New Hypermotard

 

2006 MotoGP champ Nicky Hayden does a promotional video for his employers at Ducati. Notice the security guard is the man responsible for the promo video for the first Hypermotard. The new 821cc motorcycle looks even more entertaining than the last version and should probably be a bit quicker and less maintenance intensive thanks to a liquid cooled engine. Interestingly, the original designer (Pierre Terblanche) stated that using an air cooled engine was the only way to keep the size of the bike close to an actual supermoto. This new Hypermotard looks just as small if not smaller than the original, and still uses liquid cooling and the associated radiators. I think this is a well done video and it is the kind of promotion needed to keep this industry alive and to bring new riders into the fold. Hope you enjoy the video.
