Ducati Hypermotard 950 vs Suzuki Hayabusa Comparison

The third-generation Hypermotard takes inspiration, and strengthens its ties with the supermoto racing world, and has aggressive lines, and an "adrenaline fuelled personality," according to Ducati. With dual under-tail silencers, the Hypermotard 950 offers an aggressive and sporty machine with an upright riding position, offering ergonomics derived from the super moto world. Buying the Hypermotard 950 will always be a decision of the heart and not the head.

Priced at ₹ 16.40 lakh (Ex-showroom), the Suzuki Hayabusa offers superb value. It's got crackling performance, a sophisticated electronics suite, which makes it safe and easy to enjoy. The only downside is that the huge 1,340 cc engine generates a lot of heat on a hot day, which can be quite bothersome, and despite the slip-and-assist clutch, the lever feels heavy and not ideal, if you're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.
