Idk if it’s me, but I feel like Ducati mainly competes with itself. Monster, Streetfighter, Panigale, Diavel. So many of them are closer to each other than they are to anything else offered in another brand.

I picked one up last month, loving it! I chose it over the SF v2 for the wind protection. You can also pull up on the windscreen and get another inch and half raise which has been nice on the highway. I was coming from a naked bike so one of the big things I wanted was more wind protection. Mirrors are the downside but I've found different areas of the throttle smooth it out if I need a clearer look. Felt way more comfortable for me as well.

Did you forget that the screen is adjustable?
Strange to complain about the screen being to low when you haven’t extended it to upper position.

I put 10k miles on my old SuperSport that I bought new back in 2017 when they came out. Other than a few faulty fuel level sensors (which is why modern Ducs do not have them) I didn't have any issues out of it. It was a fantastic daily rider and could rip mountain roads with ease thanks to all of that torque. Five hour highway rides were a treat. That thing loved to cruise at 105 all day long.

I traded it in last year for a Streetfighter V4 because, well, it's a Streetfighter V4. I don't regret owning the SuperSport for a second and miss it all the time.

The first time Chase reviewed this bike back in 2017 (and swayed me towards it), he gave it a five-helmet rating. He also said that if you were intermediate at best as a rider, that it'd be a great entry to Ducati. Both of these I completely agreed with at the time. It honestly is amazing how much of a useful bike it was for daily riding.

OC super sport all the way just because it fits the kind of bike I want. Supersport looks, all day comfort, and touring capable with a throttle lock.

[dailyguytalk]

How dare you said “it’s meant for old men”. I have the same bike, 2023 in red, love it, and I’m 43. However, you are correct though 😂

This engine is the goldilocks fully faired street bikes from Ducati imho. I have a V2 Panigale dedicated for the track. It’s great on the track, but a torture rack on the street. The Testastretta engine is so so proven… I have the new Monster SP too. It’s basically the naked version of this.

Picked 1 up in August, I love the bike. Definitely a head turner

[ARC_Trooper_Han]

I daily my 22 SS 950. I didn’t want the added suspension, because I wouldn’t track on that bike. It is fully capable and there are videos of pro riders doing it. It is incredibly comfortable and the heat isn’t that bad. I live in South West Florida and wear leathers. If I do a short trip to the gas station in shorts, the heat is uncomfortable. I use the auto shifter 90% of the time and it works correctly in that same percentage. If you’re going to downshift, you need to either maintain your speed or be slowing down. There are times when I upshift, I accidentally leave my foot on too long during the shift and it puts the bike in neutral. I have new boots and I’m still getting use to it. I haven’t had a problem when I was wearing basketball shoes with shifting. I bought a lowered seat, which I like a lot. My biggest complaint is the slow speed. The throttle has a gap for when I need to go 5 mph through a parking lot or to do tight turns. It tends to want to stall out regardless of how I manage the clutch. Neutral is a pain to find. I’m going to see if I hold the shifter in long enough will it go into neutral. It seemed to happened when my foot was engaged for too long, so that may be the trick. I know this may sound silly, but if you need to stop the side mirrors from shaking you can pull the clutch in momentarily 😅. There is a lot more vibration than I anticipated. I took a 400 mile trip and noticed it especially in the handle bars.

OC: Hands down I'd go for the Streetfighter V2. It is something that the Supersport S doesn't run as hot as a Panigale. But with the heat of a north Georgia summer you're not really gonna notice the difference much at all. As riding a Panigale in the summer is like riding an oven, and as Chase said in the WBR Garage shakedown of the CBR600 you shouldn't ride a oven. 🤣🤣

I own the 2021 SSS and love it. Yes it vibrates a lot. I have about 2K miles on mine and haven’t had any problems. I haven’t noticed the brake problems you have mentioned. Maybe it is that bike. My favorite thing about the bike is comfort. It is super comfortable and I have back problems. One problem with my bike is the quick shifter is not that great. Blipping from 4 to 3 is inconsistent. I stopped using it to downshift because more times than not it fights me. Upshifting has a bit problems hitting neutral. Just FYI the passenger pegs are on the S model the previous owner must’ve removed them. Overall great bike and awesome first ride of my bike. Thanks!

937 CC Testastretta L-twin engine: Supersport, Multistrada V2, Hypermotard, Monster plus, Monster SP and DesertX. Tells you how tried and trued this powerplant is for Ducati 😎

[johnhall]

A big Texas thank you for this review! Very thorough and candid. Ride safe!

[roscoss]

Bought one last year, everything you said is spot on. Old school Ducati vibe and love the electronics. Personally I enjoy the vibrations, I bought a Ducati because I was wanting to feel to old school thump of the Vtwin. This engine has heaps of character and I wasnt looking for another smooth boring inline 4. The pops and burbles of the engine on the over run still make me grin everytime.

[adriandobre]

:))) the guy's face when you started and rev the engine :))) @1:44

[andytashchyan]

The braking issue is definitely with your specific bike. It’s pretty sensitive, maybe you gotta get used to it. Mine is super smooth.

[andrewwhittenburg]

I picked up a 2018 sss earlier this year. I have had a ton of fun on it. Not sure how it compares to anything other than a harley though. 🤔

[rdmp]

I have a 2022 SS 950s as my first bike. Replaced mirrors first thing. Stock ones are useless. Great bike overall.

[ducatistadev]

I chose the white silk supersport and have loved it! Highly recommend it. Would’ve bought a v2 tho if the insurance wasn’t so insane.
