Ducati Superquadro Mono

[DuckRyder]

This is interesting its a single based on (assuming one believes the marketing information) 1/2 of a 1299 Panigale engine.

Currently available in the 698 hypermotard.

Would sorta like to see this in a baby multistrada.

KTM has been doing that a while.

Which one is better - Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono or KTM 690 SMC R?

Ducati has taken the wraps off the all-new Hypermotard 698 Mono with a starting price tag of $12,995 (approximately Rs

Does it rev hi like the Ducati?

80 hp and 10,000 rpm. I would like to see this in a modern version of the Supermono.

That would actually be cool too, unfortunately its a non starter for my lower back...

With the increasing market share of smaller bikes i could see this engine going into a wider range, maybe a SuperSport 698...

Only one live sound clip i can find with and it is with the racing exhaust - sounds good but racing exhaust is too loud...

Oh and additionally Ducati apparently has an entry into the Italian Motocross Series. Not much information, but supermotard traditionally being a dirt bike with street wheels/tires one might wonder aloud if there's any crossover here....

It can...I believe you can set the rev limit as high as 12,500 rpm...good if you have a ton of mods, but a waste for the stock setup.

I have a few modest mods, and have my limiter set around 10k...it is running out of breath by then, so I shift earlier.

This type of bike is for ripping around a short and tight circuit, stunting, or making the daily commute a blast. I don't see a high-revving hp curve being an advantage in this segment. I would love to see a Vitpilen 701 vs this new Duc...it would be interesting.

Now, give me this setup (super lightweight, semi aggressive position, great shocks, etc) with a super high revving 4 cylinder 400, and better aero, and I would be throwing my money...

Definitely a different engine, but also very cool.
