DUCATI HYPERMOTARD: READY FOR SPRING 2007
After the success of the "concept" presentation in Milan and following the great response from fans, Ducati has decided to begin producing the Ducati Hypermotard. The announcement has been given online by Federico Minoli on the Desmoblog.
From its first moment in the public eye, last November at the EICMA trade show in Milan, the Ducati Hypermotard has had incredible success and received unanimous consent. This was followed by awards and worldwide recognition - from both the media and from motorcycle designer associations. The Ducati Hypermotard was awarded "Best of Show" during its debut at EICMA and "Best Bike for 2005" by the Motorcycle Design Association.
Federico Minoli, President and CEO of Ducati Motor Holding, took it upon himself to personally follow the potential that this bike has shown among the Community. After a successful online survey, Minoli started an open debate about the Hypermotard on the Desmoblog (reachable through www.ducati.com) and received many positive suggestions from the fans of the "Reds of Borgo Panigale".
On the blog Minoli wrote: "Thanks to the capital increase, the enthusiasm shown by Ducatisti and the work done in research and development, we have decided to add the Ducati Hypermotard to our production schedule, without giving anything else up. We are also going to reduce the development time thanks to the work done while the bike was still a concept. I am therefore proud to announce that the Hypermotard will be available in a dealership near you in the Spring of 2007."
The Ducati Hypermotard incarnates the strength, the fun and the high performance of an extreme supermotard - re-thought in pure Ducati style: 100 hp weighting just 175 Kg (385 lbs); an idea, a dream for every biker that today will become a reality and will be added to the amazing Ducati line-up.

Re: Ducati to produce Hypermotard....
looks pretty. but 100 hp and THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE lbs, thats heavier than some of the new 600's. and i bet its gonna be like 10k. when i get the money im just gonna get a crf450 and slap some street tires on there. Street legal? I could care less, cops have no chance catching a supermotard .
id probably spend 90% of riding time in the lots anyways
