RIDE REVIEW I 2021 DUCATI SUPERSPORT 950 S
P90
exhaust collector box and the upper fairing
has been crafted to help direct cool air
towards the rider. It's a look not for every-
one, almost like a bike that doesn't know
what class it's in, but once you ride it, the
aesthetic begins to make sense.
Much of this is due to the handlebar po-
sition. Raised above the top triple clamp,
the ride position is the most relaxed of any
machine that could be considered a sport-
bike. It's a bit like the Kawasaki Concours
14, just smaller in every dimension, with
the adjustable screen offering excellent
wind protection for highway riding.
At constant speed, the mirrors are
pretty much useless. They vibrate their
brains out, and you have to pull the clutch
lever in to stop the vibrations and actually
see what's behind you. It seems a little
odd Ducati would overlook something as
basic as this, as I know many other testers
around the world have had the same issue.

between street comfort and sporting prowess with
the SuperSport's ride position.
