Rightly named Hyperstrada !
It's real hyper in character. This is my short and subtle review along with the riding experience and impression of a rare Ducati.

Hmm, It looks weird, but appealing, it looks subtle in some part, but right
amount of aggression altogether. It has top spec parts, but no silly graphics.
Now comes the single sided swing arm, functionally designed bits and parts. I will simply keep on bragging about it, so let's make it short and precise.
It gets all the eyes on road both
wrong & right ones ! But hey, RED DUCATI ! Switching the engine on sounds
similar to any other V-twin, ehmm L-twin. But hey, if u want a clearer description, i will
say it's more like a roar than a purr ! Nothing special like an in-line 4 for
some, but this is more of a wild aggression. Now the engine is near to a litre at 939cc to be precise. 110 BHP and 98NM of torque, hmm sounds average only until u realise that it's all peaking at 9000 rpm and 7500 rpm respectively. What impressed more is the 80% torque which is produced way down and it will take you by surprise. It
will pull like a locomotive, need to be very careful with the throttle.
3 rider
modes are available (Sports, touring & urban). Sports mode comes with super sharp
throttle response and i was more than happy with touring mode. It lacks engine
braking and its so free revving at higher rev ranges. Now comes the brakes. It
comes up with nothing short of the best bit, Brembo M4 monoblock. ABS is
standard. KYB and Sachs does the suspension duties pretty well. Light weight at
around 180 kgs. Now if you ask me to say some cons, i will point at its seating
position. It's real tiring. Getting the sweet spot is very difficult and it
aches all the other time. But it's a real life time experience in it, a
motorcycle from a company known for engineering prowess and design language.
