Another adrenaline-inducer arriving?

Ducati's new motard, the lightweight new Hypermotard 796 features a lower seat height and brand new smooth and flexible engine to make it the perfect urban assault vehicle. A dry weight of just 167kg (368lb) and seat height of 825mm (32.5in) makes the Hypermotard 

796 a sure-footed 20mm (0.8in) lower than the 1100.The completely new Ducati 796 engine has a bore and stroke of 88mm x 66mm, conforms to Euro 3 regulations and produces 81hp (59.6kW) of power and 55.7lb-ft (7.7kgm) of torque with the smooth and very economical rideability enjoyed from all Desmodue L-Twins.

The new power unit is also equipped with an APTC ‘wet’ clutch to give a ‘slipper’ type action that prevents destabilization of the rear-end during aggressive down-shifting and also gives the extra benefit of a super-light feel at the adjustable lever, a great advantage in stop-start city traffic or during longer journeys.

Reliable sources indicated its arrival at Malaysia in "quite near future". Definitely this is a much awaited machine.
