DUCATI Hypermotard 1100 (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Hypermotard was a supermotard motorcycle that debuted at the 2005 EICMA trade show in Milan, designed by Pierre Terblanche. At the EICMA show, the bike was awarded "Best of Show," and since then, it won other awards.

In 2007, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer introduced the first Hypermotard model in two versions. The standard 1100 model and the higher specification 1100S version.

The S version packed a low friction diamond-like carbon DLC black coating on the front fork sliders, an Ohling rear shock absorber, Brembo Monobloc calipers, Marchessini aluminum wheels with a red pinstripe on the rim, Pirelli tires, and several carbon fiber parts, such as timing belt covers, front mudguard, and exhaust side panels.

In the appearance department, the bike packed a small front cowl with a single headlight unit, small side panels, the signature-style Trellis frame, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and Y-shaped 10-spoke lightweight wheels.

The 2007 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 had its soul brought to life by a 1,078cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 90 hp at 7,750 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 4,750 rpm.

The braking power was handled by two 305 mm discs with four-piston Brembo calipers on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering excellent stopping power.
