Luke Wilkins of the Motorcycle Diaries does his first of many reviews on one of our demonstrator motorcycles. This week we lent him the Ducati Hypermotard 796 and let him give it a blast. Take a look at what he thought and how the italian machine performed.

@nmlc525 Yes I know that feeling, thats what happened to me last July. Both bones broken and 8 months rehabilitation..... lol

Great review (as usual).

When it comes to "fun factor" and city riding, would you choose the Hyper 796 or the Monster 796?

[PHMotorcycles]

@pjdaprinz Ohhhhh you know, I really liked the mutate, but something about the monster that stirs my loins!!

The motard defo has a massive fun and practicality level, whole monster prob not as nimble....tricky one....

Test ride em both!! ;-)

@PHMotorcycles how much  does this bike cost in aus or could you tell me this mate how much does it cost to have it imported from usa

[PHMotorcycles]

@MrThewaffen

The price in the UK is £7795 but in Australia I would recommend approaching the Ducati dealer network or importer. As for importing from USA, that would be a harder route than inquiring in the country of use. We do not know the regulations regards exporting/importing from the USA to Australia.

Just bought this bike yesterday. The grin factor and the fact this thing is nimble and easily controlled were the main reasons I pulled the trigger on the hyper 796. Lovely bike that is incredibly fun to ride. Great review as well!
