I'm not sure if any of you guys head over to the ducati ms site but this little beauty has been posted up by loudbike. I'm not sure about the front nose change (I like my HM's beak) but the rest looks pretty lovely. Starting to look almost Monsterish :)



What say you?

Front end looks way better, should have left the back end alone

I agree that it's beginning to look Monsterish, but without the same level of success. The reason it's attractive to you, is that it's more like a Monster - your true desire.

I much prefer the original Hyper, over this, but not over a proper Monster (and yes, that includes the 696 ;) )

btw, Glad to see the therapy sessions are working, and you're prepared to acknowledge that beak. Good work.

I like that.Think the Hypers one high level pipe would have looked better as gives a cleaner look to the rear wheel.

I much prefer the original. The exhausts are s2/4r and were designed for them. Seat looks naff and a bit Jap. Looks heavy and bulky. 2 out of 10

You think? I'd say the other way round - the one thing I don't like about the standard Hypermotard is the chav rear spoiler/grab bar behind the rear seat pad... at least this conversion does something about that...

And I agree with others about the beak - the original nose is one of the nicest parts of the hyper' (infact I'd stick one on a 696 - now that would be cool x), and the twin exhausts on this bike look clumsy as others say...

Now this is more like it:
