The Ducati SuperSport is their answer to everyday sport-biking. While the Panigale 959 has enough grunt in it to tear open the local race track, the new SuperSport allows for a slightly relaxed riding experience; a bike which will feel at home in the urban jungle as well as on a racetrack. It is claimed to be priced at INR 11.72 lakhs with the SuperSport S expected at INR 13 lakhs (both ex-showroom, Delhi).
Volkswagen is said to be planning to sell the Ducati brand, and word on the street is that Hero MotoCorp may be interested in the Italian bike maker.
