2013 Ducatis

[Rincewind]

A new 110hp, 820cc liquid-cooled Hypermotard replaces both the 1100 and 796 previous versions.  There is also a new Hyper Strada touring-oriented model, and a Diavel Strada touring oriented model...  I'm not sure if the Hyper Strada is coming here or not.

For those who have moaned about a ST4 replacement - Ducati has heard your pleas with the Diavel Strada!  




The Hyper Strada is not showing on the US website, so maybe we are not getting that one...



$11,995 for the new Hyper, per A&R - link.  

This intro is coming on the heels of the MV Agusta Rivale reveal, which claims 20hp more than this revised 820 HM.

[Rincewind]

From the press release on the new Hyper - major service intervals are now 18,641 miles!  Are we sure this thing is a Ducati?:

A milestone 30,000km between major services
The 821cc Testastretta 11° engine reaches another milestone in Ducati’s constant investment in quality byenabling the distance between major service intervals (valve clearance check) to be set at an owner-friendly30,000 kilometres (18,641 miles)

....also a larger fuel tank:


A totally revised fuel tank has increased capacity by 4.6 litre (0.9 US gal) to 16 litres (4.2 US gal), improvingthe overall autonomy of the Hypermotard while maintaining its thin waistline and compact silhouette.

I'd heard the Hyperstrada was definitely coming here. it's also on the US WWW site now:

The Strada made me paint the inside of my pants. Want.

That is the international site that you linked, not the US site.

Still, if it doesn't come here, maybe it will be possible to get those bags and have a similar set-up.

[expatbrit]

Well... motorcycle.com even has a USD price

$13,295.

ABS, TC, electronic motor, and 450 lbs wet.

[Rincewind]

Cool, thanks!  It's up on the Duc-USA site now, too, just like you said.  

There is even a center stand - oh boy!  I'm intrigued by this Hyperstrada.

Ducati may have just built my first Ducati.  I think I buy in to the Hyper-strada concept.  Light weight full on playbike, with just  a dash of commuter sensibility and a pinch of touring.  Sounds like a tasty recipe to me

It's Heather's dream bike; Ducati Bellevue was building something like this, but I think the Hyperstrada really hits the nail on the head. I can't tell if that's hard, locking luggage on the thing from the pictures (I /think/ so, though).

Definitely an interesting bike. More than enough power, a modicum of sensibility (as you say) on the valve checks, decent luggage options, light enough to be truly fun. I'm not sure it's enough to make me ditch the Mutley, but I said '50lbs lighter and about 120 hp would be perfect' and they've nailed that. I can't wait to see the demo at PJ's Triumph, let me tell you.

Oh wow.  That's going to be a winner.  

(*the Hyperstrada that is).

Oh yea, a new Ducati dealer just opened less than 20 min. from my house.  

[Rincewind]

  What a great bike.  

RE: the bags - they look very similar to the new Givi TPH10 Easylock and similar soft bags that operate sort of like hard bags.

Actually, I think they're the bags off the Mutleystrada. In the video, they look really similar.

[R Doug]

It's like a better KTM SM-R.  I really like what they did with this.

I see zippers in the first pic above.

They will sell like 50 of the Hyperstrada. The concept makes sense but we don't have much of a commuter market here and people who do buy commuter bikes aren't going to buy a Ducati because it's on the opposite end of the practical spectrum. Traditional Ducati types aren't going to buy it because it's got bags and isn't as sexy as the Monster. I don't see why they aren't putting the 848 motor into the Monster and making a new S4R.

You're right. I looked again.

I think it'll sell, and sell well. The Multi, at 50% more, is Ducati's best selling bike. Cheaper, with bags, and more than enough power while still pandering to the current trend for Adventure bikes as well as a Ducati? Seems like a winner to me.

[Roadscum]

No adjustments on the front legs, yet another cheeeeeeep piece of sh$t suspenion from Ducati.  
We deserve better!
