Hello !

Greetings from India to fellow Hyper riders .
I picked up a 2015 Hyperstrada821 couple of months back and so far enjoying it.
Ofcourse the bike feels punished in the Indian thick traffic, but comes on its own on the highways.
Ducati started operations couple of months back in India, very new here, glad they are finally here. Somehow the HS is not so popular here, but i feel its perfect for the traffic conditions in my country.
Lots of valuable information here for me.

Cheers!

Congratulations and Welcome. You might think about gearing the bike down a little if you are going to be stuck in a lot of traffic. I will admit the HS has the best factory gearing of any Ducati I have ever owned but it is still geared a bit high for stop and go.

You're a brave man! I travelled a lot in India when I was younger; it seemed like every man for himself on the roads there. I guess you get used to it?

Welcome along!!

Thanks lomax. Well I cannot do any changes to the bike, the dealer will outright void the warranty . Only solution is to use it for touring and long rides, I dont commute on it at all. The bike cries, pleads and gets too hot for the conditions here.:)

Yes Jokeshopbeard.. lol got used to it. these fast hooligan ducatis are even more challenging to deal with, you gotta be alert and ride defensively. Its worth the risk :D

Namaste!

Welcome to the site.

What part of India are you in?

Seems like the bike would definitely be a great fit for the crappy roads in most places especially leaving towns.

Pretty cool to see brands entering the market there that even just a few years ago would've been impossible to have in India.

Namaste! and Thank you CountChocula.
I am from Bangalore, add bad traffic to the crappy roads and you have a challenging environment for the Hyperstrada to deal. But she does a great job. Loving the acceleration and great brakes(need that).
Its been 4000kms and monsoon is here already, will be fun the next few months.:rolleyes:
