Once we had our feet on the ground we rode the base SuperSport (US $12,995), with its fully adjustable 41mm Marzocchi fork and Sachs shock, on the road. Oh no, this is an entirely new bike with a slightly different philosophy that combines comfort and affordability in a good looking package, while remaining unmistakably Ducati. That’s the vision I cannot seem to get out of my head. You’ve probably heard that name before but make no mistake: this is not the funky-looking, air-cooled, white-framed SuperSport with a square headlight of the 90s. Which is more or less how we've ended up with a rider-friendly, unusually comfortable sportbike that won’t break the bank or your back. Well, a little.ĭucati still sets its sights high, but more and more it is aiming at a broader audience. But it seems things have changed in recent years. Each and every bike had to be the most powerful, the most desirable, the most mostest in its class to be deserving of the logo on its tank. Up until a few years ago, Ducati was hyper focused on building nothing but light, fast, exclusive (read: 'expensive') motorcycles.
