Boothy got the role!
Pity the poor slider as its face is torn off…
The Ducati certainly looks a lot more like a ‘motard’ than the KTM. It definitely looks cool, and in its red and white SP colour scheme it certainly turned a few heads on our road test. Really though, it needed to look the part because it doesn’t have anywhere near the same amount of bling as the 790, but what it does have is a typically Ducati sized price tag. On paper it’s nothing short of extortionate. £13,895 isn’t far off litre sportsbike territory and although you won’t get a V4 Panigale for anything like that sort of money, £13k-odd gets you plenty of motorbike; and that’s before you even start going down the used bike route.
