My Neighbor has been bit by the hyper bug.
He has about 10 thousand rode miles under his belt on other dual sport bikes and kept saying he wanted to convert his 06 Kawai KLR650 into a Motard.
He also wished he had a bit more power to keep up with some of our other friends on various SBK's and Jap sport bikes.
When I mentioned the Hyper to him he searched the internet and shortly there after I drug him kicking and screaming ( not really, but he was reluctant) to our Ducati dealer.
He looked for 2 hrs at the new and pre-owned 08 hypers and 09's.
They had an 08 S model with TONS of extra goodies on it. Things like the rizoma RCS levers and resevoirs for clutch and brakes. Full Termi's, ecu, air filter, Billet Clutch cover and More.
Best thing is it only had 1,000 miles on it and looked PRISTINE!
The dealer called the previous owner a "Flavor of the month" kind of client, and buys a New Ducati ever few months. The bike comes with 1 full year of service for free and all of this for under $12K.
He test rode it and came back with the look I can only describe as a KID ON CHRISTMAS!
He put his Kawi up for sale and told his wife he is buying the Hyper.
Before I mentioned the bike he never even thought of looking at one.
Now he has the BUG!
