At the heart of the 2009 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 super motard motorcycle, Ducati relies on a 1078 cc (65.8 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 90 HP (65.7 kW) at 7,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 103.1 Nm (76 lb-ft) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 83.5 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Hypermotard 1100 measures 179 kg (395 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5 HP/kg (1.99 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 845 mm (33.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,455 mm (57.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12.4-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
