Since ownership its received new belts, fluids, battery and voltage regulator in 2020, oil changes by owner. We only one key for it and a clean WA title.

The new Hypermotard puts out a similar amount of power to the old 1100 EVO and weighs about the same too. So if the formula remains largely the same, has anything changed? Just a bit…At its heart, the new Hypermotard doesn’t use a sleeved-down 848 engine, in fact far from it. The bore and stroke of an 848 is 94mm x 61.2mm whereas this engine’s bore and stroke are 88mm x 67.5mm so a smaller piston but it has a longer stroke, the longest of any 4V Ducati. It features a Ride by Wire throttle, 8-stage traction control, ABS and power modes. This is a long way from the ‘dirt-bike with road wheels’ Supermoto mantra; it’s a Supermoto with a 2:1 in IT Studies. Despite having a longer wheelbase the new Hypermotard looks like it’s smaller, thanks in part to the front cylinder sitting closer to the front wheel, which gives the impression it’s more compact. The stubby side-mounted exhaust adds to the compact stance. I think it has the silhouette of a 450 motocrosser and looks fantastic. I can’t fault the fuelling, the power delivery is super smooth and it’ll pull cleanly from walking pace in second gear but I was slightly underwhelmed by the outright stomp of the motor. It’s civil and refined and feels like it ought to have a bit more fight in it. I was buying one, I’d fit a full system before it left the dealer.
