Hyperstrada 821 Vs 939

For one the clutch works and does not make you look like you have never set off on a bike before.
The bike is much faster accelerating than the 821.
The only other thing that is better is the suspension but that is only on the ohlins spec s.p version.

 

With bigger cylinders do they sound a bit different / better too?

 

Yes, I don't know about the 821 but the 939 clutch can be very grabby, especially when cold and in sport mode

 

the 821 clutch was terrible . The 9393 clutch is just like any other bike.

 

My 821 clutch is like a switch. It has a window of about 1mm between in and out, where you can actually pull away.

 

Did you change in the end?

 

The older 821 SPs will have taken the majority of their depreciation by now.

When as a newer 939 SPs still have a fair bit of value to lose.

Over 2-3 years ownership that’s a fair bit of difference in cost.

So is the 939 SP worth the extra £3 a day........?

 

I've been looking at sp,s also however the 1100 is premier league fun if a bit primitive however but a 939 sp would be very welcome

 

I tried an 1100 before i bought a 939 . I absolutely hated the thing ,but horses for courses.

 

I can understand that ! they are Very agricultural .That's why I like them

 

I was going to write that it seemed agricultural to me but one mans tractor is another mans Harley.

 

Yes but I wouldn't go as far as including Harley into the comparason Steve

 

Ironic as the clutch on the 1100 is lovely and smooth.... well mine is...

 

I guess this is a pretty subjective feeling.

 

Providing you look after and service the clutch i wouldnt say so....it always feels a little better just after ive serviced it...

 

there is a modified clutch kit you can buy, I did mine earlier this year, the clutch is perfect now.
One of the plates is machined and a bevel washer is installed. Makes a huge difference.
Got mine from fleabay, £60.00
