Crazy how this single has a higher redline and makes the same amount of horsepower as my Nighthawk 750. Crazy what 30 years of tech will do!

[@williamrae9954]

Sorry, my fat finger responded to the comment below...90bhp single cylinder Rotax engines

[@TheGgbk]

Also this should be much lighter weight than the 750 nighthawk, over 100 lbs lighter, same HP, more torque, much more suspension travel, thats why I love supermoto

[@villeayras5371]

The emissions and noise rules ruin bikes now. So it's harder to pull power while keeping things legal.

[@cranky1812]

Bro KTM is making a 690 for years which makes 70 bhp easy in stock form.

[@Golgi-Gyges]

Great point there

[@duffyrides]

Ducati recently announced they are getting into motocross. This single cylinder bike not only looks great but it appears to be the first in a long line of single cylinder offerings from the brand. Expect the 450 motocross bike in a year or two. Followed by some off-road versions I would guess as well.

every time a moto company releases a new motor, someone says. "ooh, let's see it on an adv bike" aprilia came out with rs660 in a 380 lbs bike and everyone said, ooh let's see that in an adv bike. we did and it weighed 450+ lbs. this ducati already weighs 333 lbs without fuel. it's already heavier than the ktm 690 enduro. people already build out ktm 690 into adv bikes. for price difference vs a 690, one could buy a new 690 and build a badass adv bike. or better yet, buy used 690. people keep dreaming of the magic unicorn adv bike. kove 450 rally is also supposed to be that bike. it's heavier and much less powerful vs ktm 690. no harm in dreaming i suppose. also, ducati may be more powerful and ktm 690 has more torque. one can probably also wring 85 hp from the ktm, if desired.

[@thouseinthehouse]

3 videos in one day? dang working hard. Thank you!

[@randyhawks7549]

This is the best looking Hypermotard to date, not a true supermoto it's too heavy for that. I can't wait to see the MX bikes that Ducati is going to come out with soon.

I woulfd never have imagined ducati would build a big single. Kinda late to the party as far as supermoto goes but itll be interesting to see what else they use the motor in. Obviously an enduro is eady and ducati could race it at dakar. Id like to see it in a super light sportbike

[@fizzyridertoo]

They have a long history building singles, the last one being the SuperMono of the mid 90s.

I agree. I ride an adventure bike now, but have been looking at some super moto bikes and will probably end up buying one sometime this year. The KTM 690 smcr is definitely one at the top of the list but the Ducati hypermotard was the number 1 for me. Especially the older 821 versions. They are heavier but I ride mostly on paved and dirt roads anyways. Now that this came out I really want one 😂😂

Been through a few Ducs and now on 690 SMC... this is appealing though seat quite high if the number quoted is correct. Glad to see another light weight bike with usable power... in the fun zone

[@victors3803]

1) Ducati 796 was a beautiful machine. Light , nimble and fun. I know that because i owned one. I used is for everyday city riding, for more or less regular travelling 500 - 1000 km. I wasn’t afraid to use it off-road. And those roads were much worse than 90% of so called “off roads” that we see on youtube. You won’t believe, but even i used it to go into the forest to gather mushrooms and berries. My only concern with 796 was small tank. It was uncomfortable to always control gasoline level while driving on highways. I do not understand why Ducati started to transform that 796 into something more and more powerful. So, I’m glad that this little moto finally reappeared. 2) Please make a larger tank like you did for Hyperstrada. If you do it, i promise i will buy this motorcycle. 3) My congratulations with this new bike, Ducati! I hope it is going to be a hit in sales!

[@petestorm1157]

Still have my 2010 796 and have loved it since it was brand new. You're absolutely correct. It was sad to see that stripped down, light, super thrilling machine evolve into something it just didn't need to become. This new bike has me super excited. I see great things for this platform if they can just keep it simple, light, and fun!

[@randydewees7338]

I've been keeping an eye out for a 796. I had a Multi 1000DS and a S4R, loved them both. Later had a 2016 Duke 690, good bike liked it OK, but I kept thinking the 796 was probably the bike I wanted.

[@casefarley5744]

Best thing about this is that it will probably encourage KTM to finally update the dash on the sm690. Aside from that, this new bike is neither cheaper nor better than the KTM, so I expect that it will sell in very limited numbers, even allowing for the fact that the typical Ducati buyer is not buying based on value.

[@chiboreache]

KTM dash is minimal and perfect, if you can't understand your revs or neutral or whatever - you are a _automobilist_ not the motorcyclist...

Very interesting new platform engine for Ducati. With ducati's reputation for new development bikes, people may avoid 1st gens for that reason. For sure there will be bugs and problems arising from this new motor, hopefully next gens will be sorted like most of their other models. However, some people will still buy it for the "Ducati Value" It also is a good move to push the husky and ktms to improve their stagnant sumo models. Maybe even get the BMW to join the ride and bring back their Xmoto model. A good bump for supermoto lovers indeed! Now is the best time to save up just in time for next gens to arrive. 😅

[@Duken4evr29]

The Duc has a massive 116 bore and a short 62mm stroke, KTM is 102x84.5. Interesting that the Duc only uses a single spark plug, the 690 platform bikes use dual plug heads which help to ignite the required lean mix on such a large bore. I wager the Duc will run better stock as the dual exhaust allow it to meet sound regs easier than KTM's single exhaust, which is a known boat anchor, but in the KTM's favor it's CAT is in the exhaust can so it goes away with the can. Not sure about how they handle the CAT on this new Duc, hopefully it's not built into the header itself. The KTM makes considerably more power when tuned and allowed to breathe with a proper exhaust. No doubt this Duc will be much the same. Quickshifter is "available" so that sounds like an extra, it is standard on the KTM. Good running big singles are a gas. I am most interested in the Duc's wheelie assist feature of course, I have do that old school using the rear brake pedal on my 701 🤣
