I actually really want one, what is it like??? It may be my next bike.....once I pay off this Panigale..... :eek:
 
the hyper's a superb all round bike, it's loads of fun on twisty roads, but upright seating make it very comfortable to commute with. I've taken a couple long demos on one.

If I didn't need something with long distance capability to replace my departing goldwing, i'd be all over the 820.

^ Even then......last week-end I went riding with a buddy who owns a Dorsoduro. We swapped bikes for about 10 miles and as of yesterday the poor Dorso's up for sale. If it goes he'll buy my base and I'll go for the S :)

Understood, but realistically, what would be sensible in a Hypermotard type package.

I ride narrow A-roads, in/out of villages and up/down mountain twisties, so this could be a very interesting stablemate for the 1199.
 
Good point. The Pani has just been the most addictive experience since my first encounter with the opposite gender that I'm probably biased towards anything now.:D
Of all the other bikes I got to ride this summer the next best would be the RSV4, then the F3 and then it's a tossup between the Multi and the Diavel. The Beamer and the Blade are very good bikes but they have a generic feel to them.
 
'08 S Model

@Red999, are those the Termi slips with a 3rd party decat pipe?

How was the performance before/after slips and then with pipe, if you did it separately.

Thanks :)

I'll try & keep it short......Have over 50K miles on 2 First Gen ('08) Hypers.
First one 36K & I had only the Termi slip-ons.
The key is the DP ECU which lets you do away with the O2 sensor. Allows engine to run richer down low & gets rid of the Euro/Lean fueling.

Traded that one in on the new do it all 1200 Multi.
Missed the Hyper after 6 months. Multi is gone & have this one now.

I put the Termi slip-ons & Spark headers on it. Bought the Spark headers for the same price as a cat eliminator pipe. The headers actualy flow nicer into the collector, unlike the typical cat eliminator.

As far as power goes, definite improvement over stock. Just slip-ons make it easier for front to come up in 2nd. With Spark headers bike is a little louder & runs like it has a 14 tooth countershaft sprocket. Bike comes up easily in second & will carry it all the way through 3rd!
Then of course there is the sweet music coming from them:)

Hope this helps. Could go on & on about the First Gen Hyper!
