    Add me to the list of Hypermotard owners, picked mine up yesterday after seeing it at Seacoast's Fashion Show / Holiday Party. Always knew I wanted one, never thought it would take this long.. I just went for a short rip - traction control does work (cold tires/ground)

    Check out Forward Air (trucking), they have small containers that hold a bike. If I recall correctly they are reasonable.

    The TC is indeed excellent. Even on dirt, the bike is never gutted by it. Only enhanced. The ABS on the other hand, I
    m ready to rip that shit right off the bike. Sucks ass.

    Fair warning, I am not a ducati guy. Don't really follow them or anything.....Am I crazy to consider trading my 12 Striple R for a 2008 Hyper 1100? There is one for sale locally, could even be a straight trade for my bike. Hyper has 15k on it.

    Your Striple R is probably worth a little more than the Duc. They are very different and hard to compare. if you are not a Ducati guy, it may be difficult to understand. The Triple has a much smoother engin, is lighter, and feels more refined. The Duc has more torque (though you would need to change the gearing), is more raw, and feels more visceral. Both are excellent bikes. It depends what you are looking for. The hypermotard is slightly more focused

    I don't have an end goal other than having fun on the bike. I ride about 1/10th as much as I used to, so when I get out I like to make it count. No two up or long trips are in my near future with out first kid due. The bike will be for having fun on my commute and the occasional solo jaunt

    The 08 I'm eyeing is right in my wheelhouse for price. What's your input on the age of the bike? How are maintenance costs?

    I've got an 08' 1100, bought 3 years ago with 12,000 miles, I've put around 8,000 on the bike.

    I'm far from a Ducati guru, what I hear about this engine is all positive though, and in the service I've done to it I can confirm it's a pretty simple design, my expectation is that longevity isn't an issue if standard maintenance is followed.

    As far as maintenance costs... I spent a couple hundred bucks right off the bat for the obnoxious Ducati specific tools necessary for, everything... But, I'm saving on the other end by doing all the service myself, most expensive of which seems to be checking and adjusting valves and replacing the cam belts. If you're going to pay someone to do that I think you're looking at $1000+ every 6,000 miles.

    With 3 kids, a wife, an ex-wife and a house my riding time isn't what it used to be, but this bike is absolutely perfect for my type of riding and my 42 year old body.

    Oh, I genuinely think any potential Hypermotard owner should consider that wheelies are so fun and easy on this bike it's crazy. I consider myself a pretty responsible guy but anytime that bike comes to a stop I'm lifting the front wheel, anytime I'm in 1st gear I'm lifing the front, anytime I'm in 2nd gear I'm lifting the front, anytime I'm...

    If you're eyeing the 08 in Warwick, RI you should ask where the monoblocs are that are standard on all S models.

    Nope, looking at this one here

    The tank issue scares me a bit. I don't know what models or years were affected by that, I just know kind of anecdotally about it. I'm gonna try to grab the vin number and see what Valley motorsports can tell me about the bike by running the vin.

    Oh also, what's the deal with dry clutches? Will it last as long as a standard clutch? Does that require any special maintenance?

    I'm kind of at the point where I just want a wheelie machine. Doesn't have to practical or comfortable. Just want something stupid fast that will pick the front end up.

    I never had any tank swelling issues, but I Caswell coated it anyway. IMO it isn't cost prohibitive, it's really easy to do, and I like the piece of mind.

    That's a really great price for that bike, but you'll definitely want to know if the Termi's were installed along with the corresponding DP (Ducati Performance) ECU. If not there's a 99% chance you'll want/need a PC/Bazazz or another brand fuel management system, even with the DP ECU you may want to adjust the fueling...

    Someone with more experience can speak to the longevity of dry clutches, mine's been trouble free though. But, my clutch basket is getting notched up pretty good, and louder, from those rattling clutch plates, from what I've read I probably should replace the basket soon.

    I asked around and researched all the same questions you seem to have, my bike has been truly trouble free and so much fun to ride. My only gripe would be the cost of everything labeled Ducati... Tools, parts, gear, apparel, it's over the top.

    The tank issue is mainly a worry for the PA6 Nylon tanks that had a smooth finish and paint. The HDPE tanks that were hidden by external covers (as on this model) were much less of a problem. You may want to get the CA Cycleworks 6.4-gallon tank anyway.

    Dry clutches feel different, but work just fine. Longevity isn't a problem. They're noisy. They're easier to inspect and service.

    Wheelie machine -- you'd have that. The 1100 aircooled 2-valve has a mountain of torque.

    Hyper owners on the Duc forums love those bigger tanks, but it prohibits the stacks and pod filter upgrade which is a great bang for your buck power increase, and if you're not touring often then 100 miles to a tank is liveable IMO.

    Agreed, every Duc I ride has a 100 mile tank in my head. Either from big hp sucking fuel or a small tank design...always ends up being 100 miles which is fine by me. I need to stretch my legs anyway.
