I'm looking for this riding experience:
But with more power and the capability to go on multi-day rides.
Rides with a focus on those tiny backroads where there aren't people texting, speed traps, traffic, etc...
Roads like this:
Or even like this:
Well, I think I found the perfect motorcycle for my intended riding experience, the Ducati Hyperstrada.
Here is how I explained my ride today to my riding friends:
Test rode the Hyperstrada. There’s something about it extremely attractive. Intoxicating really. Maybe I have the Ducati virus now.
This isn’t a touring bike because you are right out in the elements. The windscreen keeps the air off the chest, but leaves the helmet in clean air.
A hybrid bike, being dirtbike in scale and feel, but a high performance bike too.
As opposed to riding a motorcycle, I was the motorcycle, if that makes any sense.
To even see the gauges or windscreen I had to move my head and look down towards the seat. Literally nothing in front of me.
Maybe my experience makes sense to you.
