Peter R the conclusion is: If you want to go high speed in autobahn buy a panigale or R1. If the top speed (+/-) 230km/h isn't a problem and you like cornoring, wheelies definitly go to a Hypermotard. This bike is so fun, "lot's of torque" , awesome stability and agility.... I just love it
I only ride a few times that bikes(Yamaha R1, Ducati Panigale 899) yes the Ducati Hypermotard SP 821 it's mine and i never tried the old Hypermotard 1100) I'm just saying that hypermotard to me it's more fun that the or two bikes, of corse it depends on what you consider fun or like in a bike. for example when i say Agility, i ment that Hypermotard you can do closed or wide corners with no problem. the closed corners are more complicated to do in R1 or Panigale. i'm not an expert, just my opinion
Im currently working out how to get round my other half to get another 1100 (evo sp this time though)....
What should I buy next mv Augusta f4 or a hypermtotard 821 I had the 1100 a few years back lots of fun!
for me its gotta be the 1100 - the main thing being price - if I was going to go for the 821 it would have to be the sp but youre looking at 9k for a decent one plus id have to have a go first - it'd have to be something special to beat a 1100 evo sp plus If I did go for the 1100 then 2k less would probably get me a nicely modded bike...
Yep - I really miss mine....as I say trying work an angle with the other half!! although what that is I have no idea at the moment...
