And the correct URL is...

http://www.motorcycledaily.com/15nov...ypermotard.htm



It looks v. cool but a new engine? Nah, looks to me like a tweaked version of that old dog they've been daring to put in the MultiStrada.

Now that bike with a 998 engine? Ohhhh yes please (but then dial in the extra purchase cost, the ahem "reliability", extra servicing costs and insurance and it doesn't seem quite so attractive - now why can't Suzuki bring out a bike like this instead of that embarassment the V-Strom?)

Oh boy,oh boy is that not sexy?! Hint of the Beemer GS fender at the front there! That would be a fun bike all day long..with that certain hint of exotica thrown in!

This link gives a different angle to look at it.

Typical Ducati, no practicality Looks good and with the new wave of V-twin supermoto designs coming through it should be interesting if they do release it.

As usual, it won't be for me, as I'm a short ass and the seat height will be far to high..

Very nice.... doubt you'll see many being used properly though.

Same people who own a Porsche Cayenne would have one... Then again, I would love to own one if I had enough money to throw at it cos its so damn cool!

That does look very nice.
Perhaps almost too nice to chuck around like you would do on a 'motard. Probably a bit fragile for that malarkey too.

So the Superduke edges it for me. On reliability and blackness.
