Hi guys. New to the forum so thought I’d post here. Background I’ve been heavily into bikes all my life. Raced motor cross from age of 7 up to adult, had many sports bikes but after a moto cross accident around 10 years ago I had to hang my crash helmet up for a while. Cut a long story short. After having two hip replacements last year I’m on the mend. Still a shoulder replacement to go. But I can now swing my leg over a bike again. Now to my question. I’m looking at buying a hypermotard. I’m looking at the 1100 but open to advice on what’s the best to go for. I’m looking at used ones. What’s the difference between say a 2010 plate to 2013? I’ve seen some 13 plates going for half decent money. What’s the noticeable differences between a 2010, 2013, 2019? When did the design change? Noticed maybe it changed between 12 and 13 plates? Servicing is not a major issue as I can do this myself. Insurance not a problem as I’m an old bugger pushing 50. Thanks in advance.
Welcome Steve Austin - never had one but plenty will be along with advice - the earlier 1100's are Air Cooled, the later ones Water Cooled and smaller capacity basically.
Hi and welcome. I had an 1100S for a year, fantastic bike, personal preference but I think it was a better looking bike than the newer model. One of the few bikes I wish I'd never sold.
I’ve been trying to do my homework but it’s early days. So what year was that one Mick? Must say it looks good in black.
Welcome to the forum I can't help you with the hypomotard all I know is I would like one but unfortunately they are too tall for my short arse Good luck in your search if you do purchase we want pictures asap with you bins Thanks
@JenC has a 796 hyper and is probably only my height (5'6) she has no probs at all... ive not ridden one but would like to.. apart from parking, you only need to get a big toe down to balance at the lights n stuff...
