Is Ducati developing a liquid-cooled Hypermotard?

[Triple J]

The way that thing looks, I'd pay $5K more easy for the big one...and it's ugly too, just nowhere near as ugly.  

16 litre tank...what a joke for something aimed at touring.

I have no idea whay anyone would buy this over the KTM SMT...unless you didn't have a KTM dealer nearby.

I won't be trading my SM-T in for one...that is for sure!

Both are hym. lower is strada version

strada is their new touring name

there is a diavel strada also

[DRKWNG]

Well look at that...they made an ugly KTM 990 SMT!  

+ a lot

Seems they are an 820

821cc
110hp

I didn't even look at the size of the tank.    At least this time they are trying to clean up the exhaust and not covering that wheel.

Mechanical (wire) operated clutch

I'd call that a plus...no more slave cylinders to worry about. 

Here's the new Aprilia Caponord. I like the front with the RSV4 styling, and no beak.  It would be a lot better if it had the V4 motor though.

That's more in the MST than the Hyper.

The Hell for Leather article quote $13,995.00 for the Hyperstrada.
It's a lot less the the Multistrada, but then agin it's a lot less bike.
Smaller motor, cable clutch, no DES or Skyhook, no TFT dash...
I do have to agree, it's pretty "unsightly."
I don't kow why they just didn't make a 848 Multistrada?

True, if you're considering engine size. Probably close to the HYM if you're looking at power output though. I didn't really think it deserved its own thread so I threw it in here.

The hyperstrada is not a separate model
just a hypermotard with touring bits

unique bore size (88mm, same as 748), unique crank stroke (67.5mm), why?  i don't understand why you'd make so many versions of the same motor.  there's no 821 class for anything.  the mts 1200 crank is 67.9mm stroke, why not just use that.  surely there's a production engineer somewhere in the company banging his head against the desk.

i don't mind the way it looks tho.  but the people thinking about going up from a 2v bike will ride it and go "uhh".  no midrange.

With those bore/stroke numbers... doesn't that mean something regarding torque?
Which by the way is quite good and at your disposal at 5,750 rpm.
