| |
| == Overview ==
| |
| The Hypermotard takes on urban canyons and mountain curves with
| |
| total abandon. Its purpose is single-minded - to thrill.
| |
| Attack the curves, the bumps, the
| |
| unexpected 2008 MODEL EARLY RELEASE
| |
| Riding the Hypermotard lets you rule the road. Wide, tapered section
| |
| handlebars transfer control of the tarmac to the rider and a full length
| |
| seat eases fore and aft movement up front when entering the turns, then
| |
| slide back for maximum traction on exit.
| |
| 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.
| |
| Features and Benefits
| |
| Riding the Hypermotard lets you rule the road. Wide,
| |
| tapered section handlebars transfer control of the tarmac to the rider and a
| |
| full length seat eases fore and aft movement - up front when entering the
| |
| turns, then slide back for maximum traction on exit.
| |
| A rigidly triangulated Trellis frame and track-tested
| |
| chassis geometry is matched
| |
| with state-of-the-art suspension. Start off with the road-holding prowess of
| |
| huge 50mm Marzocchi forks, gripped by a triple screw lower fork crown. These
| |
| cartridge damper forks work as impressively as they look, with special high
| |
| rigidity stainless steel sliders and external adjustability for compression
| |
| and rebound damping, plus spring pre-load. The rear suspension performs with
| |
| equal precision by using a fully adjustable ZF Sachs shock mounted to a
| |
| robust single-sided swingarm.

| |
| This is the perfect motorcycle engine.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Instrumentation
| |
| The Hypermotard uses Desmosedici GP-styled digital instrumentation. This
| |
| pure racing, minimalist solution has no switches or buttons to compromise
| |
| its clean lines. Instead, additional information to the default read-outs is
| |
| managed by the left handlebar-mounted switch gear, allowing the rider to
| |
| scroll through and select various menus. The read-out presents rpm in a
| |
| progressive bar graph and the speed numerically.
| |
| Looking clean and purposeful, the display provides an extensive amount of
| |
| data including: speedometer, rev counter, clock, maintenance schedule, oil
| |
| temperature, oil pressure warning light, battery voltage, fuel reserve
| |
| warning light, reserve fuel trip, indicator light, neutral light, injection
| |
| system diagnostics, lap time memory storage, automatic light-off function
| |
| after 60 seconds with key on and immobiliser status. In addition, it can
| |
| list lap times recorded by using the high-beam flash button as a stopwatch.
| |
| As the Hypermotard comes Ducati Data Analyser (DDA) ready, the instrument
| |
| display also doubles as a control panel for the activation of the data
| |
| acquisition system. The DDA memory key and software is available as a Ducati
| |
| Performance accessory.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Handlebars and controls
| |
| One glance down at the Hypermotard controls is enough for the rider to
| |
| understand that this is no ordinary Ducati. While its motard feeling is
| |
| enhanced by the minimalist layout, handguards and tapered handlebars, the
| |
| radial clutch and brake pumps with their remote reservoirs show its
| |
| Superbike heritage.
| |
| The fully adjustable clutch and brake levers not only enable a
| |
| comfortable setting for all riders, but the clutch also sports a
| |
| considerably lighter lever action. This is partly because of the lever
| |
| arrangement, but mainly because an increase in clutch plate friction
| |
| coefficient has allowed a reduction in clutch spring pressure.
| |
| Folding mirrors
| |
| Once again, Ducati has pushed motorcycle design limits to find an innovative
| |
| solution for the Hypermotard mirrors. With the challenge of maintaining a
| |
| clean, racing look around the handlebar area, designers created a new
| |
| folding mirror concept which is styled on the handguards typically found on
| |
| off-road bikes. Flipped out for high visibility street mode and easily
| |
| folded in for a quick change to 'Hypermode', the mirror handguard assemblies
| |
| also integrate the LED directional indicators for an even cleaner front-end.
| |
| Footpegs
| |
| In order to offer the opportunity of maintaining a minimalist, no-compromise
| |
| image, the Hypermotard's passenger footpegs are designed to be removable.
| |
| This attention to detail enables a clean 'monoposto' look when on the track
| |
| while allowing a fast and easy change to 'biposto' for the street.
| |
| Furthermore, the rider's footpegs have a removable rubber insert so as to
| |
| increase boot grip on the peg during extreme competition use by exposing the
| |
| serrated metal edge.
| |
| Lighting and indicators
| |
| While the headlamp introduces a new and highly compact lighting shape which
| |
| blends with the single piece nose fairing and front fender moulding, the
| |
| rear light employs a specially designed strip of LEDs enhanced by a high
| |
| diffusion lens shaped into the sleek lines of the tailpiece. The same LEDs
| |
| are intensified under braking. The front directional indicators also employ
| |
| the latest in LED technology for illumination, and are ingeniously
| |
| integrated into the handguards that also support the foldable rear view
| |
| mirrors.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Tailpiece
| |
| The high intensity LED rear light assembly is moulded into a unique
| |
| tailpiece positioned high behind the seat. The supporting structure has been
| |
| designed so that the under part of the tailpiece is formed perfectly to
| |
| offer a sturdy pair of pillion grab-handles. This ingenious solution not
| |
| only helps to merge the rear light into the Hypermotard styling but also
| |
| provides a safe grip for passengers.
| |
| Ducati Data Analyser (DDA)
| |
| With the purchase of the DDA, which includes PC software, a USB-ready data
| |
| retrieval card and instructions, owners can review and analyse the
| |
| performance of the Hypermotard and its rider, and make comparisons between
| |
| various channels of information. The DDA is available from Ducati
| |
| Performance Accessories.
| |
| Normally used on race bikes only, the system records numerous channels of
| |
| data including throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine rpm, engine
| |
| temperature, distance travelled, laps and lap times. The system also
| |
| automatically calculates engine rpm and vehicle speed data so as to display
| |
| gear selection as an additional channel of information. At the end of a ride
| |
| or track session, up to 2MB (approximately 3.5 hours) of data can be
| |
| downloaded to your PC ready to compare, analyse and get an inside view of
| |
| the rider's and the Hypermotard's performance.
| |
| Data can be analysed in graphic form with options to zoom into detail of
| |
| specific sections. Dragging a trace along a timeline to reveal individual
| |
| values of the above listed channels enables the user to analyse performance
| |
| in the same way as data technicians in factory teams.
| |
| Exhaust System
| |
| The Hypermotard's 2-1-2 catalytic exhaust system with lambda probe is Euro 3
| |
| compliant. Its lightweight and compact design is achieved using 1mm thick
| |
| tubing which terminates in Ducati's trademark twin under-seat, black exhaust
| |
| mufflers, stylishly contrasted with great looking aluminum end caps.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| DESMOPOWER
| |
| The Hypermotard 1100 is powered by the incredible Ducati two-valve,
| |
| air-cooled, Desmodromic Dual Spark engine, giving it outstanding power
| |
| delivery, from grunting low rpms to the singing howl at redline. The
| |
| Hypermotard 1100 engine, which is an EVOlution of the Multistrada 1100
| |
| engine, flexes its muscles with a big 98mm bore and short 71.5mm stroke to
| |
| make 90 horses and 76 pounds of torque.
| |
| In keeping with its extreme character, engineers chose the Ducati 'dry'
| |
| racing-style clutch for the Hypermotard, the popular preference of thousands
| |
| of Ducatisti the world over. Furthermore, the primary drive gears have been
| |
| advanced with a new lightweight construction.
| |
| Power is optimized with fuel injected into 45mm throttle bodies and a
| |
| 2-1-2 exhaust system that exits high behind the rear of the saddle.Two spark
| |
| plugs per cylinder, Dual Spark, optimises combustion temperatures and
| |
| increases maximum power and torque throughout the rev range, enhancing
| |
| reliability and reducing fuel consumption.
| |
|
| |
| Compact and purposeful, the Desmo Twin engine's lightweight and narrow
| |
| L-Twin layout, no wider than a single cylinder, ensures that the bike is
| |
| lean and agile. The air-cooled design eliminates all the water radiators,
| |
| hoses, valves, reservoirs and pumps, keeping the motorcycle's weight down to
| |
| a minimum 390lbs (177kg) and its lines clean and race-like.
| |
| With more experience and success with twin-cylinder high performance
| |
| engines than any other manufacturer in the modern era, the air-cooled L-Twin
| |
| remains central to Ducati's philosophy of motorcycling. This experience,
| |
| plus constant investment in quality by design, advanced materials and
| |
| engineering techniques, has allowed Ducati to reduce the cost of scheduled
| |
| maintenance by as much as 50%.
| |
| Adding 'S' to the Hypermotard takes the thrills and road holding to the
| |
| highest level.
| |
| The outstanding Marzocchi 50mm forks of the 'S' include a durable low
| |
| friction, DLC (diamond-like carbon) black coating to the sliders, making the
| |
| Hypermotard 'S' respond effortlessly to every minute variation in the tarmac
| |
| and improve its already impressive road holding. The advanced 'S' suspension
| |
| is further enhanced with an Öhlins remote reservoir rear shock, renowned in
| |
| racing circles as the ultimate performance choice. This incredible shock is
| |
| fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping and spring preload
| |
| ensuring that the 'S' is readily adaptable to riding style and every road it
| |
| challenges.
| |
| With a bike as capable as the Hypermotard 1100 S, superior stopping power
| |
| is fundamental. By using the same Brembo Monobloc calipers first introduced
| |
| to the world on the new 1098 Superbike, world class braking performance is
| |
| assured. Each caliper is created from a single casting, as compared to the
| |
| conventional two piece construction, to ensure rigid flex-free operation and
| |
| a consistent solid 'feel' at the lever. And to ensure that the look of the
| |
| calipers matches the 'S' personality, each is machine finished.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Professional racers know that one of the best ways to improve the
| |
| handling and performance of a motorcycle is to reduce unsprung weight by
| |
| upgrading to superior lightweight wheels. Even from a distance, the black
| |
| Marchesini wheels with red pin-stripe confirm the 'S' performance of this
| |
| Hypermotard. Created from forged then machined alloy, both front and rear
| |
| wheels are significantly lighter (2 kg less than the standard version) and
| |
| create a lower moment of inertia and unsprung weight for improved handling
| |
| and quicker steering. Mounted to the wheels are new Z-rated Pirelli Diablo
| |
| Corsa III tires. Designed to deliver racing performance on the road, they
| |
| warm up quickly, give great feedback, are stable under severe braking and
| |
| feature dual compound construction on the rear.
| |
| The 'S' lightweight performance and extreme look is further enhanced with
| |
| the liberal use of carbon fibre. The advanced composite is used for the fork
| |
| protectors, timing belt covers, front fender rear section and tail side
| |
| covers.
| |
| The Hypermotard 'S' - maximum performance, minimum weight, extreme
| |
| attitude.

| |
| ReviewWithout a doubt the
| |
|
| |
| Hypermotard 1100S represents the evolution of the supermoto
| |
| classes' sexy side. While the original single-cylinder
| |
| motocross-style hybrids represent the rough and tumble,
| |
| multi-purpose approach to the motard philosophy, Ducati's
| |
| creation represents a new era of purpose-built machines that
| |
| combine the best of sportbikes, supermotos and streetfighters,
| |
| wrapped in an audacious package. Although the liquid-cooled
| |
| Singles are competent in their own right, none of them have
| |
| demonstrated the sex appeal or created the buzz equivalent to
| |
| the Hypermotard's between the time of its 2005 unveiling at
| |
| Milan to the production version's official release earlier this
| |
| year.
| |
|
| |
| The buzz for me became real as soon as I thumbed the starter for
| |
| by my memorable first ride on the Motard, as it could have
| |
| easily landed me in the county pen for a few days. I left no
| |
| traffic law un-violated during an epic two-hour commute home on
| |
| my personal favorite backroads. Although the Hypermotard may not
| |
| have been intended as a pure hooligan bike, that doesn't mean it
| |
| can't tap into a rider's inner thug. I usually try not to ride
| |
| like a moron, but I just couldn't resist on this bike with the
| |
| end of summer approaching faster than the entrance to the next
| |
| sweeper. I was compelled to approach every corner as fast as
| |
| possible, while maintaining a slight margin for error of course,
| |
| with the rear wheel swapping, brakes howling and my pulse a
| |
| palpitatin'.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Just looking at Ducati's hottest plaything
| |
| is enough to get your heart racing. It is a showcase of
| |
| technological elements representing the best of Bologna, as
| |
| envisioned by the company's renowned motorcycle designer Pierre
| |
| Terblanche. What started as a plan to address Ducati's lack of a
| |
| player status in the increasingly fashionable supermoto class,
| |
| evolved into Terblanche's vision we have here. Choosing to take
| |
| the proven goodness of the Multistrada and narrowing its focus
| |
| to the adventurous side of the performance spectrum by dressing
| |
| it up with the appropriate sporting accoutrements, Terblanche
| |
| has simultaneously came up with a design that retains the Ducati
| |
| charisma, fills the playbike void and redeems his status in the
| |
| hearts of Ducatisti who did not exactly embrace his last
| |
| creation, the 999. All this accomplished without requiring an
| |
| entirely re-tooled assembly line.
| |
|
| |
| The Hypermotard and Multistrada actually have a lot in common
| |
| including, but not limited to, the motor and chassis. These
| |
| battle-tested pieces are the heart of the Hypermotard 1100S,
| |
| while the striking appearance and playful personality
| |
| characterize its soul. Behind the tubular steel trellis frame is
| |
| an air-cooled dual-spark 1078cc mill, which features a 98 x
| |
| 71.5mm bore and stroke and 10.5:1 compression ratio fed fuel by
| |
| a Marelli EFI system with 45mm throttle bodies, all of which are
| |
| shared by the Multistrada 1100. This combination is surprisingly
| |
| potent in application. The unobstructed view of the entire
| |
| DS1100 powerplant allows the magnesium-colored aluminum engine
| |
| cases and carbon fiber inspection cover to provide the eye-candy
| |
| for the intrigued ignoramuses that are certain to gather around
| |
| it at every stop.

| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Inevitably those Q&A sessions often start
| |
| at the intriguing backside of the bike. The single-sided
| |
| swingarm, sourced from the Multistrada, holds a lightweight
| |
| forged-aluminum Marchesini 17" wheel wrapped in wide 180-series
| |
| Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa III rubber. A two-piston Brembo
| |
| caliper and 245mm rotor are tucked between the wheel and the
| |
| swingarm whilst a fully adjustable remote-reservoir Ohlins shock
| |
| adds the finishing touch to the sporty components on the rear.
| |
| While a few key pieces are shared with other models, the trellis
| |
| sub-frame is designed specifically for this bike. It holds the
| |
| long motocross-style saddle and provides a place to pack all the
| |
| sophisticated electronics out of harms way.
| |
|
| |
| Notice how the exhaust pipes are routed along the underside of
| |
| the sub-frame and the pair of bland, round black aluminum
| |
| exhaust canisters are tucked strategically beneath the tail
| |
| section. As usual, the heat emanating from the exhaust can get
| |
| annoying in stop-and-go traffic, but all but disappears when
| |
| underway. Thankfully, they sound better than they look too, but
| |
| it is easy enough to replace those eyesores with the accessory
| |
| Termignoni Carbon homologated silencer kit. Do it, and suddenly
| |
| the unobtanium factor doubles. That small, red aerodynamic wing
| |
| above the exhaust actually serves as both the taillight assembly
| |
| housing and passenger grab handle by the way. Everything has a
| |
| purpose in Terblanche's minimalist design.
| |
|
| |
| At the tip of the spear is an undeniably Ducati red nose piece
| |
| that is curiously reminiscent of the 999. The front fender/
| |
| headlight assembly has a quartet of nacelle ducts that break up
| |
| the pointed and angular appearance. It doesn't offer much in the
| |
| way of wind protection but it ties in with the faux intake
| |
| shrouds that serve as the only significant bodywork found on the
| |
| entire bike. The matte black fuel tank cover with aluminum gas
| |
| cap is a nice contrast that completes the basic black/red theme.
| |
| The bars are really wide and the hand guards have LED indicators
| |
| integrated into them. What's really cool, is that the flip-out
| |
| mirrors that can be easily tucked away when the need arises.
| |
| With them in their operational position the view is excellent
| |
| but looking at it in motion it reminds me of a kayaker holding
| |
| the paddle horizontally before entering a tough section of
| |
| rapids. It definitely is like nothing on two wheels I've seen
| |
| before.
| |
| The instrument cluster is best described
| |
| as dainty but it's packed with all the information necessary to
| |
| make the jump to warp speed. It features a speedometer, tach,
| |
| clock, lap timer, injection system diagnostics, trip fuel to
| |
| empty monitor, low fuel warning light (no gauge), oil pressure,
| |
| oil-temperature, battery level as well as the flux capacitor
| |
| hyperdrive engagement mechanism. All of these functions are
| |
| controlled by a switch on the left handlebar.
| |
|
| |
| A fully-adjustable 50mm DLC-coated Marzocchi long-travel fork
| |
| with a matching Marchesini 17" front wheel and 120-series
| |
| Pirelli tire do a stellar job of absorbing road imperfections
| |
| and remain well composed throughout all the riding environments
| |
| we could throw at it on the street or the track. A pair of
| |
| gigantic 305mm discs and radial-mount Brembo Monobloc 4-piston
| |
| calipers, the same units found on the new 1098 superbike,
| |
| ensures the braking system is as equally impressive as the
| |
| suspension. It even comes equipped with steel-braided brake
| |
| lines for good measure. Just by looking at the brakes you can
| |
| imagine how powerful they are, but despite this they offer up a
| |
| surprising level of feel which allows the rider to trail brake
| |
| without fear, diving deep into turns while modulating their
| |
| awesome power like a pro. Be aware, they are not fail-safe.
| |
| These are the brakes of the Gods and they deserve and require
| |
| respect because the feel is there but it's up to the rider to
| |
| make good use of it. The superb feel at the radial-mounted lever
| |
| can deceive any mortal to feel superhuman on the brakes when
| |
| bringing the ride-ready 431-lb shredder to a stop.
| |
|
| |
| As soon as you straddle this tall, thin machine with its 33-inch
| |
| seat height, it makes no excuses for being a supersonic dirtbike
| |
| with a healthy dose of Ducati design elements, foremost among
| |
| them being its big-bore Desmodromic Twin delivering smooth,
| |
| buzz-free power that the single-cylinder street-legal supermotos
| |
| can only dream of. Clamp your legs around its cold tubular steel
| |
| frame and embrace the smooth minimalist body panels covering the
| |
| tank. The slight cut-outs offer a semblance of a leverage point
| |
| in the tighter, more aggressive turns but it's so thin it's damn
| |
| near a moot point. The small footpegs feature removable rubber
| |
| inserts, so you can adjust them or the shift lever's toe pad to
| |
| suit your needs. The wide bars are low, like a sportbike, which
| |
| gives taller riders an elbows-out aggressive stance, but it
| |
| feels very much like a bike ready to race the Baja to me.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Surely the wide bars attributed to the
| |
| ease of which it turns in, but it is ridiculously easy to toss
| |
| the bike back and forth. It's so thin and well balanced that it
| |
| can lull you into a false sense of confidence that you can go
| |
| faster on a familiar road. Once I realized I was pushing my luck
| |
| on my memorable first ride, I backed it down and started trying
| |
| to carry power wheelies over the rises and other less
| |
| treacherous behavior, so as not to auger this piece of art into
| |
| an oak tree just because my medulla oblongata took control of my
| |
| throttle hand for about a half hour. What I did learn from my
| |
| angry country cruise is that the Marzocchi fork was more than up
| |
| to task under any condition public roads have to offer. When our
| |
| more experienced riders got a hold of it on the track they had
| |
| nothing but praise for it as well.
| |
|
| |
| The riding position places the rider up on the tank with a clear
| |
| view of the road ahead. Weight bias reveals that 47% of the
| |
| bike's weight is on the front wheel, so coupled with the rider's
| |
| weight loading another buck-fifty to the nose it makes sense
| |
| that the Hypermotard goes where it's told. With steering
| |
| geometry set at 24 degrees of rake and 99mm (3.9-inches) of
| |
| trail and its relatively short 57.3-inch wheelbase, it's easy to
| |
| imagine that you're destined for a head-shaking good time. But
| |
| just like the Multistrada, from which this chassis originated,
| |
| it doesn't get out of line unless you're on the gas, the front
| |
| wheel's light and the road is rough. It has the chassis and
| |
| suspension to hang with anything short of a pure repli-racer on
| |
| the road or track and enough inherent stability to wax a pure
| |
| supermoto on anything this side of a go-kart track. But does it
| |
| have the motor to seal the deal?
| |
|
| |
| Despite its relatively uninspiring dyno
| |
| numbers, the motor feels more peppy and ready to rumble than
| |
| you'd expect - 78 horsepower never felt so good. The Hypermotard
| |
| is deceptively fast, accelerating hard with a 60 lb-ft spread of
| |
| torque that peaks at 66 lb-ft around five-grand. It's capable of
| |
| lofting the front wheel with ease in the first two gears of its
| |
| very slick-shifting and precise 6-speed transmission. A
| |
| respectable 11.70-second quarter mile at 114 mph isn't going to
| |
| challenge a supersport in a drag race, but it has more available
| |
| torque than any modern 600, so it won't get absolutely waxed if
| |
| the rider is on top of things either. Even the dry clutch proved
| |
| to be durable through our hard riding antics, dyno runs and
| |
| performance testing. That's right, this beauty makes a lot of
| |
| racket while idling, but the reason Ducati opted for this set-up
| |
| was that it allows for a much easier swap to the $980 accessory
| |
| slipper clutch for folks that want a little bit more go-fast
| |
| goodness to work with. To say this bike is entertaining is a
| |
| gross understatement, but not everything is good in the world of
| |
| the Hypermotard.
| |
|
| |
| Over the course of our torrid affair a few things popped up that
| |
| I didn't like, most of which are centered around rider comfort -
| |
| the most painful problem being the shape of its motocross-style
| |
| seat. It's fine when you first climb on and its easy to accept
| |
| in small doses, but after a couple long days in the saddle and
| |
| moving around during aggressive riding, the seat starts to
| |
| induce the dreaded chaffed-butt syndrome on the inside buns
| |
| because of its narrow design and firm padding. There's
| |
| absolutely zero wind protection, except for the rider's hands
| |
| which are out of harms way behind the crash guards, so early
| |
| morning or late night rides can get chilly quick. It will please
| |
| some of you to know that the headlight works very well. It cuts
| |
| a wide swath through the darkness but it isn't as bright as the
| |
| projector beam on a bike like the Multistrada.
| |
|
| |
| Then there are a couple issues with those trick mirrors. While
| |
| they work well when adjusted correctly, they get blurry at high
| |
| speeds. Additionally, when the nifty fold-out feature is
| |
| constantly being shown to onlookers, they eventually work loose
| |
| and become prone to moving with the force of the wind if you
| |
| don't stay on top of the adjustment dial. Of course, the only
| |
| way to tighten them is when the bike is at a standstill, so if
| |
| they start migrating it requires you to bring the ride to a stop
| |
| to get things back in order. Another gripe is the 36 mpg average
| |
| fuel consumption, which is great considering it's hard to keep
| |
| the pace mellow, but the modest 3.3 gallon fuel capacity equates
| |
| to roughly a 120 mile range of service. Considered as a commuter
| |
| and weekend warrior this is not a big deal, but if you have any
| |
| notions about adventure touring this sexy beast then it will
| |
| require quite a few fuel stops to get to your destination.
| |
| Really these gripes are a small price to pay for such a trick
| |
| set-up but I know how you all get when I don't point this stuff
| |
| out.
| |
|
| |
| From the moment I first laid eyes on this piece of Italian
| |
| exotica its appearance stole the show and that never changed as
| |
| I soaked in everything it had to offer in our short period of
| |
| time together. Like any budding relationship, the honeymoon
| |
| period was comprised of copious hot and sweaty romps through an
| |
| assortment of locales until the novelty started to wear off.
| |
| Fortunately, in the case of the Hypermotard, it never really
| |
| wore off. I still wish it was at my beck and call at this very
| |
| moment. What is simply irresistible about the bike is its
| |
| combination of razor-sharp handling, rider-friendly power
| |
| delivery from the overachieving motor and the intangible value
| |
| of its appearance. The issues that did come up don't detract
| |
| from the overall goodness especially since its never been billed
| |
| as anything but a high-end alternative to the street-legal
| |
| Singles that make up the majority of options in this market.
| |
|
| |
| If a potential suitor is intrigued by the pseudo-supermoto
| |
| lifestyle but they are not interested in having their fillings
| |
| rattled out and have discretionary income to the tune of $13,995
| |
| for the S-model or $11,495 for the equally entertaining though
| |
| not as aesthetically pleasing standard version of the
| |
| Hypermotard, then why not go for it? I can hear the complaints
| |
| already: It's too expensive, it's too narrowly focused, it's no
| |
| 1098 or pure sportbike. While these are valid points, if that is
| |
| your state of mind, then this bike is simply not for you and you
| |
| can sleep easy in your blissful ignorance.
| |
|
| |
| When it's all said and done the question is why would someone
| |
| buy this bike over a purpose-built sportbike, streetfighter or
| |
| supermoto? Because the Hypermotard is a blend of the key
| |
| elements from all of these genres. Its attacking supermoto
| |
| riding position and flickability, exposed streetfighter-like
| |
| design elements combined with top-shelf sportbike quality
| |
| suspension and braking components make this bike an attractive
| |
| way for sport riders to be lured away from the blinding light of
| |
| the rising sun and into the seductive underworld of the
| |
| Ducatisti. Believe the hype.
