Hypermotard Voted Motorcycle Design Of The Year 2005
Ducati Hypermotard voted the best
design trophy winner of 2005 by the Motorcycle Design Association
The Motorcycle Design Association, a group of designers and professionals
from within the two-wheel industry worldwide, has voted the Ducati
Hypermotard, designed by Pierre Terblanche, as the best overall
motorcycle design trophy winner for 2005.
This award follows on from the 'Best of Show' award that was
given to the Hypermotard during the Eicma Show in Milan last
November, one of the most important shows worldwide for the motorcycle
sector.
In winning the best overall design award, the Hypermotard scored
50% more votes than the runner-up, the Yamaha MT-05.
The Design Trophy was awarded for the first time in September
2001; since then, every year, over 70 top professionals from
the worldwide design sector are called upon to vote for the best
motorcycle design. The jury, made up of designers as well as
representatives of the press and the main motorcycle manufacturers,
gather to chose the winners in five categories, and then nominate
the Motorcycle Design Trophy for the best overall motorbike design.
Ducati Hypermotard takes the power, the pleasure and the performance
of a supermotard bike to a new extreme and interprets it in Ducati's
unmistakeable style. With 100 horsepower and just 175 kg of dry
weight, it is still just a concept, but considering its success
so far, it could easily become part of the prestigious Ducati
range.
