French website Moto Station are reporting that Ducati will be launching the Ducati Hypermotard 796.
This new entry level Hypermotard will be less intimidating and more economical than the 1100 maxi motard version and supposedly the new 796 will have something between the 80hp of the Monster 696 and the 90hp of the 1100, with standard Brembo radial brakes, instead of the more uperclass Brembo monoblocs, conventional mirrors instead of those nifty, but troublesome folding ones that are on the Ducati Hypermotard 1100.
Stay tuned to see for more news.
