That comment was a reference to my S1000XR. It needed handlebar weights to tame the vibes. I never had an issue with the Hyper - while it does vibrate it's a pleasant frequency.
Congrats on the sale of your HyperMotard. (finalized?)
As mentioned, the Hyper is such an under rated bike, IMO.
Loved your comparo to DRZ400SM. What a joke! No accounting for taste I guess.
I love the Hyper styling, I've had several of the non riding public come up to me and comment that my Hyperstrada is "a work of art". I agree. The affordable Ferrari of motorcycles.
One of the best looking bikes I've ever seen or owned. Andrea Forni and co. did a great job!
It IS a small bike with a very compact rider compartment, yet some fairly lanky guys seem OK on the bike. I've done 10 hour days on mine and the further I go, the better it gets.
I can't imagine riders would not like the style ... but who knows? Harley guys won't like it ... but they're Harley guys. Nuff said on that.
Hope you can hang around this forum and chime in to help us out once in a while!
It,s been 1 1/2 years since I got my HS 939. I love it . 9000 miles so far and no issues, just the regular service and a small adjustment in the trottle.
I,ve been up to 10 hours in the bike and no problem.
Great handling in the curves, the safty pack helps a lot .
I can keep up with the big ones, like Multistrada, KTM, BMW XR , etc. with 50 pounds less in weight.
