Conclusion - forever young

It is, of course, a toy, one for older children who want to (and can) spend at least 17,290 euros on their gift. Hear my words: Every penny of it is well invested!

Before I forget it: I have now studied the data sheet. The Duc is not only up to date in terms of engine and chassis, but also in terms of assistance systems: series are Wheelie Control, Curve ABS from Bosch, Traction Control, Ride By Wire and three driving modes ...

... not even this prejudice lasts more.

The test bike was provided to us by Ducati Hamburg.

Conclusion - what sticks

Class, the Urban Motard carries the name suffix "City Rebel" right. She's a little evil, but not pretentious. By its very nature, this is a real FunBike. You just can't not have fun with the box. More than 12,000 euros are an announcement for an 800cc machine with this rather spartan equipment, but the driving pleasure, the appearance and the value of the Urban Motard justify this price.
 
The test machine was kindly provided by Bergmann & Söhne in Bremervörde for this test. There is a demonstrator who is already looking forward to many more test rides - of course next to many other Ducati bikes and machines from Suzuki. So - next trip to Bremervörde, ask for Holger, take coffee and at least boot around the Urban Motard. Have fun!
