The Hypermotard (after the 916) has been on my lust list since 2006, after making my Pani R into a track only bike I was getting summer depression when I wasn't signed up for a track day but the weather was gorgeous. Reached out to my dealer for an RVE but sadly they were sold out.....except for one, chassis #069 that Ducati NA was saving for something/someone special. HVMC took care of me by making this puppy a real show stopper.

Enjoyed some street rides and a few track days chasing my kid on his Ninja 300 (little bugger was impossible to match on corner entry). Doing the break in service, getting some Ducabike rearsets to stop dragging my toes and keep my mind in GP Shift mode, then sadly done for the year. Looking forward to thrashing it in 2022 and glad to be part of the Hyper community.

A beauty shot heading out to her first track day, one next to Loris Baz's V4R at the NJMP MotoAmerica round, and chasing my RugRat down turn 13 at NYST.

Nice story. That must be amazing having a kids ride with you at the track. I've got one who wants a Ducati, but he's got some miles to put in still before he gets there.
Hu that's inspiring some new goals. Let's see.

@Vbreeze This was his first whole season on his own bike, occasional bike rentals for 2y, and lunch time runs before that…..scariest 2:00m of my life was watching him disappear around T1 and wait for him to round T18…right up until the point I saw him dip into T3 while being on track with him, now that is scary, especially now that he is legit quick! If his mom saw that it would be over!

I encourage you to take them out….but perhaps a baby aspirin first.
