Red tags on the wheels make the S go faster. Almost like a naked bike that found its clothes, the SuperSport is incredibly easy to ride at almost any pace, including thrashing around Monteblanco’s stop/start 2.76-mile layout. I last rode the bike at the world launch on and around the hills surrounding the circuit of Monteblanco in southwest Spain, not far from the gateway of Europe to Africa of Gibraltar. In a world where everything is specialized (especially sporting motorcycles), the Ducati SuperSport stood out. There are subtle changes to the SuperSport S, but it is pretty much the same bike under the skin as in 2017.

Before arch-rivals Aprilia essentially copied the aesthetic with the RS 660, the SuperSport was on its own as a sportbike that could pretty much do everything, from long-distance touring to track days and the odd run to the shops. The Ducati SuperSport was one of those odd-ball bikes when it first broke cover in 2017.

High canyon roads are the Ducati’s domain, but it’ll handle just about any riding you can throw at it just as well.īy Rennie Scaysbrook | Photography by Kit Palmer We last rode the Ducati SuperSport back in 2017 at the world launch in Spain.
