DUCATI HYPERMOTARD STARTS FINAL DEVELOPMENT
Development of the Ducati
Hypermotard, which is to be launched in Ducati Stores all over the
world from this May, is continuing with great success.
As announced in Milan during EICMA
2006, production of the motorcycle will begin during the next few
months and final tests confirm that everything is progressing as
scheduled. The Hypermotard has generated enormous interest all over the
world and Ducati is now channelling significant resources into this
exciting new motorcycle so as to meet all expectations and fully
satisfy the ‘Ducatisti’ eagerly awaiting its arrival.
In recent days a series of tests
have been carried out at the Mores circuit in Sardinia by Vittoriano
Guareschi, the official Ducati MotoGP Team test rider. His testing of
pre-series prototypes has contributed greatly to the final set-up of
the machine.
'The bike is fantastic!' Commented
Guareschi immediately after a track session. 'It's so much fun to ride
that you lose all track of time, you never want to get off it. These
tests have allowed us to define the set-up and make a few final
modifications before going into production . Everything is on schedule
and things really couldn't be better. I reckon the Hypermotard is the
bike that was missing and I'm sure it'll be a great success. I've had a
great time today, knee on the ground at every corner. The bike’s just
perfect, well balanced, smooth and, above all, a true Ducati.'
UK prices have now been confirmed:
HM1100 OTR £7750
HM1100S OTR £8995
