Our apologies about the white balance changing throughout the video. Settings were off on the camera.

I’m a Communist California resident, and I’ve been in a lot of motorcycle shops. Recently I was in Texas and it wouldn’t been complete without walking into a motorcycle shop. You guys by far were the most friendliest, most knowledged group of guys I have ever met. Better than any experience I have ever had an any shop in the communist State of California.

I have both.. both great bikes.. had both on the track.. everytime i go the garage inwant to jump on the 698 - says it all

[bbouchan]

I've never ridden a bike that handles like the 698 & I had the 701 Husky just FUN as soon as you ride....Ordered the SC Project cans for mine.

[mikeskee]

You're showroom is like a museum. I love visiting there. I have a monster love it

[BrewsAndBraaps]

You guys also added the supercorsas :) I have mine set up the same way. Just had mine out this weekend and streets of willow and 100% agree with you how fun the bike is on track. Also with the quickshifter and full Termi, the sounds the bike makes are just ridiculous 😂 This might be my favorite Ducati I have and I have a V4R, SF SP2 and Pikes Peak V4…

[chrisrobinson]

Great video very informative. That bike is slick. I just ordered one. Greetings from the Uk 😎

[waidx]

I can't believe you came down to MSRH and did not let me That track is only 35 minutes from me so I could have come to "cheer you on" or "help pick up the pieces" LOL

[tylerdurden]

The 950 sp is gonna be remebered as a goates bike 😊😊

[niptalkshow]

Great video! A 698 might have to be my next bike. Bet it’s a blast to ride.

[sigberetta]

How would you compare this mono to the 690 SMCR?

[sebakrarup]

I fell the same way, for me it is not an Hypermotard! A Supermoto for my taste!

Is it possible to put a top case on the back of a 698?

[durango]

And just like that - Marty shows me the bike that convinces me that bad back and all - I need another Ducati - Thanks Some light "trail" tires and I think she'd be fine on Colorado fire roads - and killer on pavement up there

[theperipateticgumshoe]

950 will power wheelie in 1st with the slightest crack of the throttle. Is the 698 the same way?

[tomtraynor]

Had a similar category KTM SMC 690R and traded it for a Hypermotard SP 950R. No regrets. These singles are super fun but I would put them in a category of "Novelty bikes". They are more vibey. They are more uncomfortable. They seem best for local/short spurts and sprints. The Hyper 950R CAN cover more ground--literally and serve as a better all-round bike. To me these are second bikes--but then I do have a second bike: Pikes Peak for wife and travel. Just my opinion but I have owned and used both types for 5000++ miles.

Hello AMS, local DFW and inspiring new rider here. Do you think this would be a good starter bike ? Taking msf course next month and shop soon afterwards.

[xeeded]

The faceplate electrical tape. Cute. 🙂

[graydemunter]

There is no place for a duo on the 698 ?
