DUCATI Hypermotard 820 SP (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Hypermotard was a supermotard motorcycle built by the Italian Motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, presented at the 2005 EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy. The bike was designed by Pierre Terblanche and was awarded "Best of Show" minutes after its unveiling.

The bike was part of the Hypermotard family, which over the years, expanded and contained machines with different engine displacements but similar appearances. All bikes in the Hypermotard series delivered the iconic Ducati design.

Several years later, in 2012, the Italian motorcycle maker introduced its 2013 lineup comprised of three motorcycles that received numerous modifications to the frame, body, suspension, exhaust, electronics, and ergonomics.

The 2013 Ducati Hypermotard 820 SP was one of three models in the lineup, which compared to the standard model, came in a lighter package due to the use of carbon fiber parts and a higher suspension travel. Also, the bike rolled on lightweight wheels similar to those of the 1199 Panigale S.

Unlike the base model, the SP version featured a race-inspired appearance. It also packed the same riding modes as the 1199 Panigale, Race, Sport, and Wet, an aluminum tapered handlebar, magnesium cam covers, carbon fiber cam-belt covers, and a mudguard.

As for power, the 2013 Ducati Hypermotard 820 SP took its muscles from an 821cc four-stroke liquid-cooled L-twin engine that delivered 110 hp with a peak at 9,250 rpm and 89 Nm (66 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm.
