Triumph Thruxton R vs Ducati Hypermotard 950 Comparison

The Triumph Thruxton R looks great, sounds great and it's so much fun to ride. Practicality and trackside bragging rights about power output figures may well take a back seat because the clean café racer lines and a decent list of features, coupled with a delightful engine make this a beautiful motorcycle worthy of your garage. The steep asking price maybe a problem and the availability as well.

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.
