2008 Ducati Hypermotard

Many motorcycle enthusiasts are wondering if Ducati’s new Hypermotard is the perfect supermoto. The Hypermotard is Ducati’s V-Twin, 1100cc take on the supermoto concept. As such it’s been designed to offer all the excitement of a conventional supermoto, but with added style, practicality and usability. Up close, the Hypermotard is more muscular and purposeful than it seems in pictures. It’s also much smaller, more compact and has many more beautifully-detailed touches than you expect too.

BMW Motorrad Creates Neck Brake System

BMW Motorrad is constantly thinking of different ways of protecting its riders. They have introduced its new neck Brace System, which is designed to help protect the spinal cord from injury in the event of an accident. It’s usable with any helmet, and the way it works is quite simple and easy for anyone to use. The rider places the carbon fiber, Kevlar, and fiberglass brace around his or her neck and then secures it using a pair of fasteners mounted to its side.
