2013 Ducati Hyperstrada Photos/Images/Pics/WallpaperFor 2013, Ducati added the Hyperstrada to its Hypermotard family, which also features the standard Hypermotard and the high-performance Hypermotard SP.
The Hyperstrada is a “cross over” bike, merging the world of motard and touring. When Ducati unveiled the bike to the public, it quickly earned the name “Mini Multi,” showing its close relation to the technical-savvy Multistrada 1200.Powering the Hyperstrada is the new-for-2013 engine, the 821cc Tesastretta 11-degee L-Twin that produces 110 horsepower and a needs a service-friendly 18,600 miles between valve checks.Suspension duties are handled by 43mm Kayaba upside-down forks up front, and a single Sachs rear shock absorber with user-friendly remote hydraulic spring preload adjustment out back.The 399-lbs. (dry) Hyperstrada also features the latest in Ducati technology, including three-level ABS, eight-level Ducati Traction Control (DTC), and three riding modes – Sport (110hp – High), Touring (110hp – Medium) and Urban (75hp – Low).Helping to assist in touring situations, the Hyperstrada arrives with 50 liters of quickly-detachable side luggage (an extra 31-liter top case is available), a center stand, 20mm higher handlebars, a touring-oriented windscreen, a thicker seat, two auxiliary 12v power outlets and passenger grab handles.The 2013 Hyperstrada is available in Ducati Red or Arctic White, and retails for $13,295.Ducati relevantly released additional images of the Hyperstrada, which are highlighted above.

This week, in the first segment Editor Don Williams talks to us about the new Kawasaki Versys 650 LT. It’s the middleweight ADV style machine that uses the same 650 parallel twin motor as the Ninja 650, so it’s an excellent performer in a user-friendly, good looking package.
In the second segment, I chat with one of my dearest industry friends—now retired Honda PR executive, Jon Seidel. Jon’s fascinating career spans some 30 years with Big Red, and gave him some great experiences with some incredible machines. I was fortunate enough to be invited on many of the press launches that he organized. His new project is documenting and saving many of the old archives from years gone by—and incidentally, if you have anything that may be of value to the project, please contact us by email at producer@ultimatemotorcycling.com and we’ll pass it all on to Jon.
So on that note, from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode!
