Mixed breeds are usually robust and loyal companions. They may not have the appearance of a pedigree dog, but often combine the positive characteristics of several breeds in one creature. The Dorsoduro 1200 is also such a mongrel. And unlike most promenade mixes, it also looks good.

A true poser bike that does not have to hide on the country road. On the Ducati Hypermotard, you automatically feel cooler - from the moment you fire up the magnificent V2 to the moment you get off the saddle completely exhausted. Compared to other supermotos, the Ducati Hypermotard 950 needs to be ridden with determination, and that demands constant concentration. But it rewards this with brutal acceleration and a stable cornering position - no matter what speed. If you want to take an even sportier approach and perhaps make a detour to the race track now and then, you should go for the SP version. But for self-confident country road hunters, an excellent choice!
