Adventure instead of adventure

As a result, Dietmar and I had a lot of fun with SuperSport. A great motorcycle with only a few defects, that was quickly clear. But buy? One of the advantages of our tests with at least two riders is that we have such different motorcycle tastes. In this respect, there is a clear 50% when asked about the willingness to buy: I immediately, Dietmar, the sitting position is too sporty, too uncomfortable.

Nevertheless, I believe that Ducati has very cleverly filled the gap of the super athlete and created a "conquest bike". Thinks that even former Yamaha Honda riders can be happy with it, precisely because it is not as extreme as many other Ducatis.

These buyers get a bike that successfully prevents you from having to accept the limitations of a super athlete without sacrificing his speed. Adventure, dear adventure riders, can be experienced at the Ducati SuperSport.
