Frank Melling of Motorcycle USA has posted a review of the Ducati Hypermotard.
The Hypermotard has a secret, secret - and a clever one too. On the road, it gives the ordinary rider the feeling of being able to beat Casey Stoner.
However, we took the bike to my favorite racetrack - the Anglesey Race Circuit. Here, on the 2.1 miles of undulations, off cambers and curves it was revealed not to be nearly as good as it seems on the back roads. In particular, anyone intending using the Duc really hard needs to urgently invest in the optional slipper clutch - or develop a strong interest in exploring gravel traps.
Does it matter that the Hypermotard is not really as good in bed as she performs on the back seat of your car? Not one iota!
