,naughty boy,see there is hope because you've realised the error of your ways,very quickly.
You can be forgiven get yourself down to the nearest Ducati dealer and get a brochure,then leave it on the coffee table in plain view of your missus.Tell her you want to spend 13+ big ones on a new bike.She'll happily settle for 5-6 on a used one

I understand where you're coming from. I had a few moments where I thought I'd sell my Hyper. In some ways it's a difficult bike to understand and gel with but when you do, as I have now, it's just an amazing bit of kit and definitely helps me ride my 1098S better.

It would take a lot for me to sell her now. Nothing comes close to the grin factor she provides.

I think motorapido might have one new 08 s left

[singletrack]

Tardman. I did the same. I sold my 07 Hypermotard 1100S last year and immediately regretted it.
I ended up buying another one and that is going nowhere.

I am tempted to test a new KTM 950SMT though - just to see if it is as much fun as they say it is. But at £10000 they are no cheaperthan the Hyper, and not a pretty.

Now that is very strange Anne coz when you sold yours I didn't regret it one little bit in fact I think it was the bestest ever decision you have made

TM Why oh why oh why, now get yourself down that dealers straight away and sort out a new one post haste and then get yourself up these parts again for a blast around the twisties.

+1 on the ugly comment. How much is the R version? I've a friend in Basel with the straight Adventure and he swears by it.
