RIDE REVIEW I 2026 DUCATI HYPERMOTARD V2 SP
Rider aids that work on the
track should also work on the
road, and, of course, it will look

practical the new SP will be,
especially compared to other
naked 120-hp middleweights,
which, in theory, should be more
focused on real-world riding.

many of the SP's excellent track
attributes should carry over,
especially its liberating lack of
bulk. It's so easy to pilot around

be just as effortless.
