Knight Day Ducati Aprila
The new blockbuster movie, Knight and Day, with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz riding on a Ducati Hypermotard motorcycle is a .... FAKE!

Am I jealous? What do you think!

Ducati Hypermotard
Ducati logo
In record time, Ducati have gone from concept to production for their new Hypermotard motorcycle.

The SuperMotard motorcycle is a stunner, it was so at concept, and it still is now that it's ready for production.

First deliveries are expected in May. Test rider Vittoriano Guareschi is full of praise for the motorcycle.

The photos show that the motorcycle is ready... for me !
