ducati hypermotard - extreme and thrilling to ride

At the 2007 Paris Motor Show, Ducati presents the aggressive Hypermotard 1100 S in a new and tough black colour, which gives a shot of adrenaline to the already amazing design of the supermotard made in Borgo Panigale.


TWO WHEELS, ONE PURPOSE – TO THRILL
The Hypermotard takes on urban canyons and mountain curves with total abandon. Its purpose is single-minded – to thrill.

The aggressive ‘motard’ styling and stance combine with Ducati ‘sportbike’ technology to deliver the best of both worlds. With a riding position that ensures total control, the exceptionally slim and incredibly light Hypermotard is ready to dominate every inch of asphalt with big-bore acceleration and road holding that redefines the street experience.

High performance starts with attitude and the Hypermotard is the most aggressive of the Ducati family. Reduced to its essentials, it is extreme, untamed, over-the-top and always hungry for the next challenge. It offers what no ordinary supermotard can – speeds exceeding 125mph on the race track, fuel injection, and 90 Desmo hp – all combined in an unmistakeable Ducati package that offers unbridled passion for motorcycles that are truly unique and exhilarating.

THE ROAD AHEAD SETS THE CHALLENGE
When first unveiled at the Milan International Motorcycle show in November 2005, the Hypermotard won instant praise. Just hours after its launch it was awarded “Best of Show” and motorcyclists the world over craved its arrival.
By taking the minimalist supermotard racing concept, then adding Ducati’s unrivaled twin-cylinder power and Superbike heredity, the Hypermotard delivers a remarkable experience.

The Hypermotard 1100 is extreme and thrilling to ride every day of the week. It turns familiar roads into an all-new heart-thumping experience.

Taking its attitude into the city or the mountains with street-wise confidence and no respect for conformity, the Hypermotard is ready for any challenge.

The Hypermotard is available in two versions: the thrilling Hypermotard 1100 and, for those who demand a truly extreme attitude, an advanced ‘S’ version, the Hypermotard 1100 S

Ducati Hypermotard Motorcycle

The Ducati Hypermotard is a Ducati motorcycle designed by Pierre Terblanche and was first seen at the November 2005 EICMA trade show in Milan. The Ducati Hypermotard was awarded "Best of Show" at EICMA and has since won other show awards. The Hypermotard has a 90hp, 1078cc Dual Spark 'Desmo' aired-cooled L-Twin engine, weighs approx. 180 kg (396 lb) and is capable of speeds in the region of 200km/h or 125mph. Despite the large capacity engine, it is essentially a bike made for having fun at speeds of up to around 80mph; the upright riding position of such 'Supermoto' motorcycles makes speeds of 100mph+ difficult for the rider, mainly due to the lack of protection from wind blast.

The rigidly triangulated Trellis frame wears 50mm Marzocchi R.A.C./ 48mm Kayaba upside-down forks, and has a Sachs/ Öhlins remote reservoir shock attached to a strong, single-sided swing arm. The Marchesini racing wheels wear dual radially mounted Brembo four-piston, two-pad brake calipers matched with 305mm discs up front, with 245mm discs and two-piston calipers at the rear. In the UK, the Hypermotard 1100 is currently GBP£8,750 while the Hypermotard 1100S is GBP£9,995. The U.S. MSRP of the 1100 is US$11,995 and the 'S' is US$14,495.
