WARNING: LATE-NIGHT RAMBLINGS.  100% OPINION WITH LITTLE TO BACK IT UP:

The Hypermotard truck came by So.Cal. a few months ago.  We rode Trabuco Canyon.  While I can't warm to the looks of the bike, I found the 1100 motor in it to ROCK.  Not as strong as a 4-valve Monster, but nonetheless it was wonderful.  I found myself thinking I could be happy with the bike if it wasn't so hard on the eyes.

Although the hot Monsters (S4Rs the best, of course) are wonderful things, and I consider myself a speed demon, there was a special something about the Hypermotard, and its wonderful motor, that I still miss.  I don't doubt that the new 1100 would satisfy all but the pickiest power-mongers.  If the Fighter is as ugly as I fear it will be, the Monster 1100 will be going to the top of my list of new naked bikes.

-RaceTech Gold Valve suspension F/R
-Precious little else because I like what Ducati came up with
