DUCATI Hypermotard 1100 Neiman Marcus Limited Edition (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Ducati Hypermotard 1100 Neiman Marcus Limited Edition, a motorcycle that began its life as a Hypermotard 1100 in Ducati's factory in Bologna and hand-crafted in the United States by Advanced Motorsports, one of the premier Ducati racing shops.

Some notable features of the 2009 Hypermotard 1100 Neiman Marcus Limited Edition included a full Termignoni exhaust system with a performance Electronic Control Unit (ECU), a race seat, a Tricolore graphics and color package, and several carbon fiber elements.

The bike was built on a tubular steel Trellis frame with a 50 mm upside-down Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable Sachs shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent handling capabilities.

In the braking department, the special edition machine packed the same braking system as the standard 1100 mode, with two 305 mm discs and four-piston Brembo calipers on the front wheel and a single 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

As for power, the 2009 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 Neiman Marcus Limited Edition took its muscles from a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering an output power of 90 hp at 7,750 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 4,750 rpm.

Also, the machine was available in limited numbers, and each unit featured a numbered plaque that signified its exclusivity.
