Ducati Hypermotard

The Ducati Hypermotard is a supermotard motorcycle designed by Pierre Terblanche and first seen at the EICMA trade show in Milan in November 2005, where it won Best of Show. It has a 937 cc dual-spark desmodromic liquid-cooled V-twin, a trellis frame, inverted forks and a single-sided swingarm, weighs under 180 kg, and has quirks such as a duck-bill front fender and handguards that incorporate LED indicators. Ducati unveiled the concept on a dedicated website in March 2006 and then confirmed production after an online survey of visitors. The first 2007 bikes came as the 1100 and the higher-specification 1100S, and the 2010 Evo and Evo SP gained a redesigned engine giving 95 bhp. In 2008 Greg Tracy won the 1200 Pro class at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on a Hypermotard 1100S, the first Ducati to win there.
