WORDS: PRETTY BOY IMAGES: ELCHAPPO
This one is actually the third Hypermotard I’ve owned as I just absolutely love the models, and I bought the bike a couple of years ago with the paintjob as I loved the look. It’s had a fair few owners with me being the fifth, and I’m pretty sure it’s been tracked at some point in its life but not by me yet – I’ve spent time making it as trick as possible. Even so it had a crank seizure six months back, which initiated a full strip and rebuild of the bike. That meant I could give it even more love, especially on the outside as I’ve become pretty OCD on coatings. As per usual with Ducatis (and more so older ones) they’re not the best with their finish.
