King Of The Road - Ducati KTM RC8

Ducati has unleashed their new KTM RC8 – which being dubbed a Superbike by anyone who rides it and even looks at it. The new RC8 has V-twin engines of around 150 horsepower (can we say power).

This bike has a tough exterior with sharp edged styling – which is common of most KTM’s sportbikes. The RC8 features a new 75 degree V-Twin engine displacing 1148cc’s, making 155 horsepower. That’s class-competitive, although the bike is a bit of a porker at 414 lbs.

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.
