|  SUPERBIKE CONCORSO ONLINE ROUND WINNERS ANNOUNCED
The online round of the Ducati Superbike Concorso, in which Superbike owners from around the country competed for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy and ultimate bragging rights, reached its conclusion at the beginning of this week.
33 bikes competed in the online showdown and ranged from a 1973 750 GT to multiple entries of today's Superbike class defining 1098. The field was highly competitive and ran the gamut—even including two examples of the legendary Supermono.
Demonstrating the ever-growing popularity and level of competition in the second year of the Superbike Concorso, this year's online round saw more entries, better photography and an onslaught of votes for the People's Choice—with roughly 1000 votes in the first week alone.

ATTACK THE CURVES, THE BUMPS, THE UNEXPECTEDRiding the Hypermotard lets you rule the road. Wide, tapered section handlebars transfer control of the tarmac to the rider and a full length seat eases fore and aft movement – up front when entering the turns, then slide back for maximum traction on exit. A rigidly triangulated trellis frame and track-tested chassis geometry is matched with state-of-the-art suspension. Start off with the road-holding prowess of huge 50 millimeter Marzocchi forks, gripped by a triple screw lower fork crown. These cartridge damper forks work as impressively as they look, with special high rigidity stainless steel sliders and external adjustability for compression and rebound damping, plus spring pre-load. The rear suspension performs with equal precision by using a fully adjustable ZF Sachs shock mounted to a robust single-sided swingarm. Light Marchesini wheels mounted on large diameter axles are fitted with the latest Z-rated Bridgestone BT014 tires sporting a fat 180/55 section on the rear. Stopping power is controlled by twin radially mounted Brembo four piston calipers gripping new lightweight 305 millimeter twin discs up front, and a 245 millimeter disc at the rear to make stopping as thrilling as gassing it. The new 1100 Desmo engine pumps out potent torque and horsepower. Twist the throttle and no matter the rpm, fuel injected power is at the rider’s command. The lightweight, 90 degree twin stands at the pinnacle of more than three decades of Desmo air-cooled development. One ride makes it clear why the 1100 engine has charmed journalists worldwide. This is the perfect motorcycle engine.
