As of yesterday I'm the proud owner of a new 2016 Hyperstrada 939. Love it! I had a 2014 Hypermotard, which was also great - but go into this Hyperstrada for the touring options.
Now I have a question about the power of these 939's. I know the geometry and suspension has changed a little bit between the Hypermotard and the Strada. Even with these changes, I feel like the front wheel of these bikes should come up just as easy or close to as easy as my Hypermotard.
Last night, toying around on the bike getting a feel for it I wanted to see how easily I could stand the bike up, knowing it had more HP and Torque than my Hypermotard. I didn't beat on it too hard, but gave it a few good romps and could not seem to stand this bike up. I was in Sport mode with default 3 ABS and 1 TC settings.
It has me wondering if from the factory, Ducati has a limiter on these bikes until the 600 mile mark. I haven't seen anything about it - but I was slightly disappointed when this bike wouldn't wheelie. I don't see why this thing wouldn't otherwise.
Any insight?
