We're enjoying our Hypermotard and are now modding the crap out of it,,, but I don't see the owners posting up here, So I don't know if I should be.. I had a ton of pics I wanted to post.
Any other Hypertards here?

Oooh there's an idea...
I was checking out a HM today. It's bigger than I thought, but really light. I kind of like it. Post up some pics, I'd like to see what you've done.
+1
I've grown to love those things [thumbsup]
Post up -- a modified Ducati irregardless of its birth name is always cool
Okay.. I'll post them up.....
It started life with us like this:

It's not completely done yet.. but it's getting there, eh?
love it!
my next addition will be a hyper motard [thumbsup]
OMG that's the awesome-est thing ive ever seen.
Seriously, that thing rocks! [thumbsup]
Very cool, thanks for sharing! [moto]
What an eye candy...!! Keep us updated please [thumbsup]
I test rode one about 2 months ago. It was the most fun I've had on city streets on a bike (and I have a Husky Tard). As soon as finances allow (or if anyone would ever sell one used), that's the bike I'm getting. And, yours is a fine example I must say. Although, I must say, I think it's funny you toolk the full termi system off to put the mivv on (I know why, but still funny that you would buy one with the termi if you're just gonna take it off).

That's the Full termi system with the MIVV GP can - Much better sound! We didn't remove the Termi.. I wouldn't cut performance on a bike.

Ahh, very cool. Well, a fantastic example indeed.
Some bikes look fast standing still...but that bike also looks fun standing still.
Good work!
how about a custom plate "rizoma"?
it actually has a custom plate: "LEANME"
Sweet!
I want one so bad!

Not really. It's actually 3 lbs. heavier than a Monster S2R1000 (HM=395lbs, Monster S2R1000=392lbs):

Really? I would like to hear more. You have a real tard, but found this more fun? I'm very interested in your opinion with more detail because I'm wanting a tard real bad for my next street bike. I have not ridden the Hyper yet but would like to. It's so heavy that I've been skeptical but very curious at the same time. Weight and cost have bumped it to the bottom of my list so far but as I said, I have not ridden it yet. I want more of a hooligan ride that I can drop and beat up on without the high cost of replacing the abused parts. But, it's a Duc so I have a hard time ruling it out completely!
So, what your take on the Hyper vs. your real tard?
Being 120 lbs. lighter and having a higher power to weight ratio than a Hypermotard, the Aprilia SXV 5.5 ranks higher on my list. And it looks like Aprilia finally resolved the '07 engine issues with revisions in the '08.
That's one badass 'Tard!! The grips and mirrors are way cool. How's it get down the road? [moto]
Sweet bike, I realy like the mirrors

I have a Husky 610 just so you have all the info. The husky is a ton of fun (also, this is a 2001, not the new ones - they could and probably are better), but if you wanna go on any slab to egt anywhere, it gets annoying quick - and you're shifting pretty much all the time.
The Hyper feels lighter than it really is and that engine is just pure sex. It will wheelie at will in gears 1-3 and you can lean that thing into a turn like a damn SBK and it just stays planted (the demo bike I rode had never been ridden before - I put 8 miles on it and it had no chicken strips when I brought it back). However, I never tried backing it into a corner as I think the weight would come into play a bit there - and that is definitely one of the highlights of the 'Tard experience.
Really, you NEED to ride one. It is THE Ducati I would buy if I had 20k lying around (basically, I'd take it over anything but a 1098R and a D16RR).

QuoteWhere are the hyper owners
They are right here, getting passed on the inside.

Just kidding. They are a lot of fun and just about the perfect bike for a tight track like this. But they are not a substitute for a true supermoto.
I have an 06 SMR450 and I was hoping that the HM or the SXV would be a suitable replacement, but so far nothing compares. Maybe the F800GS, but I bet BMW will make it 200 lbs. heavier than it has to be. The HM is essentially a good looking MultiStrada.
