Ducati has revealed the first pictures of their 2010 Hypermotard 796 together with the most important features of what is definitely a smaller and much more versatile twin-cylinder Italian motorcycle with sportbike credentials and very aggressive looks.
The first and most important thing about it is the entirely new Ducati 796 Desmodue L-Twin engine with a bore and stroke of 88mm x 66mm, which gives it the ability to rev high and develop 81hp (59.6kW) of power and 55.7lb-ft (7.7kgm) of torque very smoothly. Although designed with performance in mind, the new engine is claimed to be very reliable and meet Euro 3 regulations. Also, given the bike’s 368 lbs (167 kg) dry weight, the new powerplant returns 49mpg, which is good considering the thrill.
