Just two years after the mad Hypermotard 1100 wheelied down its first high street, Ducati has given it an all-new engine and jettisoned an amazing 7kg!
When former Ducati designer Pierre Terblanche came up with the Hypermotard, he always visualised it first as having one of the Bologna factory’s smaller air-cooled engines, around the 750cc level.
Kawasaki rather coyly says the 1700 Voyager‘s styling is inspired by 1960s sports cars... Well that’s one way of avoiding a mention of the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra, but few people will be fooled.
The world’s biggest production motorcycle, Triumph’s Rocket 3, has sold reasonably well for an expensive machine but it’s not been the roaring success Triumph was hoping for.
