I looked at one of those before I bought my Multistrada - the Multistrada with low seat was lower than the Hyperstrada with low suspension and low seat - so hence why I bought the Multi.
Plus - well - the Hyper is a MAD bike for wheelies and power slides - the Multistrada is more relaxed and sensible - and we all know you need sensible motorbikes..:encouragement:
On the Ducati Demo day the instructor prefered the Hypermotard over all the Ducati bikes they had there (they had them all) - he wanted an SP version .. but that one was not part of the demo kit..
Enjoy - I am sure it will bring a big smile as you ride it calmly...:adoration:

I shall be up the Ponderosa this morning guys, and gals 
Can't stop long , I have a parcel being delivered so I have to be back pretty sharpish
Simon , Ducati have done a couple of mods on the Hyperstrada since you must have ridden it,
You can only buy it in red,
it has a 160 mm ground clearance, (not 178mm)
and the seat hight is 810 mm (with std seat) 25mm lower with the low seat,
It's much tamer than the Hypermotard, I've been using it in touring mode so far,
They only do the one model now,
Only downside, heated grips not in stock Whats new still awaiting Scrambler ones too
It also suits me better than the Multi because of its much lighter weight, ( I'm not getting any younger)

It's what I was looking at before they announced they were making the Scrambler. It was a little bit too tall for me so I was on the fence. Then when they teased us about the Scrambler I waited, and waited and waited ..... Wow, that seems like a long time ago.
The US model has 830mm standard seat height. I wonder why. At 810 with the lower 25mm seat I would have had a year's worth of miles on it by now. Did you lower yours?
Graham good to see you yesterday really like the new hyperstrada, I have put off buying my next bike as the scrambler seems enough at the moment but the gap in my garage will have to be filled next spring. The Quality and finish of the Hyperstrada is really tempting keep us updated on how you enjoy it.I shall be up the Ponderosa this morning guys, and gals

Thanks Steve, Nice to see you again, and thanks for the chain lube, Sorry it was a brief visit, But I had to get back and the weather was crap anyway, poured down all the way back as you know,
MJ ! I was told they only make the one HyperStrada now, It's the low one like mine and they only do it in RED, I did wonder if it would effect the ground clearance when cornering, but it doesn't , I've used the edges of the tyre and not grounded anything, YET
I'm just over 6ft tall with an inside leg of 31" in my stocking feet, and the standard seat is fine I can flat foot easily, Steve who's a little shorter than me had a sit on and he thought it was fine,
A BMW GS was parked next to me when we came out from breakfast, WOW did it look tall , and heavy perhaps because they are

The quality of the finish and the tidy pannier fittings really make a smart bike, very tempted. Noticed Graham's front tyre already being used to the edges so handling looks good but my scrambler wants to be ridden and would sulk as it's still the new baby in the stable.Thanks Steve, Nice to see you again, and thanks for the chain lube, Sorry it was a brief visit, But I had to get back and the weather was crap anyway, poured down all the way back as you know,
