Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Revealed

Ducati took the wraps off the Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE, which is essentially based on the Hypermotard 950 concept that was one of the attractions at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este last year. Underneath, it is similar to the Hypermotard but the USP is the very cool-looking graffiti style paintjob. Ducati says the process was tough, complex even to get that perfect look of an airbrushed graffiti work. Ducati employed a group of skilled painters who undertook the project and ensured that the paint finish was the same as on the concept model. The wheels and the seat on the motorcycle gets a dual-tone colour scheme, adding to the cool quotient.
