The basic model is only available in the red paint option. The ‘S’ package is also available for purchase in an exclusive colour – Arctic White Silk, along with the standard Ducati Red. The upgraded S package, which costs an additional $2,500 USD ($2,900 CAD), gives buyers some additional goodies like front and rear Ohlins suspension and a rear seat cowl. The basic model is beyond capable, equipped with multiple rider modes, a full-colour display, and a bi-directional quick-shifter, among other features. The 2023 SuperSport 950 is available in two distinct trim packages – the basic 950 and the premium level ‘S’ package. Opposite the swingarm is a low-mounted dual-can exhaust. The bike utilizes a lightweight trellis frame and a sleek aluminum single-sided swingarm. The seating position is not quite as aggressive as the larger Ducati’s, so it can be ridden comfortably on longer trips, but a race tuck is still possible when needed. It carries key design elements from its Panigale brethren, including a full LED headlight and integrated air vents.

Just like its performance, the SuperSport is no slouch in the looks department. Carrying tradition, the SuperSport’s engine uses desmodromic valves.

The SuperSport is powered by a 937cc L-Twin that puts out 110 hp and 69 lb-ft of torque.

The SuperSport 950 package has gone mostly untouched for a couple of years now, and that’s really not a problem, it’s an excellent platform that works for a wide variety of riders. Enter the SuperSport 950 – a sport bike designed with all of the engineerings of its 2023 lineup-mates that keep it ready for the track, but with some creature comforts that make it a bit more approachable for those who primarily ride on the street. That’s a fact, and Ducati knows it, but they also know that not every rider cares for a hardcore race-bred Panigale. To many, Ducati is synonymous with racing – Almost everyone in the motorcycle world can instantly recognize a bike carving up a race track bearing a glistening Italian Rosso Corsa livery.
