2016 939 6606km and immaculate. Impatiently waiting on a pre-delivery service and new belts
I asked about that when making initial inquiries about this bike as my previous one was the standard height version. Ducati tell me that Australasia only received the standard version not the Thai/low version and any low versions in NZ will be secondhand imports. Will soon know when I run a tape measure over it.... cheers

I'm getting old and we haven't discussed it in a long time, but around 2015-2016 there was posted proof that all models of that year (possibly US only) would be low versions. A quick way to tell, aside from measuring, is the seat. If you check out Killjoy's recent pics in the Hyperstrada Photo Thread, you can see his seat has a much deeper saddle than a standard. The rear linkage is shorter on low's, and maybe one other frame difference. I think you can still mount standard height suspension, though.
So how is the bike?
Im looking for one but needs to be a 2015 onward so it’s a low version.
Can I ask your height and inside leg?
It‘ll be an HS or a super sort depending on how I feel trying to get my feet down.

Howdy, Howdy!
On my North American market 2016, it mentions two tolerances for chain slack in the owners manual depending upon the model. The sticker on the swingarm on mine specifies the lesser tolerance (54-56) which amongst other things indicates that i have a low rider. Have a look and see what yours specifies. It's the quickest way i know of determining if you have the low model. This is from the manufacturers maintenance manual which seems to cover both the HM and HS.

Hiya, the bike is fantastic. The 939 is a better bike than the 821 (I’ve had both). 821 clutch issue is resolved on the 939 and the poor fueling is better but still pretty poor. A booster plug made a world of difference to the low speed/revs fuelling. Here in NZ we only got the normal height bikes (apart from some 2nd hand Japanese imports). Mine is an Australasia spec normal height model.
I’m 1.76m and inseam is about 810mm. I can flat foot my bike. Cheers.
