Hey!
I am looking at a 700 - 1100cc bike for the road in an upright riding position and have been looking at the Ducati Hypermotard (Which uses same engine as the Monster and SportClassic). Could you please give your opinion on how the engine compares to faster revving bikes such as a KTM 990 SMR if you have ridden one?
How do you feel they are like to ride in tighter spaces such as city commuting? (this isn't it's main purpose for me but will be used for that occasionally).

I will thumbs up every answer even if you have only just ridden them before, any review on the engine characteristics compared to other brands and V-Twin performance engines is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
