Say hello to Ducati's latest fully faired motorcycle - the Supersport. Available as the Supersport and the Supersport S, both the motorcycles use the Hypermotard derived 939 motor, but in a different state of tune and 80 per cent different internals. The idea behind the Supersport is to provide a sport motorcycle that is a bit easier to live with than the Panigales. Expect the motorcycle to arrive in India sometime next year with a price much lower than the 959 Panigale's Rs 14 lakh tag.
