Not sure about the front, but the rest looks great. At least it isn't as ugly as the Multistrada's. Karma

Love the detailing. But i have a slight suspicion that the designers may have taken styling cues from the honda FMX funmoto designers maybe?

Looks pretty.

Never heard them described as 'hypermotard' before, but like the name - in a similar vein to 'hypersports', which are more about all out power than actual sports bikes.

Only one I've seen that seems to have at all decent specs is the Highland:

166kg dry weight aint too far off some smaller single cylinder motards.

A while ago a company made a 1000cc ducati based air cooled bike with dry weight just over 100kg for sound of thunder. Obviously couldn't get it that low for a road bike, but could be interesting if they tried Smile

Gorgeous machine.

That is all.

I'd buy one, but it looks heavy, would rather blow the 7k on an svx Aprilia.

Looks nice but would prefer the (relative) practicality the Multistrada offered as I dont mind the looks on it. The bike probably works just as well in terms of performance for most as well, a little bit heavier due to different plastics I would assume.

Beautiful designing, some nice materials I expect, with a nice price too.

I’d have one.
