Hypermotard 1100 v GSX-R600 v Speed Triple

[NickErdody3]

triumph is better looking

[Mrsingh9696]

If you want to get a sporty road bike, get a Ninja 650R

[MrAdzy81]

I bet the bikes werent the only thing they were playing with......

[CHINO8913]

ducati perfect

[stokesmiata]

Noobinacan if that's so why do they race them in a pro class?

[NoobInaCan]

A Man's triple

owns a

cool kid's motard

squid's gixxer



[attom22]

r u F kiding me!!!!

Street triple rocks!!!

[select899]

For UK roads, Hypermotard 1100 all the way. so much fun on the queens highways. gsxr 600 is just too much aimed @ track.

[TheCodingguru]

@select899 Not really



[select899]

@TheCodingguru Yes.

[TheCodingguru]

@select899 no.

[select899]

@TheCodingguru Yes.

[gianbrac]

Well im a supermotard rider! Also i had a lot's of bikes! The best supermotard is Honda ,fast good handling and unbreakble engine!! And light!!! Now i get hyper sp evo ! For the city and go out!! Great bike!

For all days in dowtown is good! Out is fantastic- ktm and others are too different! Not easy to drive no handling-and for the rest you have to try one! Hyper..

[Motherfuckeronerrrrr]

"it's a little bit different and a little bit fun".. if it's ony a little bit fun i probably won't bother then hahah

[sweeney1959]

What's with those stupid bar end mirrors? makes it as wide as the QE2! crap for filtering!

[Skambutisz]

"hypermotard is great for the first 20min but after that is geting tiret its to extreme"- you pussy. . .

[aaarsix]

does anyone know what the seat hight is on the hypermotard?

[BurroBurrito1]

@aaarsix im 5' 10" - 5' 11" and it fit me nicely.

[ZAKxOFxTHExDEAD]

POWER RANGER HAHAHAHA :D

[aluisious]

I'd like to give the Ducati a test, but Ducati dealers in my area don't do tests. Once a year they show up somewhere for demos but I don't know when that is and I'd like a bike now. Triumph, on the other hand, has the good sense to let their bikes sell themselves by test rides.

[PelicanGodOfJupiter]

That was the first time I had ever heard anyone describe Triumph as "run of the mill".

[TS50ER]

What's a power ranger?

[cihge]

Well this certainly helped my confusion.

Not to mention it was pretty much a two bike review - they just mentioned the GSX-R and moved on. Seriously? People call that a review nowadays?

[darkeyce02]

@cihge no one said it was a gsxr reveiw...or even a reveiw at all

[jarjarlol]

@cihge There are hundreds of sports bike reviews. Most people get the idea on them.

[DSjunkie]

I own a hyper myself, and I'm really sick of these nerdy comparisons with other bikes, it was made to be a crazy fun bike and that's what it delivers, fun for the first 20 minutes! go back to touching yourself, I never want to get of it and my wrists don't hurt. Cool dj thinks there unpractical.... THERE NOT MEANT TO BE! yet seems to do everything just fine.

[kocmoctube]

@DSjunkie Hey I am want to get myself a hyper, I am just over 6 feet tall, is it comfy for a tall person? I have monster now and sometimes it feels a bit small, thanks

[HeartFilledHatred]

@kocmoctube If you have a Monster now, well you'll have no prob!

[2005Sprint]

the duck sounds like shit

[jtattoo2]

speed triple every time had shit loads of fun on b roads, also done 350 miles in 1 day bar fuel stops ,with no gel seat ,cos unless you've got some weird shaped arse the normal write ups are unjustified & the 1 thing about triumph no matter were you stop you'll get talking to a random old bloke that used to have 1 & will recommend the best pub for a pint & a bite to eat ,must say again shiiiiit loads ooooo fun !!!!!!!!!!!!

[TwistKicker13]

this doesn't really help at all...sorry

[toymachine135]

arent you supposed to compare bikes that are similar?

[NoFukinNamesLeft]

I can't choose between hypermotard 796 and gsxr600

[sacredtantra]

reviews seems very unbalanced. At least inform viewers beforehand that you pick bikes before even riding them! Or just dont talk and let the bikes run while we judge.

[cooldj69]

i realy must admit that the Hypermotard series like Ducati Hypermotard 1100 or the Aprilia smv 750 dorsoduro... they are TOYS, theyr unpractical and theyr all about fun.

[Oceancruiser007]

Triumph is d best 4 everyday and comfortable ..... ducati not 4 every day ride but cool....r600 mmm just on d track, 2 hard

[ryde4ever]

How about the comparing the smaller Hypermotard and the Street Triple? They are both lighter and easier on gas. Cheaper insurance too. But still plenty of fun.

[KPKonliner]

@ryde4ever lol yea !

[Krusti600]

Ducati of course... no question...

[philthyco]

@Krusti600 nope

[krazyk1897]

you cant even compare a gixxer 600 ur puting up a 600cc bike to a 1100?!?!

[philthyco]

@krazyk1897 the gsxr600 will eat that 1100 allday everyday!

[ruinedinc]

how tall is mr. adam child, might i ask, MCN?

[pbmax]

Just buy a Harley

[powersliding]

ducati or triumph? maybe in the 60's but today, ducati all the time whether a fan or not

[DUCMAN45368]

Ducati

[benjyboba]

Get a hypermotard wiht an 1198 engine in it, problems sovled. Nah don't watch the vid, try each of them for yourselves then decide. I've not rode any of these bikes but I like bikes that handle, Handling allways betters power on the road as most bikes are fast enough. Comfort, well I got an 1198s and it says it all. I got another bike for town purposes.

[19slipstream84]

man i cringe everytime i see that pony tailed douchebag

[Chari6666]

LOL @Powerranger :P

[somaiah88]

that triumph is ugly!.....gsxr600, too common......hypermotard for me!!

[iceman333ify]

i like the ducati any day

[2299892]

stupid... just buy a fireblade..........

[julingy]

i liked when you guys incorperated one of your readers into a "whats my next step" type of video. you had a guy with his 2003gsxr750 that wanted something new, so you took him out and let him drive a couple of different options, then you guys and him did a bit of a review on pro's and con's of alternatives...

anyway i thought that was a better approach than this since your having the input of a person that actually is going to spend some cash on a bike in the near future

[Hirafuku]

YOu guys forgot the Honda Goldwing, the Gunbus and the new KTM 350 Enduro in your pointless comparison. lol

[13xBlackSun]

2 words - Super Duke

The end

[humanoutlaw]

lol dressed up like power ranger

[Storm1337]

Gogo Powerrangers!! daadededaa

[htse009]

Chris is finally using a better mic in the video review !!! I always felt like throwing him a cough lolly in the past lol ~ !!!

[matheo15000]

ducati 1100 vs speed triple vs gixxer 600??? (why would you compare a 600 with these two?)

112bhp gixxer 600= no power

95bhp  speed triple= looks like a bug

123bhp ducati= beautiful but expensive

133hbp gixxer 750= good looking, good price and waaaaayyyy beter

[philthyco]

@matheo15000 the 600 is still the fastest of the three

[evilbahumut]

@philthyco

I think you're missing the point. They're comparing which is more fun. going fast is great on the track, but pretty useless on the street. That's why they're looking at the Hyp and the S3 so hard. Street bikes vs Sport bikes.

[philthyco]

@evilbahumut your missing the point..im talking to krazt1897..he said the 600 has no chance with these big bikes..but he was wrong..

[CRBlKER]

hypermotard anytime

[Baldak09]

ducati mosnter?

[motegi45]

I'm for the Hypermotard!

[mocioclistu]

LSL superbike bars kit on the Suzuki. Everyday practical, sharp chassis, fun engine.

Cheapest too.

[n4v1ns]

i always hate that guy in the hat

[ionootz83]

for the money spent on the ducati i would buy an k5 750 and a 450 ktm enduro/supermotard and would rule the city/track/highway/twisties/hi­lls/forests

[kingofpita]

@ionootz83

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[daspascool]

no offence but.. what language do you speak? damn, it's hard to understand you guys, being a foreigner i'm not used to your accent

[Tvinky]

@daspascool English UK, I'm from Latvia and my English is not native language, but I understand them very well, also Australians and US guys. Dunno where is the problem.

[daspascool]

@Tvinky very well isn't perfect is it ;)

i think when they would talk closer to the microphone (and use a cover against wind noise AND lose the accent ;) i would be able to understand them better

btw cool item you've got on robots

[Hax8t1on]

@daspascool Its a British accent

[EliteWarfare]

the single sided swingarm doesnt really suit the hypermotard

[musiciskey777]

i'd take the triple anyday if i could only have one...but i'd still love to have the ducati

the triple is better looking imo, and the power ranger joke was funny 5 years ago, not anymore lol

[clevername333]

Try a KTM for an extreme city bike... brap brap snap crackle pop.

[bboybino]

i think the speed triple looks like unfinished

the "dressed like a powerranger" made my day :D

[darkrage1985]

dressed like a power ranger? oO?

[MarcS4R]

i have had the Hypermotard for a year and i ended selling it. it is fun on b roads but thats about it. being quite tall the total lack of wind protection was a thing that really bummed me out. there were some other points on top of that that made me sell it, but from those three bikes i would have taken the triple as well.

[S01NOR]

the speed triple looks way better than te ducati!

[adoniscomplex]

They didnt jump the Ducati. It looks like a heavy dirt bike. Look at all that suspension travel. Should have found some ramps or something to get it into the air. :)

[zbateni]

@ motorcyclenewsdotcom for a Newbie thats in love with the Yamaha R1 (2008) love the engine 180bhp now i can get it for roughly 10,000euro but for a city and work and pleasure would you recommend the Yamaha R6 or a Suzuki GSXR600 or the 2008Yamaha R1. Can you give me an advice. I live in the Netherlands .

Luvv ur reviews.

[sumitkid123]

I thought that Ducati is ment for both on road and off road. If that is so, why didn't they mention that about the Ducati.

[FirEiLiE]

@sumitkid123

nah mate its not designed for off roading at all, its a supermoto , looks are all it has in common with a motocross bike

there are better supermotos for less then the duke, and a deaf man would tell you that old hat ac engine doesn't sound better then a inline triple.

seems they kind of picked the worse bikes of each class

[bradman158]

gixxer

[kablah8900]

so which one is bonkers?

[clevername333]

@kablah8900, indeed..... I too would like to know which one is most bonkers...

[sanborno70]

How can a motorcycle be "too extreme"???? the Hyper is awesome fun, looks amazing, is sneeky fast, sounds incredible and is totally comfy for all-day riding (I did 500 miles on mine last weekend). The Triple & the Gixxer are fun at speeds above the legal limit... the Hyper is loads of fun at any speed... I've owned an s1000rr, a Speed Triple, a Ninja zx6r, and trust me... the Hyperis more enjoyable (not to mention it's an Italian icon as well) than any of them... Ciao!

[kablah8900]

@sanborno70 it was a joke dude, the presenter in one of the videos did one about a royal enfield and kept saying it was bonkers lol

[alexskylarking]

How can you say that the Ducati sounds better than the Speed Triple? We all know that the triple engine is a peach and the over run is also a lovely sound...

[wasdom01]

I've been waiting for a cross segment comparison with these type of road bikes for a while. Great stuff guys, I just wish this was a ten minute vid.

[2wheels2fast]

the trouble is the belts and the more often valve clearance checks with the ducati.

is this the same with the hypermotard?
