Ducati 950 SuperSport .... it this the modern day Storm?
given that Honda brought out the FireStorm to mimic the Ducati 916, I think life has gone full circle and Ducati have brought out the modern successor to the FireStorm with their 950 SuperSport.
A tamed down sports bike with more comfortable ergonomics that you can ride every day.
Ducati 950SuperSport:
110BHP @ 9000rpm
69lbft @ 7500rpm
184kg dry, (210kg wet)
16l tank
Honda FireStorm:
110BHP @ 9000rpm
71ftlb @ 7000rpm
192kg dry ,(209kg wet)
16l tank
and they both have an capital letTer in the midDle of their name
isnt it ironic, dont you think?

I can see what you are getting at Al regarding certain similarities, well spotted
It could be the modern day Storm, although I would prefer to stick with a Honda

Looks nice but needs a taller screen .
It’s about time Honda jumped on the band wagon and brought out a new VTR as they’re very capable road bikes (even in yellow) .

Re: Ducati 950 SuperSport .... it this the modern day Storm?
I guess its close in the definition of an "everyday usable" sports bike, but its , but needs to be a V twin to be a storm replacement.
perhaps the Aprillia RS660 is also closer in that definition

Storm wins on Maintenance, Ducati has Belts, shouldn't be too bad to do by the looks of it but need doing I think every 3 or 5 years now ?. Desmo valves not so easy for the home mechanic (I've never done them) but on top of that it seems you can't reset the Service light, so Ducati want to insist you go to them and pay extortionate service prices (and they really are high at Ducati dealers). That alone puts me off any of the Latest Ducati's.

Re: Ducati 950 SuperSport .... it this the modern day Storm?
Same on my Tuono, service light can only be reset at a dealer. I'm still not letting a dealer put spanners on my bike, so I'll do my own servicing and have them just reset the light. Or just leave it on red flashing spanner
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: Ducati 950 SuperSport .... it this the modern day Storm?
at least on my 2014 KTM I can reset the service light by pressing a secret combination of buttons ............ that are shared on the internet

There is also a video on utube how to reset your service light on the Aprilia Tuono.
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN

Thanks, but that fix doesn't apply to the 18 onwards colour dash ones like mine.alanfjones1411 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 2:17 pm There is also a video on utube how to reset your service light on the Aprilia Tuono.

From the '17 model onwards. However, it's a very small and discrete icon.

Re: Ducati 950 SuperSport .... it this the modern day Storm?
I'd take the Aprilla 660 thanks
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
Re: Ducati 950 SuperSport .... it this the modern day Storm?
That does look rather pretty . in saying that it also shows how well storms have stood the test of time looks wise
the older i get,the faster i was
Re: Ducati 950 SuperSport .... it this the modern day Storm?
Give me the Storm any day!
I like working on my bikes, I like the ownership experience and £14,000.00 would buy roughly 8 decent Storms
