I was thinking Metzler Roadtech 01. Any other suggestions? I got 3k miles out of the stock tires. Getting a little more would be OK but performance first.

Im just getting around to swapping out my OEM air filter with a BMC and noticed signs of water inside the air box, also road grime and small stones on top of the airbox. I try to ride year round in an area that has 4 seasons. Recently i was riding in wet snow. Upon closer looking I noticed a...

Recently I've gotten a taste of real offroading on my HS. It was great fun and the bike is more than capable, it reminds me of riding something like a XL650 but without all the ground clearance. At this point I have little to share but I thought a thread to solicit tips from more seasoned...

I've had ridiculous things happen all day today. It began with being stung 24 times by yellow jackets... Fun. Just now, I was headed out to do my usual 10-15 mile loop to air out the mind and I came at a street head on instead of a right turn like I normally would and totally underestimated how...

I would like for one of the experts here to explain the Riding Modes to me. 2014 Hyperstrada. 1. I do know that in sport and touring it is supposed to be 110HP and in Urban it is supposed to be 75HP. So what is the High, Medium, and Low settings. On my Multi you can set the throttle...

My turn signal button fell off or broke off while riding on a highway. I use my signals a lot so I probably fatigued the button to a point where it broke off. (lack of use of turn signals is one of my biggest driving pet peeves). I know the signals automatically go off at a certain...

I am looking for comfortable protective riding gear that will fit me and not break the bank. It seems to be difficult to find since I am short (5' 8") and stocky (190 lbs evenly distributed). broad legs, 32-33" waist, 30" inseam, and about 42-44" chest. I know that I'm not the only guy...

I was on t tollway yesterday going the usual 80 (75MPH speed limit) when I saw the bike was in Urban mode. I ride consevatively so the acceleration should have been slower but maybe I didn't notice. But wouldn't the Duc be revving higher at 80MPH than if she was in Touring mode? TIA, Eric

Out yesterday on the Hyper for ride over the green mountain (https://vimeo.com/75692951), which is getting less green as the summer approaches. It was a glorious sunny morning, about 10km from home I see a Brown Snake (one of Australia's many venomous snakes) curled up on the road, someone has...

Hyperstrada Strange Engine Sound After Ride - YouTube Made a video.. Not sure what the sound could be.. I have never heard a Ducati make a sound like this after riding it each time. You may have to turn your speakers up to hear it...
