a 1000cc supermoto... that'll be a beast!
Looks the biz too, Ducati have outdone themselves for sure.

A 620 version and I thinks I've just found a new DD bike!

What is that single swinger and V-twin doing in a Supermoto, no no no no no!!!

[Gizmo]

too big , too heavy sorta destroys the whole supermoto thing and ktm have already done that with the SM950.

sold my supermoto and only time i regret it is in winter, they are fun for 70 miles of wet road sliding and have to be cheap to fix when you bin them hence the plastic tanks/cheap moto x parts prices on ktm 640's etc bet that baby aint light, and parts wont be cheap.need to be light as well and the v twin lump ain't.


its just a modern big naked road bike cloning the fashionable super moto look, hardly groundbreaking although it does look nice

Agreed!
Nice concept tho,...dunno where the fuel will go,...tank looks too small,no room under the seat,....fairing side panels?
Nah,gimme a KTM LC640 any day.

[Twinfan]

I'd want the 800 with a single swinger...

[Tonio600]

1000 DS as well for me

And btw, the name is Hypermotard, not Hypermoto. Respect the first Ducati with a name sounding French
