Track Day Domination: 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono Unleashed!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Yes, only a few hundred miles on the bike and we are out on track pushing the single cyclinder 698 to it's limit at the 2024 April 30th Ducati Track Day at the WSBK Donington park here in the UK.
This bike is probably even more fun than the 950 SP on track being lighter, faster in the corners, super late on the brakes and can even use the rear slide brake control to get some nice skids while passing the Panigale's.
I've filmed it using a GoPro and the new Insta 360 Go 3 helmet camera to get a POV on track - the wind was terrible on the day and apologise if that spoils the experience but bear with - theres some good banter and commentating and a bit of off-roading!

what a lovely video mate, glad I was there with you. I can't believe how leisurely some people were riding with all due respect to all. You were absolutely on it, just be careful on that rear brake, don't trust it too too much lol. Fantastic weather , brilliant day

It is.. on track just need to keep momentum and not get slowed down into/out of corners where it lacks a bit of grunt
You were ripping the shit up !! Your commentating cracked me up !! I do the same thing on the track 😂.. That bike was handling great too ... Awsome Clip 🔥🤘

I enjoyed watching that, I am looking forward even more now to my test ride. Your footage reminded me of riding my 1992 TZ250 at Donnington-you can carry masses more speed in the corners and brake much later than the big bikes-but then they just piss off down the straights……

Appreciate all the hypermotard 950 content ! Might be cool to get a insta360 x3 camera, if you put it on a pole off the back it’ll look like you have a drone following you around.

Awesome riding mate. What a bike. The camera position on the first laps clearly shows why supermotos and dirt bikes need to loop the brake line over the dash.
@hypermotardking

Nice one. Did you change your suspention set-up from stock or lowered the front? How was the Rosso IV on track?

Nice laps Kal I have a shit ton of videos behind the bars on my hyper but I don't want to post them because they're on the street if you know what I mean. I had one question what do you weigh with all your gear on that you would ride track with? Last time I checked I was 230 lb which is heavy for a rider. I would love to have an old-school two-stroke rz500 or something similar but I know I'm too fat for that bike😆

My best time on the 950 SP around Doni is a 1:48 (ironically the same laptime as my R1).. so to only be 7 seconds slower which is probably the 7 small straight sections where i lose out on top speed
What’s the orange light on the LHS of the dash??? Traction/Wheelie control?

Head shake sometimes occurs when getting hard on the brakes the handlebars start to oscillate back and forth. In other words, it didn’t appear the bike needs a steering damper. Correct? It looked pretty stable from all the hard braking that I saw.
